Just a few days ago I did some consulting with a couple who just one year ago bought a salon that has been in business for 27 years. Sometimes when I do these consults they can be agonizing. The owners are frequently unprepared, shooting from the hip, with no direction or focus.

They told me during our time together that they went to Nashville with two specific goals that they wanted to accomplish. There’s’ lesson number one: They had clear, concise, purposeful goals. They had definition of purpose. Goals without specific deadlines or details are just nice ideas.<\/p>\n
