Step into the program designed to help you master sales, leadership, and business strategy at the highest level. Mirabella Mindset Podcast  Hosted by Nick Mirabella  Featuring Heather Manuel from Pip University  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/professorheat/ In this episode, Nick sits down with Heather from Pip University, one of the most respected voices in salon leadership, business coaching, and industry education. What starts as a conversation quickly becomes a masterclass on building thriving salons, leveling up as a leader, balancing motherhood and ownership, and developing the mindset required to build a powerful business in today's industry. Whether you are a stylist, owner, educator, or someone building your personal economy in the beauty space, this episode delivers the depth and direction you are looking for. What You Will Learn in This Episode 1. The Real Origin Stories Heather and Nick get honest about their beginnings. Dropping out of school, feeling behind, lacking confidence, messing up early clients, and navigating the loneliness that comes with leadership. 2. Leadership That Actually Works The truth about leading veteran stylists. Building trust. Casting vision. Holding standards. And understanding why many owners lose their A players without realizing why. 3. The Skill vs Personality Equation Nick breaks down one of the most important frameworks for stylists and owners. If your skill is low, your personality must be high. If you master both, you become unstoppable. 4. Structure Over Chaos How discipline, routines, schedule control and boundaries create more income, more peace at home, and better performance in the salon. 5. How to Train Your Team Without Burning Out Nick shares the Camcorder Method, a system for building internal education that runs on autopilot so you can scale faster with less stress. 6. The Difficult Truth About Burnout and Ownership The lonely nights, the turnover, the emotional responsibility and the financial pressure. Why most owners burn out silently and how to avoid it. 7. Motherhood, Business and Identity A transparent conversation about being both a parent and a leader. Why guilt shows up, how to separate roles, and how to create a life that flows rather than fractures. 8. Commission vs Booth Rent A real conversation about which model grows leaders, which grows the industry, and which model limits long term scalability. 9. The Personal Economy How stylists and owners can build multiple income streams beyond the chair through retail, education, online courses, digital products and more. 10. Scaling Your Vision Without Losing Yourself How to grow, pivot, expand your brand and keep your team aligned even as your business evolves. Why This Episode Matters This is not a surface level conversation.  This is two industry leaders sharing the truth about what actually creates success in the salon world. If you have ever thought: Why am I working this hard for such slow progress How do other stylists hit 20k months Why can I not get my team to follow me How do I scale without losing my mind How do I grow a business and still be a great parent This episode will change the way you think.

🚀 Ready to break into salon sales at the very top? Apply now & join The Level Up Academy → https://nickmirabella.com/pages/apply In this episode of The Mirabella Mindset Podcast, host Nick Mirabella dismantles three of the biggest lies holding salon owners and stylists back from true success and replaces them with strategies that actually work. You’ll discover: 1️⃣ Why “just work harder” can be a trap and how to redirect your effort into the right systems, salon model, and strategic actions. 2️⃣ Why you don’t need to be the best stylist in your salon and the crucial mindset shift to becoming the best owner instead. 3️⃣ Why marketing can’t fix everything and how “good marketing makes a bad product fail faster” if your service isn’t world-class. Nick goes deep on: Building your replacement ladder so you can delegate and elevate. Overcoming the scarcity mindset that keeps owners small. Replacing “fear-based” decision-making with the powerful “even if” mindset. Stopping busywork disguised as productivity and focusing only on the tasks that move the needle. Turning your salon into a culture-rich, high-performing team environment. The mindset, marketing, operations, and leadership pillars that create lasting profitability.
