For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Protect Your Bubble There was a time when Danielle realized that the people she was surrounding herself with were also influencing her decisions, but they were not actually people she wanted to spend time with. It’s important to pause and ask yourself about the people you have allowed inside your bubble. If they’re taking away your energy, then they’re not worth your energy. QUESTION Who are you allowing inside your bubble? Why?   Point #2: Be Open Danielle: Art is ever- evolving; it’s subjective. But you can always learn cool new tricks. If someone

For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..POWER Point #1: Results Matter Ani: There are two kinds of people inside our educational training: those who are all in, and because of that are getting massive results, and those who want results but are not willing to put in the work and effort. Danielle: I’m baffled by the students who come to the classes and get their certification, yet have nothing to show for it except the certificate, and then they become bitter towards us. QUESTION Where in your world are you uwilling to do the work but want the results?   Point #2: Clear the Chaos Ani: We were seeing all of sorts of problems inside of BMS so we decided to make some radically huge moves. Next year, we are only allowing 250 students inside of our BMS Mastermind.

On the heels of a wildly successful BMS Convention, Danielle and Coach Ani are back in the studio having a candid conversation about Production in this week’s episode of Big Money Stylist, which continues to top the charts as the #1 podcast in the category of Fashion & Beauty in iTunes. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PRODUCTION Point #1: Production = Action Coach Ani: Production is doing the actual work that’s required in order to move forward. We love that you’re listening to us, but it doesn’t actually count as ‘the work.’ The work is what you do behind and in front of the chair to grow your business, not just listening to a podcast. Danielle: Many people tell us how motivating we are, yet if you’re not actually doing the work, it doesn’t matter that we make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. A lot of people will tell me they’ve changed their mindset, yet you have t

Clear communication, structure, and leadership are some of the topics that Danielle and Ani take on inside of this week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist. Although it’s hard to put the CEO pants on if you’ve never actually been a CEO, learning to walk in another’s shoes is something we can all benefit from. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Don’t Cross the Line Danielle: I feel like I rode the friendship train out too long with no structure, so when I did try to lead, no one gave a shit; nobody respected me. What she has learned is the importance of establishing lines and defining roles inside of her business and her personal life, making certain not to overlap the two. QUESTION Where in your world is it time to establish lines and define roles? Point #2: Clear Communication During walk & talks and weekly team meetings, you are able to find flaws in

On the heels of their first million-dollar event in June of 2018, Danielle and the ladies have a conversation around the topic of Profit, and how it is revealed in many ways, not only monetarily. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROFIT Point #1: #growth Coach Ani: Six months ago, we stood in front of a room of 165 empty chairs and we were like, “Oh fuck, do you see all of these chairs? There’s going to be a person in every fucking chair!” This time we had double the size of that, and as we looked over the audience, Val turned to me and said, “This is it?” Coach Val: Leaving my kids, being in front of people, putting myself out there and teaching – none of it is my natural state. If you know how painfully shy I am, and how much I hate being in the spotlight, I was not only totally fine, I really enjoyed the whole process. So the fact that I did it and enjoyed it, I was like yay!

This week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist podcast comes from a recent BMS event where Danielle, Garrett, Val, and Ani trained over 300 Artists in the Art of Marketing, specifically covering the following: I’m a Marketer, I’m a Closer, I’m a Leader, not a Savior. Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Marketing When Danielle started her NBR brand, Social Media wasn’t as it is today. She knew the power was in leads so she started hustling and using the power of Marketing. As she worked on her Marketing and began seeing results, she experienced a mind shift and realized it didn’t matter if she lived in a small town or a big city, she could still bring in big money through Marketing. QUESTION What are you doing to market yourself?   Point #2: Give Me Your Card, Bitch Ani: As Artists, we feel so beyond awkward trying to close anybody, especially when it’s on the ph

This week’s episode is from the recent Warrior Wealth for Women event in Dana Point, California, where over 300 women were trained in the art of making, keeping, and growing money. Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROFIT Point #1: Constant Change Coach Ani has been working side-by-side with Garrett at the red-hot core of BMS and within Warrior Women. Inside of that, she doesn’t recognize the woman she’s become, in the most beautiful of ways. It’s not so much the destination, because there really is no destination. On your way to becoming that woman, things change. Who you become along the way changes every single time, and so does your path. QUESTION Where in your world have you noticed the biggest change in your path?   Point #2: Vision Quest This is the woman on the island, who you see yourself becoming twelve months from now. Who you think you want to become will continue to

