24. Building a Successful Business From Scratch, Opening a Brick and Mortar Location, and Scaling to $1M with Julie Nhi

It is my honor and pleasure to introduce you to the best nail artist in Charlotte, Julie Nhi! Julie is the owner of Cosmic Nails, and in this episode she’s sharing her inspiring story of hustling seven days a week to secure her first brick and mortar location, to earning a scholarship to be mentored along Charlotte’s most accomplished entrepreneurs. If you own - or dream of owning! - your own business, this episode is full of tactical tips and inspiration! Plus, she shares her favorite health elixirs that I have tried and can attest to - they work!

Some of the key takeaways from this episode include:

• Find what can set you apart from other businesses in your industry. Julie saw that nail art was just becoming popular so she used her graphic design skills to soar to the top in that niche!

• When you first start a business, you probably won’t have the resources or recognition for instant success. If you persevere and work hard, you’ll be ready when that big break opportunity comes. Seasons of working seven days a week are temporary - keep going!

• Build a personal relationship with your clients and vendors. Get to know them personally and check in with them. When you show people you genuinely care about them, you’re more likely to create loyal customers for life.
