"Two weeks before I opened my first business, I took an Incubator class - thus beginning my perpetual connection with Strategies. Just five years later, I have doubled the size of my first spa, and added a second location. I feel much of this success is due to my relationship with the Strategies team, their business seminars and their coaching program. I plan on opening more locations, and will be utilizing the wealth of knowledge I have learned from Strategies for many years to come. Thank you Strategies!"

"I wanted to tell you how much I love working with my Certified Strategies Coach (CSC). He has helped me go through the team based pay conversion and helped answer all the questions my staff has had during the first three months. My experience has been one of sincere kindness and valuable insights. My CSC's kindness shows in the way he responds to employee situations. He looks for ways to support the welfare of the employee, finds the key points and lessons in any situation, and constructively shows me how to correct those situations, leaving the employee whole and happy, all the while keeping profits in mind. The way he thinks and holds people in general is like they are on a pedestal. This way of thinking allows employees to have the highest respect, belief and trust for their employer.
And, of course, I must mention my CSC's passion for the numbers game. He has a way of coaching, step by step, how to interpret each of the accounting reports, how they relate to each other and how they tell you the important story about your business. He shows the importance of aligning your projections with these reports so that you have a concise picture of your business. We are just now really getting into this and it is amazing that I have been in business for nearly 30 years and never knew any of this. I've always heard about these things, and my "shoot from the hip" method could only take me so far. I imagine with a bit more of this know-how, I'll be achieving my dreams at a faster pace than ever before. It is almost on the edge of boggling my brain, yet the way my CSC has me dive into it allows me to digest each little bit before I move on to more detailed items. I dreaded the thought of not being able to complete this valuable work with him, so I have signed up for more monthly coaching. It seems the "onion" is just now really getting peeled. I love it! Guess you could say "I smell success" the way I dream of it!"
