Running a business—whether it’s a dance studio, a consultancy, or any creative venture—takes more than just passion. It requires strategy, discipline, and smart decision-making. In this episode, Crystal Vilkaitis and I sit down with Rose Kishner, owner of a thriving dance studio, to explore how she has mastered the business side of her creative passion.
Rose shares the behind-the-scenes challenges of managing a dance business, from handling daily operations to making strategic financial decisions. We dive into how the Rapid Planning Method has helped her stay focused, why breaking down and mastering one part of the business at a time leads to sustainable growth, and how the shadowing process has sharpened her leadership skills. Plus, we discuss why business owners should see themselves as their company’s greatest asset—and how reverse engineering goals can set you up for long-term success.
If you’re a business owner, a creative entrepreneur, or someone looking for more structure in your business, this episode is packed with insights to help you refine your approach, avoid burnout, and build something that truly lasts. Let’s get into it!
