When I dreamed of starting my own business, I imagined a store.  When I started my photography business, I operated out of my home studio, in my basement.  Yes, we transformed a portion of our house where families would come for photoshoots.  My home studio is now closed and I now do photoshoots on-location such as outdoors or at the client site, or rent studio photography studio space by hour/day.  Do I desire to have my own location?  Yes!  Will it help me scale and grow my business?  I’m sure it will!  Is it possible?  YES!

If you desire to have a brick and mortar business and gain perspective on how to scale your business to a 7-figure business, this episode is for you.   I’m so excited to welcome to the show today Rebecca Lane, founder and Director of Lane School of Music and Rebecca Lane Coaching who has scaled and grown her brick and mortar business to a 7 figure business.

About Rebecca:

Driven by her commitment to music education, Rebecca Lane has acquired both respect and demand for her skills in and around the GTA. Her extensive training in violin performance began in her hometown of Hampton, New Brunswick, and took her to Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland where she completed her Bachelor of Music in violin performance under the tutelage of Nancy Dahn.

In 2007, Rebecca relocated to Toronto where she earned an Artist's Diploma in orchestral training at the Glenn Gould School. In 2010, Ms. Lane founded Upper Beaches Violin Studio with a few private students in her home.
