    EP 316: Own Your Story with Allison Walsh

    Your brand is not your logo or your color palette.

    Those things may be part of your brand kit, but your actual brand is the foundation of everything you bring to life both inside and outside of your business.

    It’s your message. It’s your reputation. It’s the words you want people to use to describe who you are. 

    You get to set the boundary of how much of your story is shared with the world, but establishing yourself as an expert in your field builds trust and credibility with people who ultimately want to gravitate towards you and your brand. 

    My guest on today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast is Allison Walsh, JD, the founder of Allison Walsh Consulting, host of the She Believed She Could podcast, and the creator of impactful coaching programs, where she focuses on helping women develop confidence and leverage their personal brands personally and professionally to scale their businesses, careers, and influence while making an impact.

    Allison is a seasoned executive, philanthropist, keynote speaker, consultant, and Miss Florida 2006. She serves as Vice President of Clinical Outreach for Charlie Health, a national provider and industry leader in adolescent and young adult mental health. 

    She’s raised over $2 Million for eating disorders prevention and awareness, serves on multiple nonprofit boards, and has received numerous local, state, and national awards for her professional and philanthropic contributions.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Owning who you are and tying that into your brand 
    • The overarching message for Allison’s work
    • Defining the personal boundary of what’s appropriate to share 
    • Importance of self-talk and the impact it has on your business and life

      A big hurdle to overcome in business is intimidation from your numbers. 

      Your money is simply a tool.

      Yes, weekly because it’s important to stay on top of your numbers at all times. 

      I breakdown everything from why I manage my cash flow in a percentage system to developing a healthy relationship with your money.

      EP 314: How to Establish and Communicate Healthy Boundaries with Christine Seibold

      Boundary is a word often tiptoed around because to set them properly, you need to step outside of your comfort zone.

      And that’s a hard place to be in life or business. 

      In both your professional and personal lives, boundaries are an essential piece to establishing what you will and won’t tolerate from employees or loved ones. 

      And you need to look inward to figure out what you DO want.

      I sat down to talk with Christine Seibold, an author, community founder, and a business and mindset coach, in today’s episode of the Spa Marketing Made Easy podcast. 

      Christine left her job at Harvard University in September 2018 to move to Miami, FL to open her own business – Freelance N’ Freedom. 

      Today she helps female virtual assistants leave their 9 to 5 jobs and start their own businesses, which is truly exciting and satisfying work. She also serves as a business and mindset coach in a couple of group coaching programs, as well as with her own clients. In January of 2020, she founded a women’s entrepreneur group in Seville, Spain called Femprendedoras.

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • Mindset and how it’s a choice we all get to make each day
      • Christine’s 5 steps to establishing clear and direct boundaries
      • The power of affirmations and finding your avenue that helps you stay accountable with your boundaries
      • Importance of self-love and making yourself a priority

      EP 313: Why Retail Matters in Spa

      When retail numbers go up, so do service sales.

      Retail matters in your spa because it helps you provide more for your clients beyond the treatment room.

      An important tip is to view sales as a form of service. It doesn’t have to be “salesy.” It’s a conversation where you dig deep with your client to figure out the best course of action for them to achieve their skincare goals. 

      I like to say – speak to your client about retail how you would speak to your BFF or your mom. 

      The retail you sell is an extension of your spa and fosters good client relationships to keep them coming back. 

      In this week’s episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m answering all your questions about retail – why it’s important, how you should track it, and ways to get your team on board with selling. 

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • The recommended number of skincare lines for your spa
      • Metrics to use to track retail sales 
      • Three reasons why estheticians may be hesitant to sell retail 
      • Importance of 1-on-1 coaching with your team around retail

      EP 312: Finding “Magic in the Mess” and Embracing Resiliency with Neeta Bhushan

      Navigating the ebb and flow of entrepreneurship requires an important skill: resiliency. 

      And a little bit of grit plus recognizing that striving for perfectionism will always leave you unsatisfied because it’s impossible to achieve.  

      Resiliency is understanding that sometimes things don’t always work out as planned but with an unwavering confidence in yourself and refusal to quit, you will always rise to the top. 

      The first step to becoming a Spa CEO is believing your success is inevitable – no matter what ups and downs you’re faced with along the way. 

      My guest on this week’s episode is no stranger to resiliency. 

      Dr. Neeta Bhushan, a world-renowned emotional health advocate and expert in the areas of grit and resilience, shares life experiences of overcoming multiple adversities, which include being orphaned at a young age, surviving an abusive marriage, and extensive loss.

