In this episode, I’m sharing the real story of when I almost opened a boutique franchise—and what I learned about the systems, expectations, and financial commitments that come with it. From a $25K pre-opening marketing budget to 8% franchise fees and no territory protection, I break down what shocked me (and what didn’t), why I ultimately said no, and how that experience completely reshaped how I lead and scale my own business.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode: * The real numbers behind franchise ownership: what’s required before day one * How corporate models bake in mentorship, sales goals, and marketing systems * Why paying 8% to someone else might be the wake-up call to invest in your own brand * Two non-negotiables that made me walk away from the deal * How one decision I made in anticipation of the franchise helped me scale faster than ever * The difference between running a business and owning a brand This episode is for you if… * You’re a wellness entrepreneur ready to lead like a true CEO * You’ve been operating without a solid marketing or sales strategy * You want to build something that’s scalable and sustainable * You’ve been considering franchising, or you’re curious how it works Work with Jackie Murphy Say Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial [https://www.instagram.com/studioceoofficial/] Learn about The Studio CEO Program [https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo]

This seemingly innocent phrase might be the very thing holding your studio back from sustainable growth. Those "quick" five-minute tasks—responding to DMs, handling sub requests, ordering supplies—aren't so quick when you add them up. They could be stealing hours of your week that could be spent on actual leadership. When you're stuck in this reactive cycle, your business becomes completely dependent on your constant presence and availability. This isn't just unsustainable; it's a recipe for burnout. In this episode, I'm breaking down: * How doing everything yourself can stop you from reaching your goals * The two foundational roles every growing studio needs (and how they are different). * A quick self-assessment to determine your most pressing hiring need. * How intentional onboarding sets your team up for real ownership over time * How strategic hiring lays the foundation for sustainable, long-term growth You don't have to be the glue holding everything together. True leadership means building a team that runs with you, allowing your business to scale while you reclaim your time, energy, and passion for the vision that started it all.    Work with Jackie Murphy Say Hi on Instagram @studioceoofficial [https://www.instagram.com/studioceoofficial/] Learn about The Studio CEO Program [https://www.jackiegmurphy.com/studioceo]
