Hey lashpreneurs! 👋 Ready for me to shatter the myth that everyone in the beauty biz wants to rock a solo salon suite? 🤔  In my latest episode, I unravel the real reasons behind the Salon Suite trend and spill the tea on why business ownership is NOT necessarily the ultimate beauty industry dream. I spill the beans on the industry's shady (ahem and illegal) hiring practices and why they're steering professionals away from true success and stability to have a long career in this industry. 🚀 Plus, I've got the evidence that there are LOADS of talented individuals dying for great employment opportunities – they just need YOU to create them! In fact, you can hear it directly from legally classified employees of one of my long time clients - who LOVE their job and the work environment and culture they experience at Lashtastic Lounge in Kernersville, NC  - listen to their experience as employees who have ZERO desire to go out on their own on episode 230 HERE. 🌟 Exciting news: My MOST popular Team Building Training is BACK!

Hey, Lashpreneurs! In this week's episode, I dive into the necessary “artistry” of creating a well-organized and efficient business - PROCESSES! We tackled the challenges of being a business owner tackling ALL THE THINGS, especially when starting from scratch. The key takeaway from this episode is hands down the power of processes – the backbone of a successful business - and how PROCESSES are what create a well oiled machine of a business and actually free you up to either take more clients or take less time in running your business. From handling finances effectively, streamlining customer service, to mastering your application and client results, I share just how processes lead to freedom and scalability in your beauty business.

In this final episode of 2023, I’m doing a deep dive on the 8 THINGS WE’RE LEAVING IN 2023 AND the 4 THINGS WE’RE TAKING INTO 2024 🚀  The importance of self-care takes the spotlight in this episode (and in LIFE), reminding us that a thriving business starts with a healthy and stable business owner! You can’t pour from an empty cup and I don’t know about you… but I’m tired of learning that lesson the hard way!  In this episode I’ll cover the most common pitfalls I see Lashpreneurs making in their businesses (and lives) including things like: Discounting without a plan/purpose Haphazard social media “marketing” (if you can even call it that) Throwing money at ads without understanding how they work Follow for follow trains (for the love of God STOP IT!!!) “Litter” Marketing And a few others that are the most common crap marketing advice out there!

On this week’s episode I’m giving you a sneak peek of one of the episodes in my Super Secret 10-episode Team Building Podcast Series! In this sneak peek - I’m uncovering the salon and spa industry's most common and disastrous team building boo-boos. Brace yourselves, 'cause these missteps are all too common in our industry and some are illegal and MAJORLY COSTLY and BUSINESS BREAKING! From flaky (or non-existent) financial practices to hiring hiccups, it's a rollercoaster ride you'd rather not take. First, we exposed the “ruh roh’s” of failing to understand your business's financials. If the math ain't mathin' sis - you can't grow what you don't know! Then, we dive into hiring pitfalls, like favoring skills and experience over values and team culture fit…and I share the warm-body hiring mistake I see newbie employers focusing on which leads to a VERY people dependent (and unstable) business down the road. And don't forget about the dreaded "feelings-based decisions." As women, our emotions can be as unpredictable as a weather forecast and running a business and a team based on your mood of the day can spell trouble in attracting and retaining dream team players. If you're stuck in the treatment room and want to STOP trading your time for money, it's time to consider the other ways you can leverage your finite time and energy resources to maximize your business and income growth and this episode is going to have you avoiding all sorts of costly mistakes that rob you of precious time and profits!
