Has a situation unfolded that left you thinking, "Why is this happening to me?!"

Just a few years ago, I would have had that exact mindset. I would have blamed everyone and not reflected on the situation, instead taking on a victim mindset.

Recently I experienced a toxic situation and refused to slip back into this mindset. Today I'm sharing my biggest lessons from this situation. I hope this helps you next time you experience something that tests you.

The secret to success is discipline.

It's the small promises you keep and follow through with every single day that will get you far in life and in business.

I think discipline is an overlooked trait and one of the most important traits salon owners & stylists need.

Learn how discipline has changed my life & business and how you can become more disciplined.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in what others are doing, how they're doing it, why they're doing it and watching their success unfold online.

Oftentimes we make decisions based on trends or what others in the industry are doing. But are those decisions true to what we want for ourselves and our business?

Authenticity is important now more than ever, what are you doing to stay authentic?

This week, Sheli Dodaro Hernandez and I discuss why authenticity matters and how it will set you apart.

Is reactivity taking over your business?

You've probably heard of the phrase "flight or fight" at some point, whether it be online or in a psychology class. There's more to reactivity than just fight or flight, and it has a major impact on how you run your business.

Understanding your reactive system takes some time, patience and attention. Once you discover what kind of reactive reaction you have, you can begin to work on shifting your actions when things happen versus letting things unfold on autopilot.

Tune in to this episode to learn more about your reactivity and how you can bring awareness to it!

What kind of success do you want to create for yourself? Have you seriously thought about it?

When I coach salon owners, I oftentimes see a lack of a clear vision.

I mean a vision that is so clear you can rattle off all the tiny details of what you desire, how you want to feel, and what your life and business will look like. Is your vision that clear?

That's why this week, we're doing a visualization exercise to help you craft your vision and know exactly which steps you need to take to get there. So grab a pen and paper and click play!

After spending years coaching salon owners, I've noticed the top thing holding us back is the six inches between our ears... our mindset.

One particular mindset I see stylists and salon owners struggle with is about money.

Fears around not having enough, anxiety around spending money, and other stressors regarding money.

In this week's episode, I want to help you shift your money mindset around money. Money is a tool and resource that we should be grateful for, not an constant source of anxiety.

We've all done it before. We look at someone's post (whether it be about business success, a vacation or something else) and think, "Wow, they're so lucky."

But I want to challenge you to take luck out of the equation.

The truth is that success, especially in business has little to do with luck and all to do with resilience.

In this week's episode of The Elevate Podcast, you'll get a peek into what it's like to work with me in The Elevated Salon Owner Collective.

We discuss how to build resilience as a leader, and why being resilient (and helping your team become more resilient) is imperative.

So stop chalking up other's success to luck.

Remember, social media is the highlight reel, and we don't get to see all the hard times, tough decisions and blood sweat and tears that went into someone else's success.

If you enjoyed this episode & want to improve your mindset and leadership skills, I encourage you to join us in The Collective!

We deep dive into topics just like this every 2 weeks, and you'll join myself & other motivated salon owners in group coaching calls to unpack these topics and see results.

Plus, you receive access to our courses & tangible steps based on each topic to help you see real results in your business.
