it's time to get down to business.

let me tell ya how i did it.

my story...

I’ve been in the hair industry for 17 years. Yes, I was 5 when I started. I live in Jupiter, Florida with my husband, two girls, and puppy Leia. I 100% believe that coffee is a food group, and laughter is the best medicine. I didn’t go to a fancy hair school and for the major part of my career I was successful by just being down right scrappy. Until one day, I realized I had developed a few SUPER powers. Those super powers are what have helped me build multiple 6 figure businesses behind the chair and open a salon that has been profitable from day one. That’s why I’m here to share my simple but FREAKING effective methods with you!

a stylist, salon owner, biz educator and coffee addict.

Hey!

I could take all of the scrappy ways I had come up with to build my business and reinvent myself in Florida.  I could build a killer clientele again, but this time working smarter and not harder.  I could 10x my business income without having to work more hours just by really zoning in on who I wanted to serve and how to serve them well!
That's what brings us here.  I know what it's like to not even know what to do to take the next step.  I know what it's like to almost dread going into work because it just feels too hard!  I have literally dissected everything that I have spent the past 17 years learning, so that maybe you don't have to feel like that too!  Maybe you just need a few really simple but seriously effective strategies to build the career of your dreams. 

and then I realized...

If I'm being totally honest with you, I chose to become a hairstylist because I thought it was the quickest way to start making money out of high school.  My parents, like many of yours, were super thrilled...not.  I dove head first in and caught traction QUICKLY!  By 24, I was making 6 figures behind the chair.  I can really say though, that was a good and a really bad thing!  I was sooo young, I didn't have a mentor, social media wasn't really a thing yet, and my fast track to income resulted in some MAJOR purchases.  So here I was, 24, married, with a baby, a brand new house and two car payments.  All amazing things right?!  Until you are backed into a corner of being burned out, don't even know what a boundary is, and don't really have a plan of how to fix it.  I kept plugging away, doing client after client just to pay bills!  This wasn't what I had in mind when I chose hair, and it most certainly wasn't a way to spend the rest of my life.
