AW: I quit my job today

I am going to finish out the dance season (6 weeks and 5 days, but who's counting?) and then teach 3-4 classes over the summer (if the director wants me to). But after that I'm done.

I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years. I have a contract that says that I can't work at another studio within a 10 mile radius of the studio for one calendar year after my contract ends. I want to clear my contract so that I can open my own studio. The location that I have chosen is within the 10 mile radius, so that's why I have made this choice.

It will also give me a year to spend time with Brennon and take care of things in my house that I have put aside -- projects, crafts, etc. It will also give me a year to really plan for my studio. I am sad to leave some of my students, and really anxious about how the studio director will react. She is my best friend's sister, so we obviously have a personal relationship too. But that's part of the reason why I need to leave. I don't agree with her business practices. And I do a lot for the studio that is uncompensated. A lot. If I'm going to be working so hard, I want it to be for a vision that I feel strongly about, and for a business that is my own. Not someone else's business.

I still have to work with her for the next almost 7 weeks. I'm really anxious because she can be crazy. Case in point -- she chased me around a dressing room last year because I told her I needed her to leave me alone for a little while (she was acting like a lunatic, and I needed space). There were three other competitive level instructors who left last year because of her antics; I am the only one who stayed. But now it's time.

Wish me luck. FX she doesn't lose her marbles!

    That is great!  I have a friend who recently opened her own dance studio and she loves it.  I'm sure you will too!  So does this mean more BeeMused merchandise is on its way?? 
    Yes! Starting in June, I have a whole bunch of projects that I set aside that I plan to work on. I am so excited!

    That's awesome! I totally get the idea of working hard for a vision you believe in. My father started his own landscape architecture firm for that same reason. While being the kid of a small business owner can be tough sometimes, it's also an amazing experience. You'll teach Brennon so much about passion, drive, dedication, and perseverance! Congrats and good luck on everything!

    It sounds awesome @peanutmuse! Getting to spend more time with Brennon and pursuing your dream!

    Do you think your boss has any idea that this is coming - that you are unhappy there and/or that you have been thinking of opening your own studio?

    Congrats!! Good luck with the studio! I spent the last 3 months daydreaming about quitting my job. If my SO and I can figure out our finances I hope to make that move this summer.

    @valigrl21 -- She should have an idea that I'm unhappy, since we had a meeting about it last year with her father (who is the owner/president and pays all of the bills). Me, the three girls who left, plus the director and her father. Basically telling him how effing crazy she can be. But sadly, no, I don't think it really registers with her. She thinks that the problems were solved when the other 3 left, blatantly ignoring the fact that I was the one who demanded the meeting.

    And she definitely has no idea I want to start my own studio. Definitely not.

    Good for you. You have goals and fully plan on achieving them. A year to plan out your studio and get all of your ducks (insurance, lease, advertising, etc) in order is a good plan. Best of luck!