The conversation of Profit doesn’t just refer to money; it extends to the stories we create and hold onto, as well as the people we surround ourselves with. Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROFIT Point #1: I Write My Own Story Danielle: The easy part is acknowledging that you’re in a story; the hard part is changing it. You’re not going to see results overnight, which means you just have to consistently wake up every single day and move towards what you want to create for your new story. A lot of women wake up, fall back into their patterns and routines and say, “See! Fuck it! I can’t do it!” They get stuck in the shame, blame, and guilt game; they use it as an excuse to not have to consistently do the hard work every single day in order to rewrite their story and get the results they’re looking for. QUESTION When you have a story, what does letting go of that story do for you e

        Inside the topic of Production is the conversation of finding your rhythm. It’s the fine line between the discovery of your sweet spot where you can breathe a little, yet not lingering there too long and becoming stagnant. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PRODUCTION Point #1: I’ve Got Rythm Danielle: Getting into a rhythm is momentum; it takes time and finesse, and it’s s where you find your groove. It’s like finding that sweet spot where you can breathe a little. Coach Val: Finding your rhythm is also a place that lingers next to your comfort zone, where it’s time to start shifting and growing some more. If you don’t move forward, you become stagnant. QUESTION What happens when you find your rhythm as an Artist and don’t continue moving forward? Point #2: Upping Your Game Coach Danielle: There’s always the next level to every level. As a business owner, I

Inside the topic of Power, today’s conversation is all about standing up for yourself. Coach Val and Coach Ani share personal and professional experiences which demonstrate the absolute necessity of standing with confidence and certainty in your power. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..POWER Point #1: Brooklyn, the Nose Picker Coach Val describes her eight-year-old daughter, Sawyer, as “the best student and a really good girl who never goes against the grain.” Recently, Sawyer’s fellow classmate made fun of her new braces. Val’s husband’s response to Sawyer when hearing about it was, “Fuck Brooklyn, she’s probably in her room picking her nose.” After more rude comments the following day, Sawyer repeated this to Brooklyn and got written up by her teacher. QUESTION Inside of your “stand up for you” moments, why is it so important for you to have those “fuck you” moments? Point

In this week’s conversation about protection, the ladies discuss the art of retention as well as the necessity of clear communication, building trust, and the ability to recognize when it’s time to let go. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Loyalty Danielle: In the world of hair, retention is important. If you can’t retain clients, it gives you a bad rap in the industry. Coach Val: If you aren’t the best hair stylist but give your clients a stellar experience, they’ll most likely keep coming back. If in general, the whole experience was amazing, you probably have a client for life. QUESTION What is your rentention rate? What can you do to improve on it?   Point #2: It’s All About the Delivery Coach Ani: It’s actually cheaper and easier to keep your current customers than for you to market and get brand new ones. Coach Val: It’s so important to deliver eli

his week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist, the topic is Production, and inside of that the ladies have a conversation about stories – how to recognize when we are in a story that isn’t serving us, how to change our stories, how to separate facts from feelings, and how to ultimately live the life we want through asking the hard questions, checking the Ego, and making necessary course corrections. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PRODUCTION Point #1: What Are Stories? Danielle: People will say they can’t operate at a certain level because they have a story of who they really are and how they operate. They can’t see beyond who they are inside of that story. Coach Val: It’s human nature to justify anything you’re doing. If you say you don’t have any stories, you’re bullshitting yourself. When you’re stuck in a negative cycle, that’s when your story isn’t serving you. QUESTION Whe

The beautiful Big Money Stylist ladies discuss how to embrace your perceived flaws and turn them into strengths. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..POWER Point #1: The Bull, the Goat, and the Hermit Danielle: I’m stubborn, I’m an over-thinker, I don’t like details, I’m a dreamer, I want to live in the moment, and I’ve always felt like I was socially awkward. Coach Val: I’m super creative, it’s hard for me to understand systems, I suck at math, and have zero reflexes. Coach Ani: I’m a super introvert who retreats very quickly, I shut people out, I want to do everything on my own, and I don’t accept help easily. QUESTION What do you view as your flaws?   Point #2: Own Who You Are Coach Val: I feel like I’m off in a land where I can’t be put in a box. I’ve always viewed it as “I’m wrong and weird.” I’m now coming into owning and channeling my artistry, and not looking at it anymor

Coach Ani leads Danielle and Coach Val in a conversation of Protection in this week’s episode, specifically on the topic of Course Correction via the ofttimes misunderstood Art of Collision. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: What is Course Correction? Danielle: Course correction is the willingness to take feedback, learn and grow from it, and then add as much value as you possibly can so you are playing to your full potential. Coach Val: You always want to evaluate where you currently are and look at what is and isn’t working, making changes based off of feedback so you can continue to grow. QUESTION How do you respond to course correction?   Point #2: Collision Coach Ani: A lot of course corrections generally require some sort of collision, not in the sense of a giant fight but more like hard conversations. Coach Val: Something may have worked two years

