It took him two years to recover and start back on a serious growth plan. He shared with the SalonLife audience how now, after six years, he plans to sustain growth in his salon. "If I'm going to succeed, I have to create a culture," says Arrojo. "I want people to be nice because clients like nice people, and I want to make every staff member a professional and a business person."

AMANDA GORE, premiere lifestyle speaker, taught SalonLife attendees easy ways to relieve stress whenever and wherever they experience it. Her basic prescription is to connect—your head to your heart, your heart to other hearts, your heart to the heavens. After that, she suggests letting go. "Build a bridge and get over it," she says. "Be a giver, not a sucker." It's also important to laugh, according to Gore. "Show your endorphins. Laugh out loud; it heals." Love, too, is critical. "Angry hearts are sick hearts. Forgiveness is the antidote. Have a purpose, feel happy and belong," she added. Finally, she suggested that attendees learn, unlearn and then relearn. "Celebrate life, love and living. Ask what's the best thing that happened to you today."
