  • Hey Lashpreneurs! This week on the podcast, I invited Coach Victoria back where we discussed all things scaling a business from $100,000 to multiple 6 and 7 figures!

    Our discussion delved into the transformative experiences we've both had with hiring business coaches, how this decision can dramatically change the way you manage and expand your business, and how to know if a coach is full of 💩 or not.

    PLUS — the Top 5 Reasons why investing in getting business support through coaching is how you uplevel your business!

    I know building a team or deciding to hire might seem a bit daunting as your business expands. AND It's natural to need help when the demands start to outpace what you can handle alone…

    Adding a team allows you to provide more services, take on more clients, and ultimately increase your profits. And bringing a coach on board? They make sure that this expansion is well-organized and consistent with your long-term goals!

    They help simplify the growth process, making it more manageable and successful. 😌

    So If you’re at a point where you're unsure of the next steps, it might be time to consider how a business coach could help steer you towards your business vision!

    🚨 This week, I have my FREE LIVE Build a Team, Live Your Dream Masterclass ! There will be 3 class dates — Wednesday (May 15th), Friday (May 17th) and Sunday (May 19th) Go to thelashpreneur.com/buildateam and find a class that will work best for you!

    If you've hired before and it just hasn't worked out well or you don't know if you're profitable or you've never hired before and you want to do it the right way, this masterclass is for you!

    See you in class!

  • Hey Lashpreneurs! We're back again with another returning guest - Ashley Higgins, member of our Society Xcelerator program!

    This time, Ashley dives into why she saw hiring a team as the next crucial step for her business. She opens up about feeling burnt out and lacking support, and how our program and having a team have been instrumental in her progress. She even touched on her deep emotional connection with her clients.

    It was such a great conversation that it actually led to a quick live coaching session with her!

    If you feel inspired by Ashley’s story and you're planning to hire soon, I'd love for you to join me inside my FREE "Build A Team, Live Your Dream" Masterclass! It's happening on the week of May 13th, with three classes to choose from.

    Registration is now open at thelashpreneur.com/buildateam. See you in class!

  • In this episode, I had an eye-opening conversation with Lauren Isaako, one of our members inside Society Xcelerator program, where she shared her journey of growth and self-discovery. You might remember her from a previous episode, but this time around, she's got a whole new story to share that will surely inspire you!

    From overcoming her perfectionism to building a thriving team - Lauren became emotional reflecting on her past, particularly her first appearance on the podcast, and how much has changed since then. But hey, she made it through all those hurdles! 🙌

    She shared her experience about her first hire and how our program, Society Xcelerator, along with having a coach by her side, really guided her through the process.

    Lauren stressed how much this investment has helped her - the guidance, the accountability, all of it. And you know what? It totally paid off! She's crystal clear on her business goals now, has a solid grip on her finances, and can make those tough decisions with confidence, especially when it comes to growing and managing her team!

    It's amazing to see how her mindset has changed and how she views her past experiences in shaping her growth. AND what's even more amazing is that she didn’t just sit back and wait for things to happen — she's actually investing in herself, getting guidance, and putting in the work to grow and succeed.

    So if you’re interested in how to build a team legally and profitably, I have my FREE 'Build A Team Live Your Dream' Masterclass on the week of May 13th! We will be having 3 classes so you will have the option to choose which time and day works best for you! Registration opens on May 1st! Just go to thelashpreneur.com/buildateam

  • In episode 2 of Lessons of a Lashpreneur I shared with you about how lash artists are killing their chances with the Instagram algorithm by prioritizing popularity over profitability. This is not how you should be utilizing social media for your business.

    You need to prioritize profitability over popularity.

    You are using social media marketing in a way that's actually making it harder for you to get clients finding them on social media

    If you are constantly concerned about your number of followers more than the quality of your posts – then you have got things backwards.

    So I wanted to bring back an episode from 2019 that I've referenced at least 10+ times in the last few weeks that some of you may never have heard so you can start to really understand how to start attracting actual clients to your business using Instagram.

    In this week’s episode I’m going to talk to you about:

    What big mistakes you are making in your social media marketing

    How to maximize your exposure and your effort

    And, how to get clients off your app and into your business

    To do all this – you need to start with an INSTAGRAM CLEANSE!!!

    But I’ve finally reached 1,000 followers, why would I do an Instagram cleanse??!

    I can practically hear you crying this from reading the title of this episode alone.

    But it’s okay, I’ll explain all. Get ready, because in this episode of Lessons of a Lashpreneur I’m going to get REAL honest about how an Instagram cleanse is essential for the growth of your business.

