The podcast discusses the importance of retaining clients and employees for organizational success.

Joey Coleman, the guest speaker, emphasizes the power of remarkable experiences in driving client and employee retention.

He introduced a methodology called "Never Lose an Employee Again," focusing on the first hundred days of an employee's experience.

The challenge of retaining quality and talented employees is highlighted, especially in industries like salon ownership.

The employee journey is divided into phases, starting from the assessment phase during recruitment to the accomplished phase when goals are achieved.

The initial days are crucial for making a positive impression on new employees, ensuring they feel welcomed and valued.

A buddy system is recommended to foster camaraderie among employees, making it harder for them to quit if they have friends at work.

The podcast emphasizes the need for salon owners to care about their employees as much as they care about their clients.

Building connections and understanding employees' goals contribute to creating a positive work environment.

The importance of personalized and intentional efforts in building relationships with both clients and team members is highlighted for long-term loyalty and success.

Are you a perfectionist or a recovering perfectionist? If you are, then this episode is for you. Sometimes perfectionism is sneaky and can show up and prevent you from moving forward in your life and business. 
I discuss more in today's episode. 

Here are five key points from today's episode:

💫 Perfectionism often stems from childhood conditioning and a need for external validation.

💫 Over-preparing and seeking perfection can lead to burnout and hinder progress in your business.

💫 Relentless persistence, not perfection, is a key to entrepreneurial success.

💫 Understanding your fears and moving towards them can help you break free from perfectionism.

💫 It's essential to redefine success on your terms and take imperfect, aligned action toward your goals.

Why do many business leaders expect other people to just "understand" their value in the marketplace?

You created an LLC. You bought a domain. You built a website. You posted on LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok.

And you're just expecting folk to come running to you after you announced you exist as a business or provide a new service?

I'm sorry to bring you back to reality, but that's a dream that typically won't come to pass out of the gate.

Profitable businesses become profitable businesses from great leaders who can provide a clear understanding to others about the value of the business, the impact of the service, the why behind your existence, and where you can take others.

Whether you're a solopreneur, a co-founder, an executive leader, a director, a manager, or somewhere in between, a business doesn't grow, survive, thrive, scale, and expand without high-quality leadership across the board to drive revenue, leverage effective marketing, produce concrete sales tactics, and cultivate great company culture.

The question becomes, are you that leader? Can you be that leader? How do you be that leader? And what does that look like?

This episode will expand on questions you must answer to know what type of leader you are and where you fit into your business. We will also explore the honest truth behind the key metrics to pursue to scale your business and the myths we debunk behind what many leaders need to stop focusing on because it's a waste of time, money, and resources.

This episode is full of heart, energy, and a barrage of reality checks served with a side of truth.
