Although the lash industry is booming and doing better than ever, many lash artists are wracked with fear that the industry is stamped with an expiration date.

It's no secret that we're due to a recession in the US. A recession occurs every ten years, and the last one started in 2008. So, naturally, a lot of us are biting our nails in anticipation for the next one to strike. Plus, we're starting to see signs of the economy going south, so it's no surprise that this topic of recession is becoming more apparent in our forums, conferences, and anywhere two or more lash artists gather.

I have no doubts that a recession will have an impact on our industry. After all, our service is not a commodity like gas or milk. It's a luxury service. But instead of packing it in and calling it quits, I advise that you start preparing now so that when the recession raises its ugly head, you're more than ready for it.

In my latest blog post, I talk about how you can prepare for the looming recession by trying not to worry about the things that you can't control and start focusing on the parts of your life that you CAN control!

Find out about:

• Will the lash industry survive a recession?
