This podcast is a little different as Katie isn't hosting. But is part of this powerful collaboration and partnership that has never been done before, so had to share across the podcast platform.

We see time and time again, salons and clinics invest in machines hoping thats going to fix their business and bring in an influx of new clients.

Unfortunately thats not the case.

We also see people invest in machines and get the most basic of training so don't get the results.

Katie Godfrey, Chelsea from Skin 13 Training academy and The Contour Group come together to solve this problem. Supporting the industry like never before.

Please reach out to Katie on info@kgbusinessmentor.com or drop her a message on Instagram if you would like more info on machines so she can point you in the right direction.

In this raw and powerful episode of The Life of KG, host Katie Godfrey is joined by her close friend and fellow beauty business owner Amy Lewis for one of the most honest conversations to date.

The real reason salon owners consider shutting up shop
Creating a healthy and empowering team culture (and how it starts at the top)
The balance between hiring, firing, and trusting your gut
Legal and emotional boundaries when staff leave and start competing
The shocking and sometimes traumatic experiences they’ve faced, including theft, voodoo dolls, and false rumours

We dive into the untold story of how my mum built Stepping Stones, a CIC-turned-charity that supported hundreds of vulnerable women through childcare, trauma support, and her iconic “Coffee, Cake & Chat” groups. You’ll hear how she started with just a vision, no experience, and a whole lot of purpose.

We explore the incredible parallels between my mum’s community work and the coaching, retreats, and masterminds I run today, without either of us realising how aligned our journeys were.

If you’re a woman in business, a coach, a mum, or someone who’s passionate about purpose, this one will hit you hard, in the best way.

HOW TO RETAIL MORE IN YOUR BUSINESS SHORT COURSE

In this episode, Katie Godfrey discusses the importance of having cancellation and no-show policies in place for businesses. She recommends implementing a 48-hour cancellation policy instead of 24 hours to allow for better scheduling and profitability. Katie also emphasises the need to create urgency in bookings by not showing all available appointments and instead promoting limited last-minute spaces. By doing so, businesses can create a sense of scarcity and encourage clients to book in advance. She advises being strict with policies and not being afraid to let go of clients who do not respect them.

Takeaways

Implementing cancellation and no-show policies can help businesses deal with client cancellations and protect their profitability.
A 48-hour cancellation policy allows businesses more time to fill cancelled appointments and ensures they are still profitable.
Creating urgency in bookings by not showing all available appointments can help businesses maintain a fully booked schedule.
Being strict with policies and not being afraid to let go of clients who do not respect them is important for the success of the business.

Quotes

"Unfortunately, this is the policy because we're guided by that."

"When there is a fee in place, it stops the client from canceling because they don't want to pay a fee."

"Let the clients go that don't appreciate your business and your time and your worth and make room for the clients that do appreciate your time."

How many times have you heard about people leaving their high-paying jobs, to build a business empire that doesn't have much to do with their education or work experience? I'm sure the answer is not many but some people like our guest for today Melody McCloskey have.

From being a product manager to the founder of a successful business StyleSeat, this superwoman is living proof that trusting your abilities can help you achieve wonderful things.

It was a really intimidating process for me but I had to go out there and just do it..

Key takeaways

#1 Transformation in the beauty industry

15 years ago, beauty standards were like the cover of Vogue magazine, if you didn't fit in the skinny white girl type, you didn't fit in at all but now beauty standards are so much more inclusive now which does not only affect us at an individual level but also as professionals in the beauty industry. There is now much more scope to express your natural creativity, therefore, right now is the golden opportunity to join the beauty industry if you are passionate about it.

#2 Effective failure management

Failure sound intimidating to you? As an entrepreneur, it shouldn't. If you want to build a business that lasts, get comfortable with experiencing failures. Accept the situation, adapt, and use it as a valuable learning opportunity.

Timestamps

0:12-4:36

Melody shares how she built her business StyleSeat which empowers beauty professionals by helping them increase revenue through efficiency and client acquisition. She also discusses the financial battles she fought to pursue entrepreneurship.

34:41-37:26

Melody provides valuable social media marketing advice for beauty salon owners who want to establish a strong portfolio and digital presence, and explains how simple things when practised consistently, create a huge impact.

Key Quote

“As an entrepreneur, you need to understand that even when you get successful, you will have to deal with problems, that rollercoaster is a constant, no matter how big you grow.”

The thought of managing two salon businesses along with a training academy sounds intimidating to most people but our guest for today Lisa is not one of them. Let's hear her inspiring story of entrepreneurship, and get to know the business secrets that keep her thriving in the beauty industry.

Timestamps

00.49-6:11

Lisa shares how she got into business after completing her education in hairdressing and beauty along with her exciting school experiences.

16:09-17:20

The two discuss how Lisa's money-spending mindset, which involves very conscious spending and strict financial calculations, impacts her pricing decisions. She also shares how losing her parents created some nervousness while dealing with money.

Key takeaways

#1 Hair and Beauty don't go together very well

Looking for some advice on how to set up a salon business? You can start by ensuring your salon has separate areas for hair and beauty work if you want to incorporate both of these services. This will help create a better atmosphere for your clients since hair salons generally are louder and crazier as compared to salons for beauty treatments that have a calmer atmosphere. Along with offering valuable services, being mindful of client comfort will help you benefit from repeat customers and improve customer satisfaction.

#2 Effective stock management

The struggles of managing stocks effectively can be intense and draining but there are a few things that can help you keep a strict check on your inventory. These include well-formulated policies, strong ethics, and partnering with companies that don't have massive minimal spending. (Tune in to learn more about each of these!)

“If you've got the passion, you will do well!”

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Ali Majed who is a successful beauty content creator. Join us as he shares his inspiring career story, the challenges he faced on his journey, and most importantly how he started his career.

