A Simplified Staffing Business Model

April 16, 2020

In much the same way Amazon and eBay have helped many get their start in starting, developing and running an e-commerce business, this same help is now available in starting a staffing business.

There are now well over two million third-party sellers on Amazon. The infrastructure that is on Amazon and eBay is plug_ and_ play for all who try and claim their stake on these selling platforms.

With this in mind, the traditional route for those seeking an opportunity to start their own staffing business included the need for a large capital infusion, a payroll system, access to high-cost worker’s compensation insurance and many other costs that were prohibitive for most to enter the industry.

For many who do have the resources to enter the staffing industry, they often turn to high-cost franchise staffing companies who enjoy a large slice of earnings for the lifetime of the business. This … Read More

Business Plan For a Beauty Salon – Cash Flow Decisions

April 16, 2020

| beauty

Creating a business plan for your beauty salon presents the perfect opportunity for you to create a functioning cash flow statement (sometimes called the statement of cash flows). This will allow you to make key decisions about cash flow going forward.

Creating the Cash Flow Statement

It is highly recommended to start with an Excel template or financial model example of some kind for your salon’s cash flow statement. It need not be an model specifically tailored towards a beauty salon, but should be for a similar business (i.e., one that makes revenues through services and product sales, pays rent for a location, etc) so that minimal customization is required. Starting with a template can save a great deal of time in the creation of the statement.

Three Sections of a Cash Flow Statement

This will describe cash inflows and outflows in three areas: operating activities, investing activities, and financing … Read More

Staffing Your Beauty Pageant Business

Running a pageant is definitely not a one person show. It requires teamwork.

Selecting the personnel for your pageant staff doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t need large numbers. Here is my recommendation for staff positions:

Director

Judges – select people from different occupations and industries to get diversity. You can also use people you work with and respect. Reigning queens love to participate because it keeps them involved and motivated with the pageant community. Your banker, hairstylist and florist should also be approached.

– This is you!

Use three judges for the childrens pageants and five for the teen and older divisions. You can also assign the title of Side Award Judge to one of your supporters. The Side Award Judge job is to distribute the extra awards and create balance among the contestants.

Auditor

Pageant Liaison

Promotions Manager

Stage Manager

Designer Editor

Emcee – You will … Read More

Is Your Business Model Snuffing Out Your Message?

I often talk to coaches, consultants, freelancers, small business owners, authors, speakers… etc. who feel stuck.

Well, screw the label, that’s not important. They’re the “do their own thing, do something meaningful” kind of people.

They’ve done the professional training, bought the marketing program, and even built a business or two.

But they rarely go back to square one and question whether they have structured their business to amplify their vision and message.

Oh, you’re certified as a “coach” – so there’s what a coaching business model looks like: a 1:1 program, a group program, an online course, and an info product. Or, a 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month package. The end.

When people are starting out, a business model is a godsend. It gives you something to build upon and the visibility of “where the money is coming from.”

But as you evolve and refine your skills and message, it’s … Read More

My Handmade Wedding Invitation Business – How to Start One

Everybody always wants to know how I set up my handmade wedding invitation business. It wasn’t all that difficult really. Anybody could do it. All you need is a little artistic ability and an imagination. And with all the neat stuff they have in the craft shops now, you don’t really even have to have that.

Have you seen all the beautiful papers they have out now. When I first started out you had your choice of white, ecru, and maybe a few pastel colors. And if you wanted them to have any kind of floral design or pattern on them, you had to do it yourself. But when it comes to wedding invitations, you have to be very precise and exact. Nobody wants a paint spattered wedding invitation and the more “store bought” they look the better. Even though it’s an original design, it still has to look professional.… Read More

Introduce Your Business to New Clients With a Corporate Gift Basket

April 15, 2020

| gift

Giving corporate gift baskets to potential clients is a good way to make a long-lasting positive impression. This gesture shows that your business is invested in its clients and wants to go that extra mile to make sure they’re happy.

The gift baskets you give do not have to be super expensive or large. In fact, a corporate gift basket like that could make the recipient feel awkward, and we don’t want that. gifts containing alcoholic items are also probably best left alone; if your recipient doesn’t imbibe, this renders the basket useless. The same goes for baskets obviously aimed towards a certain gender, such as a basket filled with frilly pink spa items. The best way to go is to opt for small to medium sized corporate gift baskets filled with goodies anyone could use, such as candies, desk supplies, or baked goods.

A great way to draw a … Read More

A children’s clothing business can be an excellent way to supplement or replace a household income. With some innovative designs and clothing banks sourced at good prices, it is possible to realize a retail markup of up to 500% on kids clothing. While no business is a sure thing, a chidlren’s clothing business can be an enjoyable and lucrative business.

Here are three tips to help you sell children’s clothing profitably.

Maintain Quality

There is nothing more frustrating for a clothes buyer than to buy clothing and find a torn hem, a stain or a poorly imprinted garment. These clothing buyers will not buy your clothes again, and they will tell other parents about the quality of your product.

No matter where you buy your clothes and how carefully you store and imprint them, you will items that are imperfect or defective. Do not try to sell these items at … Read More

Since you want it to be the former experience, take time to plan in the beginning. Here are four things that every owner of a home based gift basket business should think about.

Supplies

The supplies that you buy can go a long way towards making or breaking you. Since you are a home based gift basket business, most of your cash flow is probably going into supplies. This is especially true when you are just starting and need to buy a hot glue gun, cellophane, shredded paper, containers, and items to put in the baskets without know how fast the merchandise will move. Start small and don't buy more than you can comfortably store and afford. It's better to … Read More