    Why do I need an Instagram cleanse?

    If they are not a potential customer of yours – or they’re a dude! Or a bunch of tweezer manufacturers…or anyone who is NEVER going to be your customer, then they are not helping you extend your reach or purchase from you.

    So, if you have 1,000 or 2,000, 8,000 followers and you own a solo brick and mortar business – you have a lot of clicking ahead of you.

    If they are never going to be your customer – then ELIMINATE them.

    You’ve got to get real. It’s no longer social media for your personal use. We want to get our marketing in front of the right people. All these fake followers, tweezer manufacturers, lash brands are all people getting in the way of people who would actually want to become a customer of yours.

    I don’t care about popularity, I don’t care about numbers and I hope you don’t either.

    If you’ve gone from 1,000 followers to 100 followers because of this cleanse, then you now have 100 potential clients that your posts are more likely to show up in their feeds. Not those 1,000 people who have no interest in your business.

    That does nothing to grow your business and it wastes your time. So stop wasting your valuable time coming up with posts, editing photos, crafting captions, getting the right hashtags, to then have nobody see your posts! That’s because the only people that like your posts are other industry professionals, lash brands and beauty industry. And, that does NOTHING to grow your business.

    You all DM me and say that social media doesn’t work. Well if I go into your social media account and the first thing I find is industry pros, or anything that says, lash, hair or make-up in the name, then I know you are not targeting the right followers – and that is why your social media is not working.

    It doesn’t matter who you follow. It’s about who follows you. How does the Instagram algorithm actually work?

    Instagram sends out your post to a test section of your followers. If that test sample shows that people engaged with your post, then the algorithm will send it out to another test section of your audience. The more valuable it is, the more likely it is to show up in more of your followers’ feed. If that test section doesn’t engage, then it won’t get sent out to more people.

    Instagram works off engagement.

    If you spend longer in the app you are going to get more exposure to ads – so Facebook/Instagram can charge more to advertisers. That’s how they make their business.

    Instagram’s social reach is between 1-3%. If you have 100 followers, only 1-3% will actually see your posts. For our Instagram account, we have 30,000 followers and our reach is way less than 1%. The more followers you have can actually work against you.

    But we have a really targeted audience – and we are constantly cleansing. It may sound harsh, but that’s how the algorithm works.

    Go back to episode 2 of Lessons of a Lashpreneur – How You’re Killing Your Chances With The Instagram Algorithm to learn more about how Instagram works.

    Why am I not getting engagement?

    If you’re not using any captions, or hashtags, and are not responding to comments and are just posting an emoji of a butterfly 🦋 and a close-up eye shot👁️, then of course you are not building engagement.

    What am I supposed to engage with? Do I reply with a caterpillar emoji?? 🐛. That’s not engagement. 🙄

    What about other lash artists that follow me and engage? I can’t get rid of them?

    Yes, all those lash artists and friends may be great for community, but how are you supposed to get accurate data on what posts are successful and connecting with customers if it is getting watered down by lash artists who are engaging with you on EVERYTHING.

    You need to eliminate ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who is not a potential customer. Even if they are your supportive Auntie who lives in Boca – they have got to go.

    It’s not personal, it’s business. Let your friends follow your personal account or pick up the phone and call you.

    Your social media marketing is supposed to create a relationship with the customer. To do that – you need to hear from them and find out what they want.

    Do they want to know your story?

    Do they want before and after shots?

    Do they want inspirational quotes?

    Do they want community?

    We can’t know any of that – without that data.

    Data is everything if you want to grow your business.

    How can you make informed decisions about how to market to a potential customer if you don’t know what it is they want to see or hear from you if you are not getting accurate data?

    If you want to know what potential customers want from you – and you can’t experiment with that – until you have the right audience.

    Lash artists are drawn to all those close-up eye shots. But, potential customers aren’t. You will keep thinking this is what your audience wants and keep posting more and more eye shots. What you really need to do is find out what it is your audience wants, but you have all these other people muddying up the waters.

    I know I keep telling you to engage with your audience – but you have the WRONG AUDIENCE.

    So, if you have low engagement you either have the wrong audience and the wrong followers or they don’t value your posts.

    You can find out which, by doing an Instagram cleanse.

    How do you remove followers?

    I know some of you are going to resist this and I challenge you to DM me and tell me “hang on I’ve already taken off 200 followers and I haven’t found a difference?”

