Hey Lashpreneurs! In this episode, we’re thrilled to have Ayla Agecoutay, a proud member of our Lashpreneur Society! 
Ayla’s story is truly inspiring — she’s someone who’s driven by passion and isn’t afraid to seek out the support she needs to grow.  She faced challenges and significant financial fears, but she found strength and confidence through her involvement in the Lashpreneur Society. 
This support and sense of community were sooo important for her as she made the brave leap to fully running her own business. It's a powerful reminder of how important it is to surround yourself with the right people who can lift you up and guide you when you’re unsure of your next steps.
For anyone feeling a bit lost or unsure about what to do next, Ayla is a prime example of how valuable it can be to lean on a community that understands your challenges!

On this week's episode, we're going to tackle something a lot of business owners overlook — seeing your business from your customers' point of view. 
I know how easy it is to get caught up in the everyday grind, managing operations, and keeping the finances in check. But think about it — do you really know what your business looks like from the outside? 
We're talking about that first moment someone sees your ad or checks out your social media, to the way they feel when they walk out of your salon. 
Every step in this journey tells a story to your customers and plays a big part in whether they decide to come back or even spread the word about your services!
If you're interested in learning about policies to help communicate clearly when a client is unhappy, set expectations, and manage other aspects of your business, head over to thelashpreneur.com/policies We've put together a bunch of different sample policies there that can really help you streamline these processes!

Hey Lashpreneurs! This week on the podcast, I invited Coach Victoria back where we discussed all things scaling a business from $100,000 to multiple 6 and 7 figures!
Our discussion delved into the transformative experiences we've both had with hiring business coaches, how this decision can dramatically change the way you manage and expand your business, and how to know if a coach is full of 💩 or not.
PLUS — the Top 5 Reasons why investing in getting business support through coaching is how you uplevel your business!
I know building a team or deciding to hire might seem a bit daunting as your business expands. AND It's natural to need help when the demands start to outpace what you can handle alone…
Adding a team allows you to provide more services, take on more clients, and ultimately increase your profits. And bringing a coach on board? They make sure that this expansion is well-organized and consistent with your long-term goals!
They help simplify the growth process, making it more manageable and successful. 😌
So If you’re at a point where you're unsure of the next steps, it might be time to consider how a business coach could help steer you towards your business vision!

Hey Lashpreneurs! We're back again with another returning guest - Ashley Higgins, member of our Society Xcelerator program! 
This time, Ashley dives into why she saw hiring a team as the next crucial step for her business. She opens up about feeling burnt out and lacking support, and how our program and having a team have been instrumental in her progress. She even touched on her deep emotional connection with her clients.
It was such a great conversation that it actually led to a quick live coaching session with her!

In this episode, I had an eye-opening conversation with Lauren Isaako, one of our members inside Society Xcelerator program, where she shared her journey of growth and self-discovery. You might remember her from a previous episode, but this time around, she's got a whole new story to share that will surely inspire you!
From overcoming her perfectionism to building a thriving team - Lauren became emotional reflecting on her past, particularly her first appearance on the podcast, and how much has changed since then. But hey, she made it through all those hurdles! 🙌
She shared her experience about her first hire and how our program, Society Xcelerator, along with having a coach by her side, really guided her through the process.
Lauren stressed how much this investment has helped her - the guidance, the accountability, all of it. And you know what? It totally paid off! She's crystal clear on her business goals now, has a solid grip on her finances, and can make those tough decisions with confidence, especially when it comes to growing and managing her team!
It's amazing to see how her mindset has changed and how she views her past experiences in shaping her growth. AND what's even more amazing is that she didn’t just sit back and wait for things to happen — she's actually investing in herself, getting guidance, and putting in the work to grow and succeed.
So if you’re interested in how to build a team legally and profitably, I have my FREE 'Build A Team Live Your Dream' Masterclass on the week of May 13th! We will be having 3 classes so you will have the option to choose which time and day works best for you! Registration opens on May 1st! Just go to thelashpreneur.com/buildateam