Timestamps

0:17- 4:02

6:08-7:07

Influencer life is not always as glamorous as it appears on screen. Ali and Katie shed some light on this topic and how the masses tend to make generalisations based on a few clips they see online. Ali also shares the reality of dealing with finances as a new content creator in the industry and how it takes a lot of time and effort before you get the true value of the work you do.

7:08-9:00

Katie and Ali have a detailed discussion on the importance for entrepreneurs and content creators to connect with their audience and show up with their authentic personality no matter how difficult it may appear at first.

15:52-17:44

26:41-30:11

Before wrapping off the podcast, Ali talks about some of his favourite influencers and content creators and what made him look up to them along with some genuine advice for anybody who is looking to enter the industry.

Key takeaways

#1 Avoid Over Excessive Planning

When you're starting something new, especially something that requires you to get out of your comfort zone, don't overthink. Your first attempt at anything will not be perfect and it doesn't have to be perfect. What's important is that you start and stay consistent while maintaining a strong learning mindset.

#2 Niche down

Content creation and entrepreneurship can be soul-sucking sometimes especially when you're handling all of your work yourself. However, having a specific niche that you truly enjoy can reduce your work stress significantly since you are enjoying what you do. So, it's not always a good idea to chase after the most high-paying or popular niches, sticking to where your strength and passion lie can do wonders too.

Key Quotes

“You just have to have passion, be patient for yourself, and know that it's a lot of work.”
“You are setting yourself up for lowkey disaster if you continue to present a version of yourself that is not authentic, that is not true to yourself because it will just make the work and the exhaustion much worse.”

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Emma-Jayne who shares with us her experience with becoming a business owner and how she navigated her journey from a salon Saturday girl to a salon owner.

If you are looking for some genuine business talk from a well-established salon owner, make sure to tune in and enjoy!

Timestamps

0:00-9:10We start off the podcast with a quick introduction of our special guest for today, Emma Jayne who owns a salon and specialises in lashes and bridal hair. She shares her origin story, how she got to where she is today, and what made her set up her own salon business. She also talks to us about her pregnancy journey, unfortunate miscarriages, and how she dealt with the difficulties that came with the COVID lockdown while she was in the process of establishing her business and grieving her loss.

10:52-13:06Emma shares how she dealt with some of the big changes that she went through after choosing entrepreneurship. This segment is filled with some valuable advice on how you can make this transition smoother for yourself as well.

13:08-15:32Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship can be quite challenging. Here, Emma talks to us about how she kept consistent with her business while also being a wonderful mom. She also shares some adorable moments she has had with her child that will make you go aww!

16:06-17:21Emma discusses how her work experience as an employee has positively shaped her interactions with her workforce as she now owns a salon business.

Key takeaways

#1 Mindset is keyYou need to have the right mindset before you step into the rewarding but challenging world of entrepreneurship. Remember that the proper strategy, the right mindset, and being focused strictly on what you want to achieve are what will get you through the difficult days. It is what will keep you consistent and steadfast on the days when you don't feel like beingan entrepreneur!

#2 Share your storyTake this as a sign to share your story with the world. Talking about your feelings and experiences with the world can not only make you feel relieved, but it can also help other people benefit and know that they are not alone in their difficulties.

#3 Find balanceAs entrepreneurs, it gets difficult to find your work-life balance and say no to work but you have to draw the line somewhere. Make sure to not overwork yourself to the point of exhaustion where you have no me-time left for yourself to unwind and relax. Investing time in yourself is also important for your business because a stressed out and overworked owner is much more likely to make mistakes that could have easily been avoided. Key Quote

“I did it because I had to, so I didn't have to go back and work full time.

JOIN OUR FREE 3 DAY CHALLENGE TO GET BOOKED UP!⁠https://www.katiegodfrey.co.uk/booked-out-beauty-the-challenge⁠

In this podcast episode, Katie walks us through her recent retreat to Marrakesh. She explains why she chose that location, her experience being there, and some exciting things that happened on the trip.

Make sure to grab a cup of coffee, preferably something to munch on, tune in and enjoy!

I have been planning this retreat for months literally…

Timestamps

0:00-4:42Katie starts off the podcast by explaining that her recent trip to Marrakesh was for business purposes, as she took a group of people to enjoy some time off, learn and network in a group setting. She also explains why this retreat took place specifically in Marrakesh and how her business retreat to New York last year inspired her to create something similar for her clients. She also walks us through the process and planning that went into the creation of this trip for her clients and how she made sure that the group would consist of like-minded people who would connect well because no one would really want to be stuck in a foreign country with people they don't vibe with or get along well with.

4:44-5:52Recalling some of the best things that happened on the trip, Katie shares how it proved to be an excellent means of making connections and networking with people that eventually helped her learn more and grow her business as well. She also shares how it proved to be an incredible opportunity for her to talk about her business and entrepreneurship with a group of wonderful business owners without any fear of judgement as is usually expected when talking to people who aren't entrepreneurs themselves and don't properly understand the ins and outs of running a business.

5:55-11:23In this segment, Katie shares some insights on how the trip was structured for the 4 days, the activities that they performed as a group during this time and how everything was scheduled and organised to ensure that the most was made out of the trip and the time spent together was utilised effectively. She also explains how she made sure to find a good balance between working by learning and interactive discussions and enjoying by doing something fun, touring the area, and finding enjoyable activities for everyone.

12:15:05Before wrapping off the podcast, Katie shares insights from upcoming plans for more retreats and how she recommends it to anyone who is looking to bond and learn with like-minded people.

Key Quote

“Business is extremely lonely, regardless of whether you have a mentor or coach and very often we can't speak to our family and friends about it as much as we would like, so to be around people with whom you can openly talk about business with no fear of judgement was incredible.”

⁠https://www.katiegodfrey.co.uk/booked-out-beauty-the-challenge⁠

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Helen from The Foundry. Helen is queen of profit & I wanted to get her on the show to share her success story and give you tips on how to generate more profit in your business.

If you are looking for some good business advice from a well-established salon owner, make sure to tune in and enjoy!

