STRESS CAN STUNT YOUR BUSINESS SUCCESS Here is what I know for sure about stress in the workplace: it is the surest way to stunt the growth of your business. Seriously! Think of stress as a virus that anyone near you can catch. If your client catches that virus, they most certainly will not be coming back for more! Have you ever heard that saying "Leave your baggage at the door you can pick it up when you leave"? That's exactly what we Estheticians need to do each day as we show up at our Spas. Leave whatever issues you have going on in your life outside. Stop and take a moment before you walk in the door. Take a deep breath and let it all go. Hopefully your day will go so well, you will not be so quick to pick it back up as you head out the door at the end of the day. Here is one simple example of something I do during the workday when I feel my energy moving into stress mode. I think about or look at something that makes me happy. It could be a picture of your child, the thought of how special your mate makes you feel, the taste of your favorite piece of chocolate or glass of wine or the image of you romping on the beach in Hawaii. You get the idea, right? I have a cute picture of my dogs as the background on my computer, so whenever I start to stress, I simply walk over to my computer for a quick smile. Looking at that picture makes me instantly feel better. People can feel energy. They feel the energy that you emit. They might not be truly aware of what it is, but they feel something is off and they do not want to be around it. Our Spas are supposed to be an environment for the client to escape the stresses of their lives. Let us do whatever we can to create that environment and keep it that way. How fortunate are we to work in that type of environment? To grow and prosper in your esthetic career, take advantage of this and just "let it go" if even for a few hours!!
