From Service Provider to CEO
Are you showing up as the CEO of your business?
If you're someone who focuses only on providing services, paying the bills, and maybe creating some social media posts your mindset may be stuck in service provider mode.
More often than not, solo spa bosses focus only on delivering services, missing out on the broader picture that a CEO mentality can offer.
The truth is, to truly succeed, it's crucial to adopt a mindset that goes beyond simply being a service provider. It's important to show up as the CEO of your business.
Leveraging AI in Your Beauty or Wellness Business
Being a solo beauty and wellness professional, you know how demanding handling everything can be. But, what if you could leverage AI to help free up your time to focus on your business growth?
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, refers to computer systems designed to mimic human intelligence by performing tasks like learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.
AI can help ease your load by automating routine tasks such as email responses, data entry, and appointment scheduling, freeing up your time to focus on growing your business. AI-powered chatbots are also a great tool for providing immediate customer support, answering FAQs, and solving issues when you’re not available.
