From $100K+ in Debt to 22% Profit: How To Find Your CEO Power

You can run a successful dance studio for years and still feel completely insecure when it comes to your numbers.

In this episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, we're resharing a powerful talk from two years ago with Robyn Tedesco, CEO of Move With Grace Dance Studio, co-owner of Inspire Dance Challenge and Amplify Dance Lab, and a certified Board Director with the Performing Arts Educators of Canada.

Robyn shares how changing her mindset, learning her KPIs, creating consistent financial routines, and holding herself accountable helped her step into her CEO power—paying off more than $100,000 in debt in 18 months while still achieving a 22% profit. If getting on top of your finances keeps showing up on your 90-day plan, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to be a "math person" to understand your numbers and take control of your studio's financial future.
