Author of The Success Formula
The Success Formula sparks began to stir when I was travelling interstate on a monthly basis back in 2013, regularly meeting with a variety of salon and clinic
owners. Later reflecting on these meetings, I realised that it was clear they all shared the same struggles – staff and training issues, wearing too many hats, and while most salons were doing well, there was NO time left for family or recreation.
The Success Formula flames really took alight in 2015 when a family tragedy struck, leading me to close my wellness clinic. Because of systems I had previously put in place, the income however continued to grow. With my 30+ years in the industry, combined with my teaching background, I realised I had the key all salon and clinic owners needed to know about.
To say I am proud of The Success Formula, is an understatement and I am excited to be sharing it with you.

I was introduced to Karen through a mutual colleague in 2010. I very quickly recognized Karen was a wealth of knowledge and support for my beauty salon. My business benefitted immediately, and my personal growth was an unexpected gift. It wasn’t long before I was sharing her magic with others. I was thrilled to be asked to join the Success Formula team and I look forward to working with you.

Karen came into my life in 2013 when I was working in a salon in Adelaide. I was lucky enough to be the therapist assigned to look after Karen’s appointment that day. During the conversation I realised that although she still had her own clinic on the Gold Coast, she often took weekends off. I was curious how she could do this and still have a successful salon – this sounded too good to be true!
7 years later, I have my own Salon, live in Broome, travel more than I ever could afford to before and am proud to call Karen my friend.
