Who should have a coach?

• Salon start up and teams
• Salon owners that want to make their business more profitable, run smoother, get more free time and increase the quality of their life
• Open minded people that are willing and excited to do what it takes to succeed
• All of us can benefit from coaching.  I have a coach.

Business coaching basics:

• We create a custom permission-based agreement up front and will work within it.
• I’ll help you set your measurable, realistic and thrilling goals – how much more money, time, peace of mind, etc… do you want?  What will greatly improve the quality of your life?
• We’re on the same team, looking out towards your goals and creating the action plan to get there
• There is no judgment or blame, just what’s next
• I hold you to your highest potential
• It’s all about your goals, objectives, life and agenda.  (I leave my ego at the door)
• Just like in sports coaching, you take the actions, learn, and enjoy your results.

Your role in making salon coaching a success

• Commit to your own success
• Have an open mind
• Be willing to learn and try new actions or thoughts even if they are sometimes scary or out of your comfort zone
• Sign up for at least 6 months of coaching – many quit at about 3 months because of fears and old limiting beliefs and just before results start arriving.  Those who sign up for a year of coaching generally get 4-10 times the results of those that stop at 6 months.
• Do your homework – plan on at least an hour a day.  I call it your “golden” hour.
• Complete an agenda form before each coaching– accomplishments, ideal outcome, questions, areas stuck, homework
• Execute