Timestamps

0:00-7:35

We start off the podcast with a quick introduction of Helen, as she tells us more about herself, how she started her salon at 41 and her training as a lash tech. She also talks to us about her very happy childhood, her life before she started her professional career and how she got into the beauty industry.

9:33-14:12

Helen talks about womanhood and how motherhood can change your priorities even in terms of your career as well as your general goals in life. She shares how her salon business worked out with her own family situation and how her daughters are so proud of the incredible career she has built for herself. Along with this, she talks about entertaining clients at odd hours of the day when she had just started her business and how COVID-19 impacted her business practices.

21:04-23:42

Helen talks about the importance of working on customer service to improve client experience and make them feel special. Small things like putting your client's coats on a warmer can truly make a difference and ensure that clients keep coming back for more and more of your services. This segment contains a lot of advice on personal branding and its benefits for your business, so don't miss out!

Key takeaways

#1 It's never too late to start

It's never too late to chase a dream as long as your passion and drive are strong enough. To set up and run your business, you need a proper strategy, work ethic, and focus and what you don't need is a socially acceptable age or any other social characteristic that is deemed fit to become a business owner. Shoot your shot and remember that it is better to try something and fail than to not do anything and regret about never even once trying.

#2 Don't undersell yourselves

If you are confident that you are offering something to your client that is not readily available in the market, charge accordingly. Clients will be willing to pay a few extra bucks if the service is worth it, even if they can get something for cheaper at another business that does not provide the same quality.

Key Quotes

● “It's lovely to find a new career later on in life.”

● “It's never too late, you are never too old.”

● “The universe gives you things for a reason.”

3:11-7:31Here, the two talk about the time when half of their team from the salon business left for maternity leave, how they dealt with this situation, and helped their team cope.

Timestamps

1:26-9:30 We start with Amy sharing how she took a KG lash course in 2017.

Katie shares how she has witnessed its positive influence in her salon business.

Key Takeaways

#1 Outsourcing is importantOutsourcing is the strategic move that will allow you as an entrepreneur to streamline your operations and enhance your efficiency. Collaboration and delegation can prove to be a game-changer, freeing up time and resources so that you can drive your business forward!

#2 Email marketing Through targeted and personalised email campaigns, you can connect with your clients on a personal level, generate more leads, effectively promote your products or services, and establish brand loyalty. This is especially true for those in the service industry such as salon owners. Remember, with email marketing, it's not just about sending messages; it's about creating meaningful connections with the audience.

Key Quote “The more emails you have in your email database; the more sales you will make when it comes to launching a new product or service. “

In this podcast episode, Katie shares her views on taking breaks in your business.If you are looking for some genuine business advice from women in business make sure to tune in and enjoy!

This life is not meant for everyone..

Timestamps

0:24-9:10

Katie starts by answering the first question she has from a business owner who wants to know if taking a break from their business to reset themselves is a good idea. Explaining the complexities involved in taking complete switch-off breaks as an entrepreneur, Katie touches upon many aspects of the entrepreneurial life, why it is not meant for everyone, and the recommended way of taking breaks from your business. She also shares her personal experience being an entrepreneur and how she manages her business and personal life without switching off her business completely when she has other things to prioritise.

9:30-13:38

Amy and Katie discuss how as an entrepreneur you can create freedom in your business in multiple ways such as empowering your team and having enough confidence in them to be assured that they can takeover when you are away. They also talk about the issue of burnout that many beauty salon owners face and what can be done to deal with it effectively.

Key takeaways

#1 Entrepreneurial grind

As a business owner, you need to understand that this is a profession that will require you to give your 100%. Even during vacations and holidays, the hustle will continue and there will still be things you need to take care of. This is why it’s so important that you whole-heartedly choose this profession and are prepared to deal with the challenges that are bound to come your way, and not just because you see other people doing it or for the sake of making money. Always remember that success in entrepreneurship goes beyond the financial rewards and making this choice solely based on external perceptions can lead to frustration and burnout.

#2 Building a strong team

As an entrepreneur, it is important for you to train your staff and empower them. A strong team will help you create a better work-life balance for yourself and will improve the quality of the service you are offering as well.

Key Quotes

“When you are an entrepreneur, business owner, beauty salon owner, whatever that looks like for you, but you are working for yourself in some shape and form, you can't take a break, as in like fully switch off.”

“If you want to build a business, you can't be like I'm building, I'm stopping, I'm building, I'm stopping.”

In this episode, we have with us Antonia Knowles from Kiss Aesthetics who is an incredibly talented individual with a strong passion for helping people make money and boost their passive income. In her words, money is a great thing to have, but life's too short to be spending all your time making it.

So, let's figure out how to strike the balance in this enlightening conversation!

And it was the best thing I ever did….

Key takeaways

#1 Find balance.

This is the key! While making money is important for all the obvious reasons, life truly is too short to be spent entirely trying to get those few extra dollars. So work hard but most importantly work smart, passive income is one such way where you make money while also not having to spend a lot of time on it. This applies to all, doesn't matter what niche you are working in, let it be your salon, lash business, or real estate.

#2 Find your core values.

Understanding what truly matters to you is a crucial aspect of achieving this sought-after equilibrium in life. By aligning your actions with your core values, you can make meaningful choices that promote both financial success and personal fulfilment.

#3 Everything happens for a reason.

When faced with challenges or uncertainties, remember that there may be a greater purpose or lesson hidden within these experiences.

Time Stamps

00:17-0:49

Knowles starts with a quick introduction and walks us through her passion for helping people make money and how it has evolved from wanting her clients to earn billions to now being more focused on helping them make sustainable amounts through passive income with the main aim of spending that time elsewhere because once again life's too short to be working 24/7.

5:39-10:07

Our guest shares with us her origin story. She talks about her education, work, some of the heartbreaks she faced along the way, and what inspired her interest in the industry she is part of now. Knowles also shares the initial stages of her work and the gratifying feeling of making good money.

