Beauty Disruptors

Welcome back to another episode of the Beauty Expanded Podcast! It’s been a while, and I’m so excited to fill you in on what’s been happening behind the scenes.

Today we're talking about something that might surprise you - why social media might not be the best way to grow your business. I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but hear me out.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

• Why I've been pulling back from social media lately
• Why Google ads might be more effective for our industry than social media
• The importance of making sure your online presence matches your brand

I'm also sharing some real numbers from my own experience, like how we spend about $1000 a month on advertising and how that compares to the cost of our services. I'll explain why I think it's worth the investment.

Remember, this is based on my experience, and it's all about finding what works for your specific business.

Do you still find yourself thinking about getting into this industry at least once a week? Are you researching the internet endlessly at night? Feeling overwhelmed, unsure or even scared - not knowing if you could really make a career out of this?

Then…THIS episode is for you!

Before you take a huge leap in faith, ask yourself these 5 powerful questions, first.

In the past 6 years, I’ve had the opportunity to train, mentor and coach new artists like you with zero tattooing and entrepreneurial experience, and have seen them grow wildly successful and fulfilling careers in the paramedical tattoo space.

I believe these 5 questions, when answered honestly, can truly set you up to be a successful technician and business owner: 

1. Are you 100% comfortable with nudity and physical touch? This industry requires a high level of intimacy with clients.

2. Do you truly have a passion for helping people? Paramedical tattooing is about so much more than just the technical skills.

3. Are you coachable and eager to constantly learn? This field is ever-evolving, and you need to be adaptable.

4. Can you take full accountability when things don't go as planned? You'll face challenges, and you need to be able to own them.

5. Are you willing to put yourself out there and overcome the fear of judgment? Stepping into this niche takes courage.

By the end of this episode, you'll have a crystal clear sense of whether you've got what it takes to not just survive, but thrive, as a paramedical tattoo entrepreneur. Believe me, I've seen so much talent get discouraged and give up because they simply weren't prepared.

I don't want that to happen to you. My goal is to save you from investing time and money into training, only to realize this career path isn't the right fit. Instead, you can use this episode to get laser-focused on whether you have the mindset, skills, and unshakable passion to make it in this industry.

Trust me, if you do, the rewards are unlike anything else. This career has the power to transform lives in the most profound way. 

It changed my life in so many ways, and I'm confident it can do the same for you. Tune in to the full episode now to see if you've got what it takes to be a successful paramedical tattoo artist and change lives!

Things We Cover:

Welcome back to another episode of the Beauty Expanded Podcast. Today, we're diving into the powerful connection between valuing your time, self-worth, and success in your business. Get ready because this one's going to hit deep.

Lately, I've been in a bit of a funk when it comes to social media. You know how it goes—one minute you're just mindlessly scrolling, and the next you're trapped in the vortex, jumping from trend to trend, feeling like you just can't keep up anymore.

But then I tuned into this podcast from one of my mentors, and it was exactly what my soul needed to hear! He said something that resonated deeply—highly successful people tend to do things differently than the mainstream and so it was a great reminder to not feel obligated to follow trends and be a “follower” but a pioneer.

I also share a little story about pancakes (yes, really!) that perfectly illustrates how prioritizing myself is leading to a life filled with freedom and joy. And hey, if you have your own "pancake story" about prioritizing yourself, I'd love to hear it!

In this episode, I answer a question submitted by a listener named Maria from @inkedbyflawless.ego on Instagram who asked, what artists should do when a client comes in with a botched camouflage tattoo. This is an important issue to discuss as more and more people get into camouflage tattooing without proper training and inevitably mistakes happen.

Key Takeaways:

• Evaluate if modifications are possible or if referral to non-laser removal is best
• Research artist integrity and training thoroughly beforehand
• Don't automatically choose the cheapest or fastest option

My closing piece of wisdom is that while no industry is perfect, we must direct our energy toward supporting the ethical side - the trainers and artists who are helping clients and students for the right reasons. 

Here's a series of videos on YouTube specifically geared towards people interested in becoming a paramedical tattoo artist.

As humans, we crave that real, authentic interaction. And guess what? Your voice is like a window to your soul. It tells people who you are and whether they can trust you. 

In today's episode, we have a special guest, Tracy Goodwin, the founder of Captivate the Room and a voice coach. Tracy teaches people how to transform their lives and captivate their listeners with their voice. She uses a unique approach called the Psychology of the Voice to uncover the root issues that hold people back from sounding like an expert and authority in their field. 

Often, we wear masks to shield ourselves from vulnerability. While understandable, these masks inadvertently create barriers, hindering connection. Tracy emphasizes the importance of shedding these masks and embracing your authentic voice.

Don't miss Tracy's last free live training of the year on December 19th at 2 PM EDT. Learn more about the psychology of voice and how to use it to connect with your audience and increase sales.

In this episode, I wanted to share my coolest experience at this spoon-bending workshop I recently did during a business mentorship program I attended. I know it sounds weird, but just listen and I promise you’re gonna be intrigued by how this workshop served as the ultimate metaphor for bending reality and overcoming limitations.

So we were guided through this meditation where we tapped into the power of energy and intention. And you guys, I actually bent a solid metal spoon as if it was rubber! My mind is still blown that I was able to physically bend my reality.

While spoon bending may seem fringe, I share how this experience revealed so much about my self-limitations and ability to create what I want. Our thoughts and stories shape our results more than we realize. My hope is that my spoon-bending experience motivates you to question your own beliefs about what’s possible!
