In previous broadcasts, I've talked to you about how to motivate your team and recruit the best people to help grow your business. But this video will be different.  I'll talk more about how we can shift the focus and help you stay motivated. Motivation is one of the key aspects of succeeding in any kind of business. However, there may be instances that you may find it hard staying motivated. As a business owner it's only normal for you to face different challenges on a daily basis. This makes it even harder to stay energised and motivated. We've all had that experience where we lose focus due to the obstacles we're facing. Remember how it used to be? Do you remember all that energy you had when you were starting out?  That feeling of restlessness and excitement all packed in one?  And how you felt a surge of motivation going through you as if you're never going to get demotivated. In the beginning, it's only natural for you to be focused on growing your business. You were able to accomplish a lot of things at a very limited time.  Results were fast.  However, after being able to successfully stabilise the business, many encounter the problem of staying motivated. To be blunt, as an entrepreneur, it's important that you seek out motivation on a daily basis.  You need to constantly look for things and people that will inspire you.  Staying motivated as a business owner will not only help you become successful, it'll also help you grow your team.  In short, you have to keep at it against all odds. In this video, I give you about 3 things you can do to stay motivated as a business owner.  What's more, not only will these tips help you become motivated but will also help you power through tough situations.

I spend most of my time traveling and consulting with salon owners. Most of these clients ask for good,  profitable financial strategies. In this video, I will talk about tiered pricing and how you should leverage this tool to get better profits, give more value to your customers and provide your employees with a better way to build clientele. Most salon owners don't see the value in tiered pricing.  To be blunt, this is why some of these businesses fail. You have to remember that a big part of running the business you deserve, is generating the profits you deserve. You have to consistently revisit your pricing structure.  And see if you're leaving money on the table.  While you create an environment where employees strive for something more. Tiered pricing isn't just about gaining the profits your business deserves. It is also about being able to carefully provide recognition to your employees who are excelling. You are also able to provide loyal employees with incentives that will continue to motivate them into providing good services. Additionally, it also addresses the injustice that high performing employees may feel when they charge the same rate as less experienced employees. Show your employees that you have a clear vision for them.  That you want them to progress in this industry.  It will work wonders for a growing business! Here I want to give you the top 3 reasons why I think you should be introducing tiered pricing into your hair or beauty salon.

We get the same message again and again.  Know your "one thing".  Focus, and stay focused.  Be determined.  When everyone else makes 10 calls, make 20.  Stay the course.  Commit fully and never give up. But surely, there has to come a time when you question whether your "one thing" is the right thing?  Being persistent and taking strong consistent action is great - but what if you're pushing hard in the WRONG direction?  Just HOW persistent do you have to be before you finally wash your hands and walk away?  Here are my thoughts.  As always, I'd love to hear yours too.
