Today I chat to Sarah Gittins about running a business, how to run it successfully with many tools, such as having strong boundaries, delegating and how to separate work and your social life. We discuss how to implement strategies to improve your business and how to put trust in your staff, figure out what you don’t want to do in your business. Get rid of the harder smaller, mundane tasks and give those jobs to your staff. .  Sarah has her own business - The Dance Den Sarah’s saying in the Den ‘YOU COME FIRST’ it makes you stop and question, what is it that you want in life, how are you going to get there?  Sarah’s 3 pointers for your business and what you provide -  I aim to -  My students will -  My Legacy is -  Please find more information on Sarah’s website - https://thedanceden.co.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3IQEb9urfHD1iqFcKMDKx6vqjSBcK-fibWQYkAVMaS0rYX8k6F0TDEI4w Sarah’s website quotes 'We ALL do what we love and probably would do it for free, but we shouldn’t! Imagine a school where you are valued, appreciated and return home after a long evening of teaching with a smile. It is possible. I have run my business for 20 years and there was a point where I was exhausted, stressed, struggling and defeated.  Then I transformed the way I worked.  Now I serve hundreds of children a year, in a thriving school with less than 15 hours a week ‘office time’.  It is possible, I have done it and now I show other dance and theatre school owners HOW to do it too. It’s time to transform your mindset, dance school and bank balance and let’s get this business working for you!’ How can you be the best dance teacher, person, friend, partner, creator, event organiser, administrator, account provider and much much more. How can you juggle everything and still have a life and have the energy to enjoy every aspect of your life. We are in a world now where we work and work and work to almost point prove as women to prove we can do it all. There is no harm in asking for help, especially if this is going to help your mental health, your social time and your self care.
