Passionate Profit is set to explore the winning formula for running a successful salon business, covering all major cities nationwide, ending in Dublin on November 11.

The event will delve into the concept that passion alone cannot sustain a thriving business, while solely focusing on profit will not motivate a team. However, combining both elements, passion AND profit, is the “secret sauce” of the most successful businesses. Alan Austin-Smith will share his insights into the pitfalls of passion-only businesses, why relying solely on passion can lead to burnout, and the dangers of profit-driven approaches without genuine passion, affecting the team’s motivation and long-term success of the salon.

The seminar will provide invaluable advice on how to successfully merge the two components, striking the perfect balance between passion AND profit, leading to a salon that thrives financially, and is also a fulfilling and inspiring workspace. As Alan says: “A business needs to be profitable enough to do two things; reinvest in the business, and benefit the owner. If the business isn’t profitable enough to do both, then something needs to change – and my seminar is designed to teach how to achieve this.”

Passionate Profit: “The secret sauce of all successful salons” is sponsored by Floomly, the groundbreaking salon software that is revolutionising salons with its result-oriented package, integrating 30 years of hairdressing knowledge at every turn.
