In this episode, we sit down with Ashley, a determined entrepreneur who broke away from the corporate beauty industry to build her own successful waxing business. She shares the challenges of working in a system that convinces employees they can't make it on their own—and how she and her friends took a bold leap of faith to prove otherwise. Now, three years into her journey, Ashley reflects on the lessons she's learned, the freedom of being her own boss, and why she wishes she had taken the leap sooner.
Ashley dives into the realities of self-employment—how it's both more work and more rewarding than a typical 9-to-5. She discusses the importance of finding the right clients, the power of social media for personal branding, and the challenges of balancing work and life as an entrepreneur. She also opens up about how her ADHD plays a role in her business and how she has learned to structure her days for maximum productivity.
Whether you're an aspiring business owner, someone feeling stuck in a corporate job, or just curious about the journey of entrepreneurship, Ashley's story is full of valuable insights and inspiration. Tune in for a conversation about risk, resilience, and the rewards of forging your own path.
