Re: Jennifer Coffey - The Pheonix podcast launch

JMO, but this seems like a scam to reel in people and give them false hopes for their future. If you believe you’ll achieve….then it will happen. Maybe it will help some people feel better, so good for them. However, I won’t be tuning in.

Re: Jennifer Coffey - The Pheonix podcast launch

@San Antonio Gal   100% agreed!  Also, to hire 14 employees right off the bat with not knowing how popular her new studio is going to be seems like a BIG risk to me. I really thought with Jen retiring from Q that she would be teaching majority of the classes.

 

It seems like a nice studio with some space, but 14 employees would make me think its almost the size of a gym, but its not even close to that big. She could get by with 1/2 the # of employees, IMHO. Oh well. goodluck to her and hope it all works out.

@QVCTVSpree   I agree, it does seem like quite a lot.

 

Perhaps it's like QVC:  They have a large number of hosts, but they work in short-hour shifts, and not every day.  

 

It may be that each of Jennifer's yoga teachers work no more than 2 or 3 hours a week, or something similar.

Maybe she hired instructors as consultants. They may get paid directly by the clients & pay her a fee to use her space. When I worked in the corporate world, outside instructors used our gym for yoga, dance etc & were paid directly by the participants. The company didn’t charge for use of the space but being a private business, she might have an arrangement. Employing 14 people without knowing the success of the business would be a big overhead & not a good business decision, imho.

@Stray   That sounds more like it like it.  There are many hair salon businesses set up exactly like that.

Not interested in listening to her podcast at all.  I have my own resources of infomation who I trust.  To me its a waste of time. I can manifest on my own; been doing it my whole life.

@Caaareful Shopper - true it was like that in NJ but now it's illegal.   They have a sign up in my nail salon saying chair rental is illegal, I guess for people who come in & ask if they can rent a space.

@Stray   I thought it was only illegal if the stylist does not have a specific chair or booth rental license.  So many people who "do hair" tried to rent a booth to make money.  So authorities cracked down and make that illegal.  But if they have a chair rental license it's still OK.

Renting out space to 14 different yoga instructors sounds like a nightmare @Caaareful Shopper .  I read this is not a huge studio.  Can you imagine trying to coordinate the different time slots for 14 different instructors?
