Suite Success Secret #47

How MY SALON Suite Delivers on the Entrepreneurial Dream

THOUGHT PROCESS:
Many people say that if they could, they would prefer to be their own boss. MY SALON Suite brings the dream to life, making it easy and affordable for beauty industry entrepreneurs to become business owners.
 
ACTION STEPS:
Discover where MY SALON Suite has locations in your area and how their business model can help you become your own boss.
 
Each year, Boss’s Day falls on October 16, unless that happens to be a weekend day. While it’s a great time to give your favorite boss some recognition each year, it made us think about just how many small business owners there are in the U.S. and Canada who are independent entrepreneurs, and for whom work is its own reward on Boss’s Day (and every day.)
 
There are nearly 30 million small businesses in the U.S. and Canada (combined). According to the Small Business Administration, American small businesses account for 54 percent of sales, 55 percent of all jobs and 66 percent of all net new jobs since the 1970s.
 
Gallup recently asked 600 small business owners whether they would do it all over again – start their own business – if they could go back in time. An impressive 84 percent said yes, for sure. It’s a statistic that has held fairly steady for the past 11 years. When asked what aspects of work they found most rewarding, the number one answer by a large margin was “being my own boss, independence, being the decision-maker.” Perhaps this isn’t so surprising, especially considering that people who quit their jobs most commonly cite their immediate manager as their reason for leaving.
 
Another Gallup study found that 57 percent of Americans want to start a business. When the question was asked of working Americans, the number was even higher (61 percent), and the number rose even higher (72 percent) when asked of younger workers. So what is it about business ownership that makes the increased responsibility, longer work hours and risk so worth it?
 
In some cases, it’s because the entrepreneur has a clear vision of how to build a better product or deliver a better customer experience. In others, it’s a desire to take control of their work environment, hours and lifestyle. Still others see it as the career path with the most potential for professional and financial success.
 
For many, it’s all of the above.
 

MY SALON Suite delivers on the entrepreneurial dream with both franchise and salon ownership opportunities. Our business model allows beauty professionals to open their own salons quickly and cost-effectively, and gives them control over their work environment and earning potential.
