This week Gavin is in collaboration with fellow podcaster, David Barnett of High Performance Stylist, a specialist in helping hair salon owners grow and scale their business.

David has grown, scaled and sold a hair salon in Northern California for a seven figure sum, and so is well qualified to lead a valuable and insightful discussion about how business owners and entrepreneurs can apply the lesson he's learned to their own businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Gavin's six-stage model is The Strategy Compass, which is divided into purpose, mind-set, goals, strategy, capability and action and accountability.
• We have a choice in how we show up each day, and it all comes back to mind-set. If we project negativity, then that catches on, whether that's through colleagues or customers. We need to make sure we have the correct mind-set going into each day.
• David applied his energies to a sub-niche of the salon industry (weddings) and devised an ingenious strategy to maximise revenue using traditional means and this new strategy. The results were astounding.
• Education is an important part of the salon industry, which traditionally came through the product companies. The stylists now can build a following online, and can use social media top promote themselves and hold classes themselves, which has added immense value.
• The biggest inconsistency in the salon business these days in the culture, a factor that seems to affect all industries equally. 
• Gavin's SCALE mnemonic:
  • S - Systems
  • C - Cash
  • A - Advance
  • L - Leadership and Culture
  • E - Effectiveness
