First off, you are likely NOT an Independent
Contractor.
Regardless of what you say, I am an IC,
Independent Contractor and ...
Wait.. there are employees and there are independent
business persons (booth renters mostly)
and there are a lot of employees who THINK they are Independent Contractors...
There are a lot of people, including your
CPA who will
tell you that you are an Independent Contractor...
But, mostly, they are wrong. SO...read...

About 8 out of 10 people ARE WRONG about what they THINK they know about booth
rental.
The first question for you is what does it say in your signed booth rental
agreement ??
There are people who charge you MONEY for the same booth rental information
that
is FREE here.
Everyone involved in booth rental NEEDS a signed booth rental agreement.
We are going to save you $195 to $495 for a sample booth rental agreement that
we give permission to all
to print and use.

We are surrounded by discount
shops....
Chop shops are undercutting my prices like you wouldn't believe....
How the discount shops get away with it....
We have to do something about the discount shops....
Wow, do we see a lot of hot and heavy emotional
comments about the discount shops.
Definitely, a serious subject to many.
And the fact is that most techs out
there who are upset about
the discount shop segment of the nail business have
never even been inside of a discount shop.
We have.
We owned and operated discount shops.
We may have some thing to say about the discount shops that some will find hard
to accept.
First off, discount shops are not your competition.
They compete with
price, walk-in convenience,
and unsafe, unsanitary, sloppy, sometimes dangerous
work.
See, that is not your style of business, so if you find that they
are your competition,
then you must not be marketing yourself correctly.
OK, first let us speak of discount shops, chop shops,
NSS, non-standard shops,
and POORWORK.

PoorWork Business Segment
Here is the March edition of our
newsletter ... (only published for 2 months) it leads off with ...

after they

What
Future For Discount Shops?
Finally, we have a response to the
20/20 TV segment on discount shop lack of sanitation,
