One of the most common questions I receive from instructors, and the one that seems to cause most new instructors to have sleepless nights is, “How much should I charge?” This seemingly harmless question somehow ends up becoming an area of confusion and frustration for new instructors and seasoned studio owners alike. Mostly, the reasons for this boil down to the following reasons: * Many instructors place too little value on what they have to offer * And even those instructors who feel they are Read the rest of this entry »
