Quotes:
"Most businesses are seasonal. You can either have complete panic that the studio is slow and you're freaking out or you can embrace the slow down and say, 'How am I going to use this time to the best of my abilities?'" [Nick, 2:57]
"Treat December like an off-season, where you can take a step back and look at the big picture. See what is working, what is not working, what feels wrong and what your space says about your brand energy." [Nick, 5:22]
"Align your team before the chaos of January hits…it really is important to make sure the team is feeling refreshed instead of worrying about what didn't happen in 2025 at this point." [Nick, 6:22]