16:26-17:31

Knowles shares how having ADHD has proven to be in her best interest, driving business success and giving her the motivation, she needs to get things done.

19:32-20:49

She talks about the importance of being open to taking risks and how it can help you grow as a person as well as an entrepreneur. Learn to get out of your comfort zone when needed!

21:57-27:29

Struggles are a part of life and something even the most successful entrepreneurs have gone through.

Key Quotes

“It's about freeing up time because that's all you've got.”
“If you keep saying yes to everything you are actually saying no to yourself”
“Even when you are in the darkest deepest moments, know that there is something that will come out of it.”

In this podcast, we will be having a discussion on some of the challenges beauty and hair businesses face due to seasonal changes and explore strategies to monetise this downtime.

You are leaving cash on the table….

Key takeaways

#1 Monetise your free times

For most business owners, it's common to experience fluctuations in their workload, with some months being busier than others. The key here is to capitalise on the seasons when your business isn't bustling with clients. During these quieter periods, you have an opportunity to make productive use of your time, don't let it go to waste.

#2 Retail products

If you have a loyal customer base, they are likely to purchase retail products from you because they already trust your brand. Retail products can be a great way to keep customers engaged during slower periods. Offering them new and relevant products can rekindle their interest and bring them back to your business and this not only leads to retail sales but can also result in repeat business for your core services.

#3 Think outside the box

Thinking outside the box is a fundamental concept in entrepreneurship and offers nothing but good as it encourages innovation, creativity, and a fresh approach to problem-solving. For instance, if you are a salon owner working in the beauty industry and you've been facing seasonal fluctuations where the demand for haircuts and beauty treatments tends to decline during certain times of the year, you could do some creative thinking and create a salon subscription service that offers customers a fixed number of visits or services each month for a set fee or do seasonal themed pop-up events to ensure some sales during that time period.

Time Stamps

0:45-5:19

Here Katie shares some very useful ways in which you can monetise the more relaxed, free days your business sees including reaching out to customers who haven't purchased in some time, offering gift vouchers, and carefully attracting clients during this time to ensure revenue generation and sales.

5:42-12:07

Have clients who trust you? Make some cash through retail. Katie walks us through the value of retail for businesses with a client base, for instance as a salon owner you can always keep some retail beauty products to sell and profit from. She also shares some valuable advice on how to decide the kind of retail products that can work well with what you are already offering and how to sell retail products effectively.

18:07-19:23

Make sure to stay active on your socials and work on your email marketing as well to attract clients. Remember it is currently November and everyone is buying gifts for their loved ones and your presence on social media will determine whether they buy these gifts from you or a competitor.

Quotes

● “Think of retail as free money.”

● “Just because we can't afford something, doesn't mean someone else can't either.”

In this episode, we have with us Dr.Jeanne, an incredibly talented South African entrepreneur currently based in Portugal. She is the founder of two incredible businesses, Figgi Life and Figgi Beauty.

you don't have an ‘off moment’, you have to be aware of the signals your body is sending you, what your intuition is telling you...

Key Takeaways

1 Don't Give Up on Your Dreams

Life will always be full of obstacles and setbacks, but giving up on your dreams means you end up losing your potential for success as well as personal fulfilment. So no matter how weird your business plan might sound to someone, or how ‘unconventional’ it may appear, if you know you can pull it off, go for it.

2 Prioritise Mental Health

I can't stress this enough, you need to prioritise your mental health, no matter how hectic your life gets. If you have childhood trauma or difficulty managing your anxiety or any other such issue, please consult a therapist, and get the help you need. Invest in yourself, it will pay off well!

3 Setting boundaries is important.

A common mistake that many entrepreneurs make is not setting boundaries, overworking themselves, and not being able to say no. Remember, if you continue skipping the much-needed me time and overstressing yourself, you will eventually have to face burnout.

Timestamps

0:23-1:43

Jeanne begins with an introduction of herself as well as the businesses she has set up. She also talks about her background in criminal law and humanitarian work and running a consultancy for the past 15 years.

2:30-2:47

Jeanne shares with us her story of origin, and her professional life before she got into entrepreneurship.

2:53-12:18

Early childhood trauma, when left untreated can result in a lot of mental health complications in the later stages of your life. Having dealt with this firsthand, Jeanne shares the difficulties that came along with her panic disorder diagnosis, how it broke her, and the struggles involved in treating it.

14:47-16:36

Jeanne talks about some of the realisations that came along with starting her skincare business, figgi beauty, and how her challenging mental health conditions contributed to its creation.

20:23-21:57

Jeanne shares valuable advice for anyone who is going to start a product-based business: ‘Whatever you think its going to cost, add 30% and if you don't have that to begin with, then try and find a different way to do it.’

Quotes

“I wanted figgi to be a place for me as well where I can just be honest, it doesn't make me bad at what I do, it doesn't make me less than anyone else, it just makes me different. So, I wanted to be able to say, this is me, this is how I am wired and I'm always going to be wired this way.” -Dr. Jeanne

1 Confidence as a Catalyst

Confidence plays a pivotal role in business success. So, believe in yourself, your abilities, and the value you bring to the table and remember embracing confidence helps you navigate challenges and seize opportunities with conviction.

2 Trusting Your Instincts

In today episode, we are in conversation with Danielle Mulvey, a flight attendant turned serial entrepreneur. With over 25 years of experience in the business world, she has built a portfolio of companies that generate an impressive $50 million in revenue each year. As a partner of Profit First author Mike Michalowicz. (Buy book here) Danielle is passionate about helping other entrepreneurs improve their profitability and grow their businesses. She even hosts their official podcast, where she shares her insights and experiences with listeners. In this podcast, we hope to do the same, and learn more about this transformative cash management approach!

