Hello Everyone!!!
The new year is here and it's time to move! Many refer to February as the month of LOVE and others think of Black History Month. Therefore, I will address both topics. LOVE, for starters, is my last name!:-) It's a very unique last name and I try to exemplify it with my actions. I love my God, family, friends, and career. When you have LOVE in your life, it promotes better attitudes and health. Being I'm a Christian, when you have the love of God (and/or any other higher being in which YOU believe in), even stressful situations feel easy.
LOVE makes you want to move and make things happen! It makes you feel as if all things are possible. The LOVE of your clients and the look on their faces when they appreciate your services, should make you feel great! When my students and former students tell me they LOVE me, it makes me want to work harder. When you LOVE your business, it makes you want to keep it clean, upbeat, and positive.
The LOVE of a companion, spouse and family enables you to have a safe haven in which to return. To be encouraged and supported by the person you love is priceless! If you haven't told anyone you LOVE them, try it TODAY!
The LOVE of our history is equally important. We have to know where we came from in order to know where we're going in life. Black History Month to me, is EVERY month. And, it should be for ALL ethnic groups. We have a lot of black people who have contributed to our country on many levels. We have to recognize and be truthful about our past and move in a positive direction.
A few months back, I watched "ROOTS" for the first time, since I was a child. As we know, the great Alex Haley wrote the book about his research of his ancestors. I learned so much this time, because I wasn't mature enough to understand it when I was a child. Also, the "times" were different and most people focused only on the "RACIAL" aspect of it.
One of the interesting things I learned, there were Scottish slaves here before African slaves, according to the story. But, because they were white, when they escaped and dressed up, slave owners couldn't identify them as slaves. Being most slave owners were business people, these escapees were affecting production of crops and other manual labor. Since some of them were already trading in Africa, purchasing alcohol, tobacco, and other things, someone had the idea of attempting to bring Africans to this country to do manual labor.
And, if they tried to escape, they could be identified, unlike the Scottish slaves. I learned so much and I realized, initially, it was more of a business decision, than a hatred of a ethnic group. Because in actuality, many slave owners had no experience with Africans. Was it right? Of course, NOT!!!
As mentioned, this is one thing I learned and wanted to share. And, there is so much more. Today, we have to move forward. We're living in ever-changing times and in order to keep up, you have to receive the proper information. Hence, leads me to tell you about two (2) new avenues I have provided to keep you informed with updated information.

It's 2013!!!!
Hello Everyone!!!
It's time to implement the plans you made last year. Many of us took a deeper look into our lives and are trying to decide what needs to change and who needs to go. Yes, you have to be clear. As we embark into a new year, we have to do the same with business. If methods and people were not working last year, there is no need to keep them around.
Now, don't give up on methods and people so easily. Be sure you have tried everything in your power to work through it. And, if to no avail, it's time to make a change or move in a different direction. In life, people get comfortable and the thought of change is scary.
Sometimes, we don't know our own strength, until we are put into an uncomfortable position. When everything is comfortable and you are not being challenged, you will not reach your best. You become better when you have to think, using your brain to sort things out, making plans for the next phase of your life or business, and contemplating on how to become a better person.
Many times, people want to blame others for what has gone wrong in their lives or businesses. You have to look at yourself first. It's easy to say, "I'm not happy on my job, because of another person. Or, I'm not happy in my life because of another person." If you're an adult, you have choices.
You decide to stay on that job or in that stage of your life, mostly because you have gotten comfortable, things are easy, and you don't have to put forth much effort into keeping things moving along. In business, many people will not attend Continuing Education classes to keep up with the latest trends and technology. Therefore, they feel their business is slow, but, without years of Continuing Education, they may not offer what the consumer is requesting and have no knowledge of it.
In life, some people exist and not live. I challenge each of you reading, live life to the fullest! Enroll in a class, (start with one) join a new organization, visit a city or country for the first time, or just do something fun! I will start a new venture this year.
The Toni Love Show is coming to WCLK.com or 91.9 Jazz in Atlanta starting February 2013!!! Be sure to tune in and if you want to become a sponsor, or a patron and have your business mentioned on the show, e-mail me at tonilovetc205@gmail.com. Or, if you have a topic you would like me to discuss, send me a message!!!:-) Be sure to tune in anytime during the month online and become educated and enlighten........

