The High Performance Stylist Podcast

We have just kicked off HPS Boot Camp and although most people sign-up with the understanding we are going to feed them the systems and strategies to building a highly lucrative salon (and we do), its not where we start!

You see, before you start any type of "journey" you must know where you are going! We need to figure out the destination and be crystal clear before we give you the "vehicle" thats going to take you there.

So the first day begins with a very blunt question, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

WHY are you in business? WHAT makes you leap out of bed each day? and WHEN do you hope to arrive there?

It's extremely important we start with these questions. In this episode, I explain why...

Thanks for listening,

David.

P.S If any of you have any challenges in your business that you would like me to cover on the podcast, please know you can always reach out o me on Facebook or Instagram @highperformancestylist 

"Coaches" of all descriptions seem to popping up everywhere since the invention of the internet.

It use to be that coaches or consultants were only available for the Fortune 500 companies or businesses that were turning over Millions in revenue.

Hiring a business coach was unheard of if you were a small, private business like a hair salon. But now there has been a "shift" and coaching has become a topic of conversation for salon owners and many other small businesses.

So the question now becomes, "How do I know a good coach from a bad one?"  "What do they really do?" and "How do I know if I even need one?"

So let me walk you through my experience of having a coach to help me with my business and life challenges. Then I'll explain how we operate in HPS and bring great value to the salons we coach.

This is also the last opportunity you will have to join HPS Boot Camp! We will be slamming the doors on Sunday and hitting the ground running on Monday.

You can still reserve your seat for the best 2 weeks of business coaching available in our industry by going to www.hpsbootcamp.com 

Thanks as always for listening!

This is not a new conversation, but it also doesn't seem to be going anywhere either.

All I seem to hear is complaining about how the apprentices of today are not like they use to be or how the youth expect everything yesterday and have no patience.

This type of negative conversation is not serving anyone because we end up in the same predicament.

So what needs to happen?

Is it really the end of the apprenticeship or can it possibly evolve and have a new lease of life?

Let's talk about it... 

OH!!!!! Can you believe we are just a week away from the start of HPS Boot Camp!

You are leaving it to the final hour if you haven't registered for the team yet!

It's kind of NOW OR NEVER because currently we have no plans for another Boot Camp this year!

Most salon owners find out the hard way that they're not charging enough. 

It can often be too late because one of the most difficult things to do in business is to dramatically raise your prices once you've set them in place!

So we need to figure out the right price to charge that also leaves money in the bank at the end of the week.

Also, should I include things like blow drys with my highlight price?

Should it be a better deal to get 2 services together like a cut & colour, than having them separately?

If these are questions you ask yourself all the time, have a listen and let me give you the "Golden Rule" to charging the right prices!

I know I've reminded you a MILLION times... but HPS BOOT CAMP begins in a weeks time! 

We are getting close to CRUNCH TIME! Grab your ticket before we close the doors... Go to www.hpsbootcamp.com TODAY!

This was a LIVE coaching call with one of our HPS members, Kirsty Mooney.

Kirsty is from Ireland and has had her salon for over 4 years. Her challenge is getting her team motivated to hit commission so she can increase their pay cheques!

I know this is a common challenge for many salon owners, especially when they have new stylists that don't realise the opportunity they have in front of them.

Unless this problem is quickly resolved the stylist becomes unmotivated and even lazy due to the "false" belief of thinking "IS THIS IT?"

Listen to this coaching call as I walk Kirsty through the methods I used in my own salon and also in many other salons when faced with this problem.

If you find this helpful and would like to learn many more of the systems that have lead to massive success for hundreds of salons, join us for HPS Boot Camp!

This 2 week, online program will transform the way you run your business and give you results you never thought possible!

When I say that your "front of house" can make you or break you, I'm NOT exaggerating.

But finding the perfect person for this role can be one of the biggest challenges facing us as owners.

It took me over 3 years of wading through less than adequate guys and gals looking for something to "tide them over" until they found a better job, before I hired my dream person!

So what changed, what did I do differently?

Have a listen, take some notes and be ready to find that person that will TRANSFORM your business and maybe even help with those sleepless nights!

And if you haven't joined the team yet, HPS Boot Camp begins in less than 2 weeks, time is running out! Grab your seat and be ready for the best 2 weeks of business coaching available in our industry!

Firstly, if you have never had the opportunity to visit Dubai, it's a MUST!

So uniquely beautiful, such incredible architecture, such amazing customer service and such friendly and welcoming people!

This was my first visit but it certainly won't be my last!

In this episode I talk about the differences in service and culture that makes the Dubai salons so unique and how we can easily learn and apply some of these differences to our own businesses to stand-out head & shoulders above our competitors.

I also talk about the amazing community between salon owners, that has formed in this beautiful city and how they have realized that when they "have each other back" and share in ideas and education, they all grow together!

I hope you enjoy this episode because the last 4 days will be a time I will never forget!

A very special thank you to Emma Baron from Pro Beauty, Emma and Damian Morgan from The Ted Morgan Salon, Maria Dowling & Ruksher Malik for making me feel so welcomed and for all the inspiring conversations we had together!

I'm just planning for 2 presentations I'm about to give for Pro Beauty in Dubai.

When I plan a presentation, it always makes me think of the reasons people may not implement the things I'm teaching. We call these limiting beliefs.

This is the little voice in out head that says, "That will never work in our salon", or, "My team would never agree to that", or "I've tried that already and it didn't work".

It's important that I address these "limiting beliefs" during my presentation, so that people leave feeling confident and start seeing the results I want them to have!

In this episode I give you the answer to probably the biggest limiting belief I come across, "My team won't do what I ask, so why even bother trying!"

If you have had challenges getting your team "onboard" with new systems or culture changes, then check out this episode. This is how I managed to get 100% of my team, to at least try a new approach whenever I asked.

What are the pro's and con's of a business partner?

Plus, how do I know if this person will be a good business partner/ How do I make sure we don't end up in a bitter legal battle?

These are questions I hear all the time.

The good news is that there is an answer.

Although you can never guarantee that a partnership (of any description) will be a match made in heaven forever, you can safe guard yourself and give yourself a much higher expectancy of making it a success!

As you probably know, Nicole and I are business partners as well as life partners. But we had some very strict guidelines that we followed before we embarked on our business journey together.

In this episode I walk you through these guidelines and let you know the signs of when its time to take on a partner and how to know it's the right kind of partner.
