Beauty Salon and Spa Business Plans – Are they Worth It?
Posted by: | Comments
I need to you be honest here.
1. Have you ever written a beauty salon/spa business plan?
2. If so – did you stick to it?
Contrary to pretty much every piece of advice you’ll ever get, I submit to you that business plans are a complete waste of time...
You might as well get a big fat marker pen, scribble a load of garbage of some A4 paper, staple it together and put it on a shelf instead.
It’s a hell of a lot quicker and just as useful.
If you’re yet to open your beauty salon, hair salon, nail salon or spa and are looking for financing then you may well be thinking I’ve lost my marbles.
There’s no way a bank will lend you money without a beauty salon business plan!
Possibly true.
But having that beauty salon business plan isn’t the answer.
What a bank wants to know is:
1. Are you worthy of credit.
2. Can you get enough customers to pay it back????
And the best way to demonstrate that it is to PROVE you KNOW how to get as many clients as you’ll ever need!
They don’t care what your beauty salon MISSION statement is – nor does anyone else but you.
They don’t care about graphs with this line going here and this line going here and if I change this, this one goes here.
Waste ‘a time —-…..
So instead you need to go about DEMONSTRATING you KNOW how to get all these lovely clients who will pay you handsomely for your high quality treatments and products.
How do you do that?
Well, if you don’t know how to do it yet you need to ‘hook up’ with someone like me who will show you how.
And if you haven’t yet accepted your free gifts then hurry. The offer will be changing VERY soon and the big pile of free stuff is going to replaced with something else.
I’ve given you long enough to get it…

Back soon,

Let’s Remember Michael Jackson as the Genius He Was
Posted by: | CommentsThis morning was a terrible battle.
I was up at 5am and a notification popped up on my laptop that Michael Jackson had passed away.
Tracey was still fast asleep.
She is a legendary Jackson fan.
I felt too sad for her to wake her.
Whatever you think of Michael – yes he was a little odd.
No-one can deny his genius, his talents and his unbelievable ability to achieve.
I’m sure we can ALL learn something from him.
May he rest in peace.
Henry.

3 Ways to Have More YOU Time
Posted by: | CommentsDo you remember those long lazy days in the school summer holidays?
Get up when you fancy.
Watch endless hours of cartoons.
Build an action man camp or two (or at leadt that’s what I’d do).
Head round to your friends house and dig through their toys.
Not a care in the world.
And more spare time than we could throw a stick at.
But not now!
Nowadays it seems like every day has been chopped in three and cut down to just 8 hours to eat, sleep, work and play.
There just never seems to be enough time to get everything done.
Here’s a sobering thought…
A 35 year old has approximately 40 years left to achieve what they want to achieve.
Approximately 480 months.
That’s only about 14,400 days.
And only about 230,000 waking hours.
By the time you take out holidays, weekends, time for eating and all the other stuff we have to do you’d be left with something like 50,00o hours.
ONLY 50,000 hours.
That really doesn’t seem like a lot.
If you want to earn just £10 million in those years then every single hour needs to equate to around £200!
But here’s my point.
We don’t have that much time – and any one of us could have a LOT less than we hope.
So – we need to make every single second count.
And not just for business but for all the other things in life.
I’m not a believer in money for the sake of money.
But, I am a beliver in money for the sake of freedom.
Money gives us the opportunity to stop worrying, stop working (if we so wish) and get out into the big wide world and enjoy it.
SO…
We need to make the absolute best use of every single second…
Every single minute has to count.
Here are three ESSENTIAL things to do to make best use of your time in your salon or spa.
1. LIMIT access to you. Check email ONCE a day. Do NOT take phone calls unless pre-booked. Do not have salon/spa meetings unless they cannot be avoided. Do NOT run an open door policy (there’s nothing worse).
2. Choose the BIGGEST rocks. Always be working on the MOST important tasks at hand. The ones which will bring the BIGGEST results. Most stuff you do DOES NOT need to be done. You haven’t got time to do it all.
3. Write down exactly what you’ll be doing tomorrow TONIGHT and then do it tomorrow. ALL OF IT.
Do those three things and you’ll get more done in a day in your salon or spa than most get done in a month.
There are endless more ways to whizz up more time – but commit to these three first.

Susan Boyle and Your Salon or Spa
Posted by: | CommentsMy dad had no qualifications.
None whatsoever.
He was raised in South London and took pleasure in putting sand in teachers cars through the petrol cap, bouncing cars to different spots in the car park so teachers couldn’t find them, placing cling film across toilet bowls and generally being a ’scallywag’.
With no qualifications he had to scrape, crawl and fight his way to the upper echelons of management in a corporate company over many, many years.
So from a young age he distilled into myself and four brothers just how important education is.
How you must have qualifications to succeed in anything.
I 100% agree with him about the education bit (although not the useless ‘dribble’ that’s taught at school) but completely disagree with the qualification bit. I did very well at school, college and university but if I had that time back I’d would not be there…
How many qualifications you have just isn’t important anymore.
It DID used to be.
But not anymore.
We are now living in a ‘celebrity’ driven society.
No longer does the salon or spa owner with the most qualifications, best trained staff win…
Instead the one who is deemed a ‘celebrity’ wins.
Think about the ‘handymen’ on programmes like ‘DIY SOS’ – they’re no better than any other carpenter.
Think about the ‘celebrity chefs’ – are they any better than the others?
Think about Susan Boyle! Yes, she is a fantastic singer – BUT, is she any better than her peers?
The answer is of course NO.
And it doesn’t just apply to big celebs.
It’s 100% true for local, regional and national salons and spas too.
Any salon owner, any salon business or spa business that gets media coverage is instantly whizzed to a place of credibility, celebrity and success.
There can be NO denying it.
So how do you get this ‘celebrity’ status in your salon or spa??
We’ll talk more about that another time.
Dedicated to your success,
Henry.
