It's an exciting time when you're ready to expand, but are you truly prepared for the financial side of things? Let's explore the crucial spa business metric you need to keep an eye on before taking the leap.

It's easy to get swept up in the excitement of growth plans, but have you checked your financial reports to see if your business can handle the upcoming costs and expenses?

Now I see where the opportunity gaps are with my sales!!”

Now the question is “How do I increase Productivity”

I would love to answer that for you! It’s a big topic and I’ll make that for another podcast.
