Spend some time with your host, Shannon the SugarMama where she dives into the mental side of being a sugaring professional.  In this episode, she guides you through understanding that once you shut that treatment room door, sugaring is more than just your technique it encompasses all of the senses for your clients.  Clients tend to open up and dump their emotions into the room...and YOU need to know how to not absorb those emotions.

Shannon helps you to understand how to create not only a safe and calm space for your clients...but for YOUR mental state as well.  The senses matter to US!!!

Take this time to stop and start your day of service with some calming breaths...to take your vibration from all around the room to focus on you.

When you can center your thoughts and focus on what is in front of you, you can fully be present for your clients and your business.

In between clients, it will benefit you SO MUCH MORE to take a moment to ground EVERY TIME.  A few moments will change the entire pace of your day.

You will feel better.

Your clients will FEEL you feel better and grounded.

Anything your clients need, facial, sugar, lashes...YOU are going to be calm, focused, and positive and will get it in return.

For those who have taken the time to listen to this podcast, I have created an audio recording for you to download...to reset yourself before you invite your next client into your room.  Before you dust on that powder, put on that nitrile glove, or slide that sugar out of the jar…

This gift is for you...and will directly benefit not only those around you...but I promise you will see a shift in your business success as well.

Now that you have (or your business has) decided how to categorize yourself as an employee or an independent contractor, its time to get PAID!

In Part Two of this Series, Kenesha and Shannon explore how to make sure you get paid properly depending on your business.  Working smarter to be strong and sweet in 2021!!

1. What is an Independent Contractor or Self-Employed Beauty Professional?
   1. You are the business owner
   2. May receive Form 1099 from salon/spa owner or you are receiving monies from your clients and accounting for it yourself
   3. Responsible for paying and remitting all taxes - federal and state income and payroll taxes
2. How you should pay yourself depends on how the business is structured:
   1.  Sole Proprietorship/SMLLC/General Partnership/MMLLC: 
      1. take an owner’s draw from your business banking account. 
         1. Best if done at regular intervals and amounts
         2. Best if transfer in electronic
      2. Still responsible for all taxes
      3. Misconception: If you don’t take an owner’s draw you will not be taxes
         1. All Net Income is subject to tax, so pay yourself what you want 
   2. Corporations: 
      1. Owners are put on payroll and paid a “reasonable wage”
      2. Corporation withholds federal and state income and payroll taxes
      3. Corporation pays half of payroll taxes
      4. Will receive a Form W-2 at the end of the year
