Dear Salon and Spa Entrepreneur,

If you imagine the day you have money to spend and never have to
worry about how much the price tag says…

If you can't wait see what it would be like to go on the vacation
of your dreams or just stay at home and play with the kids because you
want to – because you have plenty of cash and it’s no problem...

THEN THIS COULD BE the most important website you ever read! EVER
IN YOUR LIFE. HERE'S WHY...

You're about to find out volumes of helpful information to get you
off running. Easy to understand language, no fluffy talk.

This is different from anything you've ever seen before - keep
reading and prove it to yourself.

There's no other guide with this much compiled information and
years of experience available on the market today. You can't afford to
miss out on this opportunity.

I’m here to tell you that salon and spa owners are not so different
from you.
There are indeed some things that salon and spa owners know and do
that “normal people” don’t…but it’s nothing exotic or difficult.
I’m going to spell it all out for you.

Here’s what we’re talking about…entrepreneurs:

* Are not generally smarter than anyone else.
* Often are not highly educated.
* Don’t have special advantages in life, such as position, power or
connections…at least not when they start out.
* THEY ALL STARTED OUT IN THE SAME POSITION THAT YOU'RE IN.

So if all that’s true…you may be wondering: why aren’t you a salon
and spa owner?

There are some good reasons, and knowing them can change your life.

You too can be a salon spa owner.

It’s not that tough.

CAN YOU BECOME A SALON AND SPA OWNER?

YES! YOU CAN change your own life – your financial destiny – and
have the life you’ve always wanted.

I’m not talking about becoming a “big shot” so you can impress
people.

I’m talking about increasing your lifestyle, so that there's no more
worries about those petty cash expenses.

I’m talking about learning how to choose where you work, and how you
work.

I'm talking about SPENDING MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY.

When you open your salon YOU CHOOSE YOUR HOURS, LOCATION, CLIENTS
AND STAFF.

YOU DECIDE exactly what you want your salon to look like, feel like,
and smell like.

YOU DECIDE if you want to carry Redken, Sebastian, Pureology, or
any other name brand you want to use.

If you want to work Saturdays, you can! If you don't want to that's
fine too.

It's all up to you.

WHO WOULDN'T LOVE TO DO THAT?

And that is true freedom.

The information I'm going to share with you on this site will allow
you to make those dreams come true. I'm going to give you some action
steps.

Buckle up.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
STARTING A SALON OR SPA IS INSIDE

Please forget everything you think you know about owning a salon or
spa.

Let me teach you everything you need to know.

We’ve all been pre-programmed to believe the way to “make it” is to
go to school, get good grades, get a good job, and save up some cash
for retirement.

How many people do you know who would say that plan is working out
well for them?

Right. Not too many.

That’s because it usually doesn’t work.

You don't learn everything you need to know about running a salon
from a crash course in beauty school. Let me tell you!

I have gone thru the school of hard knocks. I have worked at various
kinds of salons from one owner one chair hair salons all the way up to
full day spas with many employees. I have worked at salons that have
gone out of business and salons that have absolutely flourished. I've
worked in every position imaginable as well. I have even done a mobile
salon.

I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH THE YEARS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A SUCCESSFUL
SALON OR SPA OWNER.

I have also seen WHAT NOT TO DO in this industry.

WHY NOT LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE?

WHO AM I AND WHY SHOULD
YOU LISTEN TO ME?

Okay, I'm not the most comfortable at "tooting my own horn"...but
before we go much further we should get this on the table.

Who the heck am I, and why should you listen to me?

Well, once I figured out my own systems for owning a salon and
making money, and had my own businesses humming along, I started
sharing my systems and ideas with other people.

My name is Valerie Christie and I’m going to explain to you _HOW
EASY IT IS_ TO ACCOMPLISH ALL YOUR DREAMS; YOU DON’T HAVE TO WAIT A
YEAR, A MONTH, OR A DAY MORE.

