Imagine you wake up in the morning and enjoy your favorite cup of coffee. You take your time getting ready for the day by either doing your hair and makeup or spending a little extra time with your family. You planned your schedule just right to avoid the rush hour commute. Those poor souls stuck in traffic to go sit in a cubicle, you get to spend all day in this totally serene and zen-like space that you’ve worked so diligently to create and listen to music that soothes your soul, talk with people who inspire and excite you, and enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.

Once you arrive at “work”, you check your schedule for the day and you are giddy with excitement as you see your schedule is full for the day (including an hour lunch!). You have 3 touch up clients who you can’t wait to catch up with and you see there’s a new full set client, “Erica", who is a referral from “Jill” who is your absolute FAVORITE client and is always sending you the most amazing referrals. Erica has been waiting for weeks for you to be available because she's obsessed with Jill’s lashes and refused to go anywhere else but to  you. The day has finally come that she gets to wear your lash work!

You look at your schedule for the upcoming week and notice a client has rescheduled their Saturday touch up appointment online leaving you with one opening. Your waitlist is 2 gals deep and sure enough, “Nicole" jumped at the chance to fill that spot. Your services are in high demand and you’ve created boundaries in place for your business that you know exactly how much you’ll be making this week. This knowledge leaves you filled with joy because you have a vacation planned next month and this week’s income is the final cash you need to fully fund that trip.

You finish your day of lashing to sit down to catch up on a couple of to-do’s and then you jet out the door for the day to meet up with that hot date of yours. You’re not stressed and overworked. You’re not a hurricane of emotion and insecurity. You are confident about your business. You are secure in your path and where your life is heading. You are free to choose how and what your life looks like.

This paints a beautiful picture doesn’t it? I’m not here to sell you on this picture, I’m here to show you that this is my life. I assure you this wasn’t always my life. I’m a recovering overworked, anxious, hot mess of a hurricane. I have learned the hard way and I was the chronic work harder not smarter type of Lashpreneur. What I would’ve done to cut the learning curve and time down to get to where I am today!?! You know what I did in the trenches of self doubt and fear…I asked for help. I sought guidance, support, and the tools to grow my business from someone who was where I wanted to be. I pursued knowledge and education to create a business that worked for me (and not me for it). I still, to this day, receive mentoring and coaching for various aspects of my life and career goals. I am here to tell you that the impact and  importance of having a mentor and coach is invaluable to taking your dreams and aspirations and making them an actual step by step plan to reality. NO. MORE. GUESSING!

If any of this sounds like you, or even sparks your interest, and you are absolutely committed to making your lash business goals a reality, then trust that little voice inside that’s telling you that this is what you’ve been looking for. Know that it’s normal for it to feel scary or intimidating. Know that there’s no pressure or obligation to do anything but fill out the Coaching Application and see what possibilities could come from stepping up and raising your hand. Saying “I’m in.” Saying “I want more. I want better.”
