The end of the year is always a time to recap and reflect on the year that’s been.  You might choose to do that at a personal or salon level, but you can also look at what’s happening on an industry-wide basis and ask yourself what’s worked during the last year. What are the business trends, and where are the opportunities for the year ahead? On today's episode, I am talking with returning guest Gordon Miller, fellow podcast creator, AI enthusiast and someone who not only cares deeply about the industry but he is also someone who has worked across many areas of the industry and has developed a well-informed and somewhat unique overview particularly when it comes to the American salon industry.   In today’s podcast, amongst other things, we will discuss: ●      The fake news in the salon industry.●      The integration of AI into everything we do.●      The evolving relationship between salons and manufacturers.  And lots more!  IN THIS EPISODE: [02:31] The rise of self-employment in hairdressing[08:21] Work-life balance and mental health post-COVID[09:28] The impact of misinformation in the industry[17:55] Inflation and tipping in the hairdressing industry[26:16] Potential changes with the new government[29:18] Impact of overseas manufacturing and inflation[30:18] Embracing AI in the industry[34:23] AI concierge and salon management[37:51] The evolution of industry events[43:22] Social media trends and strategies[47:21] Retail relationships and profitability[52:14] Predictions for 2025 Want MORE to help you GROW? 📚 Check out our Bestselling GROW Books https://growmysalonbusiness.com/books/ 🆘Management overwhelm!?

Every salon owner wants their business to grow, but many never break down that desire for growth into a tangible action plan for how to bring that real growth about. Growth begins with first defining ambitious but achievable growth targets, identifying who and where the potential for growth will come from and then ensuring that your team has the resources needed to deliver on the goal.  In today’s episode, I talk you through a real example of how one salon owner increased her salon’s annual revenue by $100,000 so that she could pay cash for a new BMW just through an increase in salon hair treatments.   IN THIS EPISODE: [00:57] The Importance of growth in your salon business[02:05] Setting realistic growth goals[03:49] Identifying growth opportunities[04:42] Creating a strategy for predictable growth[05:37] Breaking down the numbers[07:01] Overcoming challenges to achieve growth[09:48] Recap and final thoughts[13:06] Additional resources    Want MORE to help you GROW? 📚Check out our Bestselling GROW Books https://growmysalonbusiness.com/books/ 🆘Management overwhelm!?