      These experiences coupled with her journey to becoming a leader in her field and a voice for immigrant women & women of color contribute to her powerful message of resilience & grit to have found several institutes, including the Global GRIT Institute, wellness education platform for optimizing emotional wellbeing for entrepreneurs, and Co-Founder of Dharma Coaching Institute and organization helping train thousands to be the highest versions of themselves.

      Dr. Neeta’s book That Sucked. Now What? How to embrace the joy in chaos and find magic in the mess, is due out this month.

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • Life experiences facing adversity and shared insights on ways to overcome hard times
      • Neeta’s four-part framework called The Bounce Factor and how it relates to entrepreneurship
      • The theme of resiliency throughout Neeta’s life and entrepreneurial experiences
      • Connecting the dots between emotional and mental health in life and business

      EP 311: Blocking off time to reach your financial goals – Part 2 – 2023 Annual Planning

      “Nothing changes if nothing changes” is a statement you’ll hear me repeat often because in order to reach a new level in business, you have to get serious about your goals.

      Not only do you need to get serious – you need to take action. 

      You are the one in control of setting your goals and commitments based on the life you want to live.

      After defining your financial goals, the next step is to get crystal clear on the amount of time you need to set aside on your calendar to achieve those goals. 

      In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m covering the questions to consider before 2023 that will help you define the proper work/life balance for you in this season of life, plus advice on how to assess your current pricing structure and services profitability. 

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • Getting clear about your vision for your company and your entrepreneurial path
      • Defining the really important things in 2022 that you didn’t have time to dedicate your focus on
      • Understanding your season of life and how that affects your work schedule
      • Planning questions to ask yourself to map out your spa’s pricing and services

      EP 310: Setting Smart Financial Goals – Part 1 – 2023 Annual Planning

      A hard truth I share often is “if you aren’t paying yourself, unfortunately you have a very expensive, time-consuming hobby.”

      I know that sounds really harsh, but I share that because I want you to start building a positive relationship with your money.

      Money doesn’t define your worth – it’s a tool that is used to measure the health of your business and it guides you to make smart, database decisions. 

      As we prepare to turn the calendar over for a new year, understanding how to set your financial goals based on how much you want to pay yourself is vital for spa owners to get serious about their money. 

      That’s why in this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, we cover the financial percentage breakdown I use and recommend for spa, plus how to set milestone goals for weekly, monthly, and annually financial goals.  

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • The percentage breakdown I recommend for organizing your weekly revenue
      • Planning questions to ask yourself to map out what you need to make to build the life that you (and your family) want to live
      • How to divide an annual revenue goal into monthly, weekly, and daily micro goals based on the number of providers in your spa
      • One strategy to implement in your spa to prioritize employee engagement and to help them feel a sense of accomplishment and worth

      EP 309: Capturing 250+ New Client Leads through Facebook Groups with Maria Ramos

      Where is the first place people go to share recommendations, give reviews, and connect with other people in their communities?

      Facebook AKA the new “digital word-of-mouth” platform.

      We live in a world where the moment an experience ends, we want to tell others about it – both the good and the bad. 

      This is why you’ll often hear me talk about how in order to attract new clients, you need to meet them where they are online. That place is inside Facebook groups. 

      In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, Maria Ramos, known to her 76,000 Facebook group members as “The Money Making Esthetician,” joins me to share how she gained 250+ new leads by implementing a Facebook groups marketing strategy she heard right here on our podcast.

      Before we dive in, I want to preface that today’s episode is not about building your own Facebook group from scratch (which could be a good strategy depending on your business), but rather how you can leverage established active Facebook groups in your area. 

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • Results Maria experienced after implementing this Facebook group strategy
      • Importance for new providers to get hands-on experience during the onboarding process
      • The use of a Google Form to capture lead information and segmenting those leads by area of interest
      • Focusing on providing a quality experience for every client, especially when it’s for new providers’ practice

      EP 308: Embracing your feminine energy with Angela Jia Kim of Savor Beauty

      There’s no surprise that females in leadership positions try to suppress their feminine energy. 

      Our minds are trained to remove our emotions from the workplace because femininity is viewed as a sign of weakness and is not part of the “normal” building blocks of business.

      As beauty industry leaders, it’s our duty to take back our power and lead with feminine energy. When we embrace our femininity, we become more direct, strong, intuitive, passionate, creative, and loving leaders. 

      (I don’t want to discourage those that are not females from listening to this episode. Rather, I encourage you to hear how you can help women feel more empowered to embrace their feminism in their work.)

      In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, Angela Jia Kim, founder of Savor Beauty, a natural skincare and facial spa brand inspired by Korean beauty and self-love rituals, joins me. 

