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!

She even touched on her deep emotional connection with her clients.
