When you know there's something you need to do - and you must do it no matter what - even if it's the easiest thing - do you ever just feel overwhelmed before you even begin? Expectation Vs. Reality. How do you stay grounded in both? Danielle and Ani unpack the tricky topic of expectation vs. reality and talk about about ways to un-complicate the simple (and difficult af) tasks in our everyday lives, and dive into how to set better expectations to prevent overwhelm and encourage easier overall manageability in the future. Quotes of the Week: "[When you hire somebody to create a specific result for you], you can't be upset on an outcome on what they think they are delivering you if you didn't communicate that that's not what you want. [Communication.] It's a team effort." - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "Your expectation - regardless of whether it's gonna be easy or hard - shouldn't keep you from trying." -Anianne Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® ========================== Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

Expectation Vs. Reality | BMS | EP 179

"Remembering where you came from and [at the same time] allowing yourself permission to succeed and become even more; that's a crucial part of achieving the success you want to achieve -- both in life and in business." - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "The things you want in life will force you to level up.

In this latest powerhouse episode of the Big Money Stylist Podcast, Danielle is back behind the mic with Anianne as they discuss ways to overcome our fears of letting go of something "good" in order to make room to become even greater than what we can currently imagine. ========================== Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

Take It A Step At A Time | BMS | EP 176

Why is it sometimes so damn hard to listen to your own voice -- you know, the voice that's telling you that something isn't right, or that something needs to change, and that something needs change NOW... ?  Why do we sometimes ignore the voice inside the most when it starts screaming the loudest? In the latest episode of the BMS podcast, Danielle and Ani get fired up about why it's sometimes so f**king hard to be honest with ourselves and with others - and discuss how learning to embrace radical honesty in all areas and with all people can give us the courage we need to face our biggest problems - and ultimately find our greatest solutions - head on. Quotes of the week: "If you don't learn your lesson, life will continue to repeat that lesson -- and sometimes in an even bigger way and with a much harder fall -- until you decide to become humble and surrender to what your current reality is trying to teach you." - Danielle K.

Stop ignoring your problems and start listening to the voice inside | BMS | EP 175

Let's be honest for a moment here: why do we sometimes care more about marketing to a potential new client, but then once we've secured their investment, we sometimes kind of stop caring as much? How honest are we really about how well (or how poorly) we treat our customers? Where and how often are we taking accountability for the customer service experience within our own business(es)? In this unsurprisingly SPICY episode of the BMS podcast, Danielle and Anianne get real af about the customer service experience and discuss simple yet game-changing approaches that can help build client trust and satisfaction that will last for years to come.  Quotes of the week: "There's always something you can learn, even if you don't agree with that person's opinion of why a customer experience went south. " - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "I want to you think about these two questions: 1. Are you taking accountability for your customer service? 2. Are you providing a service that reflects the money that you're charging?" -Ani Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® ========================== Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

It's Time To Start Taking Radical Ownership of Your Customer Service Experience | BMS | EP 174

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you're working on something, you're just not making any progress? How do you overcome the sometimes addictive and dreadful thoughts of "I'm just not good enough" or "I'm just not seeing any progress" or "I don't think I can do this" -- and just push forward, even if it's just enough to acknowledge just how far you've really come? How do we notice the lessons and transform them into measured leaps forward within both our personal and professional lives? And then how do we keep that progress cemented and continuous? In this new episode of the BMS podcast, Danielle and Anianne discuss just how the simple act of keeping track of the progress we make - whether big or small - can help us find (and keep) continuous gains in every area of our life. Quotes of the week: "The more you do something, the faster you get over your fear." - Danielle K.

Progress is progress no matter what | BMS | EP 173

Setting personal and professional boundaries that are both effective and long-lasting can sometimes be SO difficult... And, once they are set in place, it can be even harder to KEEP them there. Whether it be with clients, relatives, close friends, or co-workers - or even business partners, a domestic partner, or a significant other - setting and keeping boundaries that are clear and healthily firm is arguably one the most crucially necessary habits to maintaining the priceless integrity of our mental, physical, and emotional health and well-being.  So when we know it's time to set that boundary in our professional and/or personal lives, how do we overcome the guilt and shame so we can just do what we know is actually the right thing for us? And is selfishness a good thing in this scenario? In this new episode, Danielle and Anianne discuss the very real and tricky dance of setting personal and professional boundaries and more - plus talk about various ways to commit to making and keeping healthy boundaries established in our daily personal and professional lives. Quotes of the week: "You just kinda just need to let go of those feelings - that GUILT - and process it to where you're like, "okay, I feel fine. I've moved on. And here's what I learned from it." - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones benefiting from you having none." - Ani Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist®   Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

