    Ep 7.20 - Listener Reply | How to Get Ready for Change

    In this listener-response episode, Kiné Corder coaches a business owner who knows they’ll need to close their business within six months. She walks through how to separate emotional attachment from financial realities, explore all practical options (closing now, scaling, selling, or condensing hours), and prepare mentally and financially for what’s next. Using visualization and mindset tools, she helps listeners build trust in themselves, embrace change, and move from shame and guilt toward relief, confidence, and a new vision for their future.   5 Key Takeaways [0:00] – The episode frames closing a business as a common but deeply emotional part of entrepreneurship, not a personal failure. [0:50] – Being good at business means being good at change—resisting change can be what holds a business back. [4:12] – Revisit your numbers to see if your six‑month plan is driven by logic or by emotional attachment to the business. [8:05] – If closure is inevitable, consider condensing hours, saving remaining profits, and quietly building what’s next. [10:30] – Use visualization to explore your next chapter so you can release the old venture and commit to a new direction with more confidence.   “We can get good at business, but part of being good at business is being good at changing.” – Kiné   Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/

    Ep 7.19 - Day 11 | Designing Your Retirement: A Barber’s Guide to Wealth, Freedom, and Location

    In this episode, Kiné Corder speaks directly to barbers—especially booth renters and suite owners—about the often-ignored topic of retirement planning. She shares her personal journey of realizing she had no clear retirement path, restructuring her investments from a Bitcoin IRA into a solo 401(k), and building a diversified portfolio across stocks, ETFs, bonds, and crypto. Kiné also explains why the rising cost of living in the US is pushing her to consider retiring abroad, and how geographic flexibility can turn a modest income into a comfortable lifestyle. Throughout, she emphasizes staying logical during market volatility and invites barbers to gain control over both their money and their long-term life plans. 5 Key Takeaways [0:00:41] – Kiné wants to help barbers, particularly booth renters and suite owners, build real retirement plans instead of leaving the industry to retire. [0:02:05] – Realizing she had no retirement path was a major reason she left the barber industry and became intentional about planning her future. [0:03:32] – She shifted gains from a Bitcoin IRA into a solo 401(k) while maintaining a Roth IRA and some remaining crypto exposure. [0:04:43] – Her portfolio is diversified across individual stocks, ETFs, a mutual fund, bonds, and crypto—aiming for balance rather than overexposure to any one asset. [0:08:10] – By staying calm and logical instead of panic‑selling during market drops, her portfolio recovered from about $103K to around $115K.   “I don’t want barbers to have to leave in order to retire from this industry, because there’s nothing better than barbering… it’s just the life—if you make it the right life.” – Kiné Corder  Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine   Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/

    Ep 7.18 - Day 10 | Building a Barber Community While Living Globally

    In this episode, host Kiné Corder shares a behind-the-scenes look at her journey building an online community for barbers while living a nomadic lifestyle between the U.S., Nice, and Dubai. She reflects on why barbers rarely ask for help, her ambitious goal of 40 one-on-one sessions with barbers, the early stages of a corporate mental health partnership in Dubai, and the tension between focusing on barbers, retreats, and personal routines while constantly on the move. 5 Key Takeaways (00:00:00) - Barbers often avoid asking for help due to strong intuition, ego, and long-practiced self-reliance.• (00:00:45) - Kiné is restructuring her life to spend less time in the U.S. and more time in Nice, which requires building an online barber community and income stream.• (00:03:51) - She’s appearing on the For the Culture podcast (United Barbers Club) and carefully choosing real, values-aligned platforms over “fake” sales-driven shows.• (00:05:10) - A new corporate partnership in Dubai is emerging, combining marketing with mental health counseling for founders and their teams.• (00:07:17) - Frequent travel makes it challenging to maintain a consistent morning routine and stay focused on the primary goal of serving barbers through 40 one-on-one sessions.   "I'm only building the barber community so I can find out what you need, so I can give it to you." - Kiné Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/

    Ep 7.17 - Day 9 | Build in Public: Why Barbers Don’t Ask for Help (and Why They Should)

    In this episode, Kiné reflects on why barbers rarely ask for help, how relying solely on intuition can limit growth, and how a numbers-focused strategy—developed with a colleague from a Goldman Sachs program—is reshaping her plan to build a thriving barber community. She walks through her targets for one-on-one sessions, the break-even number of barbers needed, ideas for in-person “barber lunch” events, and the importance of financial planning and reciprocity while building a business during tough economic times in Dubai and Las Vegas. 5 Key Takeaways [00:00:10] – Barbers often don’t ask for help because strong intuition, ego, and perceived wisdom make them feel they already know what to do. [00:01:40] – Partnering with a numbers-savvy, creative colleague helps turn intuitive ideas into concrete targets and financial projections. [00:03:40] – Hitting a break-even community of about 50 barbers will likely require increasing one-on-one sessions from 50 to around 70+. [00:04:20] – In-person marketing, such as intimate barber lunches with a VIP group of seasoned barbers, can deepen insight and strengthen the community. [00:07:33] – Building during a recession is risky but strategic if supported by clear financials, a basic cushion, and a commitment to reciprocity with barbers and their clients.   “You can only go off of intuition for so long where you really need data.” – Kiné Corder   Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/

    Ep 7.16 - Day 8 | Choosing Where to Build: Dual Income Streams, Dubai, and Designing a Mobile Business

