Today’s topic is one that I’ve never covered on the podcast before, and that is how to find your North Star, and what the heck does that even mean? This episode was inspired by a question from a new Thriver who is trying her best to go through the modules as quickly as possible and do the work, but is looking for more guidance on her North Star, which is what I want to provide her (and you) today.  Remember, when you’re asking how to create a North Star, the reason why you’re struggling is because you’re likely doing it right. This concept and process is deep, and I hope what I share in this episode gives you guidance on your own journey to find your North Star!  If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question. I’m looking forward to doing more of these types of episodes on the podcast! If you’re not already following us, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for? This is where I share pro tips every single week, along with winning strategies, testimonials, and amazing breakthroughs from my audience. You’re not going to want to miss out on this!

#268 - How Do I Pinpoint My North Star?

The beauty industry has changed dramatically in the last 10 years.  

The days of hoping your good reputation and referrals was enough to grow or maintain your clientele died out and successful stylists today need a real marketing strategy.

It's actually never been easier to grow a clientele as a hair stylist or a business as a salon owner, yet stylists are giving up or struggling more often than they are thriving in this incredible industry.  

When I was first building my clientele, I realized immediately that nobody was teaching true business skills and long term strategies to stylists or salon owners.  What good is a license and an entrepreneurial passion without the skills and knowledge to actually make big things happen?

The Thriving Stylist podcast is a collection of interviews from super successful but not yet famous stylists, one-on-one coaching opportunities and actionable, strategic marketing techniques that you can use in your business today to see real results.

I'm Britt Seva, Social Media & Marketing Strategist for Hair Stylists and I look forward to helping you to create a wealthy life as a stylist.

#332 - Commission structures that work today

I’ve been speaking about what I call “The Great Divide” for years now, and let me tell you, we are in it!

#329 - Breaking Down the Pre-Booking Negative Impact

There are critical challenges and opportunities facing educators in the current landscape in our industry, and we often get caught up following influencers and then try to recreate what they’re doing to get to the same place they’re at. This is why I wanted to bring you an entire episode focusing on what I would do if I were building as an educator today.