Coach Ani and Coach Val, lead trainers for BMS and NBR, respectively, open up and get vulnerable in this week’s conversation around the topic of Profit, reminding the listeners that there’s so much more to Profit than dollars and cents. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROFIT Point #1: Growth Junkies Coach Val: We refer to ourselves as growth junkies. Once you do something and you’re able to achieve it, you become addicted to that. It’s really fulfilling. You just want to keep pushing yourself forward, and you don’t want to stay stagnant anymore. If you’re trying to fill a void, I feel that way is not as sustainable as far as growth and seeing a profit goes. If you’re doing it because you want to grow, you want to be better, and you want to better your life and other people’s lives, there’s longevity in that. QUESTION What area of your life have you experienced the most growt

Coach Val and Coach Ani highlight the topic of Production in this week’s episode of the Big Money Stylist podcast. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PRODUCTION Point #1: It Works if You Do Coach Val: Production is doing the actual work. The program’s working, the problem is, you’re not working. Coach Ani: So many students come into the program all hyped up and excited to make a lot of money. They get so amped up, it’s almost like a drug. After they leave, they say the program’s not working. The question becomes, are they doing the work? We’ve had so many artists go through our program and get such amazing results that you can no longer say this program doesn’t work QUESTION Where in your life do you throw in the towel before doing the work required? Point #2: BMS – The Business of Art Coach Val:  For most artists, what we do inside of BMS is so foreign. My brain doesn’t natu

Known for their stoic demeanor, the three dynamic ladies are back this week discussing the topic of vulnerability, which they agree hasn't always been their strong suit. In this episode, Danielle, Val, and Ani share personal stories about what led them to realize that vulnerability is actually a strength, not a weakness. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....POWER Point #1: Plastic Barbies Danielle: My husband, Garrett, is the more emotional one who likes to talk about his feelings. He would always tell me I’m like this plastic Barbie or a robot because I didn't want to share my feelings. I didn’t see that in me, and I guess I came across as unapproachable. Coach Val: When I was little, my mom would say to me, "You never cry!" I was feeling what my sister was feeling, who was a crying mess, but it just didn't come out in tears. It just doesn’t manifest in me the same way it does w

For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..PROTECTION Point #1: Meltdown Territory Coach Val: When I hear the phrase “meltdown territory,” it means that you’re about to hit it. You’re not there yet, but you’re about to freak the fuck out and shit’s about to go sideways. Coach Ani: You’re about to hit rock fucking bottom. You’re not doing well, physically or emotionally. Danielle: Everybody has a bucket, and everybody has different levels to their bucket before they flip their lid. When I hear meltdown mode, if you have 17 levels before you hit meltdown mode, you’re at a 16.9, and you’re about ready to flip your lid. Sometimes when you flip your lid, that amount of emotion makes you reevaluate things to take the actions necessary to do what you’re supposed to

The powerhouse trio is back in the studio this week with a conversation around the topic of Production. Danielle, Val, and Ani discuss how they've seen many artists try to skip the steps necessary for success, and instead concentrate more on their quest for celebrity status and money rather than on the craft itself. At the end of the day, there is no substitute for doing the daily work necessary to build a strong foundation and long-term success. For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week's Episode.....PRODUCTION Point #1: What is Production? Danielle: If you’re not producing, what are you working for? Production is a direct reflection of where you are in business and life. If you’re working and find yourself running in circles, or if you do your numbers and you’re not profitable, what are you working for? You’ve got to know your numbers, and you’ve got to be profitable in order to make it worth you

For Big Money Stylist, we go over the following formula each month: Week #1: Power Week #2: Production Week #3: Profit Week #4: Protection In This Week’s Episode…..POWER In today's episode of Big Money Stylist, Danielle, Val, and Ani engage in an insightful conversation surrounding the topic of power, and how to successfully navigate the fine line that exists between power and entitlement. Point #1: Fine Line Between Power and Entitlement The ladies agree with Val who believes that “power is confidence in owning your shit and owning where you’re at.” While on the road to finding their power, Val believes that people tend to become a little too confident, which leads them to feel like things are owed to them. “That’s the slippery slope and fine line. We want to empower artists to live their best life and stand up for themselves, but sometimes, once they find their power, they start becoming a little lazy and entitled.” Ani: The entire point of BMS is to empower someone to move forward to a better place – a pl
