Equipment to outfit a hair, nail or tanning salon ranges from basic to extravagant, with a vast array of equipment falling somewhere in the middle. Basic, inexpensive, salon equipment may be well suited for a start-up venture or for a salon owner who values simplicity. On the other hand, a veteran salon owner’s business may benefit from more expensive salon equipment that helps streamline services provided to the clientAn example of a simplistic and basic piece of salon equipment is a basic barber's chair. The barber’s chair is typically a chair that features a thickly padded seat, for comfort, as well as the ability to recli

As my marriage waned and ended, I bought and moved into a new home. The transition has taken more energy than I’d imagined. There were days when I just “didn’t have it in me” to do more than the very basics. However, I had to keep my business running so income would continue during the transition.
While I’m hoping you don’t have to go through a major life change like mine, the odds are good that at some point in your entrepreneurial career the Universe is going to throw you a curve ball. Whether it’s a messy marriage, an ailing relative, or a new baby, you’re life is going to change. Here are six tips to help you ensure that your business doesn’t have to suffer as you adapt.
1. Be prepared. I know, it’s a clich?, but during the past 7 months the fact that I had spent so much time preparing my business to essentially run without me was a lifesaver! Every day ask yourself what would happen if you weren’t at the helm of your business. Keep track of tasks that you can outsource and things you can do to prepare others to help you out. Do one thing every day to ensure you’re prepared.
2. Work on your business, not in it. I’m not sure I’d still be in business if I were the only person working in it. During the months that I was preparing to move, moving and adjusting to my new life, I was simply going through the motions in many areas of my life. When life throws you curveballs, you do the best you can to adapt. But I am so thankful that my mentors and coaches helped me get out of the trenches years ago. When I needed to be away, my unbelievably talented team was keeping things going. Sure, I was checking in, but because I had built a team of trustworthy, talented and professional people, I could concentrate on the life issues that needed my attention and not worry about the company going out of business.

Exit interviews are sometimes held at inopportune times, especially from the viewpoint of the employee when he or she is either laid off or fired. Nevertheless, they are a must for progressive companies that want to look inward for reasons for an employee's exit.There are different viewpoints about these interviews as to the need for them in the first place. Should the exiting employee participate in it? If yes, how will it benefit him or her? Secondly, an exiting employee can hardly afford to ignore the fact that his or her revelations can be used against them, especially if they are in writing.Participating In the E

Distributorships that dominate the world of distribution by always performing in the upper quartile of their industry and those which will play an even greater role in the foreseeable future generally have characteristics that often create a large and incredibly complex set of independent relationships between highly diverse groups of people. Problems with staffing and retention often apparent in their counterparts, the lower quartile performers, may not be due to bad hires or a low unemployment rate. In fact, they may be related to poor leadership insight by not recognizing employees as a core competency in the business strategy.

What is the 80/20 Rule?More formally the 80/20 rule is also known as the Pareto Principle. To Quote Wikipedia: "The Pareto principle… known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few…Business management thinker Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy went to 20% of the population."We hear the 80/20 rule as it is applied to business and sales. Twenty percent of your employees produce 80% of a companies problems, 80% percent of your corporate sales are produced by 20% of your sales force and in network marketing, 80% of your p
3. Work your systems. Two years ago my marketing coach helped me create on-going marketing systems to keep clients flocking to me. They are more or less on “auto pilot” these days, and that’s what kept me afloat. Some of the systems I depend on include regularly speaking to groups, teaching classes, attending structured networking meetings and outsourcing work. While I was on my mini-sabbatical, I could attend to each of these because they were easy for me. There are a couple of classes that I teach regularly that were on my schedule and I didn’t have to do anything new to make them happen. The same with my speaking topics. My Business Networking International (http://www.alexandriathegreat.biz) Group meets every Thursday and it’s a structure I’m not only familiar with, but one that I really enjoy in my role as the group’s Vice President. I didn’t have to do anything new to keep up that commitment. By having these and other events that were familiar, easy and effective on my calendar I continued to bring in clients as well as keep some level of “order” in my chaotic life.
4. Reach out. Beyond the business, I found that reaching out and letting others know when I needed help was useful. Admittedly, this is the single hardest thing for me to do in any area of my life. (Somehow, when I hire people, I don’t consider it “reaching out for help,” but when I ask someone to help me build a piece of furniture I do.) I’m learning that by asking for and graciously accepting help my life is more fun and I have more energy for people, animals and activities that are important to me.
5. Learn from your failures. I’d say ending a marriage does feel like a failure. The self-doubt and self-incriminations can be paralyzing. What I’ve learned from the entire experience is that forgiving yourself for mistakes is important. But it’s equally important to assess what went wrong, what you’d like to change and what you’ll do moving forward. I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned through this pr
