Timestamps

0:24-9:10

Katie starts by answering the first question she has from a business owner who wants to know if taking a break from their business to reset themselves is a good idea. Explaining the complexities involved in taking complete switch-off breaks as an entrepreneur, Katie touches upon many aspects of the entrepreneurial life, why it is not meant for everyone, and the recommended way of taking breaks from your business. She also shares her personal experience being an entrepreneur and how she manages her business and personal life without switching off her business completely when she has other things to prioritise. 


9:30-13:38

Amy and Katie discuss how as an entrepreneur you can create freedom in your business in multiple ways such as empowering your team and having enough confidence in them to be assured that they can takeover when you are away. They also talk about the issue of burnout that many beauty salon owners face and what can be done to deal with it effectively. 


Key takeaways

#1 Entrepreneurial grind 

As a business owner, you need to understand that this is a profession that will require you to give your 100%. Even during vacations and holidays, the hustle will continue and there will still be things you need to take care of. This is why it’s so important that you whole-heartedly choose this profession and are prepared to deal with the challenges that are bound to come your way, and not just because you see other people doing it or for the sake of making money. Always remember that success in entrepreneurship goes beyond the financial rewards and making this choice solely based on external perceptions can lead to frustration and burnout.


#2 Building a strong team

As an entrepreneur, it is important for you to train your staff and empower them. A strong team will help you create a better work-life balance for yourself and will improve the quality of the service you are offering as well. 


Key Quotes

“When you are an entrepreneur, business owner, beauty salon owner, whatever that looks like for you, but you are working for yourself in some shape and form, you can't take a break, as in like fully switch off.”

“If you want to build a business, you can't be like I'm building, I'm stopping, I'm building, I'm stopping.”
