Whether you have had a good year, or scraped through by the seat of your pants, the things you do between now and the end of the year will influence how you answer that same question at the end of 2025. Like most things in life business is DYNAMIC in other words success is the result of being pro-active and if you... FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL “WHAT DECISIONS SHOULD YOU BE MAKING TO ENSURE 2025 IS BETTER THAN 2024?” 1 . Invest in a COMPLETE BUSINESS SYSTEM, not just a bookings app, not just a stock-control system, or a CRM, or a fancy accounting system. You need an Enterprise Management System which integrates information for your COMPLETE BUSINESS. 2. Strengthen your Team and reduce staff turnover. Staff who receive on-going training, work to a set of goals and targets and receive regular feedback via appraisals and performance reports (KPI or key performance indicators) remain loyal and motivated. 3 . Control Costs especially in areas such as stock and you could safe up to 20% by having a system that replaces stock used, monitors model level and reorder levels, AND provides advanced reporting on stock-movement and forward-cover. Any savings in expenditure goes straight to the PROFIT LINE. 4 . Grow you clientele by recognising and rewarding clients with a Loyalty Programme.Have a NEW CLIENT STRATEGY and a business system that shows how many new clients you get, and where they come from, how many new clients you are converting into regulars AND how many clients no longer come to you. 5 . Increase Social Media. YOU HAVE TO BE SEEN TO BE SOLD. You have no idea how powerful social media has become. Some think it was Social Media that was the determining factor in the recent Presidential Elections in America. 6. Invest in MY SALON SOFTWARE. The ONE that has it all!

With  BARBERS’ STORIES  we want to celebrate our  heroes . Men  who are visionaries, artists,  barbers  who have revolutionised an ancient craft. A small European tour, north to south, meeting them on the way so that we can tell you their stories. The journey begins. KRAKóW Poland Legend has it that Kraków was founded by defeating a dragon, and it is a city that oozes magic in its medieval streets and squares, in its ancient university on the banks of the Vistula River and the Kazimierz, the historical district where the Jewish and Christian communities have coexisted for centuries. Nowadays, between museums and synagogues, old buildings, and small stores, this district is brimming with life. The lively atmosphere is fueled by the numerous cafés, restaurants, and clubs making it one of the most vibrant places in the city. The mythical history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site merges with some grey remnants of Real Socialism and the modernity of an increasingly growing economy, thus giving rise to a unique setting. Trams and trains of the latest generations, an extended network of cycle paths, and sought-after but fair-priced hotels and restaurants ensure comfortable and affordable stay for all visitors. Leaving the city, get ready to be dazzled by majestic nature filled with lakes, remote countryside areas, mountains, and forests, and two must-see places from 20thcentury history: Schindler's factory (now an interactive museum), the man who saved hundreds of Jews, celebrated in Steven Spielberg's film and Nowa Huta, an experiment of the ideal city in socialist architecture built from scratch in the 1950s next to the country's largest steelworks, where you can still drive a pastel-colored Trabant, visit one of the few remaining milk bars and voyage into a time that no longer exists. [BARBER] Łukasz Janik @LUCKYBARBERR Meeting Łukasz, our Polish barber, was a special surprise. Łukasz embodies the essence of the barber, not in a technical but in a human perspective. Besides the remarkable specific skills what management jargon calls 'hard skills' - Łukasz revealed a unique combination of 'soft skills' or transversal competences, which are becoming more and more in demand in business and which distinguish barbers prominently: authority, calmness, but also listening and communication skills, emotional expression, creativity, kindness, a desire for a job well done instead of the more barren sense of duty - and, last but not least, the desire to laugh about it and glide over things', as Italo Calvino defines lightness.
