The $50k to $100k Formula (It's Just Math)

from Becoming a 5-Star Stylist · host Robert Alexander

This week I'm breaking down a formula that's never failed me. I'm introducing you to Arnold, a made-up hairstylist making $50,000 a year doing silk presses, quick weaves, and sew-ins. When we break down what he actually makes per hour on each service, the math tells a very different story than his price tags do. By the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to find the financial leak in your own service menu, and how a small pricing shift can nearly double your income.In this episode:Why your biggest ticket service might actually be costing you moneyHow to calculate your true hourly rate on every service you offerThe exact formula I used to hit six figures for the first timeWhy relationships, not one-off appointments, are what sustain real incomeWhy your habits and your "diet," not just food but media and people, affect your bottom linePrefer video?
