This episode is for anyone with a client based business- but it’s especially for my stylists/beauty industry professionals! “Buy this course and learn how to fill your books!” ... “How would it feel to never have to worry about filling your schedule ever again??”.... these are the types of benchmarks that the service based industry uses to make us feel successful. Again- as if being busy and packed to the gills with clients is a necessary badge of honor (& the only way to claim success, aka money 💰 🥴). Well... I’m back with another unpopular opinion 😏 I do not believe that a full schedule = success! In fact- i really advise my clients to lean into working LESS and clearing space for more free time (the details of how this works can be an entire other episode lol). Does this mean turning people away? Perhaps. I mean, it sure as hell means sticking to your boundaries and implementing a schedule that works for you. So (for example) if that means Rebecca wants to get in “ASAP” for her balayage.... and your soonest appt is 6 weeks out... looks like Rebecca is gonna have to (gasp) wait! (Trust me- she will live.) OR maybe you have a gap in your day next Tuesday and are stressing about whether or not you will be able to fill it...... can you take that time for yourself?? Can you shift your mindset from from “oh shit 😧” to “aw shiiiiieeettttt 😏 💃 “..... because honestly, what are you actually worried about? So much untrue crap can come up when when we are judging ourselves! SO. Let’s lean into creating a business that can sustain itself even if we have a “slow” week and/or decide that maybe we don’t wanna be strapped into working 10+ hours a day! How does that land? Feel a little edgy? I’m sure it does for many of you- and that’s ok.
