Have I got a treat for you today!
In this episode, I’m talking to Molly Gee, an incredible salon owner, serial entrepreneur, and mastermind member who has done some ah-mazing things in the beauty industry!
Molly lives and works in Madison, Mississippi and she’s got the cool Southern accent to go with it! Madison’s not a big town (I know, I looked it up), and is yet another podcast guest who proves that you can kick butt as a salon owner in a small town.
Listen into our conversation to learn how she was able to do so much in her short time in the beauty industry.

Here’s what you’ll hear in today’s episode:
-
Molly’s incredible story and how she went from a New York fashion to assistant to bridal accessory maven to small-town salon guru.
-
The massive challenges she faced as a business owner, and how she succeeded anyway. (These challenges, guys. Whew. Seriously, I teared up!)
-
Why it’s actually a good idea to be the big fish in a little pond, business-wise.
-
Why time and research are important ingredients for a successful business…just like courage and willingness to jump in!
-
We go off a little on the importance of quality hair products. Stay with us here.
-
How she was able to expand her business past her salon and create national reach.
-
I said it once and I’ll say it again: paying your dues is bullshit. Don’t wait for permission!
I love Molly’s story so much because she just decided what she wanted and went for it, despite major obstacles. She invested in her business, she found her community, and she grew.
In a nutshell, she lays out EXACTLY what it takes to grow a business in real life.
And I know you can do it too!
