Grow My Salon Business Podcast

Antony Whitaker

I know that being in business isn’t always easy. Along with the many highs and ‘a ha’ moments it can sometimes be soul destroying, frustrating and a very lonely place to be. Being a business owner is one of life’s greatest educations and it gives you two clear choices, either you continually learn, adapt and grow, or you resist change, stagnate and perish. We live in ever changing and sometimes challenging times, so being informed and constantly inspired is more important than ever. Join Antony

For many salon owners, January is a time of the year when they’re getting the team refocused for the year ahead. Because traditionally, January is a time of new beginnings.

Being in business isn’t easy in fact, “Being in business is hard, and it’s not about to get easy, so stop waiting for it to!”Having said that, being in business brings with it opportunities for personal and professional growth, a sense of control and opportunities for financial gain as well as the flip side of financial gain, which is obviously ‘financial loss’. And it's the financial side of running a business, which is typically the weak spot for salon owners everywhere, so in today's

I have always said that hairdressing is an amazing craft and that many hairdressers also have a creative side to them, which is often what draws them to this profession in the first place. But the term artist shouldn’t be used to describe every hairdresser because very few are. But occasionally, you come across a hairdresser who truly is an artist. An individual who consistently shows a level of creativity that separates them from the rest. My guest today is Angelo Seminara, who is,

But there’s a problem, and the problem is that often, the reason that they can’t step away from behind the chair is because they’re the salon's number one earner.So what’s the
