What a year it’s been - maybe we’ve not been afforded the chance to reach the soaring highs we’d hoped yet, but 2021 is just the beginning of a journey…

We do like to switch things up on The Salonology Show, so this week we’re kicking off a two-part special on goals, strategies, and mapping out a path to success for the year ahead!

Join us for a festive foray into why you shouldn’t just write off 2021 and start afresh, how to define the kind of goals to set in 2022, and how we’ll start turning ambitious goals into tangible plans.

This episode of The Salonology Show covers:

• Reflecting on the past year and taking positives rather than writing it off
• Putting 2021 into perspective and focusing on the optimistic bigger picture
• Setting meaningful goals in various areas of your life, beyond financial and material gains
• How we’ll turn goals into plans in part 2 of this seasonal special

If you’re listening between Christmas and New Year and want to set your goals with us, we’re hosting a special webinar on Thursday 30th December to take this even further! Find out more and sign up at bit.ly/goal-setting-2022

Christmas is coming, so with the rush of the holidays fast approaching it’s essential to look after your salon’s #1 asset: You!

Whether your version of switching off is training, trips out or trash TV, it’s a vital step to offloading the burdens of ‘festive burnout’. 

Join us for this week’s episode of The Salonology Show as we prepare to SMASH December; we look at de-stressing to combat the impending rush, how to alleviate some of the pesky admin work from your day-to-day life, and why making comparisons is blinding you to your true success!

This episode of The Salonology Show covers:

• Switching off when things get hectic
• How to reduce the admin load on your back
• Overcoming negative self-talk & ditching the comparisons
