Episode 37: When It Feels Like January 74th | Creative Business Breakdown Podcast

Is it just us, or has this month seemed to last…FOREVER?! The first month of 2019 has been quite the rollercoaster, with plenty of ups, downs and in betweens both personally and professionally.

In Episode 37 of the Creative Business Breakdown podcast, we’re talking about how we’ve celebrated the highs, faced the challenges, and just kept moving forward throughout this very long month.

  

As we finally reach the end of January, we are looking forward to sharing new resources with members of the Music Therapy CEO Project on February 1st. Join us and up your game when it comes to self-care, profit planning, and making progress on all those goals you set for 2019.

Episode 35: Goal Setting for the New Year | Creative Business Breakdown Podcast

Happy New Year! We hope 2019 is off to an amazing start for you. We spent the second day of this new year setting business goals based on our new mantra (which we shared in Episode 34), and this year’s goal setting day looked and felt a little different than years’ past.

So in Episode 35 of the podcast, we are sharing how we approached the creation of our 2019 goals, how they are related to our mantra, what we learned through this process, and some other surprises that came up along the way.

{CBB 33} 2018: Our Year in Review

Episode 33 - 2018: Our Year in Review | Creative Business Breakdown Podcast

Each year, we create a mantra for our business. 2018 was no exception, and our mantra for this year was “Expansion, Flow and Joy”. These 3 words played a huge role in all of the decisions we made, projects we pursued, and culture we cultivated at Music Therapy Connections.

As we near the end of 2018, we wanted to reflect on how the impact all 3 of these words had on every aspect of our business throughout the year. Listen to Episode 33 and find out how we expanded, flowed, and found joy in 2018.

In this episode, we also share how our mantras from years past continue to have a positive effect on us both personally and professionally. We’re looking forward to sharing our 2019 mantra with you in the next episode!

Until then,
Rachel & Katey

{CBB 32} Finishing Out the Year Strong and Prepping for 2019

After Thanksgiving, the remainder of the year usually feels like a race to the finish line. It’s a month filled with events like our big winter recital, company Christmas party, last class session of the year, and all the other things that come with the holiday season.

Keeping our heads in the game — AND keeping our team motivated — is no easy task. We would rather be curled up in front of the fire watching Hallmark movies than planning our marketing strategy for January, mapping out content for an entire year, and having business meetings as usual during these final weeks. 

But we know that putting in the work now will help set us up for a strong start to 2019, so in Episode 32 of the podcast, we’re talking all about how we do just that.

Listen in for tips on how to stay motivated at work during the holidays, how you can plan ahead for January, and how you can make the most of this season even while being focused and productive.



In this episode, we talk about the Music Therapy CEO Project: our new monthly subscription that provides you with the resources and tools to help improve your CEO mindset and move to the next level of business ownership.

For just $12/month, you’ll receive MT CEO materials (including videos, worksheets, sample documents, and much more) in your email inbox on the 1st of each month. Join us now and set yourself up for an amazing start to 2019!

See you inside,
Rachel & Katey

{CBB 31} Our Boss Vacation (And Why You Should Take One, Too)

Episode 31: Our Boss Vacation (And Why You Should Take One, Too)

It’s truly amazing what a few days away can do for two business owners with a whole lot on their plates. Our boss vacation couldn’t have come at a better time, and spending it on the beach in Florida was the perfect way to disconnect from our daily lives, focus on completing our new project, spend some quality time together, and above all, enjoy some R&R.

As we discussed in previous episodes, this trip has been on our list of goals since we first became business partners back in 2014. It took 4 years to actually go through with booking it, but our inaugural boss vacation was worth the wait and will most likely become an annual occurrence!

In this episode, we’re spilling the beans on exactly how we spent our time in Clearwater Beach. We also talk about the planning process, how we made it happen financially, and the effect it had on us both personally and professionally. If you are thinking about taking a boss vacation yourself (and we think you should!), then hopefully this episode will provide you with the extra motivation to go for it.

We’re ALSO giving you the full scoop on the Music Therapy CEO Project, our brand-new program which combines a 5-credit CMTE course with an entire year of guidance and resources for music therapy business owners. We couldn’t be more excited about this new offering, and we’re looking forward to really diving in with our participants after enrollment closes on Friday.

If you have questions, feel free to leave a comment here, contact us via social media, or send an email to info@musictherapyconnections.org. We can’t wait to see you inside!

Until then,
