If you've listened to the news or read articles online recently, you know that a potential upcoming recession is a big topic of conversation. As a small business owner, this can be a scary topic and bring up feelings of fear and nervousness. In today's episode, I talk about 4 ways to strengthen your lash or beauty business to continue to thrive and grow regardless of the state of the economy. Ensuring that your business has a strong foundation is so important if you want to have a full-time, thriving, career and business in the beauty industry.


My intent with this episode is two-fold:
1. To help you feel more confident and prepared moving forward with all the recession talk happening.
2. To help you be able to lead and make decisions in your business from a mindset of abundance, confidence, and growth instead of fear based decision making and leadership.


If this episode resonated with you or was helpful at all, I'd love for you to take a screenshot of it, share it on your IG stories, and tag me @xoericaschramm so that we can reach more solo beauty business owners with it! And of course, if we aren't already friends on IG, you can follow me here :)

63. Spilling the Tea about Lash Biz Babes Online Conference

In this week's episode, you get to hear from one of my favorite people in our industry, Miss Jazzy!!! Today she shares her story of following her dreams to go into the beauty industry, how she transitioned from managing a franchise studio to going out on her own, what advice she would give you if you're wanting to do the same, how to keep moving forward when things get hard, and more! 


Her successful transition into going solo is a real life example of what can happen when you go all in, work hard, invest in your education and growth, and keep believing in yourself no matter what.


It brings up this question: What can happen for you if you had 6 months of self-discipline and sticking to your goals no matter what? A lot can happen with just one decision!
