Podcast Episode Notes: Focus on What You Can ControlEpisode Title: Focus on What You Can ControlPodcast: Outside the Treatment RoomHost: Connie HolmEpisode OverviewFeeling overwhelmed by things outside your control? Whether it's client cancellations, social media algorithms, or personal challenges, it's easy to get stuck in frustration. In this episode, we're shifting our focus to what we can control—and letting go of what we can't. Tune in to learn how to redirect your energy and regain control over your business and mindset.Key TakeawaysThe Power of Letting GoWorrying about things outside your control drains your energy and keeps you stuck.The most successful people focus on what they can influence, not external factors.What You Can Control in Your BusinessYour Actions – Instead of stressing over slow business, take proactive steps like running promotions or learning a new skill.Your Mindset – Shift negative thoughts into opportunities (e.g., unexpected free time can be used productively).Your Boundaries – Set limits on your availability and energy; you don't have to be available 24/7.Your Effort – Success isn't about working longer hours but about consistent, focused effort.Practical Strategies for Staying FocusedCreate a ‘Control List' – Divide a page into “Things I Can't Control” vs. “Things I Can Control” and focus only on the latter.Use the ‘Pause and Redirect' Method – When you catch yourself worrying, ask: “What's one action I can take right now?”Set Boundaries with Negativity – Avoid doom-scrolling, gossip, and energy-draining distractions.Create a Vision Board – Visualize your goals with simple notes or images to stay motivated.Why This Topic MattersWith all the uncertainty in the world, it's easy to feel out of control. I've personally struggled with long to-do lists, frustration over others' actions, and the mental weight of uncertainty. But by focusing on what I can control, I've found clarity and peace—and I want to help you do the same.A Thought to Leave You With“You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.” – Jon Kabat-ZinnConnect & SubscribeIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

Episode Notes: How to Use AI to Create Social Media PostsIntroductionWelcome to Outside the Treatment Room, the podcast about the business side of the beauty industry. I'm your host, Connie Holm.Today's topic can save you hours every month and, when used efficiently, even hours every week: How to use AI to create engaging and effective social media posts for your business.What is AI?AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. It's more common than you might think, existing in forms like:Self-driving carsVoice assistants like Siri and AlexaCustomer service chatbotsPersonalized playlistsMedical diagnosticsIs AI perfect? No, but neither are we. I use AI daily in my business, and it has saved me time and money. AI can help improve your social media creation and content strategy.If social media content creation feels overwhelming or time-consuming, you're not alone. AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot make the process faster, easier, and more creative. By using AI, you can grow your esthetics business while saving time to find balance in your life. Segment 1: Why Use AI for Social Media?AI clears bottlenecks by automating time-consuming tasks.Here's why it's a game-changer:Saves Time: AI can generate high-quality drafts in seconds.Boosts Creativity: Helps overcome writer's block with fresh ideas and perspectives. For example, I asked AI to help draft this podcast episode. It gave me a great starting point that I could personalize.Customizable: Tailor prompts to your brand voice and target audience. The more you use AI, the better it understands your tone.Cost-Effective: Think of it as a personal assistant available 24/7 without the ongoing expense. Segment 2: Setting Up for SuccessTo get the most out of AI, set yourself up for success:Define Your Brand Voice: Decide if your tone is professional, friendly, playful, or something else.Know Your Audience: Understand their pain points, interests, and preferred content.Set Clear Goals: Whether you aim to educate, entertain, or promote, clear objectives lead to better prompts.AI learns from your inputs over time, so be consistent in your instructions to make it reflect your brand accurately. Segment 3: Crafting Prompts for AIThe magic of AI lies in the prompts. Here are examples you can use:General Post Ideas: “Give me 5 social media post ideas for an esthetics spa that offers laser treatments and permanent jewelry services.”Captions: “Write a playful Instagram caption for a client's glowing skin after a facial.”Promotions: “Create a post announcing a holiday discount on spa packages with a festive tone.”Educational Content: “Explain the benefits of laser hair removal in a simple, engaging way.”Engagement Questions: “Suggest a fun poll question related to self-care for Instagram Stories.”Increase Reviews: “Suggest a way to ask clients to leave a Google review.”Example: I used AI to address a problem with appointment rescheduling requests. I asked it to draft a polite email directing clients to my online booking system. AI created the email, then I asked it to reformat it as a Facebook/Instagram ad and suggest an image. The result was effective and stress-free. Segment 4: Tips for Editing and PersonalizationWhile AI drafts great content, personalization is key:Customize the Language: Make sure it aligns with your brand voice and includes your unique mannerisms.Add Specific Details: Mention your spa's name, location, and special details.Use Emojis and Formatting: Add line breaks, emojis, and hashtags to enhance visual appeal.Review for Accuracy: Double-check for factual accuracy and ensure it reflects your offerings. Segment 5: Addressing Concerns About AIFear of Losing Authenticity: AI is a tool, not a replacement for your unique voice. Use it as a starting point and add your personal touch.Learning Curve: Practice makes perfect. Experiment with prompts to find what works best for you.Staying on Brand: Regularly review content to ensure it's consistent with your brand identity. Closing ThoughtsAI is like having a brainstorming partner available 24/7. It streamlines social media content creation, saving time, reducing stress, and helping you stay consistent.If you found this episode helpful, I'd love to hear from you! Share your thoughts or questions by tagging me on Instagram and Facebook at @RoseGoldLearning.Thanks for tuning in. Have an amazing week! Today's Quote“AI takes the guesswork out of social media marketing for small business owners, turning what used to be hours of effort into just minutes of creativity and strategy.”Created by AI itself for an AI-themed podcast!  Thank you for tuning into this episode of the Outside the Treatment Room podcast!

