Self-awareness and accountability go hand-in-hand, which is why in this episode, I want to break down the types of self-awareness, what they mean, and how you can learn to cultivate internal and external awareness. Why is this so important, you may ask? When you are both internally and externally self-aware, that’s where true joy comes from. I encourage you to really think hard about how you’re showing up and who you want to be, and start asking these powerful questions to help you on your own journey of self-awareness!  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.

This episode is arguably my favorite one of the year to record, where I share my predictions for our industry in the upcoming year!  Today you’ll not only get my predictions for 2023, but also the adaptations you may have to make to prepare for the new year, and how I think you can come out on top of this impending recession!  It’s time to stop adapting to the now, to stop chasing trends, and to look to the future in order to get ahead of the change.

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. To prepare for this episode, I spent time reviewing the websites of stylists, salons and industry influencers, and wow, did I ever learn some things that I want to share with you!  In this episode, you’ll hear some of the major mistakes and mishaps that I found when reviewing different websites. I expose them here not to embarrass anybody, but to empower everybody to get out of their own way, to stop taking shortcuts, and to instead of making decisions that make your life easier, make the decisions that will have your clients wanting to work with you - period!  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 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. This is something that I created and trademarked way back in 2012, and it became the foundation of not just Thrivers Society, but literally everything that I do.  In this first installment, I answer a question from an incredible listener who left me a rating and review, and it’s dedicated to the opportunity level of the framework. More specifically, I look at how to create more opportunity for growing your clientele and branding in tough and competitive markets.  I invite you to really hone in on your target market and branding, because this is the core of everything that you do when getting that clientele generator pumping! Stay tuned, because you’re not going to want to miss the upcoming episodes in this series!  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

This episode is a big one, as we are talking all about pre-visit guest experiences! The biggest piece of the puzzle when building pre-visit guest experiences is trust, but how can you be sure that you’re building it with them? In today’s episode, I reveal the ways that you can build trust with potential clients, and what happens when the trust just isn’t there between your client and the salon. Remember, this process begins before that person even visits your salon for the first time, so these are things that you always need to be considering as a salon and business owner!  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’s episode is again inspired by another review I received from a listener who has questions around terminations. How exactly do you know if now is the right time to let a team member go, and if you have given that person a fair shot? Once you’ve made the decision that it isn’t the right fit, how do you let the person go in a professional manner? These can be tricky questions to answer, but I want you to think hard about what it is that you’re trying to create with your business, and who you want to be around each and every day to help you succeed. You need to not only ask these questions, but be brutally honest with yourself, have these conversations, and make the hard choices that are necessary. In this episode, I want to set you up for success with all your hires and all your terminations, and take the fear out of making these decisions. You can do it!  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

Today I’m answering a great question that I received from a very seasoned and successful stylist who has a desire and want for more. Although she’s very happy with her lifestyle and what she has achieved, she is constantly left with a feeling of needing more, so I am going to talk to you today about what this “more” can look like for you in your life and salon. This episode is really about getting you to think about what it is that you want in life and what you want to get from this industry. So get creative, because this industry is changing and you need to stay open-minded. There are so many possibilities available right now, and I can’t wait to help guide the industry in the direction that I know it needs to go in!  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.

This week I’m answering a question from a Thriver and listener of the podcast who is talking about a salon walkout that recently happened, and I share how I would have approached handling the situation, in the hope that it provides some lessons that you can use in the future. This is what business ownership really looks like, and it’s all about the highs, the lows, the learnings and the hardships. I want you to take this time to look closely at your numbers and the structure in your salon, because there are amazing people out there who want to learn, can be mentored, and would absolutely thrive in your system!  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’ll be the first to admit that I’m feeling a little bit vulnerable digging into this topic today, but I want to look at what it means to display professional, profitable and authentic vulnerability. This is something that I’ve struggled with for a long time, and probably still do, but I’ve been able to really learn how to be more vulnerable, but in the right way. In this episode, I share the do’s and don’ts of being vulnerable as a business owner, the dangers of oversharing or creating content that isn’t aligned with your brand, and so much more!  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’s topic is something that is mysterious to our industry, but not to the world around us. In this episode, we are talking about Web 3.0, which is based on the premise that there’s an alternative to exploiting users for data to make money, and that instead, building open platforms that share value with users directly will create more value for everyone, including the platform. I’ll be breaking down further what Web 3.0 is all about, what it stands for, and what it could mean for our industry moving forward!

Being content and comfortable is where businesses go to die, because the world around us is always growing. That’s why for today’s episode, we are talking all about growth, and in order to do this exercise you’re going to have to set your ego aside. I want you to rethink your business, think about how you can get more clients faster and how you can attract the right people to work for you. This is my invitation to you to take a hard look at your website, reviews and messaging, and set the goal to look many times sharper than the actual value of the transformation you deliver. Do this, and watch the magic that happens for 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.

Every once in a while there are a slew of friends and family who come to me and complain about their hair stylist or salon. I have a good handful of these types of stories and recent situations, which is why I want to bring them to you in this episode.

Today we’re looking at Afterpay, a new payment processor that has taken Australian shoppers by storm with more than one million customers and almost five million transactions being made on the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platform since its launch in 2015. In this episode, I reveal what Afterpay is, how it works, and the ways it can impact your business and your clientele.  As you’ll hear, I don’t think that Afterpay is flawless (not that anything is!) but I hope this gives you some awareness about what this system is all about, whether or not it is a good thing for you, and what it can do for your business and your clientele if you do decide to use it in your salon!  If you’re not already following us, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for?
