    Why make your own mistakes when you can learn from two solopreneurs on your journey to six figures?

Non-existent self-care? Crazy barnacle clients? We’ve been there and lived to tell the tale. Everyone wants an overnight success, but the reality is that being an entrepreneur boils down to lessons learned and being persistent AF. Real talk. Real stories. Real solutions to get estheticians, beauty professionals, and sole proprietors to six figures and beyond without burning out.

  • Dealing With Overwhelm: When Doing Nothing is Productive

    Sometimes the best thing to do when overwhelm strikes is to give yourself permission to do nothing. On this episode of Skinfessional we take our time exploring #quarantinelife and the overwhelm we are feeling surrounding the coronavirus and how covid-19 is effecting our businesses and lives. From too much internet traffic and options for new classes to take to not knowing how to handle our landlords, taxes, and our clients - eating a bunch of cookie dough and watching Tiger King sounds like a good plan but are we allowed? We talk about all this and how we really could use a new catchphrase...

  • How To Say No And Set Boundaries With Clients

    Learn how to say no, set boundaries, and the super secret ninja use of redirection to never even have to use the word no...while still getting the point of "No" across. In this episode of Skinfessional we talk about what it's like to set up boundaries, how you can talk to your client about your needs, and all the different ways to say no when dealing with "user" clients. This episode was pre-recorded before the pandemic and quarantine but we found it to be extra relevant now as many of us transition to new phases of business. Setting client expectation is key.
