So here’s a little fact you may not know – during the 4.5 months I took off from The Lashpreneur – I was in talks with a company to sell The Lashpreneur to them.
Honestly – that was my hope when I decided to step away from The Lashpreneur as I just wasn’t sure I was ever going to come back to the business.
The process of evaluating the business and combing thru what the value is from an investor’s viewpoint was UNBELIEVABLY eye opening – and to be transparent with you – I can’t say that I would have ever returned as the Lashpreneur had I not gone through the discovery phase with another company in looking at what The Lashpreneur was and it’s potential thru the eyes of a third party.
It was through this month long journey of talking with Erin and Anjali of Lash Bee Pro about acquiring the Lashpreneur – that I really started to see both the potential and impact The Lashpreneur had made – as well as where some of the significant flaws were that caused me to walk away from it at the point in time.
If you’re reading this right now – you owe Erin and Anjali a big thank you because they saw that potential and impact at a time when I couldn’t and our talks helped me to see so much of what you all have experienced.
So now – you get the benefit of hearing me interview these two incredible women who founded Lash Bee Pro and how they were even in a position to be able to finance acquiring The Lashpreneur… and who I also credit for being the one’s who breathed life back into the Lashpreneur and me!
