So You Can Learn How to HIRE YOUR FIRST PROFIT PRODUCING DREAM TEAM MEMBER the Right Way and Learn How to Pay Yourself Without Trading Your Time For Money

How to HIRE YOUR FIRST PROFIT PRODUCING DREAM TEAM MEMBER the Right Way and Learn How to Pay Yourself Without Trading Your Time For Money

Proven Step by Step Profit Producing Team Building Training by 12 year beauty industry veteran and business coach, Tara Walsh, reveals how you too can STOP TRADING YOUR TIME FOR MONEY AND START TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT GROWING YOUR TIME SPENT IN IT!

Hiring your first (or 5th!) team member can be confusing, disappointing, frustrating, expensive and even downright scary if you don’t do it right!

And today with all of the “creative” (albeit mostly illegal) hiring practices in our industry… it’s really hard to know how to do it in a way that’s going to give you that time and financial freedom you’re craving by leading and managing this dream team you desire!

  • Do you pay hourly or commission?
  • How much should you pay them?
  • Should they have experience?
  • How are you going to keep them busy while also managing your client load?
  • What happens when a team member calls out sick on a busy day and you have no one to cover her clients?

  • Should they have experience?
  • How are you going to keep them busy while also managing your client load?
  • What happens when a team member calls out sick on a busy day and you have no one to cover her clients?

The cold hard truth is … 

if you don’t hire team members who produce PROFIT in the business, YOU will stay stuck in the treatment room, trading your time for money, barely paying yourself a liveable wage while your team is taking home 50% (or more) of the business’ sales!

Take a look at the salons with teams in your area and show me how many owners, who are paying 50% commission or more, are still stuck in the treatment room? How much turnover are they seeing in their team members? Are their team members illegally misclassified as independent contractors or paid “under the table” thus avoiding federal employment laws? 

This is how salon owners become the most overworked and underpaid team member in their business.

“If you keep doing more of what you're already doing - you're going to keep getting more of what you're already getting.”

When the business owner PRIORITIZES Profitable decisions in the business, she…

  • Is able to pay herself consistently, so that she is not making scarce financial and impulsive decisions in the business.
  • Is able to step out of the treatment room and actually train, manage and LEAD her team so THEY feel supported and appreciated and valued for the work they do.
  • Is able to be intentional about the team culture and benefits provided by the company to retain her Dream Team players. 
  • Can prioritize her own mental and emotional well being because if the owner tanks - so does the business…

Let’s Talk “HOW MUCH?”!

Any savvy business owner who wants to prioritize profitability in their business MUST be mindful of where their money is invested. This means we’ve got to consider the RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) on any money we use to grow the business.

My personal goal is to ALWAYS ensure there’s a no brainer ROI on any of our programs! So the investment into this program was chosen to ensure YOU get a stellar ROI AND an ongoing ROI because these are processes you’ll be able to repeat in your business ANYTIME you want/need to hire.

So let’s walk through HOW TO CONSIDER the ROI of learning how to build a profitable team… the right way!

I want you to take the average hourly rate you charge for an hour of your time. I’m going to use the example of $80/hr to keep the math simple.

Let’s say your new profit producing team member is going to work for you 20 hours a week… but I’m going to be EXTREMELY conservative that she won’t be fully booked and producing sales and profits for every minute of every hour worked.

So let’s look at her being busy HALF the hours she’ll be available.

10 hours/week taking $80/hr clients = $800 in sales a week.
$800/week x 4 weeks = $3200/month in sales

So that ONE team member, very part time, taking clients ONLY half the time she’s available would generate roughly around $3200 in sales if she’s averaging $80/hr in sales. AND THAT’S JUST ONE MONTH OF HER GENERATING SALES.

If you look at the year of what she could produce - that’s $38,400 of sales generated in your business that had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR TIME!!!

However, because you are reading this durig our biggest promotion of the year, I've decided to take $1000 OFF for my "SOLO STRESSED TO TEAM SUCCESS" MASTERCLASS ONLY PROMOTION of just 4 installments of $497.75

So as long as your new team member produces $2000 of sales at any point in her time working for you - you've more than covered your incestment into learning how to hire profitably!


***side note - you get to keep the trainings and the processes to wash, rinse repeat your next hire FOR LIFE!
🚨SPECIAL OFFER🚨 Join us inside of the Xcelerator BEFORE midnight on Sunday, October 6th for just $497.75 TODAY


***then just 3 monthly installments of $497.75!

You have a choice to make…

The first choice is to do nothing and think “I’ll figure it out when the time is right”.

But if nothing changes, then nothing changes.

Cause when is the right time? Do you know? In fact, if you don’t know, how long have you been putting THIS off and using “now isn’t the right time” as your excuse? How much more time are you willing to waste to get more of your time back? Hiring a team can be a lot like having kids - you know you want ‘em - but the truth is - the time is never “perfect” or “right”, is it?

