The $50K on the Shelf
Your bank account is nearly empty. Your revenue looked solid. Your team showed up. It doesn’t compute. But here’s what I know: the money isn’t gone. It’s in your salon right now. It’s just in the wrong place.
In this episode, I’m walking you through where hidden cash lives in your salon, why knowing one specific number changes everything about how you manage your business, and the framework that tells you exactly how much stock should actually be on your shelf – and what to do when it’s too much.
Most salon owners have no idea how much money is sitting on their shelf right now. And that gap – between where your cash is and where it should be – is the cash you can move back into your bank account.
Key Topics Covered:
- The specific moment you realize the money isn’t gone, it’s just stuck
- Why one salon owner had $50,000 on the shelf instead of in her bank account
- The “magic margins” framework and why stock is one of them
- The rule: your total stock on hand should represent 1–3% of your annual revenue
- Why your team isn’t selling the product they “love using”
- How to give your team a clear boundary on stock without drama
- The handbag story: what happens when you find $30,000 of cash you didn’t know you had
- Why the CEO Dashboard catches cash problems before they become crises
- One move: find your number this week
