When I first became a lash artist in 2007, I really thought that my background as a hairstylist would help me to build a super successful lash business. I quickly learned that starting a business and getting it to the point where you can work full time in the business is a lot easier said than done.
There were quite a few things I learned along the way while building my business that helped to make my business super efficient and profitable that I wish I knew when I started.
My hope is that by sharing these things with you, that it helps to save you time so you can get your business to profitability as quickly as possible.