But when you get clear on what you want and you’re committed to making it happen - you DECIDE that NOW is as good a time as ever and you’re going to MAKE it happen. And that’s the choice you have to make today.

But if you already know you can’t continue to trade your time for money, and stay stuck on this hustle hamster wheel to nowhere - never having enough time to live the life you desire… then why not START today so that you don’t delay freeing your precious time up for one more minute - because if you get started TODAY - you are that much closer to no longer trading YOUR time for money.

Because building a team is going to cost you one of two things…

TIME or MONEY

And what is the one thing we can’t make more of in life?

Time.

So why waste any more of it when we could be building out a team to free our time up?

The choice is yours.

Join Society Xcelerator today and in the next 90 days or less - you could have your dream team member working for you in your business, well on their way to producing the results, the experiences and the sales this business needs to thrive without your time spent in it!

…And, because I actually give a FAQ! Your Most Popular Questions Answered

Below is a list of the most common questions I’ve been asked and if for some reason you don’t see your question, just reach out to our support team at hi@thelashpreneur.com and we’ll be happy to answer any question you have about the program.

You're our kind of people! While you don't HAVE to be fully booked to hire… it certainly does make it much more urgent when you are turning away clients left and right, facing burn out and overwork and overwhelm with a heavy client load and losing opportunities for growth because you physically cannot take another client.
You are in a great spot to start to grow your business with a team member! Our very first training we would have you go through before you jump into the program is a training called "Get Your Time Back" and it shows you just how to work your schedule to free up time to not only get into the trainings and get support - but to also create the space in your schedule to TRAIN your new hire once she's on your team. The biggest mistake we see new employers make with a new hire is that they do not spend enough time training their new hire to set them up for success in the job. We anticipate that need for you to spend time with your team member long before a job posting and start to teach you how to look at where your time is spent DIFFERENTLY than when you were a solo provider. Let's not waste another day and risk injuring you by keeping you at this intense pace!

It depends on how booked you are. Generally speaking, we recommend having consistent marketing in place to show you know how to market to get yourself clients… that would be evidence to know you have the foundations of being able to build a clientele for someone else as well. There's a sweet spot to hire just before your too busy and don't have time to interview/hire/train a team member… but most people are all over the place with their levels of "busy-ness". We do recommend that you are fully dependent on your business to support you and you're not working a full time job when trying to hire. Why would someone work for you if you're not even working for you?

The Xcelerator was created out of our team management training to solve for really toxic team cultures and team members. It is different than any other team management program out there because it address the core issues that create those toxic team environments that run rampant in the beauty industry for 3 distinct reasons:


1 - Process: We teach you to create a hiring process with the END RESULT (aka your dream team player) in mind. Meaning - if you want a kickass team member who is bought in on helping you grow the business, who wants to be a part of a fun and fulfilling team culture, and who is excited about the opportunity to work for someone else and the stability that comes with a job (and not have to manage and run their own business in a suite)... then we've got to create a job opportunity that SHE would be excited about and develop that team member ongoing to be a major PROFIT PRODUCING asset to the company. Our Financial, Hiring & Onboarding Processes help you do EXACTLY that!

2 - Progress: Perfection is the killer of your dreams - it's also made up and doesn't exist. Our coaching method is known industry wide to be life changing and the support you get inside of this program keeps you focusing on how YOU are showing up and either allowing the business (and your team) to thrive… or take a nose dive to nowhere. We prioritize PROGRESS over perfection in our programs because… You're either going to get the result you want OR the lesson you need. Either way - you win! Because your learning and development as a business owner will ALWAYS serve you!

3 - Profit: This "teeny tiny little thing" called like profit is overlooked in 95%+ of the businesses that we start working with. Why? Because everybody wants the big juicy sales numbers because their ego is tied to the growth of sales. Think about the "6-figure business owner" language that's thrown around so wildly in trainings. What they're mainly speaking to is 6-figures in SALES… not your pay as the owner. Your pay as the owner comes from PROFIT. If any of these 50% commission based pay salons evaluated whether or not 50% commission was PROFITABLE in their business before they start hiring team members at that wage, they'd likely find that it's not profitable.
You can have a $500,000/year business (many of our Mastermind members do) but if it costs you $700,000 in expenses to have that $500,000/year business… is it a business worth having? Definitely not!

Inside of our financial trainings, we help you to evaluate the PROFIT of your business in it's current state, how adding on a labor expense impacts profit, and what a profitable pay range would be for your business to support a team member long term… all so that YOU, the business owner, can pay yourself the profit as your wage without having to trade your time for money in the treatment room.

