Recently I sat down with Joe and he shares how he created the perfect balance between his school job and his private lesson studio, growing from 4 to 19 private students in just 9 months.

That’s 15 new students, an additional 8.5 weekly teaching hours, and an income jump from $600/month to $3,000/month.

What changed? Joe shifted from a small side hustle to a structured studio business. By committing to a consistent schedule, offering summer lesson packages, and preparing to launch group classes, he’s built a reliable $2,400/month increase in income, while guaranteeing himself 8 weeks off per year.

He feels proud of the stability and flexibility his studio now provides, all while still thriving in his school teaching role and enjoying a sustainable work-life balance.

Really excited to share this conversation with you all!
