Hey, hey! If you're feeling overwhelmed trying to juggle it all, then honey, this episode is for YOU. We're diving deep into something that could seriously change the game for your beauty biz—building a team! If you’re wondering how to level up without running yourself into the ground, I’ve got you covered.

But first, let me give you a little personal update. After eight YEARS, I finally said “bye-bye” to my eyelash extensions. Yep, you heard me right. I used to think I needed them to feel beautiful, but over the past few months, I’ve been making some BIG mindset shifts. It's been so freeing to let go of that belief and focus on what truly matters to me—things like traveling, investing, and actually having more time for self-care. If you’ve ever felt the need to align your life with your core values, then trust me, I totally get it.

Here’s what you can expect in today’s episode:

• If you want to take your biz from side hustle to full-on empire, building a solid team is a must. I’m showing you how it’s the key to scaling without burning out.
• Stop winging it and start thinking long-term. We’ll talk about how to figure out the exact roles your business needs and hire with purpose.
• A killer onboarding process is EVERYTHING. I’m sharing the deets on how to set the right tone with clear expectations and employee handbooks so your team thrives from day one.
• I’m giving you practical tips on how to write job descriptions that get noticed, screen candidates like a pro, and ask the right interview questions to find the perfect fit for your brand.
• Creating a positive work culture doesn’t have to be hard. Regular check-ins, support, and growth opportunities are your secret sauce for retention.
• Let’s be real—promoting the wrong person or skipping training can be a total mess. I’m giving you the lowdown on how to handle these situations without losing your cool.

Here are your key takeaways: First, plan for the long haul. It’s crucial to know your goals and create a clear hiring strategy so that you can avoid burnout or financial strain. Second, remember that leadership is EVERYTHING. Your team will reflect the culture you create, so it’s essential to lead by example and set the tone for your business. Finally, get your numbers right. Understanding your financials is key, and you can use my free Business Break-Even Analysis Spreadsheet to map out your finances and budget effectively for growth.

That’s a wrap for today’s episode, y’all! I hope this gives you the clarity and confidence to take the next step in growing your beauty business. Thanks so much for tuning in, and I’ll catch you in the next one!
