We know, we know... sometimes we just don't have what it takes to hold a conversation... but think for a second... If you treat your business like a BUSINESS sales are an intrical part of the growth. Sales are 100% what will grow your business and sales go beyond doing a good service. It's about getting people in the door first, thennnnnnn wowing them, thennnnnnn rebooking them while they leave with all the home care you suggested! You've got this, your business is worth it, your future clients are worth it, and let's be honest, you deserve to make MORE than just a living wage.xoxo@masteringcurls@making_it_awesomeStylist In Real Life #StylistIRLStylists' Guide to Finances #makingitawesomeSupport the show (http://www.makingitawesome.com)

Are you hoping to build a clientele, become insta-famous, have a decent pull with your followers so you get sponsored?If you're looking to build a clientele, maybe 1000 followers is better than 10,000!

Do you ever wonder WHY you’re not getting where you want to be in business? Think back on going to hair school… what did they teach you there about business? I know for me, all I learned was “It will take you 5-years to actually make any money in this industry.” that’s it… that is all I was given. THERE WAS NO, MONEY TALK, NO EXPLANATION OF EXPENSES, NO MARKETING IDEAS, NOTHING.We are changing that, by talking about some of the most important CORE business systems to understanding how to financially and emotionally thrive in YOUR business.WORK YOUR BUSINESS, DON’T LET YOUR BUSINESS WORK YOU. Join our Free Group Here AND JOIN OUR JANUARY 2020 MASTERMIND TODAY!1UNDERSTANDING YOUR PROFIT + LOSS STATEMENT Believe it or not, this is the #1 most important part of your business. The beauty industry is REAL BUSINESS, it’s time we start treating it like it’s real business. Don’t worry if you don’t have one, in this course you will learn how to build one, read one, and use it for your benefit.2MY SERVICES COST WHAT?The second most important part of your business is knowing exactly how much it costs for you or your staff to perform services. If you don’t know what it costs down to the foil and lightbulbs, you’re probably not pricing your services correctly.3PRICING YOUR SERVICES FOR A PROFITRemember those #1 and #2 up there? Once we understand what it costs us to do business down to the toilet paper, we will then know how much we need to charge our guests for a profit. And I’m not talking a profit on being 100% booked, I’m talking the average 60% booked.4HOW TO RAISE YOUR PRICES We all want a raise, that goes for you the business owner to your front desk to your providers. Everyone wants one, and everyone deserves to have the chance to make serious money in this industry! There’s a formula for raising your prices, trust us… You will make more working less leaving room for more $$$… hey six-figure stylist… I’m talking to you!5HOW TO REINVEST INTO YOUR BUSINESS There’s a difference between profit and your paycheck. Reinvesting into your business from education, to decor, to expansion… the sky is the limit once you figure out what goes where. I’m sure your staff would love to have benefits, you would love a vacation… You’ve got this!Get Your Workbook HereWant more? Starting January 13th, we are starting our Mastermind Group where we spend 6 weeks diving into the 5-Core Business Skills! Sometimes we need to be part of a group to be held accountable, or we need a hand to hold to make sure we are moving forward… we get it, running a business is exhausting and sometimes we just want to throw our hands up and give up, that’s when we need a partner to help us through, one that cares about your success. We host a Mastermind each month to fast track our learning with live zoom calls, group discussions, vent sessions, and a whole lot of learning!

Running a business is something else, let me tell you...Ten things I have learned about having employees. 1- Your employees will drain the life out of you... (until you find the right ones!)2- Establish Boundaries!3- Red flags? No seriously it's a red flag!! No it's not yellow, not orange, it's freaking RED!4- You will seriously start asking yourself why you thought owning a business was a good idea. 5- Respect your employees because they are your lifeline 6- I'm far from perfect7- Sometimes firing someone is better than letting them quit8- I didn't do that THREE TIMES and I regret it EVERY time... when will I learn?9- Trust the process10- Know when it's time to stop.If you have a bustling business but you can't seem to get a grip on how to fix what's wrong there are tons of resources out there that can help!

"When your emotions are high your intelligence is low"Learning how to separate the facts from your story is a pretty awesome life skill. It will help you not only make it through super difficult conversations in your lifetime, but quite possibly can help strengthen your relationships you have with your co-workers, your boss, your significant other, and.... yourself!If you want to work through a Fact vs. Story scenario you're dealing with, reach out!
