Consistency in Content
Despite the busy schedules and numerous commitments, maintaining regular check-ins and updates is crucial. In this episode, we acknowledge the importance of our quarterly L&L Chit Chats and the challenges of keeping up with them due to our packed calendars.
Personal Updates
Leisha's Move: Leisha has transitioned from RV life to a cozy rental house in California. After a year and a half of traveling, this change has brought a refreshing stability and comfort, with a beautiful yard and an open kitchen that she's thoroughly enjoying.
Lisa's Decision: Lisa considered moving to Arizona but decided to stay in Illinois. The enticing idea of an out-of-state move sparked a conversation that led to a reevaluation of their lives. Ultimately, her husband received a great promotion, and they moved to a better school district for their kids.
Community Support and Vulnerability
One of the highlights of our episode was a Soul Tribe member bravely sharing her struggles with retaining clients and financial challenges. Her vulnerability opened the door to an incredible outpouring of support from the community. This experience underscored the importance of being open and asking for help, demonstrating how community support can provide practical solutions and emotional strength.
Practical Business Tips
We shared some invaluable business tips, focusing on simple yet effective strategies:
Setting Alarms: Implementing alarms to manage morning routines can significantly impact productivity.
Showing Up Early: Arriving early for work shows professionalism and helps build client trust.
Maintaining Professional Appearance: Continuously presenting yourself as a beauty professional is essential for client retention and referrals.
Addressing Burnout and Work-Life Balance
We discussed the necessity of having hobbies and interests outside of work to prevent burnout. It's crucial to find activities that fuel creativity and provide a mental break from the demands of running a business.
Importance of Morning Routines and Intentionality
Setting intentions and visualizing a successful day can boost productivity and positivity. Creating a structured morning routine helps manage time better and reduces stress.
Utilizing Resources
Engaging with community resources and support systems is vital. Whether it's within the Soul Tribe or your local network, tapping into available support can make a significant difference in navigating challenges.
