The One Number That Ends the Payday Panic

Six times a year, Larissa Macleman was convinced her salon wasn't going to make it. Bad week. Team off sick. Clients cancelling. Every single time, she panicked. And every single time, when June rolled around, she'd made her goal. In this episode, Larissa Macleman, founder of Salon Owners Collective, breaks down the number that ended the panic for good, the exact maths behind it, and how any salon owner can use it to know if they're really tracking for $1 million, without waiting three months for an accountant's report. What you'll discover in this episode:
  • The one number to track instead of your weekly revenue
  • Why the weekly number makes you feel like a genius one week and a failure the next
  • The exact calculation to know if you're trending for $100,000 more this year
  • What six figures of growth actually costs each stylist, per week
  • Why the growth has to come from your team, not from you getting back behind the chair
  • The one shift that lets you stop running on gut feeling and start running on data
This episode is for any salon owner who has felt that stomach drop on a bad Thursday, wondered if payroll would land, and then found out months later she was on track the whole time.   FREE GAME PLAN CALL: Ready to build a full strategy for your salon?
