The Grow Your Salon Fast Show

We take a deviation from telling you what you should be doing in your salon business, as Kat reveals some very deep and personal about her own failures in her business. Why we don't like getting help, and why we should. It's quite a tera-jerker this episode, but Vegard keeps it real with questions about his wiener.

Vegard is happy, very happy, it appears he likes following 6-year-olds to school. He's also been locked in a dark room, doing something with a torpedo. Kat thinks it should've been a permanent solution.

Someone asks the wrong question about how much time you should spend marketing your salon business.

And Kat gives away a massive piece of value at the end, stay tuned for that nugget, it might just save your salon.

Recruiting staff and pricing your services. Two seemingly separate things but actually have a lot in common. Want to know how to both successfully? This is the podcast for you. And we'll throw in some top tips about husky dog sled riding and dogs barking. Random, but fun. Oh, and there's another shout out this week. Is it you?

Vegard is getting all hipster (or is that hamster?) and growing a beard, whilst Kat is getting feisty, fighting with the bin men. It's not all anger and angst though as we point out what's wrong with 99.9999% of websites and why they're pushing customers away rather than attracting them in.

Vegard and Kat take on a neo-punk from Devon, UK who speaks fluent Japanese but teaches Japanese to speak English. Confused? Us too. We take on the fabulous Julian Northwood-Kitagawa and discover why learning a language is just like running a salon. It is. Truly. And how you can get more wins just by pretending to be confident. This is Part 2 of a 2-part episode.

Why do people lie? There are four main reasons. Find out if any relate to you in this episode. And then once you know, find out how you can use it to your advantage. Not by lying of course...

And then there's the 3 questions you can ask yourself that will really challenge the way you think about your business and turn it around, if you dare...

In this sparkling episode Kat reveals how she got groin strain, Vegard tells how the earth shook for him and we both wonder why people buy books and don't read them. We also delve into the puzzling reason salon, spa and clinic owners don't do things that work to get more clients, get better ones, and be more successful.

What do dog treats and clinics have in common? And how do you know which one is the one for you (or your dog). If you thought last week's episode was rambling, this one wins hands (or paws) down. Kat has officially lost the plot and Vegard gives away his family. Hedgehogs make an appearance as does a random washing machine. And you can find out how your ideal clients find you.

It's a bit of a rambling mess of orange backpacks, school uniforms, furry pencil cases and snow on your outdoor furniture, but...

... we do get to a point somewhere. And it's a damn good one. It's a question you don't get asked often, if at all, and it's critical to your salon, spa or clinic success, even if your answer is "I don't remember". Listen in to find out the answer to "Why?"
