On this episode of the Spapreneur® Podcast, we’re focusing on the next part in our excuses series - “I can’t hire staff.” Ramona dives into this topic and how it had affected in your business.

There is a epidemic of not being able to find staff. We’ve experienced it in my own business - we want to hire 10 massage therapists and at least two more front desk staff. But like a lot of you we are having problems just getting people to show up. 

But you can’t use a lack of not having a staff be an excuse because there are things you can do to get people to work for you.
