We were invited this last summer to meet Sheila Bella at her PMU office in North Hollywood and talk shop. We have been friends for a while online, but we had never had to chance to hang out and really connect with her until now. In this episode, we talk about the struggles of running a beauty business, training your competition, who not to hire when you are interviewing potential staff, and our favorite part of our conversation was when we talked about the power of believing in others and how that gift can change people's lives. If you own a beauty business or are thinking about hiring in the future, you will find this episode to be very encouraging and helpful. If you are not already following Sheila on IG @realsheilabella or following her Pretty Rich Podcast you need to stop right now and do that. Sheila is one of the bright lights in our industry empowering women to achieve their goals and dreams. Aside from running a 7 figure PMU business, she coaches other beauty business owners, speaks at conferences and is hosting her first-ever PMU conference: Pretty Ambitious Summit. While Shiela's focus is on the PMU universe, the truths she passes out are useful for any woman no matter what business they are in. We hope you enjoy this episode and please leave us feedback or DM us at @lashcastpodcast to let us know what you learned or if you enjoyed the episode.
