If you’ve gotten through Q1 and still aren’t sure how your business is progressing, it’s time for a check-in! Ready to level up? Here are my top 5 ways to work smarter (not harder)!
Raise your prices. Your time matters. Day after day I continue to see far too many Professionals (Beauty and other industries) charging far too little on services that take them 2-3 hours to do. In many cases, because there are only so many hours in the day, at the end of the day, the math ain’t mathin’.
Set (and keep) clear boundaries. If you don’t value your business, why should you expect that anyone else will?
Know your expenses. How much does it cost you to open your doors each month? How much does it cost you to take care of your personal expenses? If you’re making less than you need, you’re going in the hole each month. If you don’t even know how much it really costs, how can you even make a plan to improve?
Remember, 80% of your success as a business owner has nothing to do with your technical ability or your talent. It’s about your confidence, your people skills, your business skills and your Consultation skills.
Invest in yourself. Of course, taking classes and training is a great way to invest, but make sure that you’re:
Taking more than the 'fun' classes about your industry, be sure to add in some business training, as that will take you far.
Take some time to implement what will work for you, as we learn by doing.
Personal development is a critical part of leveling up.