Key Takeaways

#1 Profits should not be an afterthought

Instead of waiting until the end of a period to calculate profits, the profit-first approach focuses on setting profit goals at the beginning of the year and adjusting expenses accordingly. By doing this, your business can become more efficient and effective, making the most of the resources available to you.

#2 Never outsource decision making

As an entrepreneur, it's okay if you're not an accounting wizard. But that doesn't mean you can just outsource all financial tasks and let your employees handle everything. Ultimately, you need to be the one making the big decisions for your business, so it's important to regularly check in with your team and keep your finger on the financial pulse of your company.

17:52 – 21:26

Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine

In this episode, we sit with the dynamic Alisha Mccarroll, founder of Alisha’s Aesthetics, an award-winning clinic and academy. Alisha started her clinic six years ago and opened her academy three years later, earning 21 awards to date, including the prestigious UK Beauty Awards. Join us, as she takes us through her journey starting from her childhood and teenage years in Luton, and the personal challenges that she faced along the way, to her finding her entrepreneurial calling.

If you're struggling to find your way through a rough patch in life, then Alisha's words will surely give you hope.

Key takeaways

#1 Nothing is impossible

From acing her nursing exams to becoming a talented aesthetician, Alisha’s success story proves that you can achieve anything once you put your mind to it. So don’t let any past failures define you, instead take them in your stride as you move forward toward your dreams!

#2 Block Negativity

Unfortunately, there will always be people who are jealous of your achievements, but don't let them hold you back from flaunting your hard-earned success. Instead, take control of your social media space by blocking any negativity that comes your way and continuing to inspire others with your achievements.

#3 Follow your passion not money

Alisha is highly critical of clinics that have opened up solely to make a quick profit, without any real commitment to the industry or maintaining excellence. She believes that doing things for the right reasons is necessary, as it enables us to fully commit to our goals and deliver real value to our customers.

Entrepreneurship OR Training? The Process Of Deciding Suitable Career Paths

For this podcast session, we have Sarah Abel who shares with us her journey with her salon business and training centres.

The way I look at my business now at 58, is very different from how I looked at it maybe in my thirties...

Key takeaways

1 What do I want for myself?

Make sure that you ask yourself this question whenever you sit down to think and seriously consider the career path you choose for yourself. At the end of the day, you are going to be the one who will have to deal with the consequences of your actions and decisions so think and think wisely before you finalise something

2 Do not settle for less

We often tend to underestimate our potential and capabilities but with good self-awareness and perhaps some help from a personal trainer, you can work on this problem and get over it. This will also help ensure that you don't end up settling for anything less than what you deserve.

3 Don't make mistakes other businesses do

Do some research, figure out mistakes that other businesses in your industry are doing, and don't make them yourself. Learn from the experiences of others, it will help you grow and get your business a competitive advantage!

Time stamps

2:30-5:12

Abel shares with us how covid 19 and her growing age led to a shift in her mindset regarding her salon business and starting with training people into managing their businesses successfully.

11:55-13:16

Abel talks to us about learning from past mistakes in terms of business and shares some common things business owners tend to ignore, which they later end up paying a cost for. She also addresses some misconceptions businesses have related to training employees. So make sure to not skip this part especially if you are an aspiring entrepreneur!

28:30-31:06

Here we discuss the importance of recruiting the right staff for your business, whose values and vision match that of your business.

53:42-54:23

Sort out your money matters, pick the lifestyle you'd want for yourself, and have the belief that you will be able to achieve it.

54:27-59:57

Abel goes on to talk about the training program she has planned out, featuring 6 face-to-face mentoring sessions, along with monthly coaching sessions. The program is designed to help people transition from working in their salon business to having their training academy. Application forms are available if you are looking to apply!

𝙀𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙡𝙚𝙨, 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙍𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨!

In this podcast, Lauren Lapping from Australia joins us to share her journey with entrepreneurship, from running her salon to helping others set up successful businesses of their own as a coach. Her story is nothing short of an inspiration, especially for those who are aspiring to become entrepreneurs themselves!

Business owner life is interesting...

𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 #1 Hustle There is no short cut to success, no secret that can help you earn it over night. It involves a lot of blood and sweat but as long as you have the determination you will succeed.

#2 Don't give in to the ifs and buts There will be many times in life when you will have great opportunities, and excellent ideas that can be executed but your fear and insecurities will stop you. In such moments you need to stop listening to whatever is holding you back and start taking action. Pour your heart and soul into whatever project you have decided to work on, make mistakes and learn from them but don't hesitate from giving it a shot!

#3 It's not all glamour! Business life can get pretty isolating sometimes. Don't buy flashy lies and prepare yourself to deal with challenges!

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐬

1:12-3:29: Lapping starts with a warm introduction, and tells us about her lash and brow salon business, the launch of her product line, and her experience with training people. Then she shares with us how her desire to see women succeed as entrepreneurs led to a beautiful journey of self-discovery, growth, and success and turned her into a business coach.

5:45-6:50: Here our host and Lapping talk about the difference between selling services as an independent business owner and as an employee. Businesses don't work out for everyone, we are all built to do different things!

7:05-13:35: What does the business owner's life look like? Interesting and exciting but also lonely and tiresome sometimes. In this section of the podcast, join us for the not-so-glamorous aspect of running your own business.

15:07-21:16: Lapping tells us how she got into the beauty therapy industry, her experience learning and then practising, as well as the hurdles she faced along the way! How she navigated her journey through parenthood, being a housewife, and then back to her passion for beauty services, this time in the form of her own salon!

31:49-33:18: Here Lapping talks about her business practices, keeping up with the supply and demand and making sure that her business is efficiently managed at all times!

40:00-49:00: Are you a people pleaser who finds it difficult to say no to people? Well, this segment of the podcast might resonate well with you and you might find some valuable advice that can pull you out of this habit.

51:50-1:13:24 This section features a wholesome conversation on how rewarding business life can be, finding work-life balance and true happiness in what you do, as well as the importance of working smart along with working hard.

