I think the reason why everybody loves Kat is because she’s still relatable even as she grows in life

[@KathrynBedell]

Ily so much 🥺♥️

[@yazmeinayani8531]

[@EBNDesigns4U]

So true. Business owners are customer service representatives as well. It is important to know how to handle customer services concerns & issues. We should not place unrealistic expectations on friends, family, & those close to us. They have a choice to purchase our products & services. Also, they can be supportive in other ways such as offering words of encouragement or suggestions. Marketing is important in business, as well. Thanks for sharing! Be encouraged!

[@Daisybabee1]

I’m sorry you don’t have family support, hang in there queen 👑 Also could you do a tutorial on your hair in the cover photo (the bob like style) if you haven’t already ☺️

[@RoseSimeus]

She tried it! People have to be very careful because people will try to harass you into giving them free product in hopes you don’t to bash your business. Ugh! Keep it up 👍🏾

[@kangoocutee1198]

Definitely enjoyed watching you work and package your orders and then drop them off at the post office. It is so satisfying to see growth and progress, but especially so with Women of Color.

[@KathrynBedell]

Thank you so much for tuning in! I love sharing content like this!

[@prettybrown6247]

Your skin looks TF goodt! 😍 and when is the Diana lashes restocking? Also we need a tutorial on how to clean the lash band. I’ve never known how to do that

[@KathrynBedell]

[@princessariel959]

Sis is sold out and I’m upset. Congratulations on your success! I’ll definitely be buying a few pair when the restock is done 💞

[@jadenicole2166]

Hey Katttt ❤️ there will always be one 🙃 sus will be okay hell ! People don’t have this same negative energy with Gucci, Fashion Nova, etc

[@KathrynBedell]

Lmao right! It was the fact that she never ordered from me in the first place, but was complaining about “her order” that never even existed! These people are nuts 😂 I can guarantee they don’t treat Fashion Nova like this 🌚💀

[@karriejohnson6328]

I believe people give negative energy with Gucci and others., it's just we don't hear about it, they just try to get away with scamming small businesses. Smh

[@nurselifeboutique]

So true..sometimes I get a sale and some time I might go a week or 2 before I get another sale..its like buissness will be slow..that's why I still have my full time job..it help me keep up with bills etc.

[@ken89655]

Yes!!! We want more lol❤️❤️ what’s the name of the lashes your wearing in the beginning of the video

[@HarlineApplejacks]

Love this video! Can you please do a video of you trying your lashes on ? And how do you apply lashes for beginners? Thank you 💕

[@KathrynBedell]

Yes I definitely plan to when I get closer to my restock! 🙌🏾

[@Tommie_Don]

So happpy for anyone with a successful business 💕 Also do you think that large order customer is reselling your lashes ? 🤔 If so is that like illegal or do you mind if someone did that ? I’m just curious about your thoughts on that

[@KathrynBedell]

If she happens to be reselling my lashes, I’m 1000% ok with that. I got my profit, so I’m not knocking anyone else’s hustle! 😁🎉 But I do offer lower wholesale prices for those who want to resell, so if anyone wanted to do that, that’d be the better option instead of buying for regular price 🤔😂

[@ItsJazmineCymone]

I’m interested in reselling. How could I discuss your wholesale options? Do you have an email

[@QueenHan]

Speaking from experience she’s probably an Mua 😂

[@Lokelaniscreations]

I want to start my own small buisness but I’m not like a KZbinr , or influencer , entrepreneur etc I’m just wondering what are some good advice to start my lash buisness? Don’t get me wrong I love all things beauty but I have 2 going on 3 kids and I wanna start my own small buisness from home. Help please 😢 but your videos are giving me motivations and I love them ❤❤

I am looking into starting a lash and lip gloss company

[@Itschanytal]

This A Great Way To Start A Business But They Cost To Much To Start.

[@KathrynBedell]

Start small and scale up. Accessing financial freedom will never cost too much.

[@__djhunter]

Idk why people EXPECT family to automatically support their business….hell, does your fam even like/wear/use what you sell? Everything is not for everybody! Can’t be mad

[@blackmanskeeper_]

Because that's what family is for to support. Support comes in many forms. Not just purchasing. Also they could still support by making a small donation to your business. How can you tell one they can't be mad people have a right to feel how they feel. It seems family doesn't always equivalate to blood relatives.

[@__djhunter]

@@blackmanskeeper_ you’re totally right. People do have the right to feel how they feel. And I still feel the same about my original comment. All “families” are different and operate differently. It is assumed, but I don’t think it should be expected. That’s how you get your feelings hurt.

[@blackmanskeeper_]

@@__djhunter blood don't make you family. You know who your tribe is by the love and energy displayed. And actually all "family" are the same you just got to know who your "family" is... True Family is exactly that. And emotions are very much normal we get hurt in life but it motivates us which is why we turn our pain into passion our hurt into hustle whether it be with family, relationship etc. Being let down/hurt is normal. Others whom didn't expect certain things to transpire end up hurt also. All that glitters ain't gold. I'm just not stuck in the matrix so EYE see what life and others are actually about

[@meekalynique]

I agree with this! Your family and friends is not your customers/target audience. As a business owner myself I learned that quick and never got offended because I know my ideal customers and who’s supportive. I had customers all the from London. Your support is from people you don’t know.

[@blackmanskeeper_]

@@meekalynique your family and friends is suppose to be your main supporters. That's just a code we live by. Well a code us Louisiana folks live by. They are suppose to be your support system as well as people who you dont know whom actually end up your tribe/family 💯

[@BrittneysKitchen]

I had so many people asking me to restock on lashes and when I did I ordered 75 pairs (I normally order around that amount anyway) and now thag I required orders on my website nobody wants to shop anymore. I hope yo get rid of these by attending a popup shop and then lesson learned lol

[@KathrynBedell]

I had a similar situation happen. People request certain things, but then end up not shopping. I guess ish happens, but it still kinda sucks. A pop up shop sounds like a great idea!

[@BrittneysKitchen]

@@KathrynBedell definitely but it won't hold me back from future business ideas, it's only a lesson. And yes the pop up shop seems like a smart way to get rid of everything. I'm so happy for your success by the way! Keep going ♥️♥️

People are mentally unstable these days. I mean too much unproductive time on their hands. The questions are so intrusive. Cool video. 😎

[@KathrynBedell]

Lol! I actually don’t mind the questions that much, because I had the same ones when I started. I just didn’t ask anyone and figured it out myself. People don’t realize that trial and error is truly the best way to learn!

[@KathrynBedell]

Also thank you for watching! ♥️

[@selenat264]

@@KathrynBedell Social media have contributed to people becoming lazy. They don't want to do their research at all. Some not all just don't want to put in work. I noticed that some will ask questions just to be intrusive but very rarely act on what they are asking.

[@JenniferDianeLushesjen]

omgsh!!! girl! that same thing happened to me!! like this girl messaged me on my website business chat and she was telling me that she never got her order and when she gave me the order number it was like a 13 digit order number and did not match my orders I was like omg!! seriously people play to much.... I bet it wasn't an average person or follower I think it was fraudulent type of people.

[@ShonnaScott08]

Family and friends will not make you successful

[@KathrynBedell]

They sure won’t! I wished people realized this! It would save them a lot of heartache. Thanks so much for watching Shonna ♥️
