Blowouts and Brazilians

This episode is very dear and important to us, listen in on how we got down and dirty and are about to be the coolest moms in the IE! boss babies are in full effect here!

You walk down the street and there's barbershop after barbershop- with at least 10 or more barbers in there. Every single barbershop is busy-& everyone has their own clientele, everyone is booked and clientele continues to come in and out. Nobody is worried who's busier than who, sometimes clients jump from barber to barber because they want a specific time, maybe they didn't vibe with you (and to be honest.. who wants to sit in a chair and not vibe), maybe you're not a bad barber and you just don't know how to cut their texture hair- it's not worth belittling yourself as to why someone stopped coming to you. Worry about the clientele you do have and let the others go! Do you think INNOUT is worried what a McDonalds across the street is doing? some people prefer convenience over quality- and that's ok! some prefer McDonalds over InNout& THAT'S OK! remember that its not you, and even if it was you .. Who cares!!! if its meant to be they will come back to you. Repeat after me: I am an amazing ________.(enter profession) I am talented. I am unique. I am one of a kind! -in this podcast we talk a bit of "competition", how to balance work and life and how we came up with with Hot stuff esthetics, Vicious hair 13, and Studio 13 Salon.

If you get hating ass comments- you can tell your mama you made it 🙌 but only after you second think your life existence, career and cry it out in the car. Part of owning a business is having a social media platform. Some spread love with it and some spread hate. The right thing can get taken out of context and all of a sudden everyone is a doctor, a hairstylist or a professional chef with their opinion that no one asked for, a hating ass comment at that. We got to just see past those nasty comments and do what we do best. Whatever that is (hopefully positive stuff) because at the end of the day - those negative comments are coming from people who have a miserable life. Try not to feed into or allow their fears and negative spirit affect you. The right people will continue to support your business 🫶

The line that continues to be drawn ✏️and somehow is invisible to some. Boundaries is something to establish from the start of your business to have new clients understand policies. Having mutual respect for someone’s time and money in the business industry is very important. However you set boundaries/policies wether it be taking 💵 deposits, 💳card on file, 📝contracts or a solid 🤝handshake stick to them and watch you sort out the red flags from the green ones. Not having boundaries can affect the business and your mental health😵‍💫 in the long run.. and let’s be honest. We’re all adults! We don’t have time for all that nonsense! Respect over money. If you’d like Cory’s meatloaf receipt say I 🙋‍♀️

Investing in your education by taking a class is not only a tax write off, but an opportunity to create long term growth in yourself and your business. So what's holding you back?

There’s two types of licensed professionals. The 1099’s and the W2’s. There’s nothing wrong with either one, you can start as a employee (w2) and end up growing into a 1099(solo) or maybe you started strong as a 1099 and decided to kick back and be a w2! We all have a list of pros and cons of what route would be best - BUT it’s whatever would make you be the best version of yourself for your business. Do you like freedom and being your own boss? Take the bus to 1099 route. You like having set hours, and healthcare? W2 is where you should be. Cory & Mayra had similar experiences being employees to franchises that molded them, and taught them how they wanted to run or not run their businesses! #bossbabepower whatever you decide - WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! 📍 if you are wanting the “how to open a business” brochure send us a email!

Imposter's syndrome is when you doubt your skills, talents, or accomplishments and have internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Unfortunately- it happens to the best of us. Doubt will creep up when you least expect it or even when you think you deserve to have that doubt over mistakes and convince you that you are a FAKE because you are so "horrible" at you are job! We talk about how our internal dialogue affects us and what we can do to overcome those small bumps on the road. Join Dr.Cory and have a therapy session with Mayra over her recent experiences. Burnout can look like a lack of interest in the things you enjoy and possibly could have you searching for a new job in that moment of weakness. This topic isn't talked about enough, but we ain't scared to share our struggles. If you ever struggled with any of these two fugly words- YOU ARE NOT ALONE! and we refuse to let you doubt yourself! pick yourself up and remember who's the BOSS ASS BITCH!

👻 Spooky season episode! As a new business owners we tend to just want to get things done quickly when there’s a deadline without taking into consideration how important it is to do your research on contractors to get things done correctly. Everyone makes mistakes, but as a good business owner it is our responsibility to take ownership of our mistakes to maintain our reputation and most importantly for our client to always leave happy. 🙅‍♀️P.s DO NOT mix business with pleasure aka always pay full price for services! (especially when hiring a friend) With episode 2 being around Halloween we discussed preparing for the holidays - by giving our loyal clients low cost gifts / coupons that won’t be too hard on business owners wallets but showing gratitude towards our clients that continue to do business with us.