For this podcast session today, we are joined by two incredibly talented guests Demi who is a lash expert, and Rachel who is a brow technician. Together the two decided to combine their skills and start a salon and this is their story of how it all happened!

It was a fairytale…

Key Takeaways

1 Follow your heart

Societal pressure and stigma around certain things can prevent you from fulfilling your goals but in times like this hold on tight to your dreams. If you know what you are doing is right, have a solid plan to achieve your vision, don't stop. Start and keep going until you get there!

2 Overcome challenges

Challenges are a part of life, we all have them. So don't let the hard times get to you and continue putting your energy into things that truly matter.

3 Quitting doesn't mean failure

Not everything in life is supposed to work out, and at times you might have to quit certain things but don't look at that as a sign that you have failed. Failure and success don't come with a concrete definition, so if one path is not working out well for you, explore others and find the one that does even if it does not fit into the socially constructed view of success.

Time Stamps:

0:40-8:50

Both of our talented guest speakers share with us our origin story, their areas of expertise, how they got into the salon business, and some of the difficulties they faced along the way with managing education, mental health, and everything that life threw at them.

8:51-13:12

The stigma around beauty courses is real and who would know that better than someone in the beauty industry themselves? In this part of the segment, our guests talk about the societal pressure that sometimes comes with doing what your heart truly wants you to do, and how they faced their families and remained steadfast during the challenges.

13:55-21:29

Demi and Rachel share with us how they made this business partnership work given how collaborative work requires a lot of effort and often still doesn't end up working quite right

34:41-48:08

Inflation, covid, and increased cost of living. This segment is loaded with some real talk on finances and managing through tough economic times!

‘Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.’ - Wilma Rudolph

The Importance Of Personal Branding With Joshua B.Lee

For this podcast, we have with us the King of LinkedIn, Joshua B.Lee who talks to us about the importance of having a well-maintained LinkedIn profile and personal branding!

Key Takeaways

1 Human-to-Human Approach

When developing a marketing plan get a little person and don't forget to add the human element to your brand which will help draw a large consumer base.

2 Don't just focus on the financial aspect

Running a business is much more than just the finances so if you are in just for the cash, you need to shift your values and set a strong vision and mission for your business. Otherwise, the survival of your business is at stake right there

2 Don't take negative feedback personally

This one might sound a little cliche but don't take the negativity you're bound to encounter especially if you have a digital presence. If you make mistakes, learn from them and admit that you wronged, also value constructive criticism but do not pay attention to mindless hate!

Time Stamps

2:26-4:39

Our guest speaker shares with us his origin story, how he started his career, creating multiple companies, monetizing traffic, and understanding the significance of helping others build their way up on LinkedIn by connecting with other individuals.

You must have heard about Instagram and Facebook algorithms, but do you know what a human algorithm is? In this segment Lee explain to us this relatively under-explored type of algorithm, in a world where we have all become focused on AI and automation!

8:44-12:10

Lee explains his journey with entrepreneurship and how he worked his way from selling candy for 100% profit as a child to the successful person that he is today.

12:17-16:59

I found myself in my early 30’s extremely successful professionally, but burned out physically, mentally, and spiritually.My career in the automotive industry was lucrative, however every other aspect of my life suffered.And when that happened, the money didn’t mean much.I DIDN’T TAKE CARE OF MY WELLNESS AND THEN WAS FORCED TO TAKE CARE OF MY ILLNESS!This was a wake-up call. I started to question what was truly important to me in life – my health and my family.I eventually retired from that industry and now am happy living the best life ever.Links:WEBSITE: https://denaholmes.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dena.holmz/ Sponsors for February Lash + Brow LabCombined, Demi and Rachel have over 10 years experience in the beauty sector.

Bio:

Hi, I’m Stephanie! And I’m so happy you’re here! From being the marketing director of tech companies, to running my own marketing agency, and now teaching other business owners how to do marketing… let’s just say marketing is a HUGE part of my life. I’m a recovering perfectionist and proud digital nomad (I live between Canada and Italy), helping beauty business owners overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome, by teaching them how to find their perfect clients online with a strong personal brand. My goal is to teach what I’ve learned in overcoming fear and “putting myself out there”, to lift up other female entrepreneurs around the world. I teach Facebook and Instagram ads to attract clients and grow your appointment book in my program The Ad Lab. I also host online events to help you grow different parts of your brand and business (next one coming soon!) On the personal side, I’m obsessed with donkeys, science fiction novels, home-made pizza, and spending time in the beautiful nature of Italy.

No-one - "So, Rochelle who are you?"

Me: I am a creative, tattooed, outspoken, rebellious soul who owns a youth + culture digital marketing and PR agency (with my name on it 🤦🏽‍♀️). I am (slightly) controversial, love what I do and enjoy using my creative personality, outspokenness and talkative nature to work with people and brands in my chosen industries. I have helped brands grow and get seen nationally and globally across all medias. Would you believe I'm also a 'Celebrity fashion stylist', Art Director and yes a PR expert. I am always in various publications talking about influencers, cancelled culture, trends, topics, fashion and more. I've worked with all types of brands throughout my career, as well as represented talent and celebrities. But, aside from all that, I'm pretty normal or as normal as you can be. I love music, festivals and holidays and just having fun. I don't think I'm a typical business owner, as I don't tend to follow that model - I just do me! . . .

