If you\\u2019re like most beauty business owners - once you\\u2019ve reached a comfortable level of success in your business where you are fully booked and making the income you desire to make - you start to wonder\\u2026

What\\u2019s next? Will I continue trucking along doing this same thing for the next 10 or 20 years? What does retirement even LOOK LIKE for a lash artist??

Is building a team the logical next step? If not, then WHAT?

That\\u2019s exactly what we\\u2019re talking about on today\\u2019s episode.

My guest today is Natalie, a lash artist from the UK with 7 years of experience in the industry. She works from home and loves her clients, but also knows she doesn\\u2019t want to be taking appointments forever. She reached out to me because she was feeling stuck in what the next step was in her business that would allow her to stop taking clients while still bringing in income and setting herself up for retirement. She says:

\\u201cIn the UK, our retirement age is about 67. And I know that there\'s absolutely no way at 67 years old, I\'m going to want to be service based. So I know I\'m sort of 37 years [away from] this, but what\'s the point in having a business and working so hard and gaining all of these clients, if effectively in 10 years time, if you\'re not fit enough to do this role? What\'s the point of all this hard work?\\u201d

In this episode, Natalie and I \\xa0talk through some of the \\xa0different options she has to leverage her skills and experience to generate income in - or out - of the beauty industry that \\xa0would allow her to stop trading her time for money. PLUS I \\xa0lead Natalie through a simple visualization exercise that gives her that AH-HA \\xa0moment of what she wants to do next in her business - and we get super clear on what the very first step should be in working towards that.

This is an exercise that anyone can use when they\\u2019re feeling stuck on what their next step should be and that actually aligns with their passion and what lights them up - not just follow what they think is the \\u201clogical\\u201d next step that everyone else does.

Join us for this insightful and inspiring conversation as we explore what retirement looks like for a lash artist and offer valuable advice for anyone looking to pivot in their business and STOP TRADING THEIR TIME FOR MONEY!
