On Wednesday, we are hosting a free webinar.

This webinar is for owners of both small studios and mid-size schools.

I have worked with hundreds of studio owners 1-on-1.

Thousands have been through my trainings.

The truth is that most studio and school owners are working too much. And - it’s simply because they haven’t been shown a more professional way to run their studio… most likely because our industry has certain norms.

Those norms quietly teach owners to stay involved in far too much of the business.

So instead of spending their time on the work they’re best at (and actually enjoy), they end up buried in dozens of jobs that someone else could be doing.

Our goal is to change that, which is why we made this webinar.

In this webinar, you will learn:

• The 5 signs that you need to hire... and how to know you’ve waited too long.

• What you should delegate first... and the seemingly obvious tasks that may actually be a mistake to hand off.

• How much you can realistically delegate in a small music school... even if you only have a part-time admin or a handful of teachers. Even if it's just YOU teaching!

• How to delegate without watching your standards slowly slip… especially when the responsibility affects students, parents, leads, or money.

• How to train someone to handle situations that require judgment, not just follow an SOP.

• Why “ownership thinking” doesn’t come automatically with a promotion… and how to deliberately develop it in your team.

• How to give someone access to passwords, financial information, software, and other sensitive parts of your business without giving away the farm.

• How to know whether someone is actually ready for more responsibility… and how to increase their authority without making a giant leap of faith.

• The simplest way to monitor delegated work without becoming the person doing the work again.

• What to do when someone simply isn’t performing to your standard... and how to tell whether the problem is the employee, the training, or the delegation itself.

• How to simplify systems and SOPs so documenting your business doesn’t become another giant job for you and your team.

• Why delegating individual tasks can actually keep you trapped in the day-to-day… and what you should transfer instead.

• The three things that must accompany every important delegation if you want someone to actually own the outcome.

• The 5 levels of decision-making authority… and how to move someone from “What should I do?” to handling difficult situations without you even knowing they happened.

• Why even a beautifully written SOP may never produce the kind of employee you actually want… and what has to happen after the SOP is written.

• How to create a simple 30-day plan to get one recurring responsibility permanently off your plate… instead of leaving the webinar with another notebook full of ideas you never implement.

It’s a horrible cliché, but both Nate and I want you to work smarter… not harder (or longer).
