For today’s show we’re bringing back an episode that some of you may see as an oldie  but a goodie! Early in the Fall of 2020 I was given the incredible opportunity to work with the Modern Salon team and Kati Whitledge to co-create an interview about what the industry has experienced going through in 2020. We talked about the permanent and temporary shifts we’ve seen because of the pandemic, and what we think are the best way to prepare for an uncertain future as we see second, and even third waves of closures. I’m especially excited because Kati is a salon owner who really knows what it’s like to go through shutdowns and how to navigate these times. I think this conversation will be inspiring, enlightening and insightful, even if you have heard it before!

The word “scalability” is something that not all stylists or salon owners may know, but it absolutely is something you need to be aware of. So today I want to share more about scalability, and what it can look like for any stylist or salon owner that truly wants it. I will also be identifying some of the key indicators of what it takes to have a scalable business using the resources that we have available. Together we will go through a quiz to identify where you are on your journey to scalability and freedom in your business, so grab your pens (and ear buds) and let’s go!

If you’ve been with me for a while now, you’ll know that I’ve been hosting a goal setting workshop since 2015. I’ll be the first to admit though that I am also a self-professed “goal hater” who thinks they can be discouraging. This has led me to creating my own methodology around goal setting, and in this episode, I’m diving a bit deeper into this philosophy. I’m going to reveal what you need to know when creating goals that are non-traditional, and how to reflect, plan and work towards an amazing year ahead with gratitude.