    In this episode of What Keeps You Up At Night Podcast, host Kiné Corder reflects on balancing multiple income streams while staying focused on building one business at a time. She shares her emotional and strategic process of deciding where to live and where to launch her corporate retreat and barber-related ventures—between the UAE, Las Vegas, and Chicago. Kiné also talks about how global uncertainty affects money and anxiety, why she’s betting on economic incentives to drive change, and how she’s designing a mobile business model that can operate across both the UAE and the US.   5 Key Takeaways [0:00:00] – Balancing two income streams is important, but Kiné emphasizes you must build one business first before fully developing the second. [0:03:53] – Her top priority is starting, growing, and eventually scaling and selling a corporate retreat business, potentially leading to multiple retreat locations. [0:05:30] – Kiné has the strongest momentum in Dubai/UAE, with additional networks in Las Vegas and deep roots in Chicago that could all become viable business hubs. [0:07:29] – She already has three corporate opportunities in the UAE—a healthcare company, a hotel seeking an exclusive retreat partner, and a well-connected developer. [0:08:50] – She is exploring a mobile, dual-presence business structure (UAE + US) and a high-end hotel barbering concept, potentially priced to include a driver to manage heavy local traffic. Featured Quote “You can’t serve two masters… these are two different income streams, and I do believe that it’s important to have two income streams. However, you have to build one first.” – Kiné Corder    Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine   Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinecorder Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@prosperousbarber

    Ep 7.15 Why You’re Afraid to Ask for Money

    In this launch episode, financial hypnotherapist Kiné Corder dives into why asking for money—whether it’s raising your prices, quoting new clients, or asking for a raise—feels so uncomfortable. She breaks down the money mentality types, the money cycle (earn, grow, protect, gift, enjoy), and the four core money emotion categories that often start in childhood and quietly run your financial life. Kiné also introduces the Prosperous Barber Journal and shares how financial hypnotherapy can help barbers and entrepreneurs charge what they’re really worth while building long-term wealth and retirement security. 5 Key Takeaways (0:00:12) – Asking for money is a learned skill shaped by your money mentality and emotions, not just your pricing.• (0:04:15) – Each money personality type (spender, blamer, saver, enthusiast, hero, artist, president) has its own blind spots around asking for money.• (0:08:11) – Your core money beliefs are formed between ages 0–7 and then reinforced through your teen and early adult years.• (0:12:02) – Financial hypnotherapy can rapidly shift deep money patterns by creating a “life-changing event” in the brain.• (0:19:43) – True financial freedom requires mastering the full money cycle—especially growing and protecting your money, not just earning it. _______________ "You think you’re selling haircuts, but you’re not—you’re selling an experience, and that’s why you should be raising your prices." – Kiné Corder   Resources:   Prosperous Barber Journal: https://www.prosperousbarber.com/journal EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine   Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinecorder Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@prosperousbarber

    Ep 7.14 - Day 7 | Building in Public: Sacrifice, Space, and Turkey Bacon

    In this episode, Kiné Corder shares a candid, behind-the-scenes moment over a turkey bacon sandwich to explore what it really means to “build in public.” She talks about the lifestyle and financial sacrifices required to grow both her therapy practice and her work with barbers, the trade-offs between luxury and purpose, and her vision for intimate in-person gatherings with barbers to better understand their needs. Along the way, she reflects on her dietary choices, cultural background, and the encouragement that fuels her steady, intentional growth.   5 Key Takeaways (0:00) – Building in public involves real-life trade-offs, even down to everyday routines like food and lifestyle. (0:04) – Choosing where to live is shaped less by luxury and more by having a practical workspace and a place to gather barbers. (0:05) – Sacrifice isn’t only financial or material; it can also be mental and emotional. (0:07) – Kiné aims to grow steadily in two directions—her therapy practice and her teaching work with barbers—without letting them compete. (0:08) – Encouragement from supporters and the barber community fuels her motivation as she batch records content for YouTube and social media.   “I’m working to do only what’s important and never let it get to urgent, so I can grow steadily while I build in public and serve barbers at a higher level.” Resources: EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine   Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinecorder Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@prosperousbarber

    Ep 7.13 - Beyond Barbering: Building Wealth and Wellness From the Chair You Already Have

    In this episode, Kiné Corder speaks directly to barbers who feel capped out—booked solid but not truly building wealth or peace of mind. Drawing on her background as a former barber, financial advisor, and clinical mental health counselor, she introduces the idea of going “beyond barbering” by adding smart systems, new revenue streams, and mental-health tools to the work you already do behind the chair. She walks listeners through the real problem (confusion and capped income), explains why the solution isn’t more hours but a better model, and gives a taste of her “calm optimal brain” and vision-session process to help barbers design a prosperous, sustainable lifestyle from the foundation they’ve already built. 5 Key Takeaways [0:01:00] – You’re booked, but not building wealth• Many barbers are maxed out on time and energy yet still not financially secure or retirement-ready. [0:06:30] – Client stress is “mental hair” you must learn to sweep away• Kiné shows why barbers need tools to clear clients’ emotional baggage just like they sweep hair off the floor. [0:12:30] – You don’t need a new career, you need a new system• The path to prosperity is adding smarter structures and income streams to what you already do, not abandoning the chair. [0:16:00] – Your current clients can become multiple revenue streams• From subscriptions and products to affiliate offers, the same clientele can pay you in more than one way without adding hours. [0:32:30] – Vision + subconscious alignment is the starting point• The vision session taps into your subconscious “real” goals so you can build a business and lifestyle that actually match who you are.   “You are the thing that you’re doing right now. What you’re doing is fine—it’s the way that you’re doing it. You’re going to have to change the way that you’re doing the thing that you’re doing, because there’s a missing piece, and it’s not hours, it’s a different system.” – Kiné    Resources:   EveryExpert Link: https://www.everyexpert.com/kine   Connect with Kine LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kinecorder/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinecorder/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kinecorder Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@prosperousbarber
