Here I am at my new business launch party back on 2005. π₯π₯π₯π₯
My friends helped me paint the walls of my newly rented office on Orchard Road and helped me locate furniture to kit it out. β€β€
I had left my high paying corporate job the month before without a backward glance.
I was so excited and filled with passion to help people look and feel great. π€π€
Enter reality!!
I sat there in that big, expensive office for almost a year until funds ran out.
You see, like a lot of image consultants, I hadn't a clue how to run a business or what it took to have a steady flow of clients.
There were lots of image trainers teaching technical skills but few teaching consultants how to actually get clients.
I learned slowly and painfully what it took.
I took a break from my business for a few years when the children were small and when I restarted my business, I decided to do it differently this time around.
I learned everything I could about running a profitable business and how I could grow my business quickly. Obviously knowing what didn't work through experience saved me a lot of time and effort.
Now, I have a business I am very proud of and can run from anywhere in the world teaching other consultants how to do the same.
Maybe I had to experience the challenging path to get to where I am now, but if you are an image consultant today, you don't need to go it alone.
There is so much help out there.
Have you reached out for help yet??
