Hi everyone,
I wanted a bit of advice really as I am feeling a little nervous. I am at the point of purchasing a beauty salon that is currently loosing money.
I don't have a beauty qualification but had a strong business background and beauty has always been something that I have wanted to get into but I'm sure you know what it's like - when you start a job it's hard to take a step back and go back to studying. Anyway I have found a place I love but it is very very badly run and as a result making a serious loss - marketing is a big thing I know I will need to concentrate on but I guess I am panicking a little as it is just such a big life change for me. We have a house etc and I am having sleepless nights of what if etc.
I think what I am wanting to know is should I study an nvq to get myself in the know whilst running the salon , or simply focus on the business and leave te beauticians to it?
The other thing I am panicking about is what if I can't do it... I know I can turn businesses around in the work I do but there are so many beauty salons out there I am just scared I can't compete! The fear well and truly setting in
I know there are some really experienced people on here and I was wondering if anyone would be happy to act as a mentor in their spare time for me with regard to questions / support . This is something I feel I really need as I am always one for asking for help when I need it and I have a feeling I will need it this year!!
Please help!