Podcast Episode NotesWelcome to Outside the Treatment RoomThe podcast about the business side of the beauty industry. I'm your host, Connie Holm.Episode Title: Are You Earning Less Than Minimum Wage? IntroductionWelcome back to Outside the Treatment Room! Today we're tackling a tough topic that might make you a little uncomfortable: Are you unknowingly earning less than minimum wage?In this episode, I'll break down the numbers, explain why this happens, and give you actionable tips to shift from working hard to working smart. So grab a coffee, let's get real, and let's talk money!Many solo estheticians feel like they're earning great money because they're booked solid and bringing in cash. But after expenses, rent, taxes, and time spent on unpaid tasks, the reality can be shocking.Example: If you charge $100 for a facial, but products, rent, and insurance eat into your profits, your real income per hour could be closer to minimum wage (or even less!).Reflection Question: When's the last time you calculated your real hourly rate?If you haven't, don't worry—we're going to do the math together.Here's how to calculate your hourly rate:Gross Income: Total monthly earnings (e.g., $4,000).Expenses: Subtract rent, products, insurance, taxes, and supplies (e.g., $2,000).Net Income: What's left ($4,000 - $2,000 = $2,000).Divide by Hours Worked: If you worked 160 hours, that's $2,000 / 160 = $12.50/hour.This number has to cover everything: sick days, health benefits, and retirement. If your hourly rate surprises you, don't worry—I'm here to help you fix it.Undercharging for Services: If you haven't raised prices in years, rising costs (like inflation) mean you're earning less. Example: Gloves that once cost $6 now cost $22—you must pass these increases on to clients.Too Much Discounting: Promotions are great occasionally, but constant discounts devalue your work.Hidden Expenses: Fancy packaging, unused software, or premium products can drain profits.Unpaid Time: You're also your own receptionist, marketer, and cleaner. Those hours count!Does any of this sound familiar? If so, let's focus on solutions.Here are 5 actionable steps to increase your income:Raise Your Prices: If it's been more than a year, start small with $5-$10 per service. Your expertise has value, and clients expect increases.Streamline Services: Focus on high-profit treatments that take less time and product. Stop offering unprofitable services.Track Expenses: Audit your expenses. Cancel unused subscriptions, buy in bulk, and optimize your budget. (Example: I use Zoom Premium only for my September laser events and cancel it for the rest of the year.)Charge for Your Time: Enforce no-show fees, cancellation policies, and charge appropriately for consultations.Set Income Goals: Break your monthly income target into weekly and daily benchmarks. Know how many services you need to hit your goals.Here's your homework:Sit down this week and calculate your real hourly rate.If you don't like the number, use today's tips as your starting point for change.Key Takeaway: You didn't start your business to struggle. You deserve to thrive and be paid well for the transformation you bring to your clients. You have the power to make that happen.Today's Quote: “You must gain control over your money, or the lack of it will forever control you.” —Dave RamseyWhy This Matters: I recently saw a Facebook post where many beauty professionals admitted to earning less than minimum wage—even though their businesses looked successful. My goal is to give you the tools to take control of your income and move closer to financial freedom. Enjoyed This Episode?Share it with a fellow esthetician who needs to hear this.Subscribe, leave a review, and stay tuned for upcoming courses in 2025 to help you grow your beauty business.Thank you for joining me today on Outside the Treatment Room!

