Too many great people enter our business but end up quitting before they have had a chance to succeed-usually before the 5 year mark! Why is that? They get Burned-Out! Anyone who has been in the industry for as long as I have knows that our job is 80% interpersonal and 20% technical. You simply have to have the skills to communicate well or you will end up poor and dissatisfied with your job It's simple really, If you don't know what the clients are really asking for, you can't give it to them! Our industry needs a wake-up call! Ask me what time! I often see that while there is so much emphasis on Business and Technical skills no one wants to address the “People Skills” piece of the puzzle!

He told us how important it is for salon owners to own your building. Too many of us cant sell our salons when its time to retire - but you can sell a building. We plan to retire soon and will sell our salon to our employees. We'll finance the sale and get montly payment likely till we die (if we are lucky) - but the rent on the building we own free and clear will be what pays for our retirement. God bless Michael Cole wherever he is. My big idea came from Michael Cole many years ago. He told us how important it is for salon owners to own your building.
