In this week's episode Lauren shares her Top 5 Hard Truths About Business, and what it really takes to succeed in the super competitive Beauty Industry of 2024 (and beyond).

Lauren's Top 5 Hard Truths About Business.

1. If you're not prepared to take risks, your business simply won't grow beyond that level that you're at now. (Risk 1 - Delegation and Letting Go of Control. Risk 2 - Investing in Yourself and Your Business/Team).
2. Success Doesn't Happen Overnight!
3. If you're booked-out for a least a month in advance, you need to Put Your Prices Up.
4. Consistency and Hard Work is Key. (Success will take longer than you think it should, but if you just keep showing up and doing the little things well, it will eventually pay off in big ways).
5. Your Lack of Clients or Lack of Income (or Profit) is Your Doing.

In this week's episode Lauren discusses multiple ways to repurpose your existing Social Media Content into fresh content pieces for your Socials. Lauren uses all of these methods to repurpose her own Social Media Content on her accounts - so this isn't theory, it's tried and true.

1. Do a deep-dive into your Insights on Instagram (or whatever analytics you have access to on your Social Media channel of choice) and make a list of high performing content pieces from 30-90 days ago. (Highlight pieces that people have saved).
2. You CAN repost exactly the same content with little or even no tweaks to the images, videos and caption. (Try tweaking something simple like adding a different song to the post, or adding more eye-catching closed captions).
3. You can use segments/sections from longer captions and blog posts that you've already created in the past and you can create a Carousel relating just to the subject of that section of text.
4. You can repurpose any static feed post (image or video) into a Reel. (Integrating these posts with fresh B-roll footage from your Camera Roll is a great way to blend existing posts with footage you have in your phone into new content ideas).
5. Turn high performing Reels into Static Posts, Carousels and Stories.
6. Show Up On Stories!
7. Break up Carousels into Story Sets.
8. Keep in mind, the bigger your Content Bank the more chance there is that you have lots of great content that could be tweaked, updated and reposted.
9. Use AI (like chatGPT) to help expand upon your existing text posts, captions and blog posts, and also to create new text content from your existing pieces.

In this week's episode Lauren steps you through the process of finding both the margin in your business (and the necessary trust in your Team) to start working more on your business, and less in your business.

The First Steps to Working More on Your Business, and Less In It.

1. Handing off some of your Clients to your Team. (This is a gradual process, it simply can't be rushed or you might inadvertently create more work for yourself).
2. Stop People Pleasing. (Establish your boundaries, and hold fast to them).
3. Stop Promoting Yourself, and Start Promoting Your Team.
4. Let Go of Control. (If you can't give your Team the time, attention and trust they need to grow as Professionals, your business in-turn will not grow to its full potential).
