Girl CEO

From Midlife Crisis To Million Dollar Brand Pt. 2


Listen Later

Get out your notebook because smart advice comes fast and furious on this episode of The Girl CEO Podcast. Host Ronne Brown welcomes beauty influencer and educator Kay Lynn, who is sharing her journey from being a single mom with “zero clients, zero dollars” to leading a seven-figure luxury hair extension business that is changing lives. Her #1 online teaching platform @KerriAlstonHair offers not only education and mastery but also a community for entrepreneurial women looking to grow their beauty ventures. Has getting to this point been easy? Of course not. But as these two dynamic women remind us, it’s a process! You’ll come away with important advice related to relationships (self-love comes first!), building out a business (don’t rush it!), setting expectations and creating a network of support to get you through the inevitable bumps and bruises. There’s no use being “thirsty for a relationship or companionship when really we just have to learn to be content with ourselves,” says Kay, whose meaningful (profitable!) life is grounded in a hard-won sense of self-worth that she has also modelled for her kids. Are you ready to let old assumptions go and clear the way for something better? This episode is full of actionable strategies to change your mindset, grow your brand and watch your new vision take flight!

• “I never regret any of my experiences because I always come out on top by learning something.” (Kay)

 

• “When you’re looking for somebody, you’re going to be so … thirsty for a relationship or companionship when really we just have to learn to be content with ourselves. And just be patient, because you don’t want someone that’s not for you.” (Kay)

• “Give (your business) all that you have and then I promise it gets easier because it starts to work on your behalf.” (Kay)
