Being a good boss doesn’t mean being everyone’s friend.

I learned this one the hard way.

It took me years to realise that I didn't need to become a tougher boss...

I needed to become a clearer one.

Here's what changed 👇

She thought she needed to make her team busier.

She didn't.

When we looked at the numbers, we found the real problem — and fixing ONE number added £500 a week to the salon's takings.

That's ÂŁ25,000 a year.

Sometimes you don't need to do more.

You just need to find the hole. 👇

We'd just had our best year ever.

The salon was busy.

Money was coming through the till.

From the outside, everything looked great.

Then I sat down with my accountant.

He congratulated me.

“Best year you've ever had.”

Brilliant.

Then he told me I owed $60,000 in tax.

There was just one problem.

I didn't have it.

I'll never forget that feeling.

I'd worked my arse off.

We'd taken more money than we'd ever taken.

Everyone looking at the business probably thought we were doing really well.

And I couldn't pay a bill I should have known was coming.

I felt like a fraud.

But it taught me one of the most important lessons I've ever learned about business:

The money coming through your till isn't your money.

Some belongs to wages.

Some belongs to tax.

Some belongs to stock.

Some belongs to running the salon.

And hopefully, some belongs to you.

Eventually I stopped looking at turnover as the measure of success.

Because I don't care if your salon takes ÂŁ20k, ÂŁ40k or ÂŁ100k a month.

I care how much you keep.

That's something I definitely learned the hard way.

Has this happened to you?

Tomorrow, I want to help you stop guessing.

Bring whatever salon numbers you know and give me an hour.

We'll work out where you are, where you actually need to be, the gap between the two and which number I'd look at changing first.

You don't need to be brilliant with numbers.

That's why we're doing it together.

Your salon probably isn't broken.

But that's how it can feel.

Marketing needs improving.

Rebooking needs improving.

Retail needs improving.

Team need motivating.

Prices need looking at.

Social media needs doing.

Average bill needs increasing.

And before long you've got a list of 25 things you're supposed to fix.

I don't believe that's the answer.

Most salons I look at are already doing plenty of things well.

The trick isn't finding everything you could improve.

It's finding the thing that's actually holding the business back.

Because sometimes moving one number changes everything.

So stop trying to fix your whole salon.

Find the number that's holding it back.

That's exactly what we're going to do together on Monday.

Bring whatever numbers you've got.

We'll work out where you are, where you need to be, the gap between the two and where I'd look first to close it.

Same problem. Very different ending.

Both salon owners knew their businesses were losing money.

But knowing “I’m not making enough” isn’t the same as knowing why.

Once you know exactly what’s holding the business back, you can make a decision and do something about it.

Your problem might be wages.

It might be clients.

It might be rebooking.

It might be your average bill.

But first, you need to know.

If you don’t, come and work it out with me.

I don't care if your salon is fully booked.

There. I said it.

I've met salon owners who are incredibly proud that they're booked solid for weeks.

And they should be proud of building that demand.

But here's the question I always ask:

Are you making any money?

Because being fully booked isn't the same as being profitable.

Neither is having a big team.

Neither is doing ÂŁ500k a year.

Neither is having thousands of Instagram followers.

Those things can all be brilliant.

But if you take ÂŁ100 and ÂŁ99 disappears again...

you've built yourself a very busy job.

I'd rather see a salon doing less turnover and keeping a healthy profit than a huge salon where the owner lies awake worrying about wages.

Turnover is vanity if nothing is left.

On Monday, we're going to stop looking at how "busy" your salon looks and start working out what it actually needs to produce.

What if the problem isn’t as big as it feels?

Being £500 a week short is over £25,000 a year. That’s serious money.

But ÂŁ500 could also be just 5 extra ÂŁ100 clients a week.

And you might not even need more clients. Your answer could be getting existing clients back sooner or moving your average bill by a few pounds.

You don’t know how close you are until you know your number.

If you don’t know yours, come and work it out with me.

One of the worst pieces of advice you can give a struggling salon is:

"You just need more clients."

Maybe they do.

But maybe they're already busy.

Maybe their rebooking is good.

Maybe the team are producing 3x their wage.

And maybe adding another 20 clients just makes an already busy salon... busier.

I've seen this firsthand.

Sometimes the answer isn't another client.

It could be getting the clients you've already got back sooner.

It could be moving the average bill by a few pounds.

It could even be that you're already taking enough money and the problem is what you're spending.

Resulting in the same problem: "There's never enough money."

But completely different solutions.

That's why I believe:

Diagnose before you prescribe.

On Monday, I'm running a free workshop where we'll work out your number, find your gap and start figuring out which number I'd work on first.

Break-even isn't the number we're looking for.

It's great to know what your salon needs to take to survive.

But what does it need to take to pay you properly, build profit, create some security and actually reward you for owning it?

That's the number I want you to know.

And if you don't know it yet, come and work it out with me.