How to Prioritize Your TimeWelcome to Outside the Treatment Room, the podcast that explores the business side of the beauty industry! I'm your host, Connie Holm. Today, we're tackling a topic every business owner faces: prioritizing your tasks. With a long to-do list, it's easy to get overwhelmed, but knowing what's most important can make all the difference.Episode HighlightsUnderstanding the Importance of GoalsEvery task has a purpose. By focusing on clear business goals—whether it's growing your client base, increasing revenue, or planning a sale—you can identify the tasks that truly drive your success. My current priority? Prepping for Black Friday, my spa's biggest sale event of the year!Tools and Techniques for PrioritizationThere are several methods to help prioritize, including:The Eisenhower Matrix: Helps categorize tasks by urgency and importance.Visual Aids: Tools like Notion, sticky notes, or a simple notebook to track and cross off tasks.The “One Thing” Rule: Focus on completing one impactful task at a time to gain momentum.Time Blocking and Task BatchingSetting aside specific time blocks for focused work (like creating content or administrative tasks) and grouping similar tasks together can maximize productivity. For instance, I dedicate time blocks to prepare all social media posts for the week and focus solely on my Black Friday marketing during specific hours.Delegation and OutsourcingDon't be afraid to get help! Delegating tasks that don't require your expertise, such as hiring a virtual assistant or getting help with storage organization, can free up mental space and reduce stress. Outsourcing can be a game-changer for both personal and business tasks.Review and AdaptPriorities shift as new challenges and opportunities arise. At the start or end of each week, take time to review your list, update it based on your current goals, and stay flexible. Adapting ensures you stay on track and keep your stress levels in check.Quote of the Episode"Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important." — Stephen CoveyThank you for tuning into Outside the Treatment Room! I hope today's tips on prioritizing tasks will help you manage your time more effectively.

Episode Title:Breaking Out of Your Shell: Growing Your Beauty Business as a Shy EntrepreneurHost:Connie HolmPodcast:Outside the Treatment Room "Welcome to today's episode of Outside the Treatment Room, where we talk about the business side of the beauty industry. I'm your host, Connie Holm. If you're a shy entrepreneur and feel like your personality might be holding you back from growing your beauty business, this episode is for you!""Today, we're going to discuss how being shy doesn't have to stop you from building a thriving business. I'll be sharing strategies to help you push through your comfort zone, boost your confidence, and connect with clients in a way that feels genuine to you. I'm more of an extrovert, but I've worked with many introverted business owners, and I want to understand how shyness affects their journey."Segment 1: Embracing Your Shyness as a Strength "Let's start by addressing the idea that being shy is a weakness. It's not. Shy people often have strong listening skills, empathy, and the ability to build deep connections. These qualities can make you a fantastic beauty professional.""Clients value trust, and you don't have to be the most outgoing person to build that. Sincerity, attentiveness, and understanding are enough to earn your clients' trust.""Rather than trying to change your personality, lean into your natural qualities and offer a personalized, caring approach."Segment 2: Overcoming Shyness in Business Situations "Now, while it's important to embrace who you are, there will be situations where stepping out of your comfort zone is necessary for growth. Here are some practical strategies to help you overcome shyness."Practice Makes Progress"Start small by practicing conversations with friends or family. Pick a service and product you're confident talking about, and rehearse your pitch. As you gain experience, your confidence will grow.""Even though I'm more extroverted, I still get nervous at networking events. But stepping out of your comfort zone gets easier with time."Preparation is Key"Preparation can ease your nerves. For consultations or appointments, have a script or key points ready. Knowing what you want to say can help you feel more in control.""Before attending networking events, I prepared a short intro about myself and my business. Though it wasn't easy, it made things much more manageable."Set Goals to Push Boundaries"Set small goals like introducing yourself at a networking event or asking for client reviews. These small victories build confidence."Develop a Signature Service"Having a signature service can help you stand out. Whether it's laser treatments or permanent jewelry, let your work speak for itself. Your expertise will naturally attract clients."Segment 3: Marketing for the Shy Entrepreneur "Marketing can be challenging for shy entrepreneurs, especially when it involves putting yourself out there. But there are ways to market your business that don't require being the face of it."Focus on Visual Marketing"Let your results shine! Post before-and-after photos, share testimonials, or create videos of your treatments. You don't have to be in front of the camera—let your work speak for you."Leverage Online Communities"Join online groups like Facebook communities for beauty professionals. You can engage and offer advice without the pressure of public appearances."Email Marketing & Direct Communication"Email marketing allows you to connect with clients without public interactions. Send updates, offers, and personalized messages directly to their inbox."Quote of the Day "Today's quote is from Amy Schumer: 'So if you're an introvert like me, especially a female introvert, or a person who is expected to give away your energy to everyone else on the reg, I want to encourage you to find time to be alone. Don't be afraid to excuse yourself. Recharge for as long as you need. Lean up against a tree and take a break from the other bears. I'll be there too, but I promise not to bother you.'"Closing Thoughts "To wrap things up, your personality doesn't define your success. Shyness isn't a barrier to running a successful beauty business. With the right strategies, you can build a brand that clients love and trust.""Thank you for tuning into Outside the Treatment Room.

