Vocal Coach and Founder of Soundcheck Studios in Ballarat Victoria, Zara Jarvis launched her Music School just over 2 years ago and in that time, has built a thriving community of over 200 students both in person and online. Despite a 95% statistic of failures for starts ups, Zara has managed to create a profitable business, with a team of 13 staff, a strong instagram following and has recently launched her online store. 
In this interview, Zara shares some powerful tips to those who have started or are considering launching into a music education business.

 We discuss her personal challenges and triumphs throughout her journey, including a serious health scare at 20 years of age, which taught Zara that life can be short and fuelled her inspiration to live life to the fullest, to chase her dreams and take massive action. 
This conversation explores the harsh reality of owning a business, the value of patience, learning new skills and managing operations, marketing, performance management as well as key factors for hiring new staff, optimising creativity and more. Zara is proof that with the right attitude, driving desire and genuine passion in your own cause, that it’s possible to build your dreams and make a living doing what you love.
