I have been thinking about how to get more entrepreneurship into the blog, partly because there are some who have requested it and also because I usually get good feedback every time I write about my company and because I think it's great fun!<\/p>\n

Many people have a hard time identifying themselves as entrepreneurs, but if I had to choose between that and a makeup artist, I actually feel more like an entrepreneur actually :) in the long run.<\/p>\n

And my focus, no matter what I write about, is not just to inspire but also to give you tips<\/strong> on how you too should succeed! This applies regardless of whether it is about making a nice eyelinervinge or starting your own webshop :) In addition, company talk is often inspiring even if you do not have a company yourself, it is always possible to apply tips to your job and private life as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So my idea now is to make a post about my business week every Sunday! Today comes the first post and it certainly happens to be Wednesday today but the first business week gets a waiver;) Hope you think it will be fun!<\/p>\n

1. Meeting with the employment service<\/strong>
\nI was really hot inside after a meeting I had with the employment service regarding an intern who will start with us tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I'm used to getting praise for my job, but 99.9% of all compliments is about my make - up, our good products, etc. But something I'm not spoiled by is getting praise for being a good entrepreneur and employer! When I talked about how we should set up the internship, how we work at the salon and all that, the supervisor jokingly asked if she could send other employers on a course with me haha! I got a lot of praise, which I was not prepared for at all, so it was really a boost for self-confidence! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

2. Creative Makeup Kickoff 2017!<\/strong>
\nBasically all the time last week was spent preparing for Friday's kickoff with the whole team! We were on Odalg\u00e5rden<\/a> outside Uppsala (highly recommended, we were there last year too) and it was a really successful day, everyone felt so excited and we got really good feedback.<\/p>\n

The most important thing we presented was our new target image that we will reach no later than June 30, 2018 and I held the entire presentation around it!<\/p>\n

This is how we work:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Goal image -<\/strong> First, we presented our goal picture, 4 clear points with how we want the company to look within a year. But it is not enough to decide a goal picture and then go back to work and just hope that the dream comes true, but you have to start and work in the right direction to get there.<\/li>\n
  2. Current status image -<\/strong> And to know what we are going to do, we have to look at what the business looks like today, what opportunities do we have and what needs to be improved? This is broken down into different categories.<\/li>\n
  3. Strategic focus -<\/strong> But all the points listed above we can not do at once (even if you want!) But you have to look at which points are most prio and start with them. These most acute points can be summarized as a sub-goal, which must be achieved earlier than the goal picture.<\/li>\n
  4. Key figures -<\/strong>\u00a0Now we know where<\/em> we will and how<\/em> we must start working to get there, but we must also be able to follow up that it is going in the right direction - and above all have time to do something about it not<\/em> going in the right direction. We do this with key figures that are specific things you measure to see if it progresses. The key figures are not necessarily figures on sales and such, but you can measure just about anything, how well you follow routines, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We did all this exactly one year ago and we reached those goals this June! :) And now I presented our new goal picture, focus and key figures that we will put our teeth into in the coming year!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    In addition to talking about concrete facts such as goals and structures, we also told a little about our background and how it came about that we, me, Annika and Miska, merged our companies 2 years ago.<\/p>\n

    For the past year, we have become many more at the salon and they have more or less been thrown into the business and have gotten to know each other over and over again. But since we are two companies that merged, it is important that everyone knows about the background, we have some customers who have been on Annika's journey in her first salon (or kind of scrub as it was then haha) while some have come from my kept and followed my blog and webshop since I went to high school.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    After group work and coffee out in the sun, Annika gave a presentation on personal development, which we will start working on more in the coming year. Because we are sooo happy with our team at the salon and really want them to feel that they are growing with<\/em> U.S.<\/p>\n

    Annika started Creative Makeup almost 11 years ago and do you know that only 2% of all Sweden's companies survive for over 10 years? So it's really good!<\/p>\n

    During that time, she has not only gathered the world's largest knowledge bank in permanent makeup, but also in personal development and what is important in life.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Annika also showed this ironic image in her presentation, what is important in life? You will not lie on the deathbed and think that you should have spent a little more time at work as well :) Just because you do something fun does not mean that you do not need time to rest too, regardless of whether you own a company or are employed . We have such good people with us so we do not have to worry about them not doing their best, and are very careful that they have balance in life and feel good.<\/p>\n

    It was a long way to the kickoff but it's basically that and brow picking that has reflected my entire business week this week haha! And it all ended with a wonderful dinner with lots of laughter and bullshit, so cozy!<\/p>\n

    Hope you thought this setup was a little fun. On Sunday there will be an update about this week and it will be very mixed with big and small and rice and rose :)<\/p>\n

    Hugs are!<\/p>\n
