Does this sound familiar?
It’s early morning and the alarm clock screams to life, jolting you awake. You really need more sleep, but the spa or salon is waiting, so you quickly shower, grab a bite to eat and a strong cup of coffee. You head to the office hoping to finally catch up on some of the never-ending paperwork before the phones start ringing or people start interrupting you.
A moment of peace…until the day goes haywire.
Customers. Emergencies. Sick employees. Contractor out of town. Vendor out of stock. Phone goes unanswered. Meetings and more meetings. Sales calls. Lawyers, accountants and bankers. Need more sales! How can we make more sales? Quick lunch. Feeling run down. More problems, phone calls and requests on your time. Pay the bills. Pay the bills. Can we cover the bills? Phone still ringing. Voice mail. Email. Information Overload. What was I doing? Oh yeah, now I remember. Back to work. Interruption. Details, always more details! Taxes, Paperwork. Ideas, more ideas and more ideas cramming through my brain.
Will I ever get this To-Do list DONE? Interrupted again. Maybe if I just get more education. What am I doing wrong – running a business was supposed to be liberating? Why do I feel like I’m in a cage – a slave to my business? Interrupted again. Now my family needs something – will this ever end?
Three days in Santa Fe, New Mexico can change all this for 12 spa owners!
Of course you want more sales in your business, more money in your pocket and more free time to spend doing the things you love. You’ve tried time and time again to hire the right people, delegate, systematize and free up your time.
You’ve read books, attended seminars, consulted with experts and you just don’t know who or what to believe anymore, so you finally throw up your hands in defeat, adopting the famously simple, profit-killing sentence: "Just Forget it, I’ll Do It Myself"
So let’s get real. You’re a business owner by choice, right? And now here you are, working 18 hour days (or more), feeling more like an employee than a freedom-loving business owner and no matter how hard you try to do the right thing, it’s just not working out. I understand completely.
You can find all sorts of places to help you write a business plan and get money, but nobody is teaching you what to do to truly manage your business in a way that supports the most important person in the organization – YOU! So while it’s not your fault, it IS your responsibility to decide whether you are going to be a statistic, or a success.
You pick. The decision is completely yours.
October 26 - 28, 2008 could be the opportunity for you to transform your business at the Business Enrichment Intensive seminar in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The class will be taught by Keith West-Harrison of Business Enrichment Strategies.
Keith was not always been a successful spa guru. In fact, he spent years struggling to figure it all out. He wishes he had known 20 years ago what he knows today about building better spa businesses…but you can benefit from his mistakes and literally cut through whatever is holding you back in a fraction of the time.
NOW, you can take this opportunity to step up to the plate and take control of your success.
...Or you can continue to struggle and work really hard, live in frustration and overwhelm and keep paddling under water like the stressed-out duck trying to cross the pond. You can also choose to move forward with ease and grace, like the powerful swan who crosses the pond with two simple kicks of a leg.
I have worked along side and learned much from Keith. He is an entertaining, compassionate and experienced instructor who as "been there done that" and really does want to help spa owners gain the success they dream of.
