Behind the Scenes w/Maestro Tales

Starting their business a year before the pandemic with just three in-person classes, Maestro Tales founders Emily Fellner Zeig and Jenny Sears couldn’t imagine how big their music exploration program would grow. Maestro Tales, designed for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers has since become the world's leading music exploration program, and its founders share great insights and valuable perspectives for you as an entrepreneur. 

We get to hear about:

  • How they are maximizing their in-person and online components

  • Their business operations pre-pandemic, during the pandemic, and after the pandemic

  • Challenges they've been facing as a business majorly run by its founders

  • How to maintain a fine balance between the outcome and sustainability of what you're providing

  • How to let go as directors and allow other people on board without overthinking

…and so much more!

Quotes:

It feels a little bit wrong for us to sit here and say that nobody can fill our shoes. Currently, we are trying to actively solve and step away from the notion that nobody can do it like we can because it's not true.

How Automation Can Save Your Business

Using automation to perform repetitive tasks can be a huge timesaver. The ability to "set and forget" certain aspects of the business give us greater freedom to pursue those areas that need our attention. Think about working on the business rather than in the business.

By automating certain processes and tasks, businesses can cut down on their expenses. If you spend a lot of time at work doing everything but work – administrative tasks are one massive time-sink, and so are deliveries – then automating those processes makes the most sense for your business because you’ll be able to provide a faster and more efficient service to your clients, and free up your own time to pursue other business objectives. Tune in to today’s episode to learn more!

What we’ll talk about:

  • What inspired today's talk on automation

  • Crucial areas in your business that require automation

  • The difference automation will surely make to you, your employees, and your customers 

  • Multiple advantages you could trigger in your business with automation

… and so much more! 

Quotes:

People think that you kind of lose that high-touch feeling for your clients and your customers with automation. But the opposite will happen when you and your team are freed up to connect and provide more of a service,  without bogging you and your teeth down.
