Have you noticed that it seems like the typical “LASH ARTIST CAREER PATH” is:
Step 1: Work for someone else – realize they have no idea how to run a business and think you can do it better
Step 2: Open up your own business only to realize you have no idea on how to run a business and you panic
Step 3: Hustle your a$$ off to build a clientele and become fully booked only to then realize that you can’t make any more money cause you have zero time to get new clients in
Step 4: Start the search to hire a team who can take on your excess clients so you can start to make more money and hopefully, 🤞🏻someday🤞🏻, get your time back
This is the “dream” for MOST lash artists. Yet – MOST lash artists have zero idea what it takes to make steps 3 and 4 work and become SUCCESSFUL to get to the desired results.
Those desired results are… More Time and More Money.
But the reality is with building out a team in your beauty business – more time and more money doesn’t happen for months if not years for the owner because the learning curves are incredibly expensive when done incorrectly AND in most cases of those that build out a team without guidance – it means less time and less money in the owner’s personal life to set a team up for long term success.
Look – building out a team can be VERY rewarding and VERY profitable when done correctly – hence why the “dream” is there… however you have to WANT your TEAM’S SUCCESS more than your own and to foster a culture and environment for the TEAM TO THRIVE – and if you’re building a team out just for the money…
Let me tell you there are SO MANY OTHER WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR REVENUE WITHOUT THE OVERHEAD AND EXPENSE OF A TEAM!
My VIP Coaching Client is proof of just that! On this week’s episode, my guest is Claudia Sternquist who has built out a beauty financial coaching business over the last year while also working as a lash artist. She took her love of finances and budgeting to start coaching others on how to master their personal and business finances. Her business is called Your Beauty Financial Friend or your BFF – how cute is that?!?! And she shares what her journey has been like in working with me to build out her next level business after having major success in her lash business.
So if you’re interested in what possibilities may be next for you beyond being a lash artist – then you’ll definitely want to pay close attention to Claudia’s story!
