The sports world is our window into dreams as people. We see others achieving and aspiring to be their best, all the while cheering on their accomplishments and hoping for more with every snap of the football or every crack of the baseball bat. But for some, this dream world is just that, a dream. What they don’t realize is many lessons can be learned from sports, which is why athletes are very often successful in other areas of life after their playing days are over. So what does that have to do with the beauty industry or you personally as a beauty professional?
In essence, everything. Just because you don’t score touchdowns or smack home runs doesn’t mean you can’t apply the same principles those high-profile athletes do in their own lives. Each man or woman who makes a living playing sports wants to do it to the best of their ability, not only to help themselves but to help their team. Aspiring to be the best takes courage, determination, a big imagination and the occasional bit of luck. Donald Trump has become wealthy many times over but also lost plenty of money along the way. His attitude is simple: “I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.”
To get to the pinnacle of sports, a lot of things have to fall into place. Just like in the business world, achieving sports goals is all about having a vision, a plan to get there, practicing your plan and making changes along the way while ultimately keeping focus toward the big goal at the end. Even those who seem like they are at the top of their game in life still need the occasional kick in the pants to point them back toward the goal.
Making it as a professional athlete only happens to the very elite athletes in those sports; the “best of the best.” When you feel you’ve reached the pinnacle as a beauty professional, don’t forget there is still room for improvement. That’s where coaching comes in. Athletes who make millions of dollars need to be coached constantly, because they want to continue to perform at their best while improving along the way. Bringing in a coach to help you and your salon grow is only the beginning; you have to take that information and apply it. Mistakes are part of the process; no one can be perfect every time. That’s why the coach is there to pick you up, pat you on the back and say, “It’s OK, we messed that up, but we’ll get it right the next time.”
There's a new name in the beauty industry that will soon be as popular as Paul Mitchell. Achieve Success Coaching & Consulting, or ASCC as so many call it, is the fastest-growing salon and spa coaching company in the US . With a unique style of coaching, its guarantee to increase your bottom line by 30 percent within six months.
Many of you are probably asking "What is a salon coach?" Well, what is a coach, period? Someone who encourages you. Someone who directs you in the big game. Someone who leads you to victory. Now picture a struggling salon or spa. It’s barely paying the bills and having a hard time keeping the doors open. Insert a salon coach and suddenly the owners have new marketing ideas, new ways to gain clients, a new way to manage their employees-- and soon they're on their way to increasing their profits! ASCC makes that happen daily for salons and spas all around the country. One particular salon located in Nashville, Tennessee looked like it had everything going for them. Celebrity clientele. Busy stylists. Passionate owners. Yet each month the owners struggled to pay their bills and wondered where the next "new" client was coming from. Scott D. Speight, founder and CEO of ASCC, was introduced to the owners and within three months of creating a new business plan they had increased their profits by 67 percent! Several small changes and this once-struggling salon is now one of the top salons in Nashville . THAT is a true salon coach, one who helps make something out of nothing, yet encourages you every step of the way.
There are many salon coaching companies out there, but ASCC strives to be different. It offers a dedicated education department readily available to clients. If your salon desires an extension class, ASCC has a top extension specialist ready to come directly to you to teach your entire team how to make more money by offering a specialty service. Color? Cuts? Formal Upstyles? Makeup? All of these specialists have had extensive training and are ASCC certified. They are ready to help your stylists increase their profits! ASCC also networks with many companies that benefit salon and spa owners. Payroll services, financial planners, insurance agents, chiropractors, salon software, unique product lines and more are all just a phone call away, and they are referred by the one you trust most, your salon coach.
ASCC also is the only company in the beauty industry that offers "team coaching.” Two of our highly trained coaches will work together with you and your entire staff to better your business. One team member has been or is currently behind the chair, so they have first-hand knowledge of the industry. The other team member is well-versed in the business side, excelling in finance, computers, employee training and so much more. Co-Coaching gives a business two different ways of taking the company to the next level, and we all know two heads are better than one!
Throughout the years something has changed in the beauty industry. The passion that the owners and stylists once had is fading and it's ASCC's job to rekindle that fire. Everyone wants a job where they make money, but if you truly love your business then you never have to work another day in your life. Achieve Success Coaching & Consulting will make sure YOU learn how to work smarter, not harder, and achieve total and complete success, just as our name states. Visit our website at: www.achievesuccesscoaching.com or give us a call today at (615) 823-3439. Let ASCC take your business to the next level...one step at a time.
