My instructor always asks us if we plan on being the person behind the chair who is broke or rich. Meaning if you're broke, you have time to sit around because you have no clients. If you're rich, you always have a client in your chair. I plan on being the rich one, not the broke one.
My student loans are my motivation for this.
So is your plan right now to be a rich stylist or a salon owner?
Or one and then the other?
The goals in this order are:
1. Graduate in January 2017
2. Get hired on at a chain salon and gain "real world" experience for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. Also, this is the average amount of time a stylist normally takes to get a full book going.
3. Go back to school to get my Educator's license
4. Research and develop a tangible business plan for possible salon ownership/partnership, including marketing research (demographics, need for business, specialties, targeted age groups etc)
After all research has been conducted and it would look like my salon would be successful in the desired demo-graphical area, start to apply for small business loans and be able to show I have at least 25% of the start up costs saved up.

Well, if there was a ceiling on my model, the cameras would be appropriately placed in the office, at the reception area, outside the entrances and exits, and in the dispensary.
No - not in the bathroom. (thinking this is what you wanted me to say, but I could be so totally wrong)
