WOW. Why do people buy a business they know nothing about and then complain that they have to work? Tami's idea of being a business owner was to open the door and hope the staff acted like 'grownups' and did what they needed to do. REALLY!

The biggest challenge was to make Tami realize that she set the tone of the salon and she needed to be the leader. She needed to set rules and boundaries and hold her staff accountable. She needed to take care of her business, because it's not, as she called it, "babysitting" - it's OWNERSHIP. Luckily there were some hard-working staff in the salon who tried to do the right thing, but even a dedicated staff needs guidance.

Tami's lack of experience as a hairdresser was a problem, because she had no idea about the quality of the work in her salon. Richie was the obvious leader - he is talented and experienced and the staff respected him. He was the go to guy, and I knew he could lead the team, educate and guide the stylists, and help Tami.
