242 Is a Salon Partnership a Good Idea?

Recently I was asked by a young hairdresser whether or not I thought he should go into partnership with a friend and open a salon together.  Partnerships are one of the many subjects we cover in the online management course that is currently open for enrolment, but I think it’s a great question and will make a good podcast topic as well. Unfortunately, partnerships in small businesses don’t have a high success rate. In today's episode, I will cover some of the key elements that need to be put in place to give a partnership the best possible chance of success. In this Episode:[00:01:13] Introducing the topic of partnerships in the salon business and the importance of setting them up correctly.[00:01:56] Addressing the Reality of Partnership Endings[00:04:20] The importance of partners discussing potential challenges preemptively.[00:05:57] A list of the twelve potential challenges partnerships may face.[00:12:43] Advice for fostering successful partnerships, including open communication and mutual respect.            Thanks so much for joining me this week.

I know that being in business isn’t always easy. Along with the many highs and ‘a ha’ moments it can sometimes be soul destroying, frustrating and a very lonely place to be. Being a business owner is one of life’s greatest educations and it gives you two clear choices, either you continually learn, adapt and grow, or you resist change, stagnate and perish. We live in ever changing and sometimes challenging times, so being informed and constantly inspired is more important than ever. Join Antony Whitaker talking to thought leaders on the business side of the hairdressing industry discussing insightful, provocative and inspiring ideas that matter. Get ready to learn, get ready to be challenged, get ready to be inspired and most importantly get ready to grow your salon business!
