    How to Make Money From Hair Products You Never Stock | Victoria Domazet

    If you hate selling salon retail, this episode is for you.  Because what my guest is sharing doesn’t involve spending $12,000 on a grand opening order, there’s no stock sitting on a shelf for a year, and zero pushy pitching at the basin. My guest is Victoria Domazet, founder of Digital Salon Retail. Vic is a hairdresser of 23 years, a home salon owner, and a three-time AHFA Australian Hair Educator of the Year finalist. She also calls herself the worst at selling retail - until one day she sends a client an affiliate link for a hairdryer. She doesn't even remember doing it. Yet soon she has a $40 credit in her account, and that moment flipped everything she thought she knew about salon retail. Vic explains how affiliate marketing for hairdressers works and why traditional retail shuts out independent hairstylists and home salons. She also shows why the product link or screenshot you send a client is a paid job. We unpack the fear of being salesy, the money stories behind it, and why Vic now talks about retail more than ever. If you're an independent hairstylist, home salon owner, or salon owner who wants to earn from your expertise without more hours behind the chair, hit play now.

    What IVF Actually Involves (Day By Day Needle By Needle)

    I’ve spent 6-figures, sold two cars and an investment property, and been stabbed in the guts twice a day for weeks on end.  This is the episode where I finally tell you what IVF actually involves. I explain how an egg retrieval cycle works, why my ovaries swelled from three centimetres to fifteen, what a frozen embryo transfer really involves, and how our little boy came from the worst cycle we have ever done. My doctor nearly cancelled it twice. I also break down the true cost of IVF in Australia, what Medicare and private health do and do not cover, and why we sold so much to make this happen. You’ll hear about Cam's role in the process, how our scientist inseminates the eggs, and how a miscarriage led me to take a 14 month break for my mental health before trying again. Plus the moment we heard a heartbeat for the very first time. If you are starting IVF, sitting in the two week wait, or supporting someone who is, press play and hear what infertility treatment really looks like.

    What NOT To Say To Someone Going Through IVF (Real Comments I've Received)

    "Just relax." "Have you tried fish oil?" "At least you can get pregnant". Every single comment in this episode was actually said to me during my IVF journey. I’m sharing my IVF journey in a three-part series, and this week is the one your friends need you to hear. I go through the real things people have said to me while I'm mid-cycle, mid-miscarriage, and mid-life. I explain why each one lands like a brick and what to say instead. I also share the list of everything we've actually tried, from acupuncture and 64 supplements to genetic testing and specialty fertility drugs. That list exists so you understand why "have you tried X, Y, or Z" is the wrong question. I talk about the 196 needles in two months, the car I sold to pay for a cycle, and why nobody goes through this by choice. Whether you're supporting someone through fertility treatment or living it yourself, press play. Tune in to hear about: 💜 Why people deep in IVF rarely have the capacity to ask for help (and one question that can help) 💜 The exact lines I use to shut down a conversation… use these if you’re struggling 💜 Why unsolicited advice hurts most in the exact moment people think it helps 💜 A 4-year list of therapies, tests, and treatments I’ve tried 💜 The counterintuitive yet kind gesture from a near stranger that other people need to model Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro 00:13:04 Your Hard Isn't Hard 00:16:08 The Family Question 00:23:20 Just Stop Stressing 00:28:07 It Wasn't Meant To Be 00:33:00 Manifest A Baby 00:37:31 Have You Tried… 00:47:11 Everything We've Tried 00:51:00 How To Actually Support - 👉Find out more about how we can work together: https://iconiccoaching.com.au/coaching/ Support the show - 👉Here’s how to connect: https://www.instagram.com/tellmeaboutit__podcast https://iconiccoaching.com.au

    The Truth About the NDIS the Media Keeps Getting Wrong | Claire Burton

    Nobody hands you a manual for turning childhood abuse, addiction, and burnout into a thriving business, so Claire Burton wrote her own. In this episode of Tell Me About It, I talk with Claire Burton. Claire is the founder and CEO of Evolution Launch Support Services - an NDIS provider built on lived experience. Claire opens up about surviving childhood abuse, a drug addiction that once kept her alive, ten months in rehab, and the burnout from child protection work that nearly broke her body. We also dig into foster care and the broken parts of the child safety system. Claire also shares how she met her wife Megan in an unlikely place, the truth about coming out later in life, facing homophobia on the Gold Coast, and the biggest myths the media spreads about the NDIS and disability support in Australia.

    The Salon Owner Who Built a 7 Figure Business From $300 | Mikki Auld

    Mikki Auld built a seven-figure salon - and then she did something most owners never dare to do. She made herself unnecessary. In this episode of Tell Me About It, Cait Muir sits down with Mikki Auld (hair colorist, educator, and founder of Paloma Roan and Mikki Auld Education). Her story starts with just $300 in the bank and it ends (so far) with three salons opened, two sold, and a seven-figure salon business that runs without her - all while she lives on the other side of the world. Mikki shares the systems, structures, and mindset shifts that let her step away from the day-to-day grind, and even move to the USA. She also gets real about starting again in a brand new country, building a client base from scratch, and why she keeps betting big on herself, both in business and in life. If you feel chained to your chair, this episode shows you another way. Tune in to hear: 💜 The real story behind building a seven-figure salon from a $300 start 💜 What it takes to create a salon that runs without you 💜 One hire that finally let Mikki step away (It’s NOT another manager) 💜 The surprising reason Mikki took her own name off the salon 💜 The “major retail store” secret she used to operate her salon from day one 💜 How Mikki went from knowing nobody in the US to fully booked in 12 weeks 💜 The old-school marketing move that built over 50% of her US clients 💜 How she landed features in Goop, Marie Claire, and InStyle without paying a cent 💜 How one online course launch made $30,000 overnight 💜 Why every salon owner needs more than one income stream 💜 The link between entrepreneurial brains, creativity, and anxiety Key moments: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:00 Meet Mikki Auld 00:04:40 Planning the secret move 00:10:20 Skin in the game 00:15:00 Think bigger early 00:21:50 Breakdown after London 00:31:45 Giant Post-it goals 00:40:31 Thirty grand overnight 00:44:12 Old-school flyer marketing 00:59:30 Freezing her eggs 01:16:43 Start again anytime - 👉Connect with Mikki: https://www.instagram.com/mikkiauld - 👉Learn from Mikki: Stand Out Salon Academy - https://www.mikkiauld.com/standout-salon-academy  Stand Out Stylist Blueprint - https://mikki-auld.myflodesk.com/cv6574io8i Free Guide For Salon Owners - https://mikki-auld.myflodesk.com/jlobaaxqxg Support the show - 👉Here’s how to connect: https://www.instagram.com/tellmeaboutit__podcast https://iconiccoaching.com.au

    Are you blaming the algorithm, the economy, your clients, or your marketing… when the real problem is what’s broken inside your business? In this episode of Tell Me About It, I sit down with Chrissy Alger, founder of Freedom Mastery and Beast Mode Marketing, for a brutally honest conversation about building wealth, scaling beauty businesses, and creating freedom without burning yourself into the ground.
