December 11, 2025Ep. 167: 5 Things I Got Wrong in My Business ... and What I'd Do Differently Now
Salon Boss Mastermind Waitlist: https://www.laurenlappin.com.au/salon-boss-waitlist
In this week's episode your Host Lauren Lappin breaks down the 5 things she got wrong in her Business, and what she'd do differently now.
The 5 Things I Got Wrong in Her Business:
Holding onto the wrong people for too long. (Be them Staff, Service Providers, or even Clients, you need to cut ties with these people as quickly as possible before they drag you down professionally, and personally).
Stayed on the Tools for too long. And held onto control for too long. ("Freedom and control can't coexist" ~ Unknown). (06:30).
"I failed to properly lead my Team, because I wanted so much to be liked" ~ Lauren Lappin. (11:15).
Spending way too much money on skills-based trainings. (The ROI on more and more advanced skills-based trainings was negative in retrospect). (15:00).
Failing to manage my money properly. (19:00).
