On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, Danielle welcomes back NBR® Educator Carlos Alvarez onto the show!   We are just jumping in HOT this week! Showing up as a leader is HARD especially when you know there is going to be drama.    When you can see something starting to come up, the best thing that you can do is immediately address it.    What you permit, you promote.  The reason that you want to stop it as soon as it comes up, is because you’re making sure it doesn't go any further. That is the last thing you want, is for it to get out of hand.    As humans, we have a tendency of being a little passive aggressive. So i’m going to say this angina, for those of you in the back.    What you permit you promote.   It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is, you HAVE to take control. That is the role you are in. You are the leader. Not their savior.    Oftentimes, we are held hostage by our own employees. We are people pleasers and we don’t want drama. BUT You need to let people know who you are, and where you stand and be THE leader.    So,  are you a conflict avoider?  Do you have clear communication? Are you showing up as a leader ?    A leader doesn't back pedal. Remember that it should always come from a place of love. As hairdressers, we want to make sure we are making everyone happy, but you also need to make sure that the energy with your staff has a different approach.    How to lead is definitely something we help with.  By joining The Academy you can be certain that your investment in yourself will pay off with our tuition-back guarantee!    Apply to The Academy here: https://nbr.education/lp/learn-nbr/  

On this week's episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, Danielle welcomes Licensed NBR® Artists, Cyann Davis & Evelyne Pink to the show! When it comes to accomplishing something, all it takes is COMMITTING and doing the work!  Inside of our community - AKA - the Academy, we are all on the same page.  It's not all about doing hair, it's not even about doing extensions!  It’s about confidence. It’s about the lifestyle. It's about shifting your mindset.  The person that you become in the process is going to be mind blowing to you.  Even though you’re such a talented artist, even though you are doing ALL the work, there is SO much more to life than being a slave behind the chair.  We don’t all get the luxury of getting into the Academy right out of school, so most of us recognize really quickly that we have bad habits that need breaking.  Success doesn't mean having full books or burning yourself out. It means you love your job, you love your clients.  Your space is valuable. Your TIME is valuable.  Learn how to value yourself and take advantage of the NBR® Virtual Experience available now!  Over the course of 2-days we’ll teach you the art and science of NBR® along with the critical business, marketing, and sales mindset to help you succeed as an Artist.  Learn more about the NBR® Virtual Experience on May 7-8: https://nbr.education/lp/learn-nbr-today/

On this week's episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, NBR® Educator Sarah Stephenson welcomes Licensed NBR® Artist Heather Ferrante onto the show! If you’re a Hairstylist, I want you to think back to when you first started. What made you decide to do hair? I bet you didn't decide to do hair to just be a slave behind the chair. That much is probably safe to assume. There is something SO empowering about going straight into the Academy from hair school. The biggest perk, you don’t have to go through all the bad habit-breaking things that are the hardest part. Not all of us get that privilege though, we have bad habits to break. We work long hours, we take all the clients, and we typically don’t have the greatest boundaries IF we have any at all. The biggest thing that is going to help you is making sure that you have a tribe behind your back and really helping youth succeed. Coming together as a tribe is one way to grow SO FAST... You want to surround yourself with people that are like you, people like are going to help lift you up & really help you to achieve those goals you’ve set for yourself. If you're ready to get out of your own way and be supported by the NBR® Tribe, then it's time to join us in education! Join the NBR® Online Course to dip your toe in the NBR® water OR jump all in with DKW® Styling Academy! Regardless, we're here to empower you.

On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, Danielle welcomes NBR® Educator Julia Ward onto the show!   When you are working in mom mode, you have to rewire your brain so that you can get it all done.    You are taught when you first get into the hair industry that you need to dive right in & work yourself to death practically.    Being a slave behind the chair is SO common in the hair industry.    We might look like we have it all, but we are wrapped up in more of the IDEA of success but we aren’t doing the things that matter.    You want to be able to clearly communicate to your guests so that you both WIN.    Hearing all the success stories is what is going to change the game for us.    We define success as having a full salon. When you actually do your numbers & realize how exhausted you are, is that really worth it? We need to start working smarter, not harder.  Freedom is really the end goal.  Freedom is what success really is.    If you feel like you’re doing the work, but you don’t have the results to show for it, then you’re just BUSY, you’re not actually doing the work.    Ready to get the results you’re looking for with the support of the NBR® Tribe?   Then it’s time you join DKW® Styling Academy!   Tried and true business coaching and extension education that’s been proven to work time and time again.   By joining The Academy you can be certain that your investment in yourself will pay off with our tuition-back guarantee!    Apply to The Academy here: https://nbr.education/lp/learn-nbr/