Setting boundaries is selfish in the best possible way | BMS | EP 172

Overconfidence can oftentimes be the precursor to major disappointment. We believe that our natural abilities in a certain area are so good, that we get the idea in our heads that we cannot fail. And, then, when we do inevitably fail...we wonder if we were any good to begin with. This moment can cause either one of two feelings:  1. Fear: "an unpleasant, often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger" or  2. Panic: "a sudden overwhelming fear, with or without cause, that produces hysterical or irrational behavior, and that often spreads quickly". So, when we feel either of these feelings, how do we calm these sudden emotional tides - whether it be at home or in the workplace - so that we can start focusing on the right things, move forward with stronger clarity, and perform to the best of our natural abilities? In this new episode of the BMS podcast, Anianne Rivera and guest host Katie Guthrie discuss their most humbling moments of failure, how they overcame their fear and panic, and how they challenged their comfort zones and broke open the ceilings of their own limitations to reach new levels of success.   Quotes of the week: "People get so stuck on the "wrong thing" that they never launch anything. And even, especially, I feel like it's the wrong thing - because the RIGHT thing they should focus on is outside of their comfort zone and outside their natural ability." - Ani Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "Is any method going to be flawless 100% of the time? No. Because humans are all different. Every client is different. What really is important, is understanding how to evaluate your own work so that you know what is going wrong so that you can improve upon it." - Katie Guthrie, Director of Events and Operations, DKW Styling Salon, Natural Beaded Rows™️ Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

Let Humility Move You Forward | BMS | EP 171

Commitments. They tell us exactly where we're at, and...they tell us exactly where we're not. They are our own personal mirrors that reflect to us our everyday reality for what it is. So, if we want to "see a different reflection" in our own mirrors of commitment - then, what are we willing to do match the desire of a certain result to an unshakeable commitment to achieve it?  In this week's profoundly hard-hitting episode of the BMS podcast, Danielle and Ani discuss the ways in which our commitments (or lack thereof) shape us, how we can overcome self doubt, and how choosing growth over comfort can help us sculpt our reality into the landscape of our wildest, bravest, dreams.  Quotes of the week: "It doesn't matter. you need to commit. And if you commit, follow through with your commitments and you'll make it 10x further than where you're currently at. Your results are direct reflections of what you're willing to commit to." - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "You're not actually alone. There is so much support and guidance and, like, friendship and love, here. It's true.

It all hinges on YOUR level of commitment | BMS | EP 170

Guilt. It's a poison that comes at us from all sides. And sometimes it comes from the most unlikely of places, and for the most unlikely of reasons. So, when guilt does come up - whether from a friend, a client, a co-worker, or family member - how do we receive this guilt with grace and let it go? In this brand new, beautifully inspiring episode of the BMS Podcast, Danielle is back in the lineup with Anianne as they vibe out about finding ways - both personally and professionally - to give oneself permission to let go of the guilt, find harmony and balance in your energy, and live a life full of health, vibrancy, and sustainability. Plus, tune in til the end as Danielle has a very special announcement to make. Quotes of the week: "It doesn't matter what your story is. I think that whether it's masculine or feminine, you have to find the angle that works for YOU, and be able to tap into both roles that serve you the most in both your business relationships and your personal relationships." "What's the point in working hard if you can't enjoy life while working?" - Danielle K. White, Founder, Owner, DKW Styling Salon®, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® "You do not have to feel guilty because you are not following a set of rules that were not even created by you or for you. You are the one who gets to dictate what your life looks like." "No amount of anything that anyone tells you, and no amount of anything that anyone else does will change your life for you if YOU are not willing to make that change.That's really the biggest thing." - Ani Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows™️, Big Money Stylist® Sit back, tune in, and get ready to LEVEL-UP your hair game for GOOD.

Let GO of the GUILT once and for all | BMS | EP 169

Do you ever feel guilty for taking a break from work, even though you probably haven't had a day off in two days...or maybe even two weeks? Do you ever wonder why it's been so normalized to run and survive off of only your favorite Starbucks drink, a few bites (if that) of food -- and zero bathroom breaks? Why is it so easy to justify being a martyr in the workplace? How do we balance deep, impactful, and fulfilling work while also finding time for deep, impactful, and fulfilling rest - and not feel guilty about it? In this brand new, powerful, and intensive episode, listen as Ani Rivera and guest host Katie Guthrie address the issue of feeling habitual guilt and shame surrounding making time for rest from our work. Listen as they discuss different ways to feel good about making time away from our work for healthy, reasonable space to recharge and recuperate our mind, body, and spirit. Quotes of the week: "I've realized that, If I'm not in a good place, and if I cannot stand in a place of power and strength and mental and emotional clarity, then I can't help them. I can't help you If I don't help me." -Ani Rivera, Lead Trainer, Director of Education, Natural Beaded Rows®, Big Money Stylist® "Work will always be here. But if you are not okay inside, that comes out in your work. If you feel chaotic, your work is chaotic." -Katie Guthrie, Director of Operations and Events, DKW Styling, Big Money Stylist®, Natural Beaded Rows® To learn more about our September virtual convention and to secure your spot today, visit: https://conve.pages.ontraport.net/content For more podcast episodes, blog posts, and other amazing hairstyling tips, tricks, and transformations visit: www.dkwstyling.com Follow us on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dkwstylingsalon/
