This episode unpacks: The questions every salon owner should ask before hiring a coach Why experience from 10+ years ago isn't enough in today's industry The difference between great marketing and real business results How to stop buying emotion and start buying proven strategy This episode might ruffle a few feathers, but if you're trusting someone to shape your business, they should be able to prove they've built one worth copying.
