Today, I’m excited to share a topic that’s been on my mind lately, especially for those of you who are just stepping into the beauty industry. If you’re ready to dive into the industry, buckle up – we’re about to explore why it might not be the best idea to juggle multiple income streams right from the start, especially if your earnings haven’t crossed the $100,000 mark. So, let’s break it down.

Emergence of Business Coaches:

Isn’t it fascinating how the beauty industry has seen a surge of business coaches lately? With the pandemic pushing us to get creative and think outside the box, it’s no surprise that many are looking to diversify their income sources. But, here’s the catch: not all those who claim expertise are actually experts. There’s a growing concern about the integrity and authenticity of these coaches, which points to a broader issue – the rise of amateur educators who seem more focused on quick financial gains rather than genuine mentorship.

Maintaining Your Focus:

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room – spreading yourself too thin and chasing multiple income streams. It sounds tempting, doesn’t it? But here’s the truth – it can lead to burnout faster than you’d think. Building a business is no cakewalk, but it can be simplified, especially if you’re just starting out. By dividing your energy among various revenue streams, you risk exhausting yourself, feeling lost, and eventually becoming demotivated. Remember, in the early stages, your focus should be on growth and building a strong foundation.

Mastery First, Money Later:

Ever heard the saying, “mastery comes before the money”? Well, it holds true in the beauty industry too. The idea is simple – before you teach or coach others, you need to become a master of your craft. Rushing into teaching without solid mastery could lead to subpar education and lackluster results. Mastery takes time, practice, and a dedication to continuous improvement. Only by honing your skills and becoming an authority can you provide valuable education and services.

Cultivating Authority Takes Time:

Becoming an authority in the beauty industry is a journey, not a sprint. Trying to rush this process by diversifying your offerings too early can dilute your expertise and delay your ascent to true authority status. Instead of aiming for wide recognition right off the bat, consider becoming a “hometown hero.” Focus on your local community, deliver exceptional services, and earn the trust and recognition of those around you. This grassroots approach sets a stronger foundation for growth.
