How many times have you heard about people leaving their high-paying jobs, to build a business empire that doesn't have much to do with their education or work experience? I'm sure the answer is not many but some people like our guest for today Melody McCloskey have. 

From being a product manager to the founder of a successful business StyleSeat, this superwoman is living proof that trusting your abilities can help you achieve wonderful things.

Key takeaways

#1 Transformation in the beauty industry 

15 years ago, beauty standards were like the cover of Vogue magazine, if you didn't fit in the skinny white girl type, you didn't fit in at all but now beauty standards are so much more inclusive now which does not only affect us at an individual level but also as professionals in the beauty industry. There is now much more scope to express your natural creativity, therefore, right now is the golden opportunity to join the beauty industry if you are passionate about it. 

#2 Effective failure management

Failure sound intimidating to you? As an entrepreneur, it shouldn't. If you want to build a business that lasts, get comfortable with experiencing failures. Accept the situation, adapt, and use it as a valuable learning opportunity.
