How would it feel if you could add $100,000 to your business in the next 90 days? Incredible, obviously. 

Your alarm bells and skepticism might be triggered, and that’s good! As a Spa CEO, it’s critical to be discerning about claims around how you can grow your business and how quickly. However, some growth pathways are like a rocketship–they take off fast and with a lot of power (and profitability). One of those pathways is acquisition – either you acquire a business or yours gets acquired. 

Joining me on Episode 422 is Susan Wos, a former hairstylist and salon owner who now helps sell beauty industry businesses across the U.S. through her company, Salonspa Connection. Susan has sold beauty industry businesses of all shapes and sizes since 2019. She now has a team of 17 brokers and assistants working with her to help Spa CEOs layer acquisition into their overarching entrepreneurial growth and wealth-building strategy.

What you’ll learn during this episode:

  • What Susan is seeing in the current beauty and wellness landscape regarding acquisitions, private equity, and market trends
  • What types of businesses are entrepreneurs looking to acquire, and what kinds of spa and aesthetic practices make for a lucrative acquisition 
  • The ins and outs of the business buying process (both from the seller and buyer perspective) and what assets carry the highest value 
  • What to expect when entertaining an acquisition offer and how to go about valuing a business to sell or buy, plus Susan’s top tips for those looking to build acquisition into their growth strategy

EP 418: Assembling Your Unicorn Team with Jen Kem

Hiring a unicorn, or building a whole team of them, isn’t about narrowing in on uber-unique people who possess the “just right” combination of skills to help you succeed in your spa business. 

Actually, building a Unicorn Team is about getting ultra clear on your brand and the values that drive it. 

From there, you’re able to navigate, motivate, and communicate as the Unicorn Leader you are, and thus, rally and lead other Unicorns who want to build your brand with you, too. 

Here to walk us through the foundation of that innovative process is Jen Kem, the author of the new book, “Unicorn Team: How to Rally the Right People Around the Next Big Winning Idea that Changes the World.” 

Named Forbes’ top brand strategist, Jen’s company, Master Brand Media, represents influencers, celebrities, CEOs, experts, specialists, authors and speakers to get seen, heard and paid more through brand management, team optimization and corporate brand collaborations. 

With a focus on the four essential areas for brand success called Brand T.I.M.E. – Team, Identity, Messaging and Experiences – Jen and her team of Strategizers and Mobilizers have advised over 400,000 leaders to grow their brand, expand their businesses and lead teams who “get” their mission and follow-through on their vision. 

In her upcoming book, “Unicorn Team,” she outlines the frameworks for everyone to leverage the concept of Brand T.I.M.E. so that they can make the next level impact they know possible.

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • Why your team is a critical piece of the entire brand experience you’re building (yes, solo aestheticians, this applies to you, too!)
  • Overcoming your team-building objections and embracing your own unicorn role in boosting your confidence as a leader
  • Donkey vs. unicorn behavior and getting clear on what you’re looking for in your unicorn team members 
  • Crafting a team and process that are linked to your values and brand, and support your path to sustainable scaling

EP 415: Legal Considerations in the New Year with Keren de Zwart of Not Your Father’s Lawyer

For aesthetic experts and most entrepreneurs, the legal side of business immediately makes shoulders rise and muscles tighten. 

We get it. If all is well and good, the legal stuff is supposed to be boring, and that’s how we want to keep it by ensuring that you’ve got all your legal ducks in a row as we kick off a new year! 

Keren de Zwart is here to help us sift through it. She is the founder and CEO of Not Your Father’s Lawyer, her law firm, which was born from a desire to serve the needs of entrepreneurs and small businesses by replacing the outdated billable hour model with flat-fee pricing. 

With fifteen years of experience in corporate transactions, Keren has worked with every type of business, from side hustlers to raising millions of dollars and taking companies public. 

In this episode, she’s helping us fill in the gaps on everything we need to know from a legal perspective, especially at the start of the year. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Your go-to resources for finding legal information specific to your state and why it’s beneficial to have a go-to lawyer or legal resource to ask questions more specific to your business 
  • How to protect your aesthetic practice’s intellectual property (IP) without a non-compete and the legalities around non-competes
  • Keren’s insight on business entity elections and some key questions to consider when deciding what’s right for your business 
  • The importance of having an internal advisory team and who should be on it, plus insights on BOI reporting and other annual reports
