Work ON Your Business, Not IN It: The NBR Retreat | Episode 229

On this week's episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, Danielle welcomes Licensed NBR® Artists, Cyann Davis & Evelyne Pink to the show! When it comes to accomplishing something, all it takes is COMMITTING and doing the work!  Inside of our community - AKA - the Academy, we are all on the same page.  It's not all about doing hair, it's not even about doing extensions!  It’s about confidence. It’s about the lifestyle. It's about shifting your mindset.  The person that you become in the process is going to be mind blowing to you.  Even though you’re such a talented artist, even though you are doing ALL the work, there is SO much more to life than being a slave behind the chair.  We don’t all get the luxury of getting into the Academy right out of school, so most of us recognize really quickly that we have bad habits that need breaking.  Success doesn't mean having full books or burning yourself out. It means you love your job, you love your clients.  Your space is valuable. Your TIME is valuable.  Learn how to value yourself and take advantage of the NBR® Virtual Experience available now!  Over the course of 2-days we’ll teach you the art and science of NBR® along with the critical business, marketing, and sales mindset to help you succeed as an Artist.

On this week's episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, NBR® Educator Sarah Stephenson welcomes Licensed NBR® Artist Heather Ferrante onto the show! If you’re a Hairstylist, I want you to think back to when you first started. What made you decide to do hair? I bet you didn't decide to do hair to just be a slave behind the chair. That much is probably safe to assume. There is something SO empowering about going straight into the Academy from hair school. The biggest perk, you don’t have to go through all the bad habit-breaking things that are the hardest part. Not all of us get that privilege though, we have bad habits to break. We work long hours, we take all the clients, and we typically don’t have the greatest boundaries IF we have any at all. The biggest thing that is going to help you is making sure that you have a tribe behind your back and really helping youth succeed. Coming together as a tribe is one way to grow SO FAST... You want to surround yourself with people that are like you, people like are going to help lift you up & really help you to achieve those goals you’ve set for yourself. If you're ready to get out of your own way and be supported by the NBR® Tribe, then it's time to join us in education

On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, Danielle welcomes NBR® Educator Julia Ward onto the show!   When you are working in mom mode, you have to rewire your brain so that you can get it all done.    You are taught when you first get into the hair industry that you need to dive right in & work yourself to death practically.    Being a slave behind the chair is SO common in the hair industry.    We might look like we have it all, but we are wrapped up in more of the IDEA of success but we aren’t doing the things that matter.    You want to be able to clearly communicate to your guests so that you both WIN.    Hearing all the success stories is what is going to change the game for us.    We define success as having a full salon. When you actually do your numbers & realize how exhausted you are, is that really worth it? We need to start working smarter, not harder.  Freedom is really the end goal.  Freedom is what success really is.    If you feel like you’re doing the work, but you don’t have the results to show for it, then you’re just BUSY, you’re not actually doing the work.    Ready to get the results you’re looking for with the support of the NBR® Tribe?   Then it’s time you join DKW® Styling Academy!   Tried and true business coaching and extension education that’s been proven to work time and time again.   By joining The Academy you can be certain that your investment in yourself will pay off with our tuition-back guarantee!

On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, NBR® Danielle welcomes DKW® Styling Student Mycha Spencer onto the show to talk about her journey.   Mycha began her NBR® Journey at an NBR® Virtual Experience in March of 2022 and now we are getting ready to celebrate her as a Licensed Artist at Academy Convention in April.   Sharing your story is empowering to others, whether you believe that or not.   We totally get it, life gets in the way.   BUT - to be honest, there will be moments when you want to start looking for MORE.   Whatever it is, whatever stage of life you are in, you are always going to feel like there is something MORE out there for you.   That is growth.   Being able to share that story & journey with someone could impact their life.   It could give them the exact push they needed to make the jump they have been wanting to make.   Your story is inspiring!   When you are ready to do something different, you just have to jump right in.   Sometimes you want to reach out & get advice, just to get reassurance that you’re doing the right thing.   Having a community & tribe of people that have your back is SO important.   The thing about the Academy is that it is NOTHING like anything you have ever done.   There are going to be requirements, there is going to be WORK that you have to put in.   There are going to be moments when you ask yourself why you joined in the first place.   Because at the end of the day, growth Is hard. And it's uncomfortable at times!   But we're here to be your accountability partner.   The NBR® Team and Tribe are here to make YOU better. Together, we are here to give you the tools to change your life & that takes EFFORT.   When you have the least amount of time, that is when things come into your life that you need the most and you MAKE the time.   You really don’t realize that capacity that you have until you put yourself in a position that is going to push you.   Time becomes so much more valuable & precious.   It's easier to buy a program, BUT what sets The Academy apart from other companies, is that each team member wants to see you be the best version of yourself through the hard times.   And each member of the Tribe wants to empower you!   And at the same time, we are here to help & support you.   To teach you the tools and art of NBR®.   To support you each step along the way.   To push you when it just feels like too much.   BUT, it's ultimately up to you.   The confidence that you gain as a person each time you choose growth is empowering and life changing!   You want to be able to have success AND the time to do the things that you love.   So choose how you spend your time wisely, and more importantly choose who you spend your time with!   It’s time for you to join the NBR® Tribe and step into your power.   Step into a new season of growth.   And you’ll find that you are on a path towards not only becoming a better Artist but becoming a better parent, partner, sibling, and friend.   It’s never been about just pretty hair.   NBR® Education and The Academy is about you!   Your goals. Your dreams. Your empowerment.   Join us at DKW® Academy Convention and learn not only the art of Natural Beaded Rows® but also step into a new season of you and learn how to take your business to the next level.

