Questions this episode answers
Frequently asked questions
Is the money left over at the end my profit?
No. The hosts explain your wage is part of the running cost, and profit is the reward on top for the hours, stress and knowledge you put in. If the business is not set up for profit, you are left with very little and just working.
What mindset do I need to build a profitable salon?
A growth mindset. The hosts say owners with a fixed mindset find it hard to grow, while those with a growth mindset stay open, ask people who know, and find a way to work things out.
