When we think of Chris Nedza, chances are we think of ZeeZor and the data that drives our salon business. But today we’re shifting gears to talk about the deeper aspects of persevering in salon business and life. And that is joy. If we have joy—we can overcome any obstacle, and we can impact our team and guests positively. Think of a time when you were filled with joy for no reason. Why was that? Chris is going to share his faith in Jesus Christ and the three questions he asks himself anytime he needs to make a big decision for his company. Be encouraged today—this message has eternal meaning!

Recently, I released my book, Build Your Best Team This Year, because recruiting the best people for your salon is one of our top three responsibilities as salon owners.  A portion of the book I share why we must be tenaciously recruiting. We have to be employing the same strategies in growing our team as we do in growing our clientele. One of those strategies is building face-to-face relationships in our community—specifically our beauty schools. Today I will share my top tips for recruiting beauty school students.
