88: Strategies for Sustainable Success
In today’s episode of the 10 Minute Beauty Business Podcast, I dive deep into the often-overlooked needs of salon suite owners and share an exciting new launch that's been buzzing in my mind and now, finally, ready to share with you! If you've ever felt the pinch of not being fully supported or struggled with making your beauty business profitable, this episode is a must-listen. I’m unpacking the myths and offering a fresh perspective on what it really takes to thrive in the beauty industry today.
I've been having some eye-opening chats behind the scenes, especially about the future of salon suites. Many suite owners feel unsupported and unsure about profitability, sparking intense discussions on the sustainability of this business model. We explore who really benefits from operating in a suite and how to leverage similar business strategies for your own growth. It’s about drawing lessons from others and applying them innovatively within your own walls.
On top of these insights, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of "Supported Salon Owner," a new initiative designed to provide the exact level of coaching and support you've been asking for—without the long-term commitment fears. This program allows you to engage with me for as short as three months or as long as forever! It’s tailored to fit your needs and help escalate your business while respecting your personal and professional boundaries.
Lastly, I get personal about the systems and strategies that have transformed my own salon into a well-oiled machine, allowing me to plan a significant maternity leave without fear. We'll discuss the power of becoming the 'least important person' in your business, embracing accountability, and the necessity of having a flexible plan. This episode is packed with actionable advice that can dramatically shift how you operate and succeed in the beauty industry.

87: Balance in your salon biz through delegation
In today’s episode of the 10 Minute Beauty Business Podcast, we're diving deep into the world of salon ownership and how to juggle the many hats you wear – from business strategist to beauty expert, and just being human. It's all about mastering the art of delegation, a skill that can truly transform your business and personal life. Because let's face it, even superheroes need a team!
Delegating isn't just about handing off tasks; it's about empowering your team and freeing up your time to focus on what only YOU can do. I've learned firsthand that trying to do everything alone can wear you down. Now, I'm all about finding shortcuts and smart strategies. Imagine having someone handle your inventory just one day a week. That’s two extra hours you could be spending with clients or even taking some well-deserved 'me' time. It’s about making your business work for you, not the other way around.
We also touched on setting boundaries to prevent burnout. It’s crucial to recognize that you can't do it all at once. Setting priorities and learning to say 'no' can actually help you say 'yes' to what truly matters—your goals, your peace, and your sanity. This shift in mindset is not just beneficial, it’s necessary for sustainable success. Remember, every yes comes with a cost, and it’s okay to be selective.
Finally, if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, reach out. Whether it’s through mentorship, team collaboration, or even joining local meetups like the cool salon owner gatherings in Grand Rapids, support is key. Don’t try to go it alone. Embrace systems and structures that allow you to thrive creatively within your business without burning out.
To all my fellow salon owners out there, remember: your journey is unique, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
