This is the episode I never thought I’d record.
After 16 years of running my award-winning salon, I’ve had to make one of the hardest business decisions of my life, to close its doors.
Just weeks before moving to Dubai, I received notice that the building was being sold. What followed was shock, heartbreak, and a huge test of resilience.
In this raw and honest conversation, I open up about the reality behind closing a long-standing business, how I supported my team through redundancies, and the unexpected lessons it’s taught me about focus, letting go, and growth.
If you’re a salon owner, educator, or coach building your next chapter, this episode will remind you that sometimes the universe forces a pivot, not to break you, but to redirect you.
In this episode, I share:
What really happened when I got the call to vacate my salon
The emotional reality of letting go of your first business
How I navigated redundancy and looked after my team
Why multiple income streams saved me (and how to build them the right way)
The power of focus and how it led to a £200k launch in my coaching business
Why resilience is the number one skill every entrepreneur needs
UPDATE: THE SALON BUILDING WAS SOLD IN THE END AND THE TEAM WAS EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE. THE TEAM WAS GIVEN THE CLIENTS TO SET UP THEIR OWN BUSINESSES & THOSE THAT WANTED JOBS WE HELPED. COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER TEAM DURING THIS TIME. UNFORTUNATELY CLOSING THE SALON CAME WITH A LOT OF TROLLING WHICH I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH.