TODAY, you’ll finally learn how to obtain the financial freedom
you’ve always wanted.

I’ll tell you how to be independent so you won’t have to answer to
a pesky boss and to fulfill your urge to create beauty while having a
good time.

WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO MEET LOTS OF PEOPLE EVERY DAY, TALK TO THEM AND
HELP THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES? What if I said, you would even
get paid to do it?!

I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that you can succeed
if you are determined and resourceful.

Having an independent business is not as hard as you think; IF YOU
HAVE THE RIGHT GUIDANCE YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT.

I’ve been in this industry for 20 years starting from a "kitchen
beautician", student, employee, and booth renter and finally blessed
to be a salon owner. I've recently went on to get my Hairdresser
Instructors License too. I’ve started salon spas in retail shopping
centers, home salons and even in garages! I have always had a passion
for the beauty industry that started when I was a child.

I’ve worked as a nail technician, hair dresser, shampoo technician,
and aesthetician.

I LOVE THIS INDUSTRY! I LOVED IT WHEN I STARTED AND I STILL LOVE IT
TODAY!

I've done hair, nails, and make up for glamour photography and
runway shows, worked as an exhibitor at hair and nail shows, taken
more classes and extensive training than I can mention here. I
currently hold a hairdresser license (which includes nails in Alaska),
aesthetician, and shop owner and business owner licenses. I own a
profitable salon spa in Alaska and a coaching and mentoring business
too.

I’ve worked on commission, hourly salary, and sliding scale as an
employee. IT FEELS TERRIBLE TO LOOK AT YOUR PAYCHECK STUB AT THE END
OF THE WEEK AND SEE ALL THE DEDUCTIONS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU!! YOU
WORKED HARD FOR YOUR MONEY!

WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO GET 100% OF YOUR MONEY AND DECIDE HOW YOU
WANT TO SPEND IT, RATHER THAN GIVING 50% OF YOUR MONEY AWAY?

NOW, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO KEEP A LOT MORE OF IT!

One of my readers said:

“I never thought I would stop being an employee, but thanks to
Valerie’s advice I managed to set up my own salon and started earning
money in a few months, with no prior experience, no business
background, all I did was follow her instructions and presto! Thanks,
Valerie for sharing your knowledge.”-Becky.

If you have never gone into an independent business you have
nothing to worry about, my 20 years in the salon industry will spare
you a lot of headaches.

Let me teach you the _right_ way to get started. I’ll guide you
_step by step _through everything you have to do, to run a successful
salon.

LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES AND TIPS (_INSIDER SECRETS_) I HAVE TO SHARE
WITH YOU. I have taken more courses than you could shake your stick
at. You name it, I’ve done it all, from the basic hairdo to advanced
hairstyling, updo’s, nails, facials, etc.

But don’t get scared the only thing you need is a little practice,
I’ll tell you exactly what you need to know in plain English, clear
and simple. All my experience is going to make you love your job!

"About your book, one word, BRILLIANT!! Finally the information and
advice I have been looking for! Not generalizing, but specifics. I
have gathered 101 ideas already, (I'm on page 64) as I read on I say
to my self, "Oh my god! Yes, that is what I will do. That's a great
idea!"

Kathy Tzelepis, Australia

And so can you.

But first look at this...

WHAT’S “BETWEEN YOUR EARS” DETERMINES THE
BALANCE IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT…

I know this might sound a little weird…but it’s true.

What goes on in your head has a direct effect on how much money you
make.

This is not some “strange” theory. And by “between your ears” I
don’t mean “how smart you are”…I mean what is your attitude about
life?

What are your thoughts about money, business, and wealth?

If you think that this stuff is silly, and that it has nothing to do
with whether you are wealthy…please take a moment to check your bank
balance.

If you are already wealthy, please feel free to skip the rest of
this web page.

If, however, you are not…is there a chance that you might be able to
learn something from what I have to say on this subject?

Look, I have worked with lots of different people. Many of them
became very successful as a result of using my systems, tools, and
techniques.