      Angela has been called “the unexpected beauty virtuoso” by MindBodyGreen after creating an award-winning skincare in her kitchen, becoming an accidental entrepreneur, and building a multimillion-dollar enterprise around the philosophy of manifesting beauty, brilliance, and balance. 

      She has led hundreds of women empowerment workshops and her Savor Beauty Self-Care Planner has sold over 100,000 copies. A highly recognized skin and self-care expert, her skincare and spas in New York City have been chosen as “Best of New York” and featured in top publications such as The New York Times, Vogue, Elle, People, Allure, Well+Good, and more. 

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      • Personal experiences of navigating burnout and feelings of overwhelm early on in our entrepreneurial journeys
      • Mindset and energy practices shifts to help shift us into embracing our feminine energy in leadership 
      • An overview of the Savor Beauty skincare regimen inspired by Korean beauty and self-love rituals
      • The Savor Beauty Self-Care Planner practices that take less than 30 minutes and help start each day with intention
      • A key role in business growth is building personal relationships with customers and making them feel valued

      EP 307: Taking Advantage of Your Cycle for Aligned Achievement with Renae Fieck

      Ever felt that the flow of the 24-hours-in-a-day or 40-hours-in-a-work week doesn’t actually, well…

      It actually doesn’t “flow” at all.  

      That’s because those timeframes weren’t built with our innate energetic cycles in mind, especially for women.  

      These frameworks were built around a man’s natural timeclock and rhythm and were then translated into a weekly work schedule during the industrial revolution, which has now become a societal norm even though it doesn’t truly work as an ideal time management structure for the majority of society or the population. 

      For women, understanding our cycle is not only a foundational element of understanding our innate feminine energy, but when viewing our cycles through the lens of business and work, it becomes a powerful code for unlocking your best life/work balance, structure, and schedule. 

      Sounds kind of dreamy, right?


      That’s because it is!

      In this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I’m chatting with Renae Fieck, mom of three, occupational therapist, and the founder of Cycle Advantage and host of the Cycle Advantage Podcast about optimizing your business and life according to your cycle so you can gain leverage as a CEO, balance the demands of life, make a bigger impact, and get bigger results without adding more stress or needing more time. 

      ( And if you’re reading, but thinking, “well, I don’t have a menstrual cycle…,” have no fear, I know this is still going to be an insightful and inspiring episode for you, too and we address how taking advantage of your cycle can work as a non-menstruating person. )

       

      I can safely say that nearly every Spa CEO that comes through my programs would self-identify as a high-achiever, but the way to achieve more isn’t through grit, hustle, and blood/sweat/tears, it’s through understanding the seasons and cycles of when those things are beneficial, how we can use them to our advantage, and when we can lean into a different, but natural way of aligning our energy to achieve. 

      In this episode, we discuss: 

      •  How embracing our cycle and what’s actually happening with our cycle changes the way we show up in life, within business, and as a leader
      • Some of our personal experiences in finding and tuning into our feminine energy and how big of a role our cycle plays in all facets of our lives as feminine beings
      • The ways we can create microshifts in the ebbs and flows of our workflow so we can better align with our natural energetic cycle
      • The four key phases of your cycle and how they manifest in the ways we might feel and show up
      • Insights into how we can tune into our natural cycle even if you’re not menstruating and how to help your body to adjust and align to a natural rhythm

      EP 306: A Positive Mindset is Your Greatest Weapon

      Gratitude grows from the cultivation and discipline of daily practice, but the source of your gratitude? 

      Well, that all lies in the power of a positive mindset. 

      A business friend of mine shared that “a positive mindset is your greatest weapon,” and in this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, I wanted to dive deeper into this practice of building up and strengthening your positive mindset so you can not just survive the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneur and Spa CEO life, but actually enjoy it. 

      ( Because let’s face it, you did not start your own business to build another “job” for yourself – your dream, vision and mission are bigger than that, and it’s going to take a positive mindset to see it through. )

      Tune in to Episode 306 as I share my top 5 go-to ways to break your brain out of the mold of its typical thought pattern to pave the way for more positive thinking that begets gratitude, and naturally, better outcomes – because a grateful attitude sees the opportunities and lessons in all circumstances. 

      In this episode, I discuss: 

      • Why I’ve worked diligently to train my brain to see the positive in all situations 
      • Identifying what “positivity” means, and doesn’t mean, in the context of mindset so that we’re acknowledging the light and shadow sides of this work
      • Signs that you need to do some mindset work to reframe how you’re viewing life and business, and thus, how you’re responding to them
      • 5 tangible things you can start doing today to train your brain for positivity
