Have you ever felt lost? Wondering if what you're doing on a day to day basis is really making any difference at all? What was your Vision for your business? Did you ever have one? Was it written down? And if so, can you find it and remind yourself, "This is what I wanted when I started (as a Stylist or Salon Owner)! I find so many people in business, really don't have a clear idea of what they want their business to ultimately look like. Then they try to run their business and they're very clear about some things they don't want, which just leads to frustration because without a clear Vision, you nor your team really know what to do!
Last Monday I conducted a "$ecrets of Million Dollar Salons" class for Salon Owners and the design of the class was for it to be intimate and for each Salon Owner to leave with a 'game plan' for their salon! One of the main things we focused on was "What is your Vision for your Salon?" That is your 'NorthStar'! It is such a critical piece and it can easily get lost in the day to day activities and frustrations of running a business.
A Vision or 'NorthStar' really is the guiding force of any business and it only makes a difference if it's 1) in your heart, not just your mind, 2) is crystal clear and easy for you to convey (so other people can really visualize it and/or feel it when you talk about it), 3) the people that you work with know it. And the only way that they can know it, is if you express it and not just in words, but in the way you conduct your business on a day to day basis. And the other essential thing is that the people on your team must also embrace it! So when you get off course (and you will - it's just the way life is designed), you all have a clear direction to focus you and get you back on track, heading for what you really want!
So I encourage you to take the time to reconnect with your 'NorthStar' and start to figure out, which way is North? If you'd like to join us in a further discussion, Life Coach, Melanie Foote-Davis www.PowerBehindtheChair.com will be our guest on our Club SuperStar Coaching Call, Monday, July 14th at 8pm EST where we'll explore "Finding your NorthStar and staying on track???"
During the class, we had the opportunity to witness a Salon Owner really connect with their Vision and Mission (we'll talk about that another time) and it was powerful and emotional and they are 'on fire' getting their salon to match that vision! And that is the power of knowing your NorthStar!
Blessings,