Matt Jones was born in Newport and now resides in Cardiff. Having over nineteen years of experience in the Advertising & Creative Industry and thirteen years as an entrepreneur, Matt has employed more than one hundred staff during his time founding, developing, and launching his award-winning businesses. Matt has held senior positions in the UK advertising industry and founded the creative advertising agency, S3 Advertising in 2011. He then grew his agency from a start-up into a multi-million-pound national business which he sold via a management buyout in 2019. Recently featured on Dragons Den seeking a Dragon as a business partner for his male skincare brand MESOA Skincare, Matt successfully secured retail tycoon Touker Suleyman. All five Dragons were incredibly impressed by Matt with Peter Jones describing him as an “absolute inspiration” after detailing his mental health battles which inspired the creation of the brand itself. Despite Matt deciding not to continue the journey with Touker, the two remain friends. Being an advocate for men's mental health, Matt created MEOSA Skincare with a vision to create a safe, non-judgmental place for men to share their stories in the hope that it helps both them and other men. He wants to encourage men to open up and share their experiences in the hopes that it can provide the confidence for men to seek the help they need. Over the past decade, Matt has won and judged several national awards in business and entrepreneurship communities, including the NatWest Great British Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2016, 2017 and 2018, with hopes to grow the list in 2022 and beyond.

She has found a unique problem in the service space that people believe they have to work more, to earn more, which leads to burnout. Her unique 4X Method™ has allowed her and her clients to be able to work from anywhere in the world whilst working less than 10 hours a week.

So, now, she’s on a mission to help over 10,000 women in the next 5 years take ownership of their own success, 4x their income & time-freedom and be able to design their own life with full control & confidence.

This year Poppy is most excited about welcoming her second child this year, planning her wedding to her fiance of 5 years and scaling her group coaching Next Level Programme™ whilst creating game-changing impact throughout the industry.

Hanna started London Lash business 8 years ago.

Miss Dolla

Quality – The only thing which matters. That’s Hanna’s motto in life. Being a lover of gel nail polishes, Hanna decided to develop a gel polish range which would give women salon quality and long retention from the comfort of their own homes. Hanna has partnered up with Billy Green, CEO of London Lash, who used to work for big fashion and cosmetic brands like Pretty Little Thing, Look Fantastic and Glossybox. Together, they merged professional salon quality with latest fashion trends. After months of intense product development - Miss Dolla was born. Years of Hanna's experience of salon work as a nail technician helped them to develop an excellent gel polish which will give the best retention. With the correct application, Miss Dolla gel nail polishes last for at least 3 weeks without chipping.

I am not one of those lucky early adopters of Instagram who grew their following overnight without trying. I was a very late starter! I saw that my salon was struggling to gain new clients and I knew I had to do something about it, I knew that thing was to grow our presence online.

I found I had an undiscovered talent for marketing coupled with being a natural educator. I put the two skills together to teach other hairdressers how to use Instagram to grow their business and realise their dreams of brand endorsement and educator roles.

In 2019, I started working for a business coaching group where I was the social media coach. This is where I cut my teeth on educating hair and beauty professionals to use social media. In 2020, I launched my first course as The Hairdresser's Social Club!

Since then, over 1000 people have joined my online courses.

I have tried and tested Instagram techniques that will help you with your branding, your content, and your hairdressing and beauty business.

Follower numbers are nice, but they are not a measure of your success on social media. Some of the salons with the smallest follower numbers that I work with have the best engagement, meaning their followers are their true fans. https://www.thehairdresserssocialclub.com/welcome?r_done=1 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐊𝐆 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭

Tom Chapman may in fact be the busiest Barber in the World. After a decade working at Toni & Guy he founded his own hair studio in 2011 – Tom Chapman Hair Design, in his hometown of Torquay. He quickly realised that from inside the safe environment of his barbershop there was an opportunity to not only look after what’s on his customers heads, but also what’s inside their heads too. So in 2015 he founded The Lions Barber Collective, which is a group of international Barbers, that educate and raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. This life saving collective have grown into a huge global network, that trains Barbers in BarberTalk training, giving other Barbers the skills to listen and help customers with their mental health and suicide prevention. Leading this groundbreaking collective has led Tom to giving TEDx Talks and gaining coverage on National and International Television and Radio. All spreading the incredible story of The Lions Collective, saving lives along the way. And if that wasn’t enough, he has even found time to film an Amazon Prime Documentary.

In 2015 he founded The Lions Barber Collective. After years of cutting people’s hair, Tom realised that there was an opportunity to not only look after what was on top of his customers head, but also what’s inside of their head too. The Collective started as a group of international barbers that wanted to raise awareness for suicide prevention, from within the safe environment of the barber shop, where men found it a safe place to talk.But with Tom being the driving force behind it, it’s developed to become much more. They even created bespoke BarberTalk training to teach Barbers to RECOGNISE, ASK, LISTEN and HELP and continue to save lives.

Carla Chatburn.

After completing my Beauty therapist training in 2003 I worked my way up to become a master nail technician. Continuing to work in salon, I competed in many events and even won the British Nail Technician of the Year Award.

My passion of the beauty industry grew as did the desire to impart my knowledge and enthusiasm. I gained a Post Graduate Certificate in Education and began working as a lecturer. This was a fantastic experience and one that has helped me to ensure all our staff receive the highest level of training.

In 2005 I opened my first salon in Accrington which I managed and worked as a beauty therapist. The success of this salon encouraged me to expand and now have salons in Clitheroe & Barrowford. All three salons are designed to be comfortable, intimate, neutral environments for a warm inviting atmosphere and offer the very best international brands.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of treating the most amazing clients, for which I will always be grateful.

After practicing in beauty Therapy for eighteen incredible years, I decided to leave the therapy side to my very talented team to focus on Pure Perfection business support. This allows me to keep up-to-date with new products and treatments so that I can train all staff in the very latest techniques. I am also excited for the opportunity to dedicate more time to our video tutorials, monthly newsletters and various marketing media. ………….. 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭:

Joanna has been a lash artist for nearly 10 years. Having been just shy of a decade her lash business has grown up with the industry as it has metamorphised through so many changes.

Joanna is also a lash educator and has been teaching for about 3 years and is an accredited trainer for Darling Beauty.

Joanna started lashing as a side-line when her children were young and whilst she was still working in television. Television is Joanna’s other passion and she went into the world of light entertainment having left university with an English degree. Whilst at uni she was a contestant on Blind Date and it was that whole experience which piqued her interest in television production and became her focus.

