Attitude.. the key to success behind the chair

Well, I don't know about you but it took a week for me to shake off the holidays and things are starting to feel normal again. And as the hangover of negativeness in the media seems to be somewhat calming down. I'm starting to remember a time when Hairdressers and other Salon Professionals used to genuinely enjoy what we do for a living every day
(yes I know you still love it, but I mean have fun at it too).

So now that we have another chance at another year, lets choose to prosper by "loving what we do every day"!!
Recently I was speaking to a group of about 200 Salon Professionals and the lecture was about strategies to grow referral business. Just then something became more obvious than ever.
Most of the people in the room where never going to go home and use any of our suggestions, and the ones that actually do have the willingness, don't really need us anyway.
What I realized was winning salon professionals have a winning attitude. It hit me like a ton of bricks!!
Some of the most successful salon professionals in the world are not necessarily the best! So, whats the difference?? Attitude!!

Attitude:
A mental state involving feelings and values
A position of the body or manner of carrying oneself.

Hmmm, Feelings and Values. Let me ask you, how are you feeling about your business or your clients or yourself?

Are you valuing every opportunity for what it's worth?

Are you valuing yourself ??

Are you valuing your time ?

Are you just coming into work day in and day out and being to busy to set some time aside to make real money !?!

Too busy to set some real career and financial goals ?

Too busy to decide what you want your clientele to look like and what actions you need to take to make that reality ?

Most salon professionals bought the dream, and live the nightmare!
Some salon professionals are having the time of their lives these past couple of years, while most where wondering where have all of my clients gone??
Time after time the person with the right attitude will win business over the one who piss and moan about how bad things are!!

So ask yourself, How do I feel about my business? and be honest!! What kind of experience have I been giving my clients?

Because this year clients are choosing to spend their time and money in places where they feel appreciated. They want to go to the hairdresser, nail tech, massage therapist that says I LOVE MY CAREER!! Is that you?!?! You have to make the choice!

Thank You so much for your time and reading this blog..

In my next blog we will take a look at some key actions that you can take to accelerate the growth and development of your dream clientele!!
