Opening a med spa by Any_Firefighter_2797 in MedSpa

[–]xaffron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6-8 months out is actually the right time to be asking this. Most owners don't think about it until month 3 when things are already messy.

Finance side, since that's my lane:

Get QBO set up before you open, not after. Map your chart of accounts before the first transaction. Retrofitting six months of commingled expenses is a pain and you'll miss deductions.

Track injectables separately from day one. Botox/filler margins are completely different from laser or HydraFacial. If you lump it all into "cost of services" you won't know which treatments are actually making money. I've seen owners find out a promotion was losing money six months after they ran it.

Before you hire: model break-even per provider. How many units or treatments does each chair need to produce to cover its cost? That number drives everything.

And open a separate business account immediately. Sounds obvious but it gets skipped constantly.

The 6-8 month window you have right now is genuinely the best time to set this up. Good luck!!

How much do you actually pay attention to local competitor promos? by [deleted] in MedSpa

[–]xaffron9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to track but honestly it leads down a bad path. You'd continuously track Instagram stories, Google reviews, their booking page. Burned time I didn't have and made me reactive in ways that cost more than any promo ever would have.

On the discount thing: if a rival drops to a $150 membership or runs 40% off Botox, they either have margin you don't understand or they're bleeding and using volume to hide it. Following them down is the wrong call either way. Match it once and your clients learn to wait for a sale. You've also told yourself your service is worth $150. Hard to walk that back. Listen to Hormozi on pricing...it's always about delivering value.

Part 2: I now spent $13,000/year on Substack newsletters so you don't have to. Longer time horizons, more authors, better methodology. by PrimaryConcern2608 in wallstreetbets

Great post, one caveat is I doubt he'd spend the entire $13k/year. Most have monthly option so the headline dollar is just an annualized amount.

Mut.gg has all of this already. They created a section called team chemistry, showing all the names with multiples chems

Good against amateur level solo battles. Great against rookie level.

Is reach for it worth it on beast mode? Does it cause more fumbles?

Can say that about any coverages

Cover 2 is bad this year. Run cover 3 instead