Working her way up through the roles behind the camera including contracts as an associate producer she is used to writing, producing, directing and shooting broadcast pieces but what she really wanted to do was step infront of the camera.

Finally, she landed a job as a reporter on BBC’s The Really Useful Show and also started to present for many corporate videos and live shows such as The Boat Show and The Good Food Show. She also co-presented a series on cable TV called ‘Show People’. Eventually, Joanna moved into regional weather presenting and presented for ITV and Channel 5 before being head hunted by Sky News and Joanna finished her TV presenting as a weather presenter there. Alongside this Joanna had a daily contract as a voice over artist for Bloomberg television. Voice overs are one of Joanna’s favourite things to do.

Before lockdown, Joanna organised a lash event with Dionne of Love and Lashes and it was here that Joanna first spoke about her tips and tricks which she had learned over the years of broadcasting. During lockdown Joanna has taken this onwards and has begun to devise teaching in this area. She has already done some one to one classes for vocal and presenting mentoring via zoom and she is looking forward to doing workshops as well as one to one teaching and hopes also to create an online course. She is very keen to give people the confidence to speak to camera and to create voiced over pieces so that their social media accounts can be brought to life but also to feel more confident with communication day to day, be it face to face with customers or speaking to students or maybe presenting live to a larger audience.

Recently, Joanna has also produced a series of podcasts called ‘Behind The Lashes’ which she is extremely proud of. It’s her little piece of social history, following 22 lash artists from around the world as they navigate their way through this bizarre period of coronavirus. Joanna gets such a buzz out of hearing people’s stories. The trials and tribulations. The highs and lows as they battle with fear, lack of income, lack of a sense of future and anxiety that this brings but also the incredible resourcefulness of these women and the numerous ways in which they inspire her and the listeners.

Caz qualified as a Hypnotherapist & Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) having been trained by the world renowned leader Marisa Peer. She has always been interested in the mind and when it does not work to our advantage wanted to know how it can be changed. After she graduated from university with a 1st Class Hons in Psychology she then worked in the Pharmaceutical world in Clinical Research. She wanted treatments to help. She did this for 18 years and was really successful, working as a Global Manager supporting the business to understand the root causes of when things went wrong and then designed solutions to address those root causes. Fair to say Caz always wants to get to the heart of the matter. Now albeit Caz was doing great in her career she knew something was not fulfilling her. She suffered Post Natal Depression after the birth of her first child and at that point looked up RTT. She tried antidepressants, CBT and counselling. Sure they helped but somehow the pain inside was not recovered - she was surviving and was fed up being in survival mode and just having coping strategies. The RTT changed everything for her. She not only rid herself of feelings such as guilt, depression, low self esteem but also decided to leave her 18 year career to train and become an RTT Therapist. She dealt with her money blocks and fears to set up her own business. Never looking back, being grateful for the lessons from her past - she turned her pain into purpose, freed herself from the past. Caz's story was one of trauma. She grew up in a home with an alcoholic father, she and her brothers lived in fear, walking on eggshells the whole time. She felt alone, scared. When she had her first child all of those feelings of being alone and scared came back to the forefront and that was a dark place for her. She had numbed the pain out yet had not realised (until RTT) that the numbing had held her back, caused her depression and her self sabotaging behaviours e.g. her bad relationship with money, her bad relationship with drink, attracting the wrong people in her life. Caz's nature is non-judgemental and her purpose is to make those that are in that survival mode (depression, anxiety, fear of something e.g. presenting, business fears) feel good enough and to have inner compassion, remove that inner critic and the wonderful realisation that nothing is perfect as no one can be perfect, we are human and we make errors. Caz's job is to smash away those limiting beliefs, those harsh critical words we say to ourselves and create a self-love and compassion that will enable you to live life to the full! To thrive in all aspects of life and have abundance in life (love, health, wealth). She has seen client after client turn it around after they have worked on their inner critic and mindset.

Episode 24. My name is Carl Hinder and I am the ‘Business Coach’ and owner at Salon-Help. I started to formalise my salon coaching in 2015 after working with salons on a less formal basis for many years. When I had my own chain of salon’s I realised that there was no one to turn to when you needed a bit of advice, no one to bounce your ideas off, find that extra motivation when it mattered or just wanted to change direction. Even when I had great salon teams and fabulous managers it still often felt lonely, I would have given anything to have had a business coach or mentor.

I developed many of my skills and much of my knowledge from my background in retailing, working at management level with three of the largest retailers and some of the best people and mentors in the UK. The move away from the corporate sector was perfect for me, and as I opened more salons’ I realised that you can apply well developed business skills to any business. It’s the same planning, people and communication skills, and above all else passion, no matter what your business is.

When it comes to Salon business coaching, I know my background makes me hugely different form most coaches in my sector, I might be the right match for you if you are 100% committed to succeeding. I have never yet found a business that would fail, only salon owners not prepared to succeed. I will help you develop strategy and structure, but the rate of change is fast.

I can come across as demanding, but that’s because I only want you focused on your success. I have done so many things over the years that help me, to help you.

Episode 19. Before Kim Jaynes founded Borboleta Beauty, she was an up-and-coming lash artist who wanted to give her clients the best extensions possible. Fed up with the lack of decent lash options, Kim dreamed of creating her own. She envisioned a lash brand that would embrace the beauty of diversity while empowering other artists to achieve their goals. In 2013, her dream became a reality when Borboleta Beauty was born. After starting the brand with nothing, Kim hustled to get her products into the hands of other artists. In the early days, she actually sold lashes out of the trunk of her car!

Since then, the company has come a long way. Now one of the leading lash extension brands in the world, Borboleta is known and loved by artists all over the globe. For Kim, it’s always been about so much more than that—it’s about women supporting other women. That’s why the company is dedicated to giving lash artists the tools they need to be successful. In addition to developing cutting-edge products, Borboleta runs the lash industry’s largest education program, training thousands of artists around the world every year.
