Thriving Stylist Podcast

We all have to deal with emotional feelings around money that are setting us back in business, whether you realize it or not. Today I am talking about structural shifts around money, and taking you through the 7 top mistakes that stylists and salon owners are making today!

It blows my mind to hear some of the big myths that exist today with social media, and the mistakes I see entrepreneurs making online because of them. Today I’m going to be sharing the 7 biggest myths and mistakes I see (plus a bonus one or two!), and I’ll explain how you can avoid them in order to use online platforms to build and grow your business.

In your professional and personal life, you’ve most likely faced judgment from others. Would you like to be more confident and empowered in these situations?
