I know that being in business isn’t always easy. Along with the many highs and ‘a ha’ moments it can sometimes be soul destroying, frustrating and a very lonely place to be. Being a business owner is one of life’s greatest educations and it gives you two clear choices, either you continually learn, adapt and grow, or you resist change, stagnate and perish. We live in ever changing and sometimes challenging times, so being informed and constantly inspired is more important than ever. Join Antony Whitaker talking to thought leaders on the business side of the hairdressing industry discussing insightful, provocative and inspiring ideas that matter. Get ready to learn, get ready to be challenged, get ready to be inspired and most importantly get ready to grow your salon business!

258 Take Control of Your Salon Finances Now!

Épisode 258

mardi 20 août 2024 • Durée 12:03

We all have a money story. An event or series of events in our young lives that shape how we see money, how we value money and how either we learn to master money, or it masters you.

Inevitably your ‘money story’ will largely be influenced by your parents and your exposure to their habits and thoughts around money.

But as a business owner the money story you have from your upbringing and the thoughts and habits you have developed may not serve you well in business.

In business, you need to learn to master money, or it will master you.

That doesn’t mean that you have to become an accountant or bookkeeper.

But it does mean that you need to learn to manage the money that flows through your business so that you can build a profitable business and create the lifestyle that you want for yourself and your family.

In today's episode we discuss:

● Why not everyone should be self-employed.

● What your accountant’s job is.

● Why financial management is your responsibility.

156 This Could Be the Business Model for You with Blake Reed Evans

Épisode 156

mardi 30 août 2022 • Durée 01:01:35

As a former salon owner and business coach, I am very aware of the ever-evolving business models in the industry and the challenges that these create for some people.

I have often thought about why more salons haven’t tried to grow in the same ways that law firms, accountancy firms, and architecture firms do; by having a partnership model that not only creates a career path and profit sharing for the partners but also allows the company to keep growing.

My guest on today's episode is Blake Evans from Shear Art Salon in Tampa, Florida. Not only do they have a very impressive partnership model, but Blake is happy for me to dig in and ask exactly how it works.

So, in today’s podcast, we will discuss:

How do you decide who will be invited into the partnership program?
How do they buy into the partnership?
How is their shareholding valued?
What happens when partners want to sell their shares?

And lots more!

[03:08] An overview of Blake’s transition from marketing student to hairdresser.

[06:02] Blake’s advice for finding the right salon for you, and why he chose Shear Art.

[11:21] Benefits of a partnership model.

[13:26] Factors that drove the founder of Shear Art to implement a partnership/shareholder model in the salon.

[19:00] What Blake loves about the shareholder model at Shear Art.

[21:11] Blake explains how an employee can become a partner at Shear Art.

[25:53] The different investment options that incoming partners can choose between.

[31:43] Examples of the different roles that are held by Shear Art shareholders.

Épisode 155

mardi 23 août 2022 • Durée 01:07:51

There are a lot of people that will talk about how tough the past couple of years have been, and rightly so in many cases.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 40 years in this industry it is that to succeed you have to continually evolve. You can’t stand still and dine out on yesterday’s glories and you can’t be afraid to continually reinvent and evolve your business…

My guest today very much shares those sentiments. Her name is Mia De Vries, and amongst other things, she is a salon owner, business coach, and founder of ‘The Secret Fox’ online education company.

153 Why Job Titles Matter with Antony Whitaker

Épisode 153

mardi 9 août 2022 • Durée 12:15

Think carefully about the titles that you use to refer to people because everything has a meaning attached to it. Some titles are empowering, while others could be considered demeaning.A listener recently ask me why I use the term “client” instead of “guest” and “hairdresser/stylist” instead of “artist.” So, in response to that question, today’s episode is dedicated to titles.

Whether they are for the people on your team or for those who frequent your business, titles really do matter!

In this Episode:

[00:45] The question that inspired today’s episode.

[01:30] Examples of how terminology differs between countries.

[02:05] The broadly accepted definition of customer.

[02:23] Percentage splits in the responses to my online survery about whether salon owners use the term client, guest, or customer.

[03:09] Factors that influence terminology used in salons.

[03:49] Why I use the term ‘client’ rather than ‘guest’ (or ‘customer’).

[05:08] Why I refer to hairdressers as ‘stylists’ rather than ‘artists.’

[06:45] My preference for the term ‘assistant’ over ‘junior’.

[08:11] Examples of how titles can be used to elevate a position within a salon.

[10:01] An overview of why titles are important.

[10:30] The winner of the Most Fun Title Award (if there was one!).
