Reducing your client hours. The goal so many beauty business owners are chasing, and the one that feels impossible when everything in the business relies on you.

I went from 45+ hours of clients a week down to six hours a fortnight. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly how I did it, the two light bulb moments that forced me to change, the first half day I ever cut, the decision that became the biggest catalyst of all, and the warning I give every coaching client about stepping back too fast.

  • Almost 200 episodes, and why long-form content suits my brain [00:00].
  • The early hustle, working from home 4pm till 10pm [00:53].
  • Rapid growth, booked out six weeks in advance, and hiring fast [03:25].
  • The first light bulb moment when my best staff member left [08:50].
  • Writing procedures, and the control freak beliefs that kept me stuck [11:06].
  • Building a team of eight, starting Runway Lash Co. and hitting burnout [12:19].
  • Cutting the first half day, promoting my team, and handling client pushback [15:28].
  • Dropping Saturdays, and how COVID reshaped my week [21:22].
  • From one day a week down to six hours a fortnight [24:03].
  • Why I don't cover sick shifts, and turning off my own online bookings [25:50].
  • Why stepping back too can be a risk [29:59].
