Adjust Your Money Mindset to Grow Your Salon

When you were growing up, did you ever hear the phrases:

“Money is the root of all evil” 

“Money won’t buy you happiness”

Well, did you know- that despite the good intent behind these phrases- these could have actually caused you more harm (in the long run) than you realise?

As a Salon Owner, who I’ll assume wishes to be as successful as possible,

one of the biggest things you’ll want to learn about is your Money mindset. 

Whether your goal is to earn a million dollars a year,  a hundred thousand dollars a year, or 50 thousand dollars… your pre-existing, intrinsically programmed money mindset could actually be stopping you from reaching your goal. 

A negative or limiting mindset around money may not even be something you realise you have. 

For a lot of us, it started when we were children… think of the phrase ‘filthy rich’ for example. It’s something that has been brewing over the years- and you may not even know it. 

That’s why today, I’ve invited Mindset Coach Rhi Thistlethwaite to join me on the Podcast.

Rhi is going to share how you can adjust your money mindset, and why doing so will be so fundamental to your Salon’s success.

Let’s dive in!

How to be the Best Boss Through a Global Pandemic

Do you find it difficult to keep your team engaged and motivated whilst facing covid restrictions?

Whether you’re in lockdown, or working at limited capacity, I know this has been a super hot topic… especially for those in New Zealand or Australia, as this side of the world is now facing the ongoing consequences of a covid resurgence.

There’s certainly a fine line. As the leader of your Salon, you want to keep your team as motivated and accountable as you can, for the sake of both them and your business! But you also want to be a #bestboss; someone who shows they care, and empathises with the different journey of each team member.

And as with any fine line, this one is a tricky tightrope to balance. Luckily, today I’m chatting with someone who has found the perfect balance.

Stevie English, from Stevie English hair in Sydney, is a living example of what it looks like to lead a team to success through the ongoing effects of Covid 19. 

In this episode, Stevie will share his story of successfully engaging his team of twelve plus during the 2 months of lockdown that Sydney has already faced, and why he continues to have a positive attitude going forward.

Listen in now to glean all of Stevie’s best advice… that I know will inspire you in more ways than one.
