Not only is the BMS Podcast #95 out of ALL of the podcasts
inside of iTunes, it's Number ONE in Fashion and #5 in Arts, so
we've noticed that the message being shared is making an impact on
others. This week the BMS Team: Danielle, Garrett, Val and Ani talk
about how to get beyond the slavery and bondage of being a stylist
behind the chair, throwing in a little bit of a wizardry twist for
safe measure behind it all.
For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each
month:
Week #1: Power
Week #2: Production
Week #3: Profit
Week #4: Protection
In This Week's Episode.....PROTECTION
Point #1: Protect Your Mind From Outside Influences
- 60% to 70% of your success as an Artist - both behind and in
front of the chair - comes down to protecting your own psychology.
When you don't protect it and allow people's opinions and outside
noise to influence you, there's a direct impact on your bank
account. You have to have tunnel vision when it comes to the
chatter and noise of others.
- Coach Val: I have to block out the outside noises and opinions
of others because it can trickle down into everything, including
what I produce behind the chair and how I feel about myself, which
slows me down. I can’t have that. It’s super important to protect
my mindset so that I can keep growing and get to where I want to
be.
QUESTION: When you’ve allowed other people’s opinions to impact
or influence you about your own industry - and they’re not even in
the hair industry - how does it actually affect you in the
salon?
Point #2: Your Circle of Influence Matters
- Sometimes when you step outside of the 'acceptable' and
unspoken parameters of your social or family group, people inside
of these groups start questioning your actions and may even become
embarrassed by you. Be willing to feel awkward in order to move
forward in life, regardless of what your friends and family may
think or say.
- After losing everything several years ago, Garrett was trying
to find his voice again. In the midst of the gossiping and
'shit talking' from close friends and family, Garrett and Danielle
knew the only way they were going to pull this off and get their
life back on track was to shut everyone out, which included
blocking family and friends on social media and moving to another
State.
QUESTION: Who is in your circle of influence? Are they
sucking the life out of you or are they assisting you in your
growth? What changes do you feel called to make?
Point #3: Clearing the Path Protects Your Future
- There is another world that you cannot even fathom
possible that exists in a different realm beyond whom you are
currently giving yourself permission to be as an Artist and
businessman or woman, where the excitement, abundance, experience,
happiness and Purpose in your life is so much bigger. Oft times the
only way for us to protect our future is to clear the path in our
present moment with relationships and situations that no longer
serve us.
- An advocate for growth and change, Coach Ani
believes that you can't remain the same person. As hard as it was
at the time for her to break off her long term relationship and
engagement, she knew it was the right decision for her and her
continued growth. She was willing to throw fucking caution to the
wind and say, "Okay. I have no idea how this is going to play out,
but I’m gonna fuckin’ try it."
QUESTION: What hard choices are right in front of you that you
need to give yourself permission to make?
Point #4: You Are Your Worst Enemy
- What do you do when the dark side of you wants to quit? Coach
Ani remembers her WHY, she takes a step back to look at the bigger
picture, and takes time to recharge herself. Val has found that by
sharing her own pain and struggles with other stylists, it gives
them permission to push forward, push a little harder and know they
are worth making more of their lives.
- Danielle: It comes down to Purpose. I can’t listen to those
voices in my head anymore because I know how many people are
impacted by what I am doing.
QUESTION: What do you do when your own mind becomes your
greatest enemy? What has become helpful to you as an Artist?
Point #5: Marketing is a Protection Game
- To protect your Empire, continual marketing is a
must, whereas ceasing to market can cause the destruction of that
same Empire. When you know your numbers you can go forward with an
actual plan, as opposed to just throwing money away in hopes that
what you want is actually going to work.
- Another way of protecting your business is by
actually being fucking good at hair. Being an elite Artist is one
of the greatest protection moves to a future building of your
business and sustaining your current clients.
QUESTION: What area are you currently lacking in when it comes
to marketing, knowing your numbers, or being an Elite Artist? What
changes are you committed to making going forward?
Quote of the Week:
"The marketing game is always changing, so you have
to move with the trends. If you can figure out the marketing game
and have success with whatever you’re trying to promote, and have
figured out that piece of the puzzle, then regardless of where the
economy goes, you feel more protected because you know how to
market and you know how to rebuild."
-- Danielle White
"You have to know how to market, but you have to have a skillset
that you can deliver on a level that will keep a client coming
back. Inside our Elite Mastermind, we have implemented something
called Power Practice where the students have to make a commitment
of practicing daily for 15 minutes. It may not seem like a lot, but
what we’ve seen is that by doing that 15 minutes every single day,
it elevates their skillset immensely. We are holding our
students to a higher standard of work that is worthy of the NBR
brand that Danielle created."
-- Valerie Plunk
"Every hard decision you [Danielle] have ever made has not just
affected you, Garrett and your children - it’s affected
everybody. It affected Val and her marriage and family;
it’s affected every aspect of my life. Everything has come
about because you had the strength to stand up one day, change
everything about your life and say: This isn’t enough. I’m doing
more. I’m changing my life."
