These are the five things that i focus on to turn on my income generating abilities, and it helped me to set myself free. Essentially, the first thing i want you to do is focus on profit, producing activities, it's something that makes you money. We live in a world where it's so easy to be busy, there's always something that needs to be done, and so it's easy for us to feel like we're, always doing something and not understand why we aren't making any money. So what is a profit producing activity? It is doing a cut and color. It is pre-booking a client. It is selling some retail. It is getting some referrals. Anything like that is gon na make you money. What are some things that aren't gon na make you money chit chatting with other stylists gossiping with your friends, thinking about what you need to make for dinner. Writing a shopping list, there's so many things that people fill their days with that don't make them money now something like instagram. It can go either way whenever i'm training a stylist. I tell them this. Are you using social media as a resource, or are you using it as a distraction, so many people just sit on instagram all day and just scroll looking at people's greatest outfits and new recipes and new workout regimes like okay, all that is very useful, but none Of that's gon na make you any money, maybe you're watching things like learning a new hair technique connecting with new clients connecting with existing clients, then that is a valuable use of social media. So the first thing is: do profit producing activities at least 80 percent of your day should be doing something. That'S gon na generate you some money. The second thing i want you to focus on is pre-booking your income. Getting an existing client to come back to. You is so much easier than going out to get a new client, so what it means to pre-book your income is your client has no idea when they need to see you next, so it's important to explain to them hey, even though you're blonde, you may not Have a ton of roots in six weeks, but you still need a toner, so we're gon na book you in or hey reds are super high maintenance. I can guarantee that you're, probably going to feel really drab in about a month's time.

Fine hair third thing i want you to focus on is creating the unforgettable customer experience. When i first opened my salon, i was on this corner. There was another salon on this corner. There was another salon on this corner and there was another salon on this corner, and then there was one down the street, and that was just in the one intersection. I had a salon right downtown and there were hundreds of neighboring salons. So what would make someone come to me over going to them? It was the unforgettable customer experience. I developed a 13-step customer journey that every client would go through as soon as they walk through the doors and the experience and quality was dependable people. Don'T really love surprises at the end of the day, they they like things to be relatively consistent. So, by having your own customer journey, that will ensure that you give people a consistent experience every time they're in to see you. The fourth thing i want you to focus on is retail. Retailing is the easiest way to make more money without doing any extra work? Every stylist should have multiple streams of income of some sort, so doing hair is one channel of revenue. Retailing is a second channel of revenue and, if you're doing your job properly, retailing is actually super. Easy. Your clients are your walking billboards. It is your job to teach your clients how to do their hair so that they know how to look and feel good until they get to see you next, i hear clients say all the time. It always looks good when i leave the salon, but not anymore. After that, so let's say your client only comes once every six to eight weeks, so they look good the day that they leave, maybe for the next day and maybe the day after because they haven't washed. Yet let's say a week and then what they don't. Look good again for another seven weeks, like that's nuts as a stylist. It'S your responsibility to teach your client how to do their hair and if you teach them properly, when they leave you're, not selling them anything, they will be buying. The last thing i want you to focus on, and the most important thing i want you to focus on - is understanding money in money out. I know this is a generalized statement, but it's not uncommon to find a stylist that doesn't like math. We are more creative as an industry and as professionals, but i hate to break this to you. Math is money. I don't need you to understand how to calculate the distance to the moon or do some extreme crazy, calculus formula, but we need to understand basic math money in versus money out. Understanding a profit and loss statement is crucial to understanding how much money you're going to bring home at the end of the day.
