When change scares you, that is typically a sign of growth.

A lot of beauty business owners will get to the point in their careers where they have all of the clients they wanted, are booked out months in advance the way they wanted, but they're not making the money they wanted. They're stressed out and all signs point to needing to hire more people for their team.

But that's scary, right? Because you're at the point you wanted to reach, you're in a place where you're comfortable, but suddenly there's a change in front of you that's scary. But that fear is typically a sign of growth. And if you want to make more money in your business then you have to grow and if you want to grow you have to do the uncomfortable things. Like I say, you have to do it scared. That's how I did it. 

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [02:05]  This is the problem with being overbooked. It can feel good to say - but it's actually a SIGN...

Saying you CAN'T do something is just another way that FEAR and COMFORT hold you back from achieving your goals. 

In this episode, I have the controversial Kim Constable AKA The Sculpted Vegan AKA The Million Dollar Mentor. Not only is she helping people build the bodies of their dreams, but she's also helping them make their millions. If anyone exemplifies the Pretty Rich mindset - it's her.

And she's not mincing her words in this podcast. If you're not achieving your goals - truth is that you're probably the MAIN thing holding you back. Are you really ready to level up and GROW your business? Then listen up richies.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [17:14]  We start off the conversation with some rapid-fire questions to warm us up.

‣‣  [25:14]  It's easy to see someone as successful as Kim on Instagram and think "ugh she has EVERYTHING! She has everything figured out!" So I want to know what is challenging her...

You might be letting the idea of "patience is a virtue" keep you from reaching your fullest potential faster. 

It might not seem like it - but your patience can really hold you back. It's probably keeping you safe. It's probably actually STOPPING you from taking ACTION and making your dreams a REALITY. Like, you could taste success today - but if you're letting patience and plans slow you down you might not feel that success for YEARS.

I know that it can be hard to tell the difference between smart planning and comfortable planning. In this episode I'm going to sit down with you and share some hard truths so that you can really be critical of yourself and where you are with your beauty business and figure out whether or not you're just using patience as an excuse.

I guarantee this episode is going to be a real kick in the butt for you. No matter where you are with your beauty business - this will motivate you to push yourself even further towards success....

Did you put yourself and your dreams on hold for this?

I know, that might be bold. But I know that after this episode you will be inspired and motivated to get your butt in gear and START THAT BUSINESS. Why? Because I brought on my good friend Jackie Nguyen who started a mobile coffee shop all during the pandemic.

She's doing it and she's killing it and she's sharing all of it on social media, so you should definitely check her out for more motivation. But seriously, you don't need to put your dreams on hold forever. Yes, things will be hard, but you can't let the hard stuff stop you. I can help you! We can make your dreams come true. All of that power is in your hands you just have to take it and make something with it.

Are you ready? Let's do this.

Beauty marketing and Gentlemen's Clubs - what do they have in common?

Um. A lot actually.

Have you ever seen the movie Hustlers? Those girls are WORKING for their money. It's not just about looking pretty. It's about strategy. It's about, you guess it, marketing!

For this episode, I brought on one of my good friends and sales advisors, Victoria Racca, who just so happened to be a dancer at a gentlemen's club for three years before she got into PMU. We talk all about strip clubs, sugar babies, marketing and sales strategies, and all of the advice you need to succeed in the beauty industry. 

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [05:15]  First of all, my theory is that marketing and sales are just like The Bachelor. Yeah?

‣‣  [07:07]  Here, I ask Victoria to take us back a bit and tell us about her life before she got into PMU.

‣‣  [09:59]  Victoria never hid the fact that she worked as a dancer but did struggle to find...

IF YOU'RE NOT USING IG STORIES FOR YOU BUSINESS THEN YOU ARE MISSING A KEY ELEMENT TO SUCCESS.

Listen up, beauty boss! I have built a successful multi-six-figure business through Instagram alone EVEN through quarantine. Yes, you heard me right. Even through this global pandemic and crisis economy, my Instagram stories have sold. 

I had my doubts when they first introduced the story feature too but trust me, sister friend, you want to hop on your IG stories RIGHT NOW if you haven't already.

‣‣  [06:23]  Here's my first tip: organize an IG takeover.

‣‣ ...

Are you one of those salons that is BOOKED OUT for MONTHS? That's a problem.

Yeah, sister friend, let me break it to ya. If you are constantly booked out then that is a sign that something is WRONG not that your business is doing good. I know how it looks - you have so many people interested in your services that you can't even get them all in at once - that's good right?

NO.

But don't fear - I'm going to tell you EXACTLY why that's not good for business and how you can FIX the problem. Just listen to this episode and I will spill all the tea. Let's go!

‣‣  [07:34]  How is being booked out for months bad? Well, it's losing you money. Yeah.

‣‣  [09:17]  Your loyal clients will wait for you though, right? They wouldn't leave you for another stylist if your waitlist was too long...right?

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE - GET OUT OF HERE.

If being a millionaire is your dream - then we'll get you there.

I am a firm believer that if you really truly want to be a millionaire then you will be. Why? Because I've seen it happen time and time again. Those who truly want it get it.

So if you really want to be a millionaire then this episode is for you. I'm going to tell you my story, how I built my own seven-figure business with NO degree and NO sugar daddy, and how you can too. Because I believe it and you should too! Let's go sister.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [07:47]  I want to start by sharing this embarrassing story with you because it shows just how unconfident I was and how unsure I was in my own ability to succeed, which might be somewhere similar to where you are right now.

‣‣  [10:45]  What are the beliefs that are holding YOU back from believing you can be a millionaire?

‣‣  [11:41] ...

If you could know what to expect in building your beauty business, wouldn't you want to know, like, yesterday?

In today's episode, I talk with the revolutionary Kristina Melnicenco about what it takes to be an entrepreneur (and what we both might've done differently to get to where we are today).

There are so many good things to hear from this episode of the Pretty Rich Podcast. Kristina and I are both immigrant boss babes who had to learn English after coming to the U.S., which definitely didn't make the entrepreneur game easier. It definitely didn't count us out.

We both learned, as we talk about in the podcast, that if you are driven and you work hard, the world can literally be yours. And if that's not the case, you can literally build your own world (a.k.a. your own business)!

Kristina gives amazing advice on asking questions to know where to need to go.

She also talks about being so driven to the point where you don't let...

Are you trying to get somewhere in your beauty business, become the best parent you can be, or improve your relationships with the people around you, and you're just OVERWHELMED with the advice out there? Does it sometimes seem like it's TOO MUCH? 

I have your back, sister friend. Okay? I'm here to grant you complete and total permission to stop listening to all of that advice.

Yup, just shut it all down. I know that can seem scary. How do you succeed in anything without the advice of others? Trust me, you know what to do deep inside of you. You have what it takes to build meaningful relationships, be a good parent, and grow a bomb beauty business. If all you've been doing is looking for other people's advice and absorbing it and absorbing it and absorbing it and then searching out more advice and absorbing it and absorbing it - well, you've got a lot going on in that head of yours. And it can be overwhelming. But you have instincts that will guide you.
