Episode Highlights
“One of the best ways that you can stand out is by doing what other people don’t do, and by injecting some of that personality into what you do, because ultimately someone can’t copy you. If you are going to be truly authentically you, warts and all as they say, then that’s actually very, very difficult for someone to copy.” – 4:30 – Ryan Power
“Do more video, particularly spontaneous video, because again that gets more of your real personality across.” – 6:40 – Ryan Power
“If you are going for a more involved treatment that maybe incurs a little bit of discomfort, then going somewhere where you feel safe and where they’re going to make it a fun and enjoyable experience for you is a really wonderful thing you can do.” – 9:55 – Hollie Power
“As long as you’re bringing a new team member in because you’ve got enough work on your plate, you’ve got the money coming in, you’ve got the stability of your business, you understand your marketing and your client base, and you can bring that person in to start offloading some of that work, then the time is right.” – 13:00 – Hollie Power
“There’s lots of different breaking points that’ll make you decide but my advice would be: Don’t rush into the decision. You don’t need to hire somebody next week. Do your research, make sure you’ve got all your boxes checked, but don’t be terrified of it because it’s really the quickest way that you can move forward and achieve your goals – particularly if they are financial, growth, or freedom goals.” – 15:10 – Hollie Power
“That concept of someone else’s salary depending on you is the terrifying bit for a lot of people. Whereas if you’re just employing people for the hours they’re working, then you’ve got huge flexibility, and of course the modern world is really set up for that.” – 17:25 – Ryan Power
“I’ve never wanted to push myself out as an influencer, it’s never really been my vibe. But what ultimately happened, of course, is we’ve connected with lots of salon owners. Sometimes you put something out there and people tell me it helps them, and that’s still hard to cope with sometimes, because sometimes I think ‘Oh my god, who am I? Who do I think I am?’. But you’ve just got to lead authentically.” – 21:40 – Hollie Power
“A meal at the Overlook Grill was probably one of our best meals purely because we had a wonderful waitress, Hallie, who actually seemed to want to make sure we had a really good time – which is why it’s so important if you employ staff in your business that you get the right people and not just any old people!” – 32:00 – Hollie Power