And I learned something interesting…

I can build systems for people.

I can give them all the information all the techniques and all the
strategies that I have used in my life and in my business.

But you know what?

If you don't have it ‘right’ between your ears, then NO system will
work for you.

You have to take action, and follow the step-by-step guide…

WHAT YOUR SIMPLE GUIDE FOR STARTING A SALON OR SPA
CAN DO FOR YOU…

How to make money, have fun and be successful.

I'm about to tell you how to make it happen…and about how developing
the “A Positive Mental Attitude” is the one key strategy you must
master..

Remember the story of the little train that could? I think I can,
think I can, think I can! My mom used to read that story to me when I
was little, and it really is true.

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve
done.

Would you agree that if you find a successful person, and then do
what that person does, that you will achieve the same result?

Doesn’t that seem reasonable?

I don't care what color you are.

I don't care what you know.

I don't care how you grew up.

If you take on this mindset, amazing things can and will happen for
you.

Now if you think about this…

Your thoughts turn into your language

Your language turns into action and your action turns into results.

Some people have indecisive language…like:

* "I’ll try to do it."
* "I may do it."
* "I might get around to it."

That's indecisive language, and that's going to stop you from taking
the action to get the results you want.

What you want to do instead is to start using decisive language. You
want to say instead,

* "I will do this.”
* “I must do this."
* “Consider it done.”

And it’s not just theory, it’s real-world, proven stuff, no fluff.

Tried, tested, and proven by other salon owners I have worked with
personally…and from my own experience as a salon and spa owner.

"I Just Love The Program That I Purchased From You."

"Happy New Year Valerie, I just wanted to tell you that I just
love the program that I purchased from you. I have encouraged my
hairdresser to purchase the program from you also. It is also nice

YOU WON'T FIND ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE TO GIVE YOU VALUABLE INSIDER
INFORMATION

Look, you and I both know there are others out there who are
teaching people how to start a salon or spa.

But have they really done it?

I'm different.

I've actually made good money - while enjoying what I do. I love my
job!

(There is such satisfaction in knowing that you help other people
look and feel better about themselves.)

My point?

I spend only about 1/3 of my time "teaching" this stuff. I spend the
other 2/3 actually doing what I teach.

How many of the so-called "gurus" can make that claim?

HOW MUCH IS YOU'RE SIMPLE GUIDE FOR STARTING A SALON OR SPA WORTH?

First of all, I guess you could do all this yourself.

Figure it out.

Do the trial-and-error method like I did.

Go through all the pain and heartache that I went through.

Let me share with you what that will cost you...

I'm a pretty smart girl. But...it took me 20 years, and $65,000 to
figure all of this out.

Literally. In real dollars and cents. (Think of schooling, interest,
classes, and equipment and that's just off the top of my head. I would
be scared to take a pencil and paper and figure it out. In all
honesty, that figure is on the low side. It's probably way more than
that!)

So we can start there: this information can save you the 20 years and
$65,000.

You'll be glad to know that I am not planning to charge $65,000 for
this e-Book.

TOTAL VALUE OF MY INSIGHTS AND EXPERIENCE:
AT LEAST $65,000

THE $65,000 E-BOOK YOU CAN GET
FOR MUCH LESS...

Maybe, right about now, you're thinking, "Okay, Valerie, what the
heck were you thinking? I'm glad you're not planning to charge $65,000
for an e-book."

And maybe you're also thinking, "But.... I'm smarter than you,
Valerie, and it's not going to take me 20 years and $65,000 in
mess-ups to get this system figured out."

Well, maybe. Maybe not. (Hopefully Not)

But why not save yourself the time and money, and just use my
"Insider Secrets" version of how to start and run your business?

I'm a little shy to tell you how little I am asking...

I'm afraid you'll be shocked and perhaps a bit incredulous. You'll
wonder why it doesn't cost more.

it. Don't think small. Take action, , and make a difference!
