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. Remember, success comes from focusing on what truly matters.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and share it with others who might benefit.

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.

Do it so well that when people see you do it, they will want to come back and see you do it again, and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do."— Walt DisneyTakeaways from This Episode:Treat every client interaction as an opportunity to create a lasting emotional connection.Don't be afraid to experience your own spa as a client to gain a fresh perspective.Open your business to feedback to continuously improve the client experience.Remember that spas aren't just about treatments—they're about offering a memorable, uplifting experience that keeps clients coming back.Closing ThoughtsConnie wraps up by encouraging spa owners to live the client experience firsthand to ensure that their business provides the best service possible.

While it may sound daunting, Connie breaks down actionable strategies that can help beauty professionals increase their revenue quickly.Key Takeaways:Review Your Current ServicesAnalyze your existing services: Are they priced correctly?
