Busy is not the same as profitable.
You judge a month by how full it felt, but 'busy' and 'profitable' aren't the same thing, and you honestly can't tell if your best month made money. Working flat out and watching the bank account stay flat is its own special exhaustion.

A groomer can pull in $8,000 in a month and keep $2,000, or keep $5,000, depending entirely on their costs. Maria's busiest month ever left her with almost nothing in the bank, and she couldn't say why. (Illustrative example.)
Who this is for

Your instructor

Marcus ran his own salon for fifteen years and nearly lost it by undercharging — until he finally sat down with his own numbers and dug out. He teaches the money side the way he wishes someone had taught him: pricing, profit, and taxes, told straight, with the math landing soft.
