Thriving Stylist Podcast

Have you ever seen a blue badge beside someone's handle on Instagram? You most likely have, but when you do, do you automatically think all those are famous people, or are people with massive followings? That is actually not how it works on the platform. In this episode, I talk about the changes that are potentially coming to the Meta family and how this is going to affect businesses, creators, influencers and social media platforms in general.  There are repercussions that exist when you choose that little blue checkmark, if you go that route, and as always, I want you to keep you informed on how these topics can impact you and your business!  If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question.

Last week on the podcast, I talked about all the different pricing structures that exist in the industry and how to know what’s best for you, and I want to continue the discussion. Today, I share about an emerging fourth pricing structure (which I am not a fan of, and you’ll hear why!), because I believe it needs to be talked about and a lot of people just aren’t discussing it.  Even though our industry is not easy to survive in and the turnover rate is high, you’re going to keep getting even stiffer competition, no matter how you slice it. Having clear messaging is so critical, and in this episode, I reveal how you can build your worth and perceived value as you navigate these market shifts in order to really stand out in the crowd!     If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question.

I’m excited this week to answer a question from one of my listeners, Kendra. She asked about my take on different pricing structures, as she’s seen a lot of stylists in the industry move towards hourly pricing. She’s wondering if hourly pricing is the future of the industry, and in this episode, I look at the pros and cons of this pricing structure, as well as other ones that are being used by stylists today.  When it comes to pricing, I believe that making an informed decision is the best advice I can give you, because there are successful stylists running all of these methods. The most important thing is to find the one that’s best for you.  If you want to take a sneak peek at my pricing calculator and the way that I coach to pricing, you’ll want to join us in Thrivers Society, and you can learn more now at https://thrivingstylist.com/thriverssociety.  If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and r

Today’s topic is one that I’ve never covered on the podcast before, and that is how to find your North Star, and what the heck does that even mean? This episode was inspired by a question from a new Thriver who is trying her best to go through the modules as quickly as possible and do the work, but is looking for more guidance on her North Star, which is what I want to provide her (and you) today.  Remember, when you’re asking how to create a North Star, the reason why you’re struggling is because you’re likely doing it right. This concept and process is deep, and I hope what I share in this episode gives you guidance on your own journey to find your North Star!  If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question.

Today I’m continuing our series focusing on my Hairstylist’s Marketing Funnel, and I’m specifically talking about the desire level and how to truly create desire for what you offer.

Today, I’m doing something that I’ve never done on the podcast before and I’m kicking off a 4-part series centered around my Hairstylist’s Marketing Funnel.
