    158. How to Grow Your Business When Everyone's Saying "The Economy Is Bad"

    👉 Join Me Inside Freedom Salon Manual TODAY  👈 Let's get honest, Queen, how many times have you heard someone say, "It's just the economy right now" when talking about their slow business? In this fiery episode, Annie gets real about the stories business owners are clinging to and how the "bad economy" excuse is keeping so many powerful women from showing up in their full potential. Through real talk and personal reflection, she breaks down how fear spreads through conversations, how our environment shapes our beliefs, and why the economy isn't actually what's holding you back, your energy and leadership are. If you've been feeling uncertain, slowing down your income, or doubting your ability to grow in this climate, this episode is your reminder that leaders don't wait for good times to rise. They decide to thrive no matter what.  What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why "the economy" has become a safe story for business owners to hide behind.

    157. The Lie You've Been Told About Salon Profit & How to Rewrite Your Story

    Welcome Queen… who told you it has to take five years before you see profit in your salon? Who told you that struggle and burnout are "just part of the journey"? In this powerful, no-BS episode, Annie pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in the hair & beauty industry that success has to be slow and painful. Through her own story of going from $80K in debt to $95K in profit within a year, she's here to show you that it doesn't have to be that way. If you've been hustling for months (or years) with nothing to show for it but exhaustion, this is your permission slip to stop struggling and start leading. Annie dives deep into the mindset, the missing business foundations, and the energetic shifts that turn chaos into clarity and profit into your new normal.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: The toxic belief that's keeping so many salon owners stuck in survival mode.  Why you DON'T have to wait 12 months (or 5 years!) to make a profit. The difference between fake profit on paper and real money in your bank account. The exact mindset shift that took Annie from debt, burnout, and tears to thriving freedom. What foundations your salon actually needs to grow. Why stubborn independence keeps you broke and what creates quantum leaps. How this one type of fear could be what's really holding you back. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Business Diagnostics 05:50 The Importance of Business Foundations 12:00 Investing in Coaching for Success 18:09 Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Fear of Success   💌 Want Support to Fast-Track Your Growth? 💎 Book a Salon Biz Diagnostic Session with Annie → HERE 💎 Join The Freedom Salon Manual (FSM) - Annie's 12-month mentorship for salon owners ready to scale with ease and profit → HERE 💎 Apply for Private Coaching → HERE 💎 Connect with Annie on Instagram → @annie_knight_mentor (for salon related content)  @iamanastasia_louisa for all else! 💎 Connect with Annie on Facebook → salon content head to this facebook page! personal/holistic facebook page here,   You don't need another five years of "figuring it out."
