~ Brian Tracy

Whether you are a hairstylist, nail tech, or esthetician, the single most important management skill you can learn and practice is how to set goals. Setting goals will do more than anything else to help you achieve what you want in your career and in your life.

If you wish to fulfill your potential as nail techs, hairstylists and as a human being, then you absolutely must know how to set and achieve goals.

“What do you want your future to be?”

As a creator of beauty, you’re an artist. You make others look and feel their best. Serving your clients is also how you make your living. Let’s apply the art of goal setting to think through some income goals that will benefit you and your family.

HOW TO DESIGN YOUR LIFE ON YOUR OWN TERMS:

Start with a goal for your total income. If you could design your future to be whatever you want it to be, what would it look like? How much income will you need to live your desired lifestyle?

Next, think about how much you want to save and invest. What would you like to donate to a worthwhile cause? Create your timeline to design the life you dream about. Set target income goals for the next 6 months, then 1 year, and then 3 years from now. How much income do you need and want to make?

Certainly, there’s more to being a beauty professional than earning a living. But in this world, you can’t get too far without it. If you think clearly about what you want, and the steps you must take to get there, you’re much more likely to achieve it.

As hairstylists and nail techs, you have 3 main ways to increase your income:

1. The number of clients you have

2. How frequently they come in

3. How much they spend on services and products each visit

Here’s something worth thinking about…

What if you brought in twice as many new clients a week as you do now? Or if you turned more of those new clients into repeat customers? What additional services might you offer? Have you built enough value for what you do to raise prices? How well do you COMMUNICATE that value?

One thing you could do to increase your income is to sell more beauty products. This may not be an option for you right now, based on the rules of your current salon. One of the real advantages of running your business from a Salon Plaza Studio is being able to sell products to your clients and help them keep looking their best in between visits.

Of course, to increase your income, you also need to pay attention to COSTS. A Salon Plaza Member has a wonderfully simplified advantage of having fewer costs to think about: just the lease, product costs, marketing and professional skills development.

Imagine NO employees or booth renters to pay, NO utility or maintenance costs!

Before you go, give some thought to one more question. What is your single biggest opportunity to grow your business right now?  Is it to…

 Attract more clients?

 Build loyalty?

 Sell more products?

 Add new services?

 Charge more?

These are just a few of the actions you can take right now to increase your income and grow. Of course, it’s one thing to want to grow your clientele and income, it’s another thing entirely to make it happen.

Would you like a step-by-step recipe of HOW to increase your income to reach… rather, EXCEED your goals? A system to help you discover your specific strengths and identify the steps to make your dreams become real?

Succeeding as hairstylists & nail techs is not a matter of luck, circumstances, or fate.

“People with goals succeed because they know where they are going. It’s as simple as that.” – Earl Nightingale