Money is not just success.    Sure, success can be measured in making good money, but it’s also about not burning out.    You can do ALL the things you want to do.  You just have to break through certain mindsets in order to achieve that level of success.    The crazy thing is, once you get there, there is always more.  Just when you think you made it, there is always more.    There is always going to be more to life, but you HAVE to break through your own stories & thought processes.    I want you to ask yourself... Why can’t you do that?    If your only two choices are sink or swim, what happens when it becomes less about what you “can and cannot do” and more about if you give yourself permission to DO?   Make that LEAP in your mind.    You HAVE to believe in yourself. You HAVE to have confidence in yourself.    Your stories in your own mind dictate what you will & will not do.    They affect EVERYTHING.    Life, god, work, marriage, your bank account, what you eat, working out, etc. You tell yourself a story & that dictates your actions.    Your whole world is run by narratives & stories.    What you want to do is get the right stories, so the actions follow the right stories so that the right actions lead to the right results.   If you can’t change the stories, it doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll still get stuck & struggle.    Are you holding yourself hostage?  As much as you don’t want to accept the story, you don’t want to feel uncomfortable...  You have to start to recognize when you’re stuck & ask yourself WHAT would be possible if…. That wasn’t your story?    Instead of telling yourself all the reasons why you can’t do something, ask yourself why can’t you. What have you got to lose?    What would you have to do if you changed that story? How can you create, and what can you create once you give yourself permission?    Your rules are linked to your stories, & you can never outrun YOUR rules.    So, once you start making these choices, you will start to see MASSIVE shifts in your life.    YOU are the gateway to all of it.  If you don’t learn how to adjust & change YOU. You are going to believe what everybody around you says.    This is critical.    You get to determine the outcome.    Where do you want to go?    We don’t determine where you want to go, your stories drive your results. YOU DECIDE   What do you want the outcome to be? What story do you have to shatter to get the life you want?    In life, you are given the opportunity and your results are a direct reflection of the work you did & choices you made.    The choice is up to you.    If you’re ready to make a change then we’ve opened up a new opportunity for success to you!   Take control of your future and turn your license into a life of abundance. For the first time since 2018, DKW® Academy Convention is opening its doors to you! Yes, even if you're not in DKW® Academy Convention.  Get ready to join the NBR® Tribe to elevate your business game at the one-of-a-kind event where beauty and success converge!

On this episode of the BMS® Podcast, Danielle and her husband Garrett tackle the topic of mindset. A critical component to your success in anything you do!   Ask yourself, what is motivating you to push yourself to the next level?  Is it your clients, your family, or is it just because you want to grow?   Here’s the thing... You don’t know what you don’t know.    What is your business mindset? What is YOUR mindset on just life?    When your mindset shifts there is so much that can happen.    There are so many things that as hair stylists we are taught. We are taught that the client is the prize, that we take any & all services, we work late hours.    That right there is the wrong mindset.   WHY is our industry still operating in the mindset of disbelief; where you stand as “just” a hairdresser?   Being a hairstylist is what you do by trade, it's not who YOU are.    You are the prize. You are a powerful businessman and businesswoman. You have the tools to empower yourself and hundreds of men and women through your art.   Ready to light that fire and be empowered? Take control of your future and turn your license into a life of abundance. For the first time since 2018, DKW® Academy Convention is opening its doors for you! Yes, even if you're not in our Academy.   Get ready to join the NBR® Tribe to elevate your business game at the one-of-a-kind event where beauty and success converge!   Want to learn more?