This is an individual decision you'll need to make for yourself, however I will give you my two cents based on what I've witnessed over the years. If you don't have a team (or you have independent contractors) trying to hire if you are pregnant (especially if you're in your 2nd or 3rd trimester). Here's why. Building a team is NOT getting a warm body in the door and handing them the keys to your business with the assumption that you'll be able to go have your baby and they'll run everything for you and you'll be able to collect a paycheck while you're on maternity leave. Team members want a JOB so they don't HAVE to run a business… and I've seen it far too many times where a team member tanks the business or steals the clients (or other things) while you're in your most vulnerable and distracted season of life with navigating a newborn and recovering from delivery. I am ALL for women having babies and building businesses (that's what I did) but they come in seasons of which one gets the bulk of your focus. If you're pregnant (or even if your kids are younger than school age)... it's a season of mom-mode and not necessarily building your "empire". There will be plenty of time for it. However you will not get these precious weeks/months/years back when your kiddos are little and there is no replacing mama in those first few crucial developmental years. Give yourself permission to allow yourself the maternity leave you and your baby deserve, do what you can to make as much sales and stack away as much cash as you can for a maternity leave prior to getting pregnant (or prior to your due date) so you don't have to choose work over being with your infant. When you're ready post-baby, we'll be ready to help you start growing your business and get that time back! If you already have a team - we can definitely talk about some next steps for you to get more time back and someone else to lead/manager the team in your absence. Just reach out to us at hi@thelashpreneur.com with your questions or if you want to chat about your team!

Society Xcelerator teaches you everything you need to hire a team member PROFITABLY and train them to produce the results + experience that you do. Momentum Mastermind covers everything that happens after that! So leadership, management, scalable marketing (so getting dozens if not 100s a new clients a month), community, support and getting YOU fully out of the treatment room so you can work ON your business more than you're working IN it.

There are no minimum requirements to join Society Xcelerator. Momentum Mastermind requires that you are doing $100,000 in annual sales (or on pace to) with at least 1 W-2 employee to apply for the program and it has limited spots available during our quarterly enrollment period. Because of the high level of support we offer inside of that program, we have a limit on how many people we accept into the mastermind. We don't have a cap to Society Xcelerator, however we do keep the coaching call attendance small… so if we start maxing out the calls each week, we will add more call times to the calendar to ensure the call attendance is kept small so everyone gets the support they need when they need it.

Jump on a call with Team Lashpreneur to determine which program is the best fit for you

I often hear business owners interested in hiring a team make up a random date in the future as when they'll be "ready" to hire. So my first reply back to this question is - what's the hold up? There's generally a bunch of pretty lame sauce reasons why "6 months from now" or "next year" will be the right time for them to hire for XYZ reason. Very rarely are there legitimate and justifiable reasons why you would spend more time on a decision that is SUPPOSED TO GET YOU MORE TIME. Consider this - IF you decided TODAY that you would join this program and TODAY starts you down the path of getting your first hire… where would you be 1 year from now? How many MORE hires might you have 1 year from now IF YOU STARTED TODAY? Instead of waiting "6 months because of XYZ"... you're likely wasting MORE time when you could be getting your time back SOONER! There are definitely legitimate reason why we might suggest waiting for another time to join - like if you're pregnant or you don't have enough clients to support yourself much less a team member… we would recommend joining us inside of The Lashpreneur Society to learn how to build your solo business (learn more about that program HERE

What is the ONE thing we can't make more of in this lifetime? Time or Money?

Time. So why would you waste anymore time if your goal is to get your tine back? The math ain't mathing on that one! It's ok to be nervous, doubt yourself, struggle with imposter syndrome or even feel flat out scared and overwhelmed at the thought of hiring… that's why we want to support you in this program to show it's not as scary or hard or expensive as you think. In fact, trying to hire without a program that prioritizes profitability (your pay), process, and progress like ours does might just be all those things… but I guarantee your perspective will change when you learn the step by steps of how to hire effectively and profitably and get the support on how to grow your business without it costing you your sanity and precious time!

But if now truly is not an "ok" time for you (notice I didn't say "right" or "best"), then just know we'd love to welcome you into the program at any time however the pricing, bonuses, and offers we have available at the time you're reading this may be different in the future.

Our coaching method is known industry wide to be life changing and the support you get inside of this program keeps you focusing on how YOU are showing up and either allowing the business (and your team) to thrive… or take a nose dive to nowhere. We prioritize PROGRESS over perfection in our programs because… You're either going to get the result you want OR the lesson you need. Either way - you win! Because your learning and development as a business owner will ALWAYS serve you!

3 - Profit: This "teeny tiny little thing" called like profit is overlooked in 95%+ of the businesses that we start working with. Why? Because everybody wants the big juicy sales numbers because their ego is tied to the growth of sales. Think about the "6-figure business owner" language that's thrown around so wildly in trainings. What they're mainly speaking to is 6-figures in SALES… not your pay as the owner. Your pay as the owner comes from PROFIT. If any of these 50% commission based pay salons evaluated whether or not 50% commission was PROFITABLE in their business before they start hiring team members at that wage, they'd likely find that it's not profitable.
You can have a $500,000/year business (many of our Mastermind members do) but if it costs you $700,000 in expenses to have that $500,000/year business… is it a business worth having? Definitely not!

