She has been in several of Nolan’s movies, including Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises.

Anne had this to say about working with the legendary director:

“Chris also doesn’t allow chairs on set. I worked with him twice. He doesn’t allow chairs on set, and his reasoning is, if you have chairs, people will sit, and if they’re sitting, they’re not working…I mean, he has these incredible movies in terms of scope and ambition and technical prowess and emotion. It always arrives at the end under schedule and under budget. I think he’s onto something with the chair thing.”

She didn’t mention this… but the director doesn’t allow phones on his sets either.

I understand this thinking.

When we think about success and growth and getting to our goals, we think that it’s going to be some monumental huge event that causes it.

We create the perfect ad campaign.

We get a grant and are able to invest a bunch of money into our studio.

We discover a method book series that kids absolutely love and they won’t stop practicing as a result of it.

In my experience, it’s never these huge events…

It’s the “chairs” decisions that make the difference.

It’s dozens and hundreds of small, (seemingly) insignificant decisions.

It’s the little habits and disciplines and decisions that add up to huge wins over time.

This is why I’m offering the Studio Growth Accelerator program...

I wanted to give studio owners access to the same powerful coaching process that helped me make dozens of small (but significant) changes.

These changes added up for me over time.

I’ve referenced these significant coaching moments throughout the past month and in the video that I made with Alyssa.

For example:

• My coach challenged me to do a new marketing technique that I had been procrastinating on for two years. I knew that I should do it… but I kept stopping myself with doubts and negativity. In less than an hour, he helped me overcome this obstacle… and it led to a huge jump in revenue over the next six months

• I once paid 3500 to work with a coach for ONE month on a hiring challenge in my business. He gave me a framework for hiring and managing my first real employee... and I saw a huge jump in revenue because of the simple work that I did with him.

• I thought of myself as a business "loser" for a long time. I didn't think I would have success outside of my music studio. One of my coaches (Melissa) helped me overcome self-criticism and negativity in just a few phone calls with her. It made getting up and going to work each morning a lot easier.

• One of my very first coaches challenged me to stop being afraid of my customers. He didn't give me any fancy business techniques or "secret" knowledge. He challenged me to do something in my business that I had been afraid of doing... and it led to a 33% jump in revenue in the next 3 months.

I could go on and on and on.

You’ll notice a lot of these obstacles that I overcame were in my own head!!!!

Look at the words I used… “loser”, fear, afraid, challenge.

This has nothing to do with marketing or hiring or learning more facts about business.

It has everything to do with getting unstuck where we are stopping ourselves.

Do you want to get unstuck?

This is not a trite question.

I mean it.

Do. You. Want. To. Get. Unstuck?
