Now that the flights, the car rental and the accommodations are booked and confirmed, the focus comes back to the present time. In the business zone, everything must be carefully planned and organised for a smooth operation while we are away.
Things seem to be moving much faster now. The kitchen reno is going so well that it seems that it will be finished by the first week of July. School is almost over for the boys. Effective today The Little Workshop is closed for the summer, and Le Petit Atelier's last classes for this school year will take place at the end of June. Many Little Workshop students and Petit Atelier clients are already confirmed for September, and the work will soon begin to fill available spots on both schedules.
With July comes the time to organize the fall, confirming teachers availability and looking at tentative training and work schedules, and preparing training material. It's also a good time for contacting prospect clients and advertise private music lessons for August registrations, and update the web sites.
With August comes the time to confirm all of that, clean and prepare the studio for Little Workshop students, buy piano and guitar methods, and begin training for the two new and fabulous Petit Atelier teachers, prepare payroll schedules, and start a new set of financial books for a new year of operations.
This is all the juggling required to run our two little businesses - and I absolutely love it!