Inside of our financial trainings, we help you to evaluate the PROFIT of your business in it's current state, how adding on a labor expense impacts profit, and what a profitable pay range would be for your business to support a team member long term… all so that YOU, the business owner, can pay yourself the profit as your wage without having to trade your time for money in the treatment room.

This is an individual decision you'll need to make for yourself, however I will give you my two cents based on what I've witnessed over the years. If you don't have a team (or you have independent contractors) trying to hire if you are pregnant (especially if you're in your 2nd or 3rd trimester). Here's why. Building a team is NOT getting a warm body in the door and handing them the keys to your business with the assumption that you'll be able to go have your baby and they'll run everything for you and you'll be able to collect a paycheck while you're on maternity leave. Team members want a JOB so they don't HAVE to run a business… and I've seen it far too many times where a team member tanks the business or steals the clients (or other things) while you're in your most vulnerable and distracted season of life with navigating a newborn and recovering from delivery. I am ALL for women having babies and building businesses (that's what I did) but they come in seasons of which one gets the bulk of your focus. If you're pregnant (or even if your kids are younger than school age)... it's a season of mom-mode and not necessarily building your "empire". There will be plenty of time for it. However you will not get these precious weeks/months/years back when your kiddos are little and there is no replacing mama in those first few crucial developmental years. Give yourself permission to allow yourself the maternity leave you and your baby deserve, do what you can to make as much sales and stack away as much cash as you can for a maternity leave prior to getting pregnant (or prior to your due date) so you don't have to choose work over being with your infant. When you're ready post-baby, we'll be ready to help you start growing your business and get that time back! If you already have a team - we can definitely talk about some next steps for you to get more time back and someone else to lead/manager the team in your absence. Just reach out to us at hi@thelashpreneur.com with your questions or if you want to chat about your team!

Society Xcelerator teaches you everything you need to hire a team member PROFITABLY and train them to produce the results + experience that you do. Momentum Mastermind covers everything that happens after that! So leadership, management, scalable marketing (so getting dozens if not 100s a new clients a month), community, support and getting YOU fully out of the treatment room so you can work ON your business more than you're working IN it.

There are no minimum requirements to join Society Xcelerator. Momentum Mastermind requires that you are doing $100,000 in annual sales (or on pace to) with at least 1 W-2 employee to apply for the program and it has limited spots available during our quarterly enrollment period. Because of the high level of support we offer inside of that program, we have a limit on how many people we accept into the mastermind. We don't have a cap to Society Xcelerator, however we do keep the coaching call attendance small… so if we start maxing out the calls each week, we will add more call times to the calendar to ensure the call attendance is kept small so everyone gets the support they need when they need it.

Here's a visual of what the primary differences are with the structure of the programs for you to peruse:

I often hear business owners interested in hiring a team make up a random date in the future as when they'll be "ready" to hire. So my first reply back to this question is - what's the hold up? There's generally a bunch of pretty lame sauce reasons why "6 months from now" or "next year" will be the right time for them to hire for XYZ reason. Very rarely are there legitimate and justifiable reasons why you would spend more time on a decision that is SUPPOSED TO GET YOU MORE TIME. Consider this - IF you decided TODAY that you would join this program and TODAY starts you down the path of getting your first hire… where would you be 1 year from now? How many MORE hires might you have 1 year from now IF YOU STARTED TODAY? Instead of waiting "6 months because of XYZ"... you're likely wasting MORE time when you could be getting your time back SOONER! There are definitely legitimate reason why we might suggest waiting for another time to join - like if you're pregnant or you don't have enough clients to support yourself much less a team member… we would recommend joining us inside of The Lashpreneur Society to learn how to build your solo business (learn more about that program HERE

What is the ONE thing we can't make more of in this lifetime? Time or Money?

Time. So why would you waste anymore time if your goal is to get your tine back? The math ain't mathing on that one! It's ok to be nervous, doubt yourself, struggle with imposter syndrome or even feel flat out scared and overwhelmed at the thought of hiring… that's why we want to support you in this program to show it's not as scary or hard or expensive as you think. In fact, trying to hire without a program that prioritizes profitability (your pay), process, and progress like ours does might just be all those things… but I guarantee your perspective will change when you learn the step by steps of how to hire effectively and profitably and get the support on how to grow your business without it costing you your sanity and precious time!

But if now truly is not an "ok" time for you (notice I didn't say "right" or "best"), then just know we'd love to welcome you into the program at any time however the pricing, bonuses, and offers we have available at the time you're reading this may be different in the future.
