Goal setting as a hairstylist isn’t about chasing arbitrary benchmarks or comparing yourself to others—it’s about creating a vision for your life and building a business that supports it. In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter breaks down a simple yet powerful framework for setting meaningful goals that align with what you truly want, without getting bogged down by anyone else’s “shoulds.”

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The Foundation of Goal Setting: Why your goals should start with your personal vision, not someone else’s standards.
• How to Align Your Business with Your Life Goals: The critical questions you need to ask to ensure your business supports what matters most to you.
• The Power of Focus: Why honing in on a few key metrics (KPIs) can create massive impact without overwhelming you.
• How to Avoid the Comparison Trap: Why your growth percentage or benchmarks shouldn’t be dictated by others.

Why It Matters:
Setting goals for your business without a clear reason behind them is like driving without a destination—it might look productive, but it won’t get you where you truly want to go. This episode is all about breaking free from the pressure of arbitrary standards and creating goals that make sense for YOUR life and business.

Hunter’s no-nonsense approach will help you focus on what really matters: a plan that’s rooted in your personal priorities and backed by intentional, measurable actions.
