If you want to increase your salon income, stop wasting energy comparing yourself to other professionals. It\u2019s time to focus on your biggest competition: <\/span>yourself. <\/b>The minute you take your eyes off your goals, you start to lose sight of why you started in the first place. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a business owner, you\u2019re always working toward the goal of making more money. Your ultimate goal could be to work less, make an impact on your community, or build an empire, either way — increasing your salon income will pave the way. But, none of this is possible unless you are constantly making small improvements. You don\u2019t have to work yourself into the ground: it\u2019s about making step by step improvements over time. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re familiar with the <\/span>SMART<\/span><\/a> goal setting method, you know goals should be <\/span>specific<\/b> and <\/span>measurable, <\/b>so<\/span> saying \u201cI want to make more money this year\u201d isn\u2019t going to cut it. The best place to start? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to increase my daily earnings by X%.\u201d AND \u201cI want to increase my average ticket by X%.\u201d <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

With StyleSeat\u2019s new Stats Bar, you can keep a close eye on your hourly wage, average ticket price, and daily earnings. That way, when you set goals for yourself at the beginning of the day, you can track your progress. <\/span><\/p>\n

EARNED AND PROJECTED<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every day, you\u2019ll be able to check your <\/span>projected earnings<\/b> from the Home tab — this is the amount of money you are expected to make based on how many services you have booked for the day and how much they cost. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, if your projected earnings for the day are $500 and your goal is to increase your daily earnings by 25%, you need to make an additional $125 today. How are you going to do it? <\/span><\/p>\n
