Don't forget... to successful people, there is no such thing as "defeat." What looks like defeat is no more than a great opportunity. Start creating opportunities out of failures and being successful today!
Successful people DO what unsuccessful people WON'T do.
1. Choose a definite dream. 2. Put all your energy into that dream. 3. Be willing to do menial work at first. 4. Visualize your dream. 5. Form a strategy. 6. Endure through the hard times. 7. Eliminate any way to retreat.Permalink
Nail Salon Menu 101
July 10, 2011
Nail Salon 101.... If I get one more person telling me about some damn PORCELAIN NAILS... Check the Note.
Examples of typical scams include:
SOLAR NAILS - Solar Nails is a BRAND of acrylic manufactured by Creative Nail Design. It is one of the original brands. It is a true acrylic and nothing more.
GEL NAILS - which are actually acrylics with a UV gel top coat (If the product doesn't look like a gel and it's liquid and powder-it's basic acrylic)
CRYSTAL NAILS - simply a clear tip with clear acrylic overlaid on the entire enhancement
PORCELAIN NAILS - nothing more than acrylic or gels possibly with a UV gel top coat
DIAMOND NAILS - the reason these are "more expensive" is because they are hard like diamonds (real Diamond Nails are a dip... resin and acrylic powder)
BAIT & SWITCH salons will have three jars on the table, possibly hand labeled, one says acrylic, one says gel and one says fiberglass. They are all acrylic, but the consumer will be told fiberglass and gel are better for their nails and cost more

Yesterday, I saw someone really working in his passion. As many times as I've had my Volvo detailed... This guy worked in this Charlotte humidity and made my car look freaking BRAND NEW. It took him 2 hours from wash, compound, to wax. Made the headlights gleam, and tail light bright. And he smiled the entire time he worked. Passion is golden! (I didn't even ask for the compound-he JUST DID IT).
But even noticing his passion and how hard he worked, I'm reflecting on how I could have made his day better and I didn't do it... All I needed to do was offer him a bottle of water yesterday. I am always thinking of ways to be a better person, and I am feeling convicted because he worked so hard, and I didn't offer him water yesterday.
He was there again today washing one of Moo's client's car... So on the way out of the salon on my way to lunch, I gave him a bottle of water from the salon. He was so grateful that he offered to do my next 4 washes for free. Wow!
Just because he's in the service industry didn't make him a servant... And he was just happy because he didn't have to walk back into the landlords building to get just a CUP of water. That made me think, we are so quick to take the little stuff for granted. I just can't stop thinking about the smile on his face due to a bottle of water.
Glad to see his passion... But being so passionate, he almost overlooked his health in this heat...
Basically saying, sometimes you need to see yourself in other's situation and help them out and be a SMALL BLESSING and you...