Planning for the New Year!!!!
Hello Everyone!!!!
As we celebrate the holiday season, as a business owner, we have to plan for the year ahead. Planning consists of reflecting over the year, observing the profits and losses, eliminating the practices and people who are no longer working for the good of the business. Our annual conference is an event we will focus on earlier in the coming year to ensure it's a greater success in 2013!!!!
The 2nd Annual Hair Loss and Business Conference was held at the Atlanta Airport Westin Hotel on October 7th-8th. The event was attended by cosmetologists throughout the United States. I taught the first session on Interlocking (no-braid/no glue hair extension technique) and Non-Surgical Hair Replacement. Carmilla Terrell of GA, taught a session on Make-Up Application Techniques including: Air Brushing, Lash Application, and Make-Up for Television. Yolanda Nevett-Broome of GA presented a power-point session on “Forming a Legal Business Entity.” Mrs. Eunice Dudley of NC and owner of Dudley Beauty School Systems gave a very inspirational and motivation presentation on “Surviving Breast Cancer and Running a Business.”
On Sunday night, the attendees were treated to a red carpet “Step and Repeat” celebrity style photo shoot before being served a dinner which consisted of: salad, fresh salmon, chicken breast, seasoned potatoes, and vegetables; followed with cheesecake and strawberry toppings. During the dinner, there was an Awards Ceremony and celebration of my 10th year anniversary in business. On Monday, Mrs. Peggy Thornhill of MS, President of the National Hair Loss Council spoke on “Opening and Running a Hair Loss Center.” Lastly, Mr. Charles Fields of AL conducted a session on “Understanding Non-Profit Organizations and Federal Grants.”
Sponsors of the conference included: Barry Fletcher Products, Dr. Daniels, D. Gallagher, FHI Products, Norelco (razor company), and Keurig Coffee. On Sunday, January 13th, 2013 I am hosting a Hair Loss Solutions Seminar in Atlanta and it’s open to the public. For more information and to view pictures from the conference, visit www.tonilove.com or Facebook: Toni Love Cosmetology.
Although you're planning, take time to have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Preparation Time!!!!
Hello Everyone!!!!
In September, I wrote about October, being we were preparing for our annual Hair Loss and Business Conference. The conference was very successful and the attendees are still talking about it. Although, the 2013 conference is eleven (11) months away, I'm already preparing for it. I want to make it Bigger and Better than the last.
As we enter November, it's time to prepare for the new year. The end of this year is less than two (2) months away. This is the time to prepare a budget for next year. (Personal & Professional) This is the time to make a list of new services to offer, get input from your staff about upcoming promotions, make the list of needed household items/projects, and set achievement goals.
The holidays are fast approaching and most people are preparing menus for their holiday dinners and some are even preparing Christmas lists, to get an early start. Holiday parties are being planned for the offices, as well as the salons and barbershops. Invitations are being sent out, well in advance.
This is a great time of year. A time to be happy and festive and be with loved ones. The holidays are not always pleasant for some people. Some people are alone and sad. I say to you, get out, volunteer and make friends. When you're feeling alone and sad, go visit the nursing homes and make a new friend. Visit a homeless shelter and volunteer your time and service.
Prepare to do something good and worthwhile this holiday season!!!

What is a Hair Loss Conference?
Hello Everyone!!!
It's time to begin preparing for Breast Cancer month. October is almost here and most of us know at least one person who has or have been diagnosed with breast cancer. With today's technology, many people make a full recovery. Many women have to undergo chemotherapy to treat their cancer, resulting in hair loss.
Men, women, and children suffer from hair loss issues. Most people suffer in silence. The victims of hair loss, especially if it's sudden, most times, feel like they are missing a part of themselves. Some are embarrassed, while others are "shy" and won't openly discuss it. With men and women alike, it would help, if the cosmetologist or barber was "trained" in this area to offer more solutions. And, to create a comfortable atmosphere to have the discussion.
I am hosting my third Hair Loss and Business Conference. It will be held October 7th-8th, 2012 at the Atlanta Airport Westin Hotel. The purpose of this conference is to educate the professionals as well as ANYONE who is suffering from hair loss. On Sunday, starting at 9:00 a.m., I will be conducting a class entitled: Solutions to Hair Loss. Dr. Stacy Haynes, dermatologist, will follow teaching a class entitled: Bridging the Gap: Dermatologists and Cosmetologists. Many people visit the dermatologist because of hair loss problems, therefore, if their cosmetologist or barber was collaborating with the medical professional to treat the client, their "joint" efforts will lead to positive results.
Sam McCray is a wonderful make-up artist, who will share his skills in a class: The Proper Steps of Applying Flawless Make-up. Mrs. Yolanda Broom will follow with a business/law class on: The Legal Process of Business. She is an attorney and works for the government writing and presenting contracts. Sunday will end with a powerful speaker, Mrs. Eunice Dudley. Mrs. Dudley is the co-founder of Dudley Products. She is a breast cancer survivor and will discuss her illness while continuing to run a multi-million dollar business in a class entitled: Surviving Breast Cancer and Running a Business.
On Sunday night, we will be celebrating my 10th year anniversary with food, fun, and laughter!!!!
Monday morning starts with Mrs. Peggy Thornhill, a Certified Hair Loss Specialist, who has been in the hair restoration business for over 20 years. In her class, Owning and Operating a Hair Loss Center she will share tips on the "do's and dont's" and how to get paid through insurance companies for hair loss clients who qualify.
Mr. Charles Fields, will teach us about obtaining government grants. His class, Non-Profit Organizations and Federal Grants, Mr. Fields will provide the proper information needed to set up a non-profit organization. And, he will discuss how to obtain funds from the government to assist with the mission of your organization.
The two days will be filled with a wealth of knowledge for the professionals to return to their businesses and prepare for 2013. If you are NOT in the hair industry, you will receive information that can be utilized in your life or in your business. And, lastly, if you would like to come and celebrate my 10th Anniversary with us on Sunday night, be there at 7:00 p.m. with $40.00 (includes only the celebration, NOT the classes) and be sure to "Dress to Impress!!!!":-)