Feeling overwhelmed by salon contracts? Don't risk your business! Join us as lawyer Kelli Jones breaks down everything salon owners & hairstylists NEED to know about crafting ironclad contracts.  Learn key terms, avoid hidden pitfalls, and discover strategies to maximize profits & protect your business.  Listen now & gain the legal edge for your beauty business! Our FREE template to creating a giveaway for your business. Maximize your marketing efforts with our Marketing Course! Key Take-aways: 1. There are different contacts for your business in different states. 2. You can put anything in a contract, but it doesn't mean it can be enforced in your state. 3. Don't charge for things that are unreasonable, for instance the full service price. 4. Make sure your policy is clear, written and easily found on your website. 5. If a client is booking online and checks a box to agree to the policy, it's in written form and easier to enforce the charge. 6. If you don't have clarity on how charges work, when and what the stipulation is, it will be harder to legally hold the charge against the client. 7. Usually what can legally be held against you as a service provider is what you don't include, not what you do include. 8. Be careful when asking to hold credit card information, you need to get authorization to charge their card. 9. As far as holding a non-compete for an employee, it is meant to protect both parties. It's a red flag if a salon has you sign a non-compete if you are a 1099. 10. A non-compete shouldn't prohibit an employee from being able to work if they left. 11. As an employee, consider negotiating the terms of the contract before finalizing. 12. As a freelancer when signing a contract with a brand, if asked for a non-compete for a longer duration, negotiate either a higher rate or for a shorter timeframe. Keep in mind, the brand's contract doesn't typically work favorably for the artist. 13. Look for words like perpetuity because the intellectual property can belong to the brand if you don't negotiate it down. 14. Make sure you license it to them rather than them taking ownership of it. 15. Once you publish something online, you hold the copy-write to it. You need to give permission to someone else using your content, it could be copy write infringement. 16. It's easier to escalate as necessary rather than deescalate a situation. 17. Try reaching out to the brand directly first before reporting, this is where you can negotiate a paid relationship with them. 18. If you feel nervous about signing a contract, think of it as a way to protect both parties and to prevent miscommunication.

You walk down the street and there's barbershop after barbershop- with at least 10 or more barbers in there. Every single barbershop is busy-& everyone has their own clientele, everyone is booked and clientele continues to come in and out. Nobody is worried who's busier than who, sometimes clients jump from barber to barber because they want a specific time, maybe they didn't vibe with you (and to be honest.. who wants to sit in a chair and not vibe), maybe you're not a bad barber and you just don't know how to cut their texture hair- it's not worth belittling yourself as to why someone stopped coming to you. Worry about the clientele you do have and let the others go! Do you think INNOUT is worried what a McDonalds across the street is doing? some people prefer convenience over quality- and that's ok! some prefer McDonalds over InNout& THAT'S OK! remember that its not you, and even if it was you .. Who cares!!! if its meant to be they will come back to you. Repeat after me: I am an amazing ________.(enter profession) I am talented. I am unique. I am one of a kind! -in this podcast we talk a bit of "competition", how to balance work and life and how we came up with with Hot stuff esthetics, Vicious hair 13, and Studio 13 Salon.

I'm Lexi Lomax, and I'm thrilled to guide you into this promising new year. It's January 1, 2024 – a Monday like no other, offering the most significant fresh start we'll see for years. So, grab your coziest jammies and a pen and paper, because we're about to dive into something special. Whether you're walking, cleaning, or just taking a moment for yourself, I want you to think about what lies ahead. Today's episode is all about setting a foundation for your big dreams and turning those dreams into tangible goals. Let's embark on this journey together and make 2024 a year of incredible growth and success in our beauty businesses. As we close the chapter on 2023, we're gifted with something extraordinary – a whole year of data to reflect on. It's time to look back, not with emotion, but with a clear, analytical eye. Think of it as 'facts over feelings.' This year, let's identify what worked well in our businesses and what didn't. We'll explore the strategies that moved the needle for us and those that fell short. It's about being brutally honest with ourselves, recognizing our blind spots, and deciding to leave certain habits behind. This is your chance to realign, reassess, and redefine your goals for a more successful year ahead. I'm also excited to remind you that the Next 90 Masterclass is still free and making waves in the beauty industry. If you're ready to confront the truth about your business, figure out your next moves, and build a robust foundation for the year, this masterclass is for you. It's been transforming how beauty professionals like you show up in your business, offering insights that could change everything. Remember, it's all about what you want more or less of, the clients that resonate with you, and the services that align with your goals. So, make sure to check out the masterclass – it's just a click away in the link above or on my Instagram. Lastly, for those looking to take their business to the next level, I highly recommend Salon Quarterly. This system has been pivotal in evolving my business and has proven effective for salons of all sizes. It's about making more money, streamlining your operations, and achieving a balance that suits your lifestyle, whether you're behind the chair or managing from a distance. So, as we embrace the energy of 2024, let's use this fresh start to our advantage. I'm here to support you every step of the way, and I can't wait to see where this year takes us.
