  4. How Hiring the Right Way Can Make a Difference with Kari Sullivan

    How Hiring the Right Way Can Make a Difference with Kari Sullivan

    In this week's episode, we're talking with Kari Sullivan, owner of Vive Aesthetics in Saginaw, MI and a member of our Momentum Mastermind. Kari's story is definitely one that many business owners can relate to. She was working two jobs while trying to grow her business, feeling overwhelmed and struggling to balance her work and personal life! As she joined our Momentum Mastermind program a year ago, she learned to make strategic decisions about her business. She gradually left her second job to focus on her own business and started hiring team members aligned with her mission, vision, and values. This is where things really started to change for Kari. Having a supportive team makes a huge difference in a business owner's life. It allows you to delegate tasks, focus on growth, and actually have time for yourself and your family. Kari found that with the right team members, she could achieve a much better work-life balance. This not only improved her quality of life but also contributed to the success of her business. Kari also discovered how important company culture is. When your team understands and embraces your mission, vision, and values, they're more satisfied in their roles. They feel part of something bigger than just a job. This leads to better performance, lower turnover, and ultimately, a more successful business. If you’re feeling overwhelmed too with your business and are starting to think about building a team, OR if you’re curious about how having a team could help you and your business, my LIVE FREE Masterclass Solo Stressed to Team Success is perfect for you! Head over to www.thelashpreneur.com/solostressed to register. In this free masterclass, you’ll learn what it’s really like to hire a team and how to hire smarter — without the headaches and heartaches that come with toxic hiring practices in the beauty industry!

    When to Give a Team Member a Raise... or Do You?

    Hey Lashpreneurs! In this week’s episode, we’re diving into another common question beauty business owners ask: “Do you recommend giving raises? How often, and how much?” There’s a big misconception that simply giving more money will solve the problem and keep team members around. But what many business owners tend to overlook is that it takes more than just money to retain a stellar team member. In today’s world, people aren’t just looking for higher pay — they want a workplace where they can grow, aligned with the mission, vision, and values of the company. We’re going to dig deep into this topic today! Also, a heads up — our ✨FREE✨ Solo Stressed to Team Success masterclass opens for registration in just 2 days! This masterclass is perfect if you want to know what pay structure is best to pay your team that’s competitive AND profitable, the 6-Step Hiring Process to attract your dream team candidates and so much more!! DM us #team on Instagram to get on the waitlist! But if you’re listening on or after September 11th, you can go ahead and register at www.thelashpreneur.com/solostressed See you in class!