The NEXT Chapter......
Hello Everyone!!!!
As we go through life, things will happen and we won't always understand the reasons. I have learned over the years, "nothing just happens." Nothing is a coincidence, there is no such thing as luck, and there is not always a concrete answer for the question, "why?" I have learned to accept these concepts and move forward.
These concepts can apply to our personal and professional lives. Many times, we may not have the needed support or tools to accomplish the finished goal. Over the years, I have taught high school students and adults and I've listened to them verbalize their dreams. A lot of them, had no clue how these dreams would be fulfilled or the tools needed to make them come true.
You have to take time to "get real" with yourself. You have to stop living the way society has deemed to be correct. You have to stop "pretending" and "putting on a show" for other people. You have to stop lying about what you have and "name dropping" to impress people. You have to stop "chasing the superiors on the job," trying to impress them, when they don't have a genuine interest in you. At the end of the day, when you're driving in your car or at home alone, how do you feel?
Do you feel good about your life and yourself? Do you spend time alone, conducting "self-talk," thinking of ways to improve and accepting "YOUR" reality? Many people are married and have families and still feel alone. If this is so, it's time to make the necessary changes. And, if you answered "no" to the previous questions, it's time to answer "yes." It's time to make changes. It's time to move into the "NEXT CHAPTER" of your life.
During the next chapter of your life, after "getting real with yourself," the new you will evolve. Your direction will be clear. Big changes will occur, new career opportunities will present themselves, prestigious new positions are awaiting, and there will be a rise in income and status. I have a friend who decided to "get real" with himself after struggling with denial and negative pressures for over twelve (12) years and today he tells me, he's clean and free. He stepped out on faith and refuses to look back.
Don't you want to be "clean and free?"

Be Still
Hello Everyone!!
We are in the heart of summer and it's a great time to re-evaluate your business and your personal life. This is a great time to plan for fall events, like running back to school specials, Labor Day specials, tail gating parties, etc. This is also a time to reflect on what is and not working. We're a bit past the halfway mark of the year, so there is plenty of time to make preparations for 2013.
This is the time to plan for a New Year's promotion within the business, trend releases for fall and spring, as well as, introducing new services to the market. It's time to define your demographics, know your client base, anazlyze your business as it pertains to the clients' needs and wants. Gather the staff and on a personl level, the family, and discuss the new goals and ideas going forward.
In life and in business, we can have a million ideas running through our minds. We have to realize, we can't do everything at once. Sometimes, we have to "BE STILL" and listen to our inner thoughts. Take time to write ideas on paper and devise a plan.
In our personal and professional lives, we are moving fast and going nowhere. We are not accomplishing any goals, because we haven't taken time to identify them and devise a plan of action. Many times, we are thinking about the past and what could have been or a mistake we made and can't move forward.
This is the time to be still and quiet. Take a piece of paper and write the "pros and cons" of your anticipated decision. When you do this, don't make any hasty decisions, wait until you feel it in your gut and then move on it. Therefore, it feels right and there are no regrets.
So, best wishes as you move forward and conquer your goals for the remainder of 2012!
