Beauty Career Planning

To fully maximize your potential as a cosmetologist you need a Beauty Career Plan. Having an uber successful career takes work and planning, it doesn’t happen by accident.

It happens by intent.

You wanted to be a licensed cosmetologist, right? You had the goal, you attended classes, you saw the finish line and crossed it. Now you are a professional hair stylist who achieved your first goal, the first of many.

Now what is it you want to accomplish? Do you want to be a platform artist, teaching other stylists awesome cutting techniques while you are on stage under the lights? (Man, that DOES sound good!)

You have a beautiful model under the cape but You are the one all eyes are on. They are watching you with enthusiasm because you are about to teach them a skill they want to learn.

But right now you are a part time stylist working in a franchise salon. Do you think the magic stylist fairy will swoop into your shop sprinkle you with pixie dust and turn you into a platform artist? Not likely, BUT don’t fret pretty one. It is possible to get there.

Do you know “how” I know its possible, even though I am not a platform artist? Because there are platform artists. That means they exist, and if they can do it SO CAN YOU!

The very first step to getting to any desire is to claim the goal as your own, or intend it. I think goal setting comes in many shapes and sizes.

You cannot skip this step!

It is the basis for everything else we will learn to fully maximize your beauty career. Without clearly defined goals on paper we have no direction, no path to follow.

With no clear direction you will find yourself with a job, not a beauty career. Remember, other people’s control or your own personal consecutive achievement? Your choice.

I couldn't have found a better spokesperson than Ursula Stephen to describe the passion of our industry and the personal fulfillment in being a stylist. Listen to her heart as she demonstrates that your beauty dreams CAN come true!
