Are you looking for ways to be more successful in business? Do you wish you could achieve more and be more productive and adaptable in your work life? Then this week's podcast episode is for you. Whether you are a franchisor, franchisee, entrepreneur, or employee, tune in to hear powerful secrets to success in business with Gordon Logan, Chairman and Founder of Sport Clips. In the early 1990s, Gordon Logan recognized the huge potential, and relative lack of competition, in the men's and boys' haircut market. He wanted to create a place where guys could take care of one of life's necessities – a haircut – and say “This is my kind of place; I feel comfortable here” when they walked in the door. Assembling a group of passionate industry professionals, Gordon and his team worked together to develop the unique Sport Clips Haircuts concept we know today. While the Sport Clips logo and store design have changed since the first location opened in Austin, Texas in 1993, Gordon's goal, and Sport Clips' mission - to provide a “championship haircut experience in an exciting sports environment” - remains the same. Prior to founding Sport Clips, Gordon served as an Aircraft Commander in the U.S. Air Force, after which he worked as a financial planning and control consultant with Price Waterhouse & Co. in Houston, Texas. He is a graduate of MIT and The Wharton School of Business, at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a retired CPA in the State of Texas. Gordon later owned and operated salons throughout Texas, an experience which proved to be invaluable in his journey toward creating one of the most successful haircut franchises in the nation. Be sure to take notes as Gordon shares: Why franchisors should understand why they should help franchisees realize their goals and dreams The 3 important types of plans to have in place Why it's common that a lot of startups run out of money before their concept grows to fruition and how to avoid it Why everyone should realize that there are going to be bumps in the road and how to handle them Why plans are worthless but planning is essential How implementing new things in the corporate owned locations first can result in success in franchisee locations Be inspired to be more successful with Gordon's tips - let's get hacking!

What a story we have for you today as we are joined by Kerry Sawyer.  Kerry began her entrepreneurship journey with a goal of leaving the 9-5 and being able to be at home with her daughter.  That lead her and her husband at the time to start a tax company and while they kept their day jobs for a while they were able to eventually make enough to replace their income and work for themselves.  Fast forward a little while and Kerry had developed a professional relationship with Gordon Logan, Founder of Sport Clips and he convinced Kerry to become an Area Developer for the Sport Clips brand.   With incredible amount of success and being in the right place at the right time a Sport Clips franchise owner had to sell 3 locations and Kerry was able to purchase those stores while still working as an Area Developer.  Her ownership grew to 45 locations with Sport Clips and she gained a lifetime of knowledge that Kerry will be able to use for any new venture that comes her way.Unfortunate circumstances lead to the sale of her Sport Clips franchise and again being in the right place at the right time happened when the previous owner of a specific Painting with a Twist franchise was ready to sell and Kerry was ready to buy.Now you might be asking how lucky is Kerry and it is very clear that luck has nothing to do with her success.  She knows how to foster great relationships everywhere she goes.  She knows how to build teams and keep people happy at the various levels of a business and ultimately Kerry knows how to turn around a franchise business into a successful franchise business as she follows the systems and procedures created from the Franchisor.Listen in this week to hear Kerry Sawyer's story that lead her to where she is today!Have you heard the news?  We are officially on YouTube.  Come check out a few videos have have and give me a follow!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwoAdrkPZmveJt5AQRDk8WA---Lance GraulichFranchise Consulting Services from ION FranchisingEye On Franchising

If you are a veteran enrolled in college for this fall semester, you are more than likely knee-deep in classes by now.

As a company grows and evolves it must continually and objectively assess its own effectiveness and make changes. Some may call it “course correction”, others may call it “self-disruption”. Whatever you call it, it is about not being afraid to take risks, do things differently, and trust your instincts. Sport Clips has done just that. This organization embraces change and taking necessary risks has contributed to its success.  Founded by Gordon Logan more than 25 years ago with the first location being in Austin, Texas, the salon chain now boasts more than 1800 locations in the US and Canada. There is no doubt that embracing change comes from the top and that it continues to be one of the most powerful strategies for success. In this episode, Melanie interviews Julie Vargas and Mandy Friendshuh. Julie is an innovative, results-driven leader with over 28 years of experience in the industry. She currently serves as Vice President of Career Opportunities at Sport Clips. Julie has been with the company since the beginning. She is responsible for creating and building strong programs, sourcing, training, and driving brand awareness.  Mandy is Sport Clips’ Director of Technical and Operational Success. She brings with her over ten years of experience in the beauty industry.  These wise women share their thoughts about why they decided to make changes in Sport Clips' educational strategies, what they did to smooth the transition and create buy-in from their team. In this podcast, you will hear their advice about how to embrace change, create a pathway and vision for the team, and how important collaboration is when activating new initiatives. Please welcome Julie and Mandy from Sport Clips

This episode is with Tommy Callahan. With 52 years in the salon industry, Tommy Callahan’s resume is impressive. A long-time vice president of worldwide education for John Paul Mitchell Systems, Callahan has also been an owner of a John Paul Mitchell school in Memphis, Tennessee and even did a stint as an advisor to the photography department of a prominent magazine publication. Callahan is a well-respected thought leader in the haircare industry. Sport Clips Haircuts Founder and CEO Gordon Logan knew that to be the best he needed to consult the best, so he sought out Callahan to advise on the creation of the stylist training systems for his emerging brand. The Sport Clips team worked with Callahan to develop the brand’s signature All Star Haircutting System prior to opening the first Sport Clips in 1993, based on a system that Callahan had developed for full-service salons. This system and its unmatched coaching system both set Sport Clips apart in its industry. In this podcast, Tommy explains how he got connected with Gordon Logan and Sport Clips in the early 90's, and also shares some of the greatest memories from his decades spent in the haircare industry.