    Well, let me tell you, we have had so much success with members going through and being BRUTAL with eliminating followers and cutting 8 or 900 down to 200.

    AND…

    They’ve said;

    “I’m getting more engagement and more interaction from people I didn’t even know were potential customers and I’m getting DMs.”

    Trust me, there is a method to my madness.

    How do I start?

    Go to your profile page on your app

    Click on number of followers

    Tap on that number

    On the right-hand side, you’ll see three little dots

    Tap that and you should have the option to remove follower

    If you don’t, you’ll have to go into their account and block that follower instead

    Wait, blocking is way too harsh?

    If you block them, you won’t even come up when they search for you. And, if that sounds harsh – well it doesn’t matter as they aren’t ever going to be your customer. Plus, they don’t know that you’ve blocked them.

    I recommend for any spammy manufacturers you just block them.

    What will happen once you cleanse your Instagram account?

    Once you’ve cleansed your customers into actual potential customers, you will start to notice an increase in engagement, more traffic to your website, views on your stories – all those good things you want from social media because you have the right, targeted audience.

    You’ll start getting true data about what your audience wants from you. Then, you’ll start getting real engagement. More of your posts will be getting seen and more DMs will start coming your way.

    You need to utilize social media so you can get a return on your time and energy it takes to post. Start getting numbers that translate into dollars.

    Go do your cleanse and let me know how it works for you over on my Instagram account!

  • Hey lashpreneurs! 👋 Ready for me to shatter the myth that everyone in the beauty biz wants to rock a solo salon suite? 🤔

    In my latest episode, I unravel the real reasons behind the Salon Suite trend and spill the tea on why business ownership is NOT necessarily the ultimate beauty industry dream. I spill the beans on the industry's shady (ahem and illegal) hiring practices and why they're steering professionals away from true success and stability to have a long career in this industry. 🚀 Plus, I've got the evidence that there are LOADS of talented individuals dying for great employment opportunities – they just need YOU to create them! In fact, you can hear it directly from legally classified employees of one of my long time clients - who LOVE their job and the work environment and culture they experience at Lashtastic Lounge in Kernersville, NC - listen to their experience as employees who have ZERO desire to go out on their own on episode 230 HERE.

  • In this final episode of 2023, I’m doing a deep dive on the 8 THINGS WE’RE LEAVING IN 2023 AND the 4 THINGS WE’RE TAKING INTO 2024 🚀

    The importance of self-care takes the spotlight in this episode (and in LIFE), reminding us that a thriving business starts with a healthy and stable business owner! You can’t pour from an empty cup and I don’t know about you… but I’m tired of learning that lesson the hard way!

    In this episode I’ll cover the most common pitfalls I see Lashpreneurs making in their businesses (and lives) including things like:

    Discounting without a plan/purpose

    Haphazard social media “marketing” (if you can even call it that)

    Throwing money at ads without understanding how they work

    Follow for follow trains (for the love of God STOP IT!!!)

    “Litter” Marketing

    And a few others that are the most common crap marketing advice out there!

    But never fear - I’ll simplify the 4 things that are an absolute MUST if you want to CRUSH it in 2024 in business and in life! So enjoy listening in to this final episode of 2023 - and happy holidays from Tara and Team Lashpreneur! Weekly episodes will be back in 2024!

  • On this week’s episode I’m giving you a sneak peek of one of the episodes in my Super Secret 10-episode Team Building Podcast Series!

    In this sneak peek - I’m uncovering the salon and spa industry's most common and disastrous team building boo-boos. Brace yourselves, 'cause these missteps are all too common in our industry and some are illegal and MAJORLY COSTLY and BUSINESS BREAKING!

    From flaky (or non-existent) financial practices to hiring hiccups, it's a rollercoaster ride you'd rather not take. First, we exposed the “ruh roh’s” of failing to understand your business's financials. If the math ain't mathin' sis - you can't grow what you don't know!

    Then, we dive into hiring pitfalls, like favoring skills and experience over values and team culture fit…and I share the warm-body hiring mistake I see newbie employers focusing on which leads to a VERY people dependent (and unstable) business down the road.

    And don't forget about the dreaded "feelings-based decisions." As women, our emotions can be as unpredictable as a weather forecast and running a business and a team based on your mood of the day can spell trouble in attracting and retaining dream team players.

    If you're stuck in the treatment room and want to STOP trading your time for money, it's time to consider the other ways you can leverage your finite time and energy resources to maximize your business and income growth and this episode is going to have you avoiding all sorts of costly mistakes that rob you of precious time and profits!
