Apart from the day to day business activities that we have to deal with, there are many personal pitfalls that we can encounter, many of which can affect the overall success of our treatment centre, for example stress, burnout, managing your home life as well as your salon. So, if you want a successful, thriving business you must take care of yourself first, not last, as so many salon owners and managers are inclined to do.
• Being a brilliant therapist and an excellent manager is important when it comes to setting up a successful business, but having a clear mind, stamina and a body with enough energy to do what you ask of it is equally as important.
• Don't give up your hobbies. Running a salon is one of life's greatest challenges, but maintaining a balance in your life and doing the other things you love will allow you to go back to work feeling bright and fresh.
• Try to separate your work life from your home life.
• Being the boss can sometimes be a tough station. Never be too hard on yourself - maintain your enthusiasm by maintaining your health.
• Learn to handle your stress. It affects us all in different ways and we should not underestimate the effect it can have on us, both physically and mentally.
• Learn to listen to your instincts - they are normally right. If you find yourself in a situation that you have reservations about, ask for time to consider the proposition.
• Take regular holidays, even though there is never a good time. If you want to give your best to your clients and your staff, you must recharge your batteries, regularly. (Aim for one week off every three months)
• Don't be afraid to make changes and know when to call it a day.
