Let me know if this happened to you?
I opened my own salon because I kept thinking;"Hang on a minute, I’m doing all the clients, I’m working my ass off and the boss has all the choices. Why does he have all the holidays and the tight ass won’t even let me have one Saturday off, that’s just not fair! I can do it better than him, that’s it, I’m going to start my own salon, I want to be the boss, make all the decisions”!
How hard can it be?
Boy was I WRONG!
I had no idea how hard and because I have way too much pride, I used to lie about it. I would pretend it was all good, “how’s business Lisa”? my Dad would ask, “great, we are killing it”, when the truth was, it was killing me…
My creative side was slipping away, and I was working long hours to cover the bills.
I employed people to help me, but I all did was make a bigger mess.
When I finally took a Saturday off, forget that fairy tale I told myself pre-salon owner days, instead someone called in sick and who rushes in to do their clients? Yes, you guessed right - ME!
I remember thinking who signed me up for this!
Paying everyone’s wages, taxes, retirement funds, before mine and then going home to 3 kids at the end of the day to do the cooking and care for them, I quickly realized that I had given birth to another baby (my salon) only this baby never got any older it was like a newborn that always needed a bottle and a nappy change!
How was I ever going to get out of this position, I wasn’t happy in my marriage and I knew if I was going to be single again after 20 years of being in a relationship it was time to grow up and take responsibility for all my action including my financial responsibilities.
I never wanted to know about the back end of the business, I just wanted to be with my clients make them happy because I was good at that. But when my team leaves and I was left sweeping the floor late at night I started thinking, “everyone else gets to go home and switch off, why can't I?” I kept telling myself that it will get better soon, but it never did.
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Sunday afternoon and I spent three hours cleaning the salon, scrubbing down the skirting boards, filling up the shampoo bottles at the basin and making sure that when we opened the next day the team had everything they wanted and my husband rode past with our three kids on their bikes and I thought this is crap.
There has to be a better way and I needed to start owning my sh!t!
I had to be brave and admit to myself; "that it's okay to ask for help". The problem is nobody teaches you this stuff. I didn’t think it was important. What I realised is that for things to change, I had to be the one to change.
In my book THE NAKED SALON, I will tell you what I did next that started me on the journey to becoming a leader and I did it on my terms. Working hard is bullshit, working smart is where the magic happens.
