Build Your Salon With Phil Jackson

In this episode, I discuss the importance of salon memberships as a source of predictable income and stability. I recount my own experience with my salon. Despite being booked up, my salon was experiencing losses due to the unpredictability of income. I discuss how implementing salon memberships removed the 'first of the month anxiety' and grew to be a great success. I also discuss my mistakes along the way. Finally, I offer advice and motivation for business owners, encouraging them to go through the training, put their membership together, and then have a quick chat with me before launching.

We've talked about setting your salon prices before - but how do we go about increasing them?

You can't do it all - and neither should you try! Rounding off our discussion on delegation this week. Enjoy that feeling of liveration and share your success! phil@buildyoursalon.com

Delegation is a vital skill for salon owners and there's a limit to what you can achieve on your own. Having no team is not an excuse!! In this episode we unpack some of the reasons why you might be resistant to delegation.

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 a

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

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.

I do a LOT of non-fiction reading.  I love reading the biographies of entrepreneurs and leaders.  And naturally you start to see recurring themes in their message.  One very subtle theme that crops up again and again is how the super-successful feel fulfilled. It seems that at some stage in their career, it isn't enough to make more and more money or gain growing market share.  Almost without exception there comes a time when the most fulfilling thing an entrepreneur can do is to start giving back.  Buffett, Gates, Branson - they all plough millions or even billions back into good causes.  It brings a renewed sense of purpose.  It helps contribute to your "why".
