In This Week's Episode.....PROTECTION

Point #1: Protect Your Mind From Outside Influences

 QUESTION: When you’ve allowed other people’s opinions to impact or influence you about your own industry - and they’re not even in the hair industry -  how does it actually affect you in the salon?

Point #2: Your Circle of Influence Matters

 QUESTION: Who is in your circle of influence?  Are they sucking the life out of you or are they assisting you in your growth? What changes do you feel called to make?

Point #3: Clearing the Path Protects Your Future

- There is another world that you cannot even fathom, a realm beyond whom you are currently giving yourself permission to be as an Artist and businessman or woman, where the excitement, abundance, experience, happiness, and Purpose in your life are so much bigger. Oft times, the only way for us to protect our future is to clear the path in our present moment with relationships and situations that no longer serve us.

- An advocate for growth and change, Coach Ani believes that you can't remain the same person. As hard as it was at the time for her to break off her long-term relationship and engagement, she knew it was the right decision for her and her continued growth. She was willing to throw fucking caution to the wind and say, "Okay. I have no idea how this is going to play out, but I’m gonna fuckin’ try it."

QUESTION: What hard choices are right in front of you that you need to give yourself permission to make?

Point #4: You Are Your Worst Enemy

QUESTION: What do you do when your own mind becomes your greatest enemy? What has become helpful to you as an Artist? 

Point #5: Marketing is a Protection Game

QUESTION: What area are you currently lacking in when it comes to marketing, knowing your numbers, or being an Elite Artist? What changes are you committed to making going forward?

Quote of the Week:

"The marketing game is always changing, so you have to move with the trends. If you can figure out the marketing game and have success with whatever you’re trying to promote, and have figured out that piece of the puzzle, then regardless of where the economy goes, you feel more protected because you know how to market and you know how to rebuild."

-- Danielle White

"You have to know how to market, but you have to have a skillset that you can deliver on a level that will keep a client coming back. Inside our Elite Mastermind, we have implemented something called Power Practice where the students have to make a commitment of practicing daily for 15 minutes. It may not seem like a lot, but what we’ve seen is that by doing that 15 minutes every single day, it elevates their skillset immensely. We are holding our students to a higher standard of work that is worthy of the NBR brand that Danielle created."

-- Valerie Plunk

"Every hard decision you [Danielle] have ever made has not just affected you, Garrett and your children - it’s affected everybody. It affected Val and her marriage and family; it’s affected every aspect of my life. Everything has come about because you had the strength to stand up one day, change everything about your life and say: This isn’t enough. I’m doing more. I’m changing my life."
