## Resource

Episode description: You could be the best esthetician on the planet and still need to get better at being the person responsible for your business. Allyson walks through the performance review she'd give herself, and challenges you to give yourself one too: 8 questions that reveal whether you'd actually hire yourself to run your business, from bringing in new clients to protecting your time to knowing your own numbers. Show notes: This week's episode is a challenge: pretend you're not the owner of your business for 30 minutes. You're a consultant hired to review the last 30 days. What would you tell her to keep doing? What needs attention immediately? The 8-part performance review: Are you doing the job of bringing business in, or just posting and hoping? Are you taking care of the clients you've already earned? Do you actually know what's happening with your money? Are you making decisions, or are you reacting? Are you spending like an owner? Are you protecting your business (your time, your pricing, your boundaries)? Are you giving yourself too much to do? What would you actually praise yourself for? Plus a real story about the moment her husband asked where a $12,000 month actually went, and why "I think we're doing pretty good" isn't good enough when it's your own business.
