What else do you do?

I know you do nails, but what else do you do?

How long do you spend at work when you are not doing nails?

What does your station look like, what does your bathroom look like?

How long each day do you spend creating a clean, comfortable, relaxing, happy place for your clients.

How long do you spend between clients cleaning and sanitizing your station and your implements?

What do you charge for a set of nails?

Think about that tonight and come back tomorrow for something else to think about.

Tips

Would you be willing to drop your prices to $0.00 and work only for tips? Think about that for a while.

Would you actually be willing to give your services away for free, without the expectation for payment? What would happen if you did?

Would your income increase or decrease.

Tell all of your clients that you are no longer charging for your services and will now only be working for tips.

Would your business change, would you do anything different?

Think about that tonight and come back tomorrow for something else to think about.

Master Nail Technician

Are you a “Master Nail Technician”? Or even a “Grand Master” or how about a “Super Grand Poobah Master Squared”?

Thank about what that means for a second. Does it mean that you are in the top 1% of your field or does it mean you went to a couple of classes 10 years ago. Think about what it should mean.

If you don’t have an esteemed title, what do you think you should have to do to get one? What do you think you should have to do to keep the title? How do you think you should run your business if you are a "Master Nail Technician"?

Think about that tonight and come back tomorrow for something else to think about.
