Rapid Business Growth: In just 2.5 years, Janelle doubled her salon’s revenue, growing from 10 employees to 21. This growth came through leadership development, building systems, and hiring the right people.

Personal Development as a Leader: Janelle embraced leadership training by reading books, listening to podcasts, and investing in her personal growth. She recognized that to lead her team effectively, she had to become the best version of herself.

Overcoming Self-Doubt: Once Janelle made the decision to buy the salon, she committed fully, pushing through doubts and fears, including the challenge of leading with confidence as a new mother.

Building a Leadership Team: Janelle focused on hiring leaders with strengths that complemented her weaknesses. She delegated key responsibilities, such as team promotions and competitions, to leverage others' skills.

Shifting to a Team-Driven Culture: Janelle restructured her business by creating systems and a clear career path for employees. She prioritized employee growth and empowered them to take ownership of their roles.

Accountability Systems for Growth: She implemented systems for expectations, accountability, and consistent enforcement. By setting clear rules and addressing issues head-on, she was able to foster a higher-performing team.

Empowering Her Team: Janelle learned the power of delegation, encouraging her team to create and execute their own plans. This shift from micromanagement to trust allowed her to lead with impact rather than control.

Profit-Boosting Strategies: Two of her biggest profit wins included charging credit card fees to offset costs and separating parts and labor costs, both of which significantly impacted her salon's bottom line.

The Power of Support and Coaching: After realizing she had reached her growth limit, Janelle sought support from the High Performance Salon Academy (HPSA). This move enabled her to refine her leadership skills, build structure, and continue her salon’s growth trajectory.
