If you want to build a business, you can’t do it alone. 

You and your business don’t exist in isolation, and despite how talented, adaptable and hardworking you are, even you can only do so much. Every business owner needs the help and support of other people with other specialist skill sets.

If business growth is important to you, then building the right external team is just as important as building the right internal team. Your internal team are those people who work in the salon providing hair and beauty services. Your external team includes financial experts, legal advisors, coaches, and the like.

Tune in today to hear about what your external team should consist of, and the importance of carefully considering the people you choose to fill these positions!

[01:02] Why you can’t grow a business alone. 

[01:55] Examples of the kinds of specialists who may make up a salon owner’s external team.
