Recently I was asked to contribute to an article for the Madison, Wisconsin business community.  Today I’m going to share the two questions I answered that you may want to know, if you’d like to own a business in the future. The first question I’m going to answer is, “what do you love about being a business owner”? And the second question, which in my opinion is even more important, “what advice do you have for others pursuing a dream of opening their own business”?  Though my input is short in today’s episode, I believe you’ll find value in my input, and will leave inspired to begin the process of building your own business!

I really believe that Independent Contractors have got a good grasp on this. However, my salon followers need to take a look at what their competition is up to, because they are missing out on an opportunity to build a community of followers which will lead to loyal relationships and eventually new clients walking through your doors.  Today I will share three ways to increase your Instagram Followers!

Haha! I’m excited to share the two biggest reasons that children make the best salespeople. I don’t want to reveal too much here, so you have to take less than ten minutes and listen in. Regardless of your profession or industry, we could all learn a thing or two from kids.

In an industry with thousands of distractions, we can become easily fogged by the new shiny pennies for sale. Sometimes what we need is a swift kick in the rear! What we need is to go back to the basics. In today’s conversation we’ll discuss the 3 R’s that every salon should focus on in order to achieve substantial success. Because after all, we believe the key to substantial success lies beyond the technique.

Have you attended a conference yet this year? Have you taken the time to really reflect on what you learned? I really wanted to share my personal lessons from this event because sometimes life moves so fast that the notes we take today are long forgotten by tomorrow. By sharing with others what we learn, we stamp those lessons deep in our reticular activing system. And lo and behold, when we need to retrieve that data in the future, it will be there waiting for us.
