We all have dreams. When you opened your salon you had a dream, a vision, a purpose.
Then reality set in, and you feel like your dream is slowly drifting away like a ship in the night. What once was a dream has turned into a nightmare.
I've watched this play out for over 25 years. In my own career struggles. I've always had the willingness to seek out what ever info I needed to improve my present situation.
And for so many years I struggled with trying to understand why seeking out information and executing it was so difficult for so many salon owners.
I enrolled in a professional coaching program which helped me understand the psychology of people better and how "learned helplessness " and the "5 faces of oppression" play such a key roll in peoples ability to adapt and change when needed.
As a young black girl raised in a lower middle class family with an extended family living in poverty. I new all too well about engrained mindsets.
Take this journey with me to help unravel how this mindset has permeated our salon businesses and is the #1 reason BLACK salons fail.
