What is business coaching?

Salon business coaching is a process used to take a business from where it is now to where the owner ideally wants it to be. A business coach will assist and guide the owner in growing their organization by helping them gain clarity of their vision and objectives and how it fits in with their personal goals.

Since 1995, Salon/Spa business coaching has been one of the most sought after and vital programs offered by Inspiring Champions. Our coaches are the best in the business! Our top priority is to get you to your desired finish line in the fastest, easiest and most effective way using our proven and repeatable systems to accelerate your growth and success.

Setting goals is a critical part of running a business that is often overlooked. You must have a clear understanding of exactly what you want to achieve before you can formulate a plan. A business coach will help you to think more strategically to see how every move you make puts you one step closer to your goals.

Your business coach with help you with everything from developing a budget, structuring your P & L correctly for the salon/spa industry, pricing services, structuring compensation, growing profits and much, much more.
The #1 goal of all business owners should be to make a profit. Yet why is it that so few do? Often, they lack the clarity, knowledge and a strategy to make it happen. With the support of your coach together you will create a strategy with action steps to create a thriving and profitable business.

It can be difficult to see all of the diverse ways to tackle a problem by yourself. A business coach is a great sounding board and a creative thinker who always has ideas you may never have considered.

Business coaching goes beyond just growing your business. The skills and knowledge you will learn will also help you to grow as a person and a great leader.

In addition to helping you set your goals, a business coach will keep you focused on the end result and remind you why it is important. They will motivate you to keep your commitments. They will act as a sounding board and when needed hold a mirror in front of you, highlighting your business and personal blind spots.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you’re juggling so many different things at once. A business coach helps you to see the big picture and then focus on the specific areas that need your attention right away.

An experienced business coach has seen it all—the good, the bad, and the ugly. You simply can’t discount the wisdom and value that a business coach provides, that will fast forward you through the many challenges and obstacles, that they have helped so many other business owners work through to achieve their goals and dreams.

One of the remarkable benefits of coaching is that there’s always another challenge to face and more goals to accomplish. Working with a business coach puts an advocate in your corner every step of the way guiding you on your road to success.

What coaching clients say

Coral Pleas

By working with my Inspiring Champions Coach, I found someone who has the financial background to teach me about my P&L and budget, which made it possible to grow to five salons in five years.  The salons have been profitable from the day they opened.  We’ve never put a dime back in… and owners get paychecks!

Bekah Hauert

When we started coaching, our business was struggling in many different areas because we didn’t have any direction when we opened our salon. Through coaching, we have gotten much more clarity in what we are doing and why we are doing it. We now make a profit, instead of just making ends meet. We have policies and procedures in place for our team. Coaching has given us the direction we needed as a business owners. Now, we have an amazing team, and know we will run a profitable business for years to come.

I took a leap of faith and signed up for a Coach at my first Inspiring Champions Workshop. I was overwhelmed with all the new systems I was learning, and I knew I would need someone to hold me accountable to help me learn all the IC systems.
