I know you’ve probably heard me say this before but the time of writing down numbers on an index card is over.

There is no way to keep track of all your business connections on a tab of paper, let alone use those contacts to your advantage when they are sitting on top of the pile of work on your desk. Databases were created as tools to organize and prioritize and the time has come for you to learn all about the business contact database in order to generate more appointments for your beauty, therapy or hair business.

The database program most people are familiar with is Excel. There are several Open Source programs that are free and work in the same manner as this Microsoft invention. The FREE programs, I say again, work just as well as the expensive programs, so using the excuse of not being able to afford the database program is not going to work this time.

In fact if you don’t have an industry specific program or Excel, you can get started by using the Open Source OpenOffice suite of programs. Just go to www.openoffice.org to get your copy.

After you have fiddled with the program a bit and learned how to create cells, delete cells and manipulate your data, you have completed the toughest part of creating your business contact database. The next stop, adding those contacts.

When you organize the business contacts in a database format, you will have quick, easy and searchable business contacts to use every day in your health, beauty or wellness business. There is no way for you to spread the word about your business if you have no idea who to contact and when they need to be contacted.

The database stretches far beyond phone numbers as well. With home phones, business phones, cell phones, emails, home addresses, business addresses and more, there is no way to keep track of everything without a clear and concise workable format. That format is the database.

What Can I Do With My Database?

Once you set up your database with all of your contact information, you will be able to use that information to generate more therapy or beauty appointments, build relationships, keep in touch with your clients, grow your spa and hair business and much more. You need to use the most effective contact database available and that one is not on the Rolodex collecting dust in your office.

Your health & beauty business is dependent upon the whos and the whens. If you have a list a mile long of contact information for all of the essential people you need to run your business effectively, you need to place all of that information in one spot.

That spot is the database. And it’s the MOST important asset in your business.

If you’ve got a database you’ve got a surefire way to develop more regular clients so take control today and make sure you are using yours.

Media has bombarded us with images of supermodels and has attempted to define real beauty for us. Because of this non-stop bombardment, we often forget that each one of us is endowed with our own sense of beauty.
Your task is to find the beauty within. How do you find it?

Beat stress. Avoid sleeping late to prevent the growth of eye bags and premature skin aging. Observe efficient management of your time. Do not accept tasks that you cannot accomplish in the first place. Learn to beg off and say “No.”

Make realistic schedules and provide allowance for rest time. Indulge in weekly sabbaticals to energize yourself. Leave your weekends free to be able to recharge and prepare for the following week. Also, avoid worrying about minor or trivial things that do not concern you. Maintain a healthy dose of humor and laugh all the time, since it helps you cope up with troubles.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Drink lots of water to speed up the process of cleansing and detoxification. Replace the body liquid that you lose when you perspire. Minimize your intake of fats and exercise daily. Do strenuous physical exercise to release sweat, which is a form of disposing body waste. Ensure regular bowel movement and urination for the same purpose.
Drink fruit juices and milk, which are rich in vitamins that maintain the youthful glow and clarity of skin. Fresh is always the best. However, if this is unavailable, head to the vitamin counter for supplements. Enjoy quiet moments and practice meditation to keep you centered.

Express your authentic self. If you’re a woman, express your real beauty by wearing less makeup. Expensive cosmetic products are simply a mixture of chemicals prepared for external use to condition and beautify the body. For example, pressed powder is often talc-based and composed of magnesium silicate and zinc oxide. Lacquers are the main ingredients of the nail polish, while synthetic detergents form the basic elements of shampoo. Hence, it is never advisable to use or apply them heavily.

Beauty is a major industry. Breakthroughs in technology resulted in light-diffusing make-up, making people look good physically and in photos as well. The trend nowadays is the “no make-up look” which goes for the natural, fresh, and unmade up appearance. It makes one look younger and more importantly, makes the whole gamut of applying make-up look effortless and easy. Technology boosted this trend by coming up with products that allowed people to have that inner glow and radiance 24 hours a day.

Consider your lifestyle in deciding the beauty products to use. If your job entails fieldwork, you need sun block and products with oil and sweat control. If it entails manual labor, stick to deodorizing soaps and products with antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, if you are an office worker holed up in an air-conditioned office for many hours, you will probably need bath soaps with a lot of moisturizing ingredients. Use lotion or oils to keep the skin soft and smooth.
Pamper yourself once in a while. Pamper yourself occasionally, but it does not mean you have to dig deep into your pockets and shell out hard-earned money. You may even do it yourself, or at least, with the help of people at your house. Apply warm coconut oil onto your hair and cover with plastic hair wrap. For the skin, use virgin coconut oil and find someone who can massage well.

Bathe daily. Nothing energizes you more than a quick shower in the morning. Water has therapeutic properties. A soak in the tub or warm bath at the end of the day relaxes your nerves. In addition, it removes the dirt accumulated in your hair and skin. Wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo, rinse, and apply conditioner. For the skin, use clinically tested soaps or better yet, organic or natural soaps.
Go ahead and indulge!

Enjoy life to the fullest and discover your beauty within!
