As beauty professionals, we are drawn to hands-on training and classes on the latest modalities and technologies. If we are honest, we know deep down that we need more business training to nurture the entrepreneur and manager within us. You may have invested in online courses to advance your business. They are extremely helpful but it’s not the same as …
I get this question a lot: “I am starting a new salon/spa. How do I get more clients?” If you recently opened a new practice, you’re probably on a mission to build your clientele.

Recently I had “one of those days” – those “entrepreneur down days” when nothing feels right and everything seems to be a struggle. So I decided to sit down and write a bunch of “appreciation cards” to people that matter to me. Not just to people related to my business, such as clients and partners, I also wrote cards to …
