Summary

You know you want to get off the tools, but how do you actually do it without your business running in the red? Do you worry that your team will resent you for not being on the floor, or that your business won't survive without your service revenue? What if I told you that the most successful, profitable salons are led by owners who have the capacity to lead, and that means getting out from behind the chair?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the exact math you need to get off the floor, still make a great living, and help your team make more money, too. I'll even give you a realistic timeline for how long it will take you to get there.

This isn't about taking advantage of your team, it's about building a business that creates abundance for everyone. If you're an owner feeling stuck, this episode is your roadmap to freedom!
