Highlight 8: What to outsource if you want to grow?

In this highlight, Samara and Jen explore the important distinction between scaling and growing a salon business. They share insights from an inspiring business leader who explains how scaling involves expanding your team and stepping away from the floor, while growing focuses on increasing efficiency by adding support without necessarily increasing the size of the team. They discuss practical tips for salon owners, such as hiring the right staff to support growth, like a receptionist, salon assistant, or social media manager. They also talk about the importance of understanding the roles you delegate, making sure you know how things work before outsourcing tasks like bookkeeping. The conversation emphasizes that success doesn’t always mean scaling up with a large team—it’s about finding the balance that works for your goals. Samara and Jen provide valuable advice on managing growth and deciding if scaling or growing is right for your business. Inspired?
