I love this video! You’re so sweet & kind! Just to share a bit: When starting my business I was all in, but after a few months I couldn’t pay my bills, so instead of giving up on my business, I decided to change my hours so that I could work full time in the day & take clients in the evenings. When my clientele is large enough to be my only income, I can pick up where I left off. I made peace with the fact that my journey will look different than someone else’s, but as long as I know & believe I have what it takes to succeed, I can & will!

[@MsKolo90]

I’m going to do this as well. I plan on saving up for 6 months first

[@vanessap6496]

I agree. That’s is where I’m at right now. Everyone journey is different.

[@kristinedannals-imbruglio]

I work part time and take clients when I’m not working until I am fully booked… it’s a hustle

[@iammiaj9725]

God Bless You 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m 2 months into esthetician school. I have a son slightly older than yours. I’ve been experiencing homelessness but I have no plan B. This has to & WILL work. Thank you for your videos, your encouragement, your knowledge, and wisdom ♥️♥️

[@imcapril]

You can do it🙏🏼

[@glamhardbeauty4032]

Im a month away from opening my solo studio and I’m so excited but so nervous. You inspired me to jump in! I’ve been a pro makeup artist for 9 years and when I started that journey I had just finished Esthetician school. So that means I’ve had my license for 9 years! A couple months ago I told myself I’d find my path. I binged on your videos and now I’ve been taking clients at home. Im 40 and never thought I’d be doing what I’m doing right now. Thank you for inspiring us ❤️

[@janetteuy8771]

How is your business going today? I’m about to go solo and I’m in my 40’s. Would love to hear about your experience so far. 😊

[@AnamariaFigueroa-ee4ii]

@@janetteuy8771how is your business doing. Im almost 40 and im about to go to school and become a solo esthetician all in one year

[@etherealoasiss]

I saw this video & implemented it. Now many blessings are coming my way, Thank you 100 times😩 This is the push I needed💖

[@GoMary]

Love your videos and IG posts! I am in my mid-40s and just resigned from my corporate position to open up my pmu studio 2 months ago. I am not an esthetician, but your Po analogy is universal. I needed to hear it and wanted to thank you. ❤❤❤ I'm in Los Alamitos, Ca (middle of OC and LA).

[@Itsme_yaGuRL_]

Thank you for the reminder. I really needed to hear this again. I received my license as an Esthetician in 2020 I didn't do much with it since I didn't feel essential. Having my license made me feel like I wasted my studying in the beauty industry. But after seeing everyone continuing, pandemic or not made me realize we can accomplish what we want with anything we do. Taking accountability and responsibility for myself came with a slap in the face lol a much needed humble me kind of moment. Yesterday I was hired to be an Esthetician instructor!! I've been thinking of wanting to do this since I was in school. I'm so excited to start. I have no idea what I'm doing lol but the journey will be amazing.

[@marygonzalez1526]

I love this!! Thank you for being so positive! Imposter syndrome is a real thang! I’ve been struggling to know I’m better than what I am & sometimes I just want to quit, but you’re right we have to turn up that frequency

[@devieana43]

Definitely needed this starting Esthetician school soon. Clouded thoughts can have an impact on starting something new and just got clarity on it! It’s all about believing in yourself and distancing from that negative energy❤️

[@Mnalotus-pk1pc]

This came at the perfect time for me. Thank you for making this video. I will have it on repeat to help get where I want to be. I appreciate you so much!

[@dianamendez3513]

Thank you for this information! You always make my day. Today was a rough day. As I had to move into a smaller room and leave my solo esthetician room to join a salon. Listening to you today made me realize I can’t focus on those negative feelings but look in the positive way. I will get booked up, I will get known, I will achieve my Esthetician goals. I got licensed in June and immediately jumped into being a solo Esthetician a couple of weeks later… so making the decision of joining a salon was rough because I so wanted to be a solo Esthetician, but I also needed to get known…

[@lina_astud]

Hey girl, can you do a dedicated video how to start your solo esthetician business. tips, ideas, how to come out with your logo name, business cards etc.

[@kristenmarieco]

Hey! So I do have a series similar to that already available as part of my “going solo” online course. Link is in the description!

