ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This one's for the studio owners with admin teams, or those thinking about hiring one. Amanda and Nathan unpack how to get the most out of your admin staff without micromanaging, overspending, or letting things fall through the cracks.
They answer a listener question from Bec about admin strategy, and dive into real, practical steps you can take to build a streamlined, cost-effective, and high-performing admin setup that actually helps you grow.
(Plus, Amanda admits to getting distracted by Amazon. Again.)
Key Takeaways:
- How admin staff costs can quietly eat up your profit if you're not paying attention
- Why you should do the admin first, even if it's not your favourite thing
- The importance of systemising tasks (and the free tool Nathan swears by)
- How to track how long things really take before handing them off
- Setting clear KPIs for admin roles (including examples for leads & accounts)
- How to keep staff accountable without micromanaging
- What weekly check-ins should look like (spoiler: it's just 10 minutes)
- The danger of putting "nice" teachers in admin roles they're not suited for
- How to start small with hours and build from there
- What true leadership (not just management) looks like with your team
