43| Financial Freedom Behind the Chair Isn't a Fantasy: My Real Numbers After 40 Years

from Cutting Through It | Hair Stylists, Clientele, Income, Salon, Cosmetologist · host Sherri Brodie | Hairstylist, Business Coach

Do you ever wonder what your numbers would actually look like if you stopped guessing and started really knowing your business? Have you ever quietly wished you could scale back your schedule… without your income falling apart? Do you keep your personal and business money so tangled together that you couldn't tell someone your real numbers if you tried? In this episode of Cutting Through It, I'm getting personal about my own numbers after 40 years behind the chair, including the schedule I run today and what it actually took to get here. Because the truth is…for a long time, I had no real idea what I was actually making. In this episode, I'm walking you through the story behind my numbers, the early years of breaking even, the burnout that followed, and the shift that changed everything about how I run my business today. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why “two days a week” almost sounds like a fantasy — and what it actually took to get there The real reason I had no idea what I was making for years What finally forced me to get honest about my numbers The one money habit I wish I'd started years earlier Why breaking my numbers apart changed how I saw my entire business What gave me permission to finally scale back my schedule If you're ready to stop guessing about your business and start building a schedule and income that actually works for your life, I'd love for you to join me inside my free workshop: FREE RESOURCES Free Tutorial + Checklist: 5 Ways to Get More Clients in Your Chair Discover five practical strategies you can start using today to attract more of the right clients and build a stronger business. https://www.onpointhairbysherri.com/free-training Visit My Website Explore free resources, courses, podcast episodes, and tools to help you build a thriving career behind the chair. https://www.onpointhairbysherri.com Join My Free Facebook Community Connect with other hairstylists who are building their businesses with confidence, clarity, and support. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2749808815367908/ Follow Me YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook: @onpointhairbysherri Enjoying the Podcast?
