Do you ever feel like you are competing with all the other stylists out there for clients, opportunities, or growth? If so, I’ve got good news for you. You’re NOT!

YOU get to write your own definition of success, so the only one you are competing with is YOU.

In this week’s episode of the Personal Stylist Podcast I’m sharing my own definition of success, 3 stories of stylists who got to rewrite their definition AND you’ll discover:

A common question I get is: Do you need to be certified to be a personal stylist?

Guess what? NOPE.

BUT if you want to be a standout stylist, the master of your craft, and give your clients the best transformations, then, like anything else, ongoing education is CRITICAL.

This week’s episode of The Personal Stylist Podcast is breaking this down for ya and giving a few tips on credentials vs. not, how they might affect you, and what you might have to inject more of into your brand - no matter if you have a certification/education in styling or not!

The TWO BIGGEST mistakes I see personal stylists make when it comes to their service offerings are:

On this episode of The Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m sharing the laundry list of services I created when I first started, AND exactly WHY this seemingly customer service oriented to services creates the exact OPPOSITE of what you want - decision paralysis and fewer returning clients.

What type of background do you need to be a personal stylist?

Hot take….

ANY BACKGROUND!

In today’s episode - I’m sharing why your background doesn’t matter as long as you have these TWO things.

A personal stylist ISN’T just someone who clocks 40 hours a week. A personal stylist ISN’T just someone who provides a VIP full service experience. A personal stylist ISN’T just a person who has a virtual course.

The definition of a stylist is someone who empowers someone else through clothes. If you do that - want to do that - you’re a stylist.

Tune in to this week’s episode to hear more about the podcast name rebrand, a coaching call with a personal stylist, and how to get access to a fun bonus exercise that will help you curate your own definition of what being a stylist means!

Do you want to use Insta to get more paying clients but you’re scared of being salesy? 🙋‍♀️ Here’s the thing. If you are using Instagram solely to make money, then you WILL come across as salesy and you’ll be that annoying person who’s always talking about their program this, their program that (anyone get those MLM messages? Mmmmm).  😵 

If you want to actually get clients from Instagram,  you’ll need to make these 3 shifts in how you create, share and show up on IG: 

1️⃣GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE - For every 2 times you mention your paid offerings or services, you should have 8 times where you’ve offered value or a fun tip or training. This is also known as the 80/20 rule. 

2️⃣ CULTIVATE COMMUNITY - Be a human! Use people’s  names, greet them, share your daily routine and have a POV - your vibe attracts your tribe so shout yours loud and clear and build that community. THESE are the people that will buy from you, not those that don’t like you. 

3️⃣SHOW YOUR WORK - Your Insta feed is for THEM not you. If you want clients, you GOTTA demonstrate what you do! The more you do this, the more you demonstrate that you’re a human, that you’re good at what you do, and that you’re worth hiring. That is selling yourself without even selling yourself. 🎉 How can you implement these 3 shifts today to start showing up and serving your clients? I promise you that when you give, interact, and show up, you’ll sell. 👇👇

Does creating Instagram content make you stressed AF?

😬😳

This week’s podcast gives you 3 strategies to make planning your social media content WAYYY easier!

🎤

After all - if you’ve introduced Social Media House Rules [podcast Episode 25], set up your own personal social media boundaries  [podcast Episode 26], then you’re all about working smarter, not harder. And that’s exactly what these 3 tips do [TODAY’s podcast!

1️⃣CREATE THEMES for your social content and set days for when you want to schedule/post.

2️⃣PLAN MONTH-LONG TOPICS - I LOVE creating content around a theme, and then carrying that theme into a month’s worth of social media.

3️⃣TIMEBLOCK + CHUNK IT - Once you’ve got your themes and/or topic, it’s time to sit down for one day, 3-4 hours at a time (maybe more!) and plan your entire month at one time in one go.

Ready to quit your Instagram addiction? This week’s podcast episode gives you 5 common tips to use as well as my PERSONAL social media boundaries that work like a charm. 🙋‍♀️

1️⃣USE A SCHEDULING TOOL -  to automatically schedule your posts. This reduces the time spent on the actual app tenfold!

2️⃣ RESPOND TO MESSAGES ON YOUR LAPTOP!  You’ll want to use what is less distracting for you here. I personally like using FB as it works a little better than through IG!

3️⃣USE (AND STICK TO!) SOCIAL MEDIA TIME LIMITS ON YOUR PHONE - I used to have an hour limit and that was just not enough for posting, engaging, and a little bit of catching up on accounts I wanted to see. Now, I have mine set to 2 hours and am working on increasing my integrity in sticking with that limit.

4️⃣CREATE A PERSONAL / OTHER ACCOUNT FULL OF INSPIRATION / EDUCATIONAL CONTENT - I have a personal, private account where I follow less than 200  accounts in interior design, food, spiritual or something else. These accounts NEVER inspire a sense of negative feeling - and if they start to, I delete. So often we don’t delete or unfollow on our business accounts for fear of what that person will think. Which leads me to….

5️⃣ UNFOLLOW AND MUTE - Guess what? This is YOUR account. If someone is mad that you unfollowed them, that’s truly something for them to deal with, not you. This is YOUR Instagram account! You literally get to do you! Tune in to this week’s podcast to find out MY personal rules around IG usage and the amazing results I’ve experienced in just 4 weeks of sticking to ‘em.

🙀

What social media rules do you apply to yourself to limit your exposure to the app? Do you use it like a tool, or a hobby?👇👇
