E190 - It's Not Mean. It's Clear. The Real Reason Managing People Is So Hard.

from Brand Talk With Rachel and Drew · host Drew Thomas

Managing people is the hardest part of owning a business and nobody teaches you how to do it. This episode breaks down exactly why feedback feels like an attack, how to stop running the ball yourself and what it actually takes to build a team that performs without you. Brand Talk with Rachel & Drew is the podcast for salon owners who are great at their craft, capped by their hours, done making the big brands richer & ready to build a product brand THEY actually own. Each week, Rachel & Drew Thomas break down how they built a private-label hair extension brand inside their own salons & how hundreds of salon owners are now doing the same. You get the REAL systems, the ACTUAL numbers & none of the hustle-harder noise. You bring the 10 percent only you can bring, and we show you the engine that carries the rest. If you are done trading hours for dollars, follow the show and start building something YOU own. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ► ATTEND A BRAND WORKSHOP (start here) https://www.thebyob.com/discovery-session ► WORK WITH US + FREE TOOLS Build your business (course): https://course.thebyob.com/business-edition The AI Team Playbook (free): https://course.thebyob.com/ai-team-playbook Leave a review + send a screenshot, get our BYOB Hiring Guide free: https://www.thebyob.com/review ► WATCH + LISTEN YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Brandtalkwithrachelanddrew Podcast: https://themilliondollarsalon.podbean.com/ ► FOLLOW Rachel: https://www.instagram.com/rachelpaigexo Drew: https://www.instagram.com/mdrewthomas Boulevard ambassador: https://get.joinblvd.com/ambassador-rachel-paige/ #salonownereducation #salonownership #salonowners #hairextensions #salonbusiness #productbrand #recurringrevenue DISCLAIMER Rachel and Drew are not CPAs, attorneys, insurance agents, contractors, lenders, or financial advisors.
