2020 was the hardest year for me in my business - BUT it was also my best year yet.

I know that this year has been hard and a lot of businesses have been struggling. I don't say that I've had my best year yet to gloat - I say it because I want you to know that even through all of this struggle it is possible. 

This year is coming to a close but that doesn't mean you can't put into motion the things you need to make 2021 your best year - no matter what happens.

So I'm not going to make you wait any longer to get this juicy info, okay? Let's just jump right into this episode where I tell you exactly how I managed to make this difficult difficult year such a success.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [02:45]  2020 has been a hard year for a lot of businesses but I'm happy to say that despite having to cancel my big event Pretty Ambitious Summit and having closed my studio pretty much since March, this year has been...

When you grow you glow!

I've been doing a lot of reflection lately and I'm sure you have too. We're coming up on the end of this crazy unexpected year and it's the perfect time to reflect on how we've grown over the year. You can always tell when people are experience growth because there's this glow around them. They seem brighter, happier, more confident.

A good friend of mine, Amanda Rose, has experienced a lot of growth. And I'm incredibly proud of her because we go back. We go way back. I knew her when she was at a different point in her career when she was scared and afraid to trust. And now she's different! She's...you know, grown.

So to kick off this season of reflection, goal making, and new beginnings, Amanda and I are going to talk about the growth that she's experienced and how you can experience that growth too.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [15:37]  First Amanda gives a little context to our...

The beauty industry is full of so much beauty but it can also be very ugly.

This industry can be really cutthroat and it can be hard to know who you can and can't trust. I've been burned a number of times since I've been in PMU. I've had those who I literally considered family betray me. For those of you who are fresh in the industry, who are new and don't have a lot of connections, that can be very frightening.

Enter Tessa Marti who, while she's only been in the industry for two years now, is incredibly beyond her years. She's not only incredibly skilled but she has taken so many risks in her business. With those risks she's faced her own fair share of betrayals. In this episode, we're going to dig into her story to understand how to recover from betrayal in the beauty busy and get some advice on how to grow into your own.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [01:56]  First I want to introduce Tess Marti to those of you...

Can Christianity and entrepreneurship mingle?

I am a Christian, okay? I love Jesus. For a lot of Christians, it can be hard, like, can I be rich and Christian? Is it sinful to make a lot of money, is it sinful to want to make a lot of money?

It's a tricky subject. But I brought the best person on the podcast to help me dive into it. For this episode, I brought in Lauren Schwab, creator of the Business Baptism and Unplugged Mornings. I feel so connected to this girl. I feel so connected to her and I feel like she helps me feel so much more connected to God. We all feel connected to Him in different ways, right? I feel like her and I just really align spiritually and mentally.

If you're a Jesus lover and you're an entrepreneur and sometimes you're just filled with doubts like "am I doing the right thing?" "is this in line with my faith?" we're here to help you dissect those thoughts and hopefully guide you to the right path.

So no more waiting!...

If you don't have a sales process then you're not going to see the growth you want in your business.

That's the simple fact of it.

If you're not implementing a sales process - you're not going to sell to your fullest potential. How are you going to experience growth that way? You know what your dreams are for your business and if you want to reach those dreams then you have to get serious about a sales strategy.

I know that the idea of a sales strategy doesn't seem sexy - but it IS. I love sales, okay? And my buddy, Natasha Hemmingway, also loves sales. Not only does she love sales but she is a sales MASTER. She's so smart and passionate about sales that it's infectious. I'm infected with it! And you know what, if you listen to this podcast episode you will be too. 

I wanted to bring Natasha on the podcast because I believe in her sales philosophy so much. We both see sales as service. We see sales as a way of serving others and helping others....

Saying you CAN'T do something is just another way that FEAR and COMFORT hold you back from achieving your goals. 

In this episode, I have the controversial Kim Constable AKA The Sculpted Vegan AKA The Million Dollar Mentor. Not only is she helping people build the bodies of their dreams, but she's also helping them make their millions. If anyone exemplifies the Pretty Rich mindset - it's her.

And she's not mincing her words in this podcast. If you're not achieving your goals - truth is that you're probably the MAIN thing holding you back. Are you really ready to level up and GROW your business? Then listen up richies.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [17:14]  We start off the conversation with some rapid-fire questions to warm us up.

‣‣  [25:14]  It's easy to see someone as successful as Kim on Instagram and think "ugh she has EVERYTHING! She has everything figured out!" So I want to know what is challenging her...

You might be letting the idea of "patience is a virtue" keep you from reaching your fullest potential faster. 

It might not seem like it - but your patience can really hold you back. It's probably keeping you safe. It's probably actually STOPPING you from taking ACTION and making your dreams a REALITY. Like, you could taste success today - but if you're letting patience and plans slow you down you might not feel that success for YEARS.

I know that it can be hard to tell the difference between smart planning and comfortable planning. In this episode I'm going to sit down with you and share some hard truths so that you can really be critical of yourself and where you are with your beauty business and figure out whether or not you're just using patience as an excuse.

I guarantee this episode is going to be a real kick in the butt for you. No matter where you are with your beauty business - this will motivate you to push yourself even further towards success....

ARE YOU WAITING TO START YOUR DREAM BUSINESS BECAUSE THERE'S A PANDEMIC GOING ON?

Did you put yourself and your dreams on hold for this?

Listen up, sister-friend, I'm not telling you things aren't hard. BUT YOU CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO START YOUR BUSINESS.

I know, that might be bold. But I know that after this episode you will be inspired and motivated to get your butt in gear and START THAT BUSINESS. Why? Because I brought on my good friend Jackie Nguyen who started a mobile coffee shop all during the pandemic.

She's doing it and she's killing it and she's sharing all of it on social media, so you should definitely check her out for more motivation. But seriously, you don't need to put your dreams on hold forever. Yes, things will be hard, but you can't let the hard stuff stop you. I can help you! We can make your dreams come true. All of that power is in your hands you just have to take it and make something with it.

Are you ready? Let's do this.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to be in a relationship with an entrepreneur?

Maybe your partner's an entrepreneur or maybe you're an entrepreneur yourself and you just find yourself wondering: wait how does this work? What does a relationship like this even look like? How do you handle different incomes? How do you handle fights? How do you support one another? How do you keep things exciting?

All relationships come with their own hurdles and solutions but in this episode I'm going to give you an INSIDE look into my own relationship with my husband, Will. I asked you guys to send me all of your juicy questions on my IG stories and...well, you'll just have to listen to the episode to hear how it all went down. 

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [04:21]  Let's start out by introducing you to my husband, Will Reusch.

‣‣  [06:13]  Coming out swinging with the first question: what's the hardest part of marriage?

‣‣...

Am I good enough? Am I doing enough? Do I belong here?

These are questions we all ask ourselves, right? I find myself wondering these things all the time - which might be surprising to some of you. People tend to think when you reach a certain point of success (which, what point is that supposed to be exactly?) that those worries and fears just disappear. That's just not true, girl.

Those thoughts are persistent because they're deep, deep within us. In this episode, I just really want to dissect that thought process. I want to get into it because the truth is we are totally enough. I am enough. You are enough. The thoughts in your head that say otherwise are lies. Trust me.

But sometimes just knowing that isn't enough. So let's talk about it.

Here are the episode highlights:

‣‣  [01:38]  Let's start with a little catch-up, okay? Just a little life update. What's been going on with you?

‣‣  [08:30]  Getting into it, I want...
