I want you to remember that you never want to stop attracting ideal clients and that your ideal client will change as your career grows and changes too.

Your ideal client isn’t necessarily going to be the same person that it was at the very beginning of your career. This is the main reason why you need to look at your career as a cyclical process and not a linear one.

Meg believes that beauty professionals have a tendency to use their anxiety to get stuff done and view it as a “super-power” that enables them to multitask and do all the things that need to be done.

On the flip side, it can also be extremely detrimental to a business. As Meg discovered when her concept salon failed miserably.

I spent too much time in my life trying to be someone I wasn’t. Trying to “hustle” to the top, only deeming myself worthy if I was “working myself to the bone”. I was so busy and my ego loved it.

But it wasn’t sustainable. By pushing myself to the extreme I landed myself in a hospital bed with a stress-induced panic attack.

We’ve been told lies for a very long time about what it means to be successful and I’m here to tell you that none of it is true.

It’s frustrating to look back at the times I’ve fallen victim to these completely false narratives I was taught about my career.

Let’s be honest, sometimes we just wish someone else would make the decision for us, am I right? That’s why I’m bringing you this very special post all about decisiveness.

You just need to get comfortable stating the facts and practice is a great way to get there.

Remember, having a policy is not going to magically make people never late-cancel or no-show, the policy is in place to protect the revenue of your business.

Enforcing your policies is part of the process and the only way to get more comfortable is just to get started.
