Goaldigger Sessions
During the Goaldigger Sessions (formerly Business Development), to further your personal and business goals, we will look at the necessities to achieve them. We do this through professionalization and business development.
To know how to get to your desired goal, you need to know where you currently stand as an entrepreneur.
We therefore start the session with a baseline measurement. We do this by mapping out the current situation using various business models. As always, the trainings given by Yalou Ensemble are not only focused on hardskills but also on soft skills. In this way you can correctly implement and translate the drawn up strategy within your company and its execution. Goaldigger session can also be booked on its own.
Because goals are personal and can vary greatly, the design of the Goaldigger Session is adapted to your individual needs.
Price: €300 per 2 hours.
Number of days: 1
Including: theory and workbook, lunch
and, upon successful completion, certificate
Location Yalou Ensemble & Yalou Academy:

Discover our Combination Deal: optimize your benefits by combining several courses together.
Choose from a range of courses and combine them for even greater impact. Save time and money while expanding your skills and knowledge with our flexible and economical combination deal option.
The following modules are covered during goaldigger training:
Hi Yazzmin, how do you do this? Where do you buy this from? What do you use for this? How did you approach this and how were you able to achieve your growth/goals?
Are questions I, as a salon owner, have been approached with almost daily for 7 years. Some more kindly than others, but almost always answered with all my love. Achieving all my business goals has not come naturally, has not been free and has cost blood sweat and tears. So it's only natural that I don't (anymore) give away all my strategies and hard work, built from practical experience combined with a business background, for free.
If you still have a question that is specific or focused on your business? Then you can take a Goaldigger Session. During this session of at least 2 hours we will go deeper into this while enjoying some goodies.
The sessions can take place on location in The Project Room of Yalou Ensemble Markerkant 10 13 B 1316 AA Almere or through an online training.

Why students choose Yalou Academy
The course I recently had the opportunity to take with Yalou, I found to be very informative. she is passionate and I thought it was cool to see that she also applied her business skill during the course. Everything was super professional and well organized down to the last detail, from the food to the Powerpoint presentation and of course the model she was able to arrange for me last minute. Yazz was patient and explained everything from A to Z which even made us walk out for a few hours 🙈.The training was intense but truly fun to do! I'm glad I chose you 😊
Romana / Founder @Amourr My Hair / NL
I found the training day to be relaxed and informative. I found the theory interesting and certainly necessary. I found the practical part very instructive. I had a hard time with it but your patience and relaxed (sometimes strict 😂) attitude made me feel at ease. I thought it was a very well done training from A to Z. From the moment you come in the door your training actually starts. She takes the time to explain everything and also gives you the space to ask questions. Theory and practice both equally valuable!
Iraida / Founder @ AdiasCrown / BE
Gianny / Founder @CherBeautyParlour / NL
First I would like to say thank you very much for this instructive training day. I experienced the training day as very fun, educational and intense. The theory was well and clearly explained. I also found it very
nice that there was a theory book with questions in it so you can easily find the essence.
I found applying the knowledge during the practical part quite difficult. I liked it that you immediately pointed out when I did something wrong, but also that I had to discover my own mistakes.
I thought you explained everything very well. During the training day I felt very comfortable. You were very supportive during the practical part.
