#243-The future of working with assistants or being an assistant

One of my pet peeves is seeing so much misinformation in this industry. We love to see things that back up our own beliefs, but this type of mindset only keeps us playing small. This is why in today’s episode we’re looking at the money myths and lies that we often tell ourselves, and I’m getting real about all the ways that a limiting mindset in this area can hold us all back. It’s time to stop focusing on short-term fixes and to start thinking long-term about building a successful and thriving business, so let’s go!   If you have a question for me that you’d like answered in a future episode, a great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question.

Stylists comparing themselves to others and imposter syndrome are running rampant in this industry right now and it’s creating burnout, isolation, and a lot of self-doubt - all needlessly.