[@dramirez9162]

Loved this video. I been feeling so down with everything going on especially because I’m a mom. It’s been heartbreaking. I been off social media as much as possible. But thank you for this. Very true everything you said. You have to attract the good stuff and always listen/be around positivity. 💗💗

[@yessicamendez9785]

Just coming across your videos , wishing i seen you sooner! I’m 5 months in as a licensed esthetician ! I love your positivity 💗✨

[@hayleycunningham]

Absolutely love you & everything that you are! I’ve been watching your channel for so long now… (before I went to esthetics school, during, and now that I’m a licensed esthetician) you’ve helped me in soooo many ways. You gave me the encouragement to chase my dream and actually go to school… and now that I’m out and working for a spa, your tips and advice has really helped me. It can be so stressful navigating this new career path but I feel like you’re the big sister we all need to help guide us and steer us in the right direction 😅 honestly though… you’ve been the biggest inspiration for me as an Esthetician and I hope to grow big like you one day 😉 love you!! ♥️😘

[@wsecretsspaandsalonllc8775]

Thank you for this video it was confirmation .It is awesome to see and hear such positive feedback . Blessings to you I pray everything you set out to do prospers !! ❤

[@Makeupjunkie187]

I totally need to hear this, thank you & I appreciate the kind words of encouragement! ❤️

[@madisonbejarano7824]

Thank you for making this video it has been quite a bumpy year already and this video speaks to me!! I’ve been feeling extremely in the middle with my business because I just graduated esthetician school and received my temporary license, and have been slowly transitioning myself to the thought that yes I am in the process of being licensed and yes I am educated or experienced enough to do a facial lol. My thought process and my health has definitely slowed my business down but now that I am taking action about my health and making slow thought changes and talking more about my experience with potential clients, i am starting to see a change in my pace/motivation to want to do more. I really appreciate this video because it validates that I am on the right track, I consistently watch your videos and always learn so much!

[@kristenmarieco]

Hi Madison! Thanks for sharing. I’m sure it resonates with anyone reading it. You are not alone and it sounds like your awareness and hope has started to bring you out of this tough time. Hang on to that thought if, it’s going to be OK. You WILL succeed. Please keep me posted and stay in touch! Sending you virtual hugs!

[@kellylovejoy2169]

Thank you so much for this video it’s literally changed everything for me , I’m new in to the aesthetics world and I’m always beating myself up because I struggle getting clients and I get so down because I’m so passionate about my business and I want to succeed so much that it really gets to me I’m massive in to manifestation and this woke me up and put me back in to alignment so thank you so much , you was meant to pop up on my feed and I’m so glad you did ❤

Again with the video that gets me in the feels, been definitely in this mode and have been constantly trying to be better with my self talk and mindset shift to allow better opportunities to flow my way and to not get my own way. I can’t wait to leave my current job and work for myself or at least at another place with similar value made as mine. This (amongst other things) has been on the forefront of my mind. Thank you 🙏🏽 for this video and sharing as you do. It’s been very encouraging and enriching to my life and journey and feels nice to not feel so alone in it. I wish you the best this week and that your time in the weird funk phase passes (as I’m in one too haha) and we get on to the next better one 💕🌟🌟 much love ❤️

[@kristenmarieco]

KYLEE!! Thank you for the ongoing support as always and I’m sorry I’ve been Mia with my replies to you. I really do see you leaving your job at some point and as long as you see it too and you feel good about it and anticipate it’s arrival, it WILL come. And when it does you’ll be happy you followed your dreams. Sending you lots of love and encouragement and we WILL see better days ❤️

How can I distance myself from people who bring me down if they are my co-workers and I’m forced to be surrounded by them 40 hours a week? Any suggestions? I needed this video!! ❤️❤️❤️💕

[@kristenmarieco]

Funny analogy I just thought of right now as I was about to park my car lol I noticed a parking spot that had a bunch of bird poop marks on the ground. Instead I parked in a spot across that didn’t.. seems like an obvious choice right? Because I don’t want my clean car to get pooped on lol so my question is, why would you put yourself in the path of people who you know are gonna poop on you? 😂 I’m cracking up typing this but I’m dead serious too lol obviously you work with them so contact isn’t 100% avoidable but talk to them when it’s work related and that’s IT. Don’t discuss your plans or purpose. Just simply show them your professionalism and your good character. By keeping your distance but being a good worker, a woman of your word, and kind, they can’t say anything negative. Then when the day comes that you leave, you leave with integrity and a good reputation. Cuz I will tell u rn, it’s a small world. And you could get a client from someone who knows someone you worked with. So keep that in mind! I hope it helps!

[@daylydose5823]

@@kristenmarieco wow! That was an amazing advice! The analogy also had me cracking up, but it makes total sense! Lol. I will keep that in mind to only have work-related conversations and keep my integrity that way.
