Hey Lashpreneurs! This week on the podcast, I invited Coach Victoria back where we discussed all things scaling a business from $100,000 to multiple 6 and 7 figures!

Hey Lashpreneurs! We're back again with another returning guest - Ashley Higgins, member of our Society Xcelerator program!  This time, Ashley dives into why she saw hiring a team as the next crucial step for her business. She opens up about feeling burnt out and lacking support, and how our program and having a team have been instrumental in her progress. She even touched on her deep emotional connection with her clients. It was such a great conversation that it actually led to a quick live coaching session with her!  If you feel inspired by Ashley’s story and you're planning to hire soon, I'd love for you to join me inside my FREE "Build A Team, Live Your Dream" Masterclass! It's happening on the week of May 13th, with three classes to choose from.  Registration is now open at thelashpreneur.com/buildateam. See you in class!  

In this episode, I had an eye-opening conversation with Lauren Isaako, one of our members inside Society Xcelerator program, where she shared her journey of growth and self-discovery. You might remember her from a previous episode, but this time around, she's got a whole new story to share that will surely inspire you! From overcoming her perfectionism to building a thriving team - Lauren became emotional reflecting on her past, particularly her first appearance on the podcast, and how much has changed since then. But hey, she made it through all those hurdles!

In today's episode, we're joined by Natalie Wallen one of our Momentum Mastermind members and who has been in this industry for about 18 years already! I’m so happy to have her here to share with you how she has been crushing it as she's implemented the strategies and processes we teach in Society Xcelerator and in the Momentum Mastermind while hiring her new team member. She can clearly see the difference between her new hire and the other team members.

Hey Lashpreneurs! This week's episode is something special — I'm sharing a glimpse into one of our coaching sessions within the Society Xcelerator. And if you aren’t familiar yet, this program is where we teach our members how to hire legally and profitably. In this specific coaching call, we went through a mindset shift around fears associated with hiring. It's a topic that's incredibly relevant both when it comes to building your team and in running your business overall, and so I'd like to share this with you!! I'm sooo excited to share this transformative conversation that’s all about addressing fears, shifting mindsets, and empowering you to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship with confidence. And in this program, we're all about getting intentional with our decisions by diving deep into our financials and understanding the data behind our businesses. Because let's face it, we're not moving forward with just emotions — we're using the data to drive our success.

Are you thinking about expanding your team or hiring your first team member but not sure where to start? Well, you're in luck! This episode's here to guide you through the hiring maze with ease.

In episode 2 of Lessons of a Lashpreneur I shared with you about how lash artists are killing their chances with the Instagram algorithm by prioritizing popularity over profitability. This is not how you should be utilizing social media for your business. You need to prioritize profitability over popularity.  You are using social media marketing in a way that's actually making it harder for you to get clients finding them on social media If you are constantly concerned about your number of followers more than the quality of your posts – then you have got things backwards. So I wanted to bring back an episode from 2019 that I've referenced at least 10+ times in the last few weeks that some of you may never have heard so you can start to really understand how to start attracting actual clients to your business using Instagram.   In this week’s episode I’m going to talk to you about: What big mistakes you are making in your social media marketing How to maximize your exposure and your effort And, how to ge

Hey lashpreneurs!

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. I challenge you to start to look at your business through the lens of processes to regain time freedom, get some mental bandwidth back so you’re not having to re-invent the wheel every single service, and start to create a well-oiled machine for YOUR business.  SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

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 unpredict
