Feeling stuck in your beauty business? In this episode, we dive deep into what it really takes to scale, sell, or franchise a salon, clinic, or training academy.

If you've ever thought, "I'm done with my business" or wondered if you could sell it for a profit, this is the episode for you.

We break down:
- Why so many salon owners feel burnt out post-COVID

- How to turn your business into a sellable asset rather than an emotional burden
- The real talk on franchising vs. scaling and which path is right for you
- What it takes to sell your beauty business profitably and not just shut the doors
- How to remove emotions from decision-making and start thinking like a CEO

We also share behind-the-scenes stories from Katie's business retreat, where salon owners had massive mindset shifts and left with game-changing strategies to grow or exit their businesses successfully.

If you're feeling tired, stuck, or just unsure about the next steps in your beauty business, this episode is packed with insights that could change everything for you!
