Welcome to The Big Money Stylist Podcast!   This week, Danielle welcomes Licensed NBR® Artist, Cat Barco to the studio.   Join them as they dive into the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing what is important to you.   As a stylist, it's important to put yourself and your family first, so that you don't burn out from lack of balance.   By saying no to clients who ask for a weekend or late-night appointments, you create a space to maintain a healthy work-life balance, and setting boundaries doesn't mean losing clients; in fact, many clients will grow to respect you and your decision.   By setting boundaries, you not only maintain a professional reputation but also create opportunities to maximize income while enjoying quality time with loved ones.   But it's not just about boundaries; valuing your hair services is crucial to thrive as a stylist.    Hair is not just a commodity; it's an art that requires time, skill, and dedication! And you should be paid what your worth!   By recognizing and appreciating the worth of your services (and, more importantly, your time), you attract clients who genuinely appreciate and value your work.    This approach not only elevates your artistic prowess but also sets you apart as a professional in the industry.   To increase the value of you and your services, implementing a process or system for clients becomes a game-changer.   Imagine an application process where clients answer questions and provide photos of their hair, ensuring that you invest your time and energy wisely. Yes, we mean NO in person consults.   Your time is worth more than that!   This not only filters out clients who may not be a good fit but also equips you with information to anticipate and address any potential issues during that first appointment.   By using a systematic approach, you streamline your business and optimize your time and resources. What's better than that?!   Join us as we unlock the secrets to success by setting boundaries, valuing services, and embracing a fulfilling work-life balance! Ready to start your NBR® Journey?
