It’s so easy to look at someone’s social media page and think - wow, they’re so lucky, an overnight success! But what that green-eyed monster doesn’t see is the sweat, tears, and years of hard work behind the scenes that goes into it. Our very first guest is Kailah Lee, who is a force to be reckoned with in the beauty industry. Merging her two past careers in the hairdressing then corporate worlds, she has created a bridal service empire that has taken over the Perth beauty scene. She’s also created her own business mentorship program to help other businesswomen create their own success, based on her own experiences and challenges that she’s powered through and overcome. She built her second multi-6-figure brand in less than 8 months, and has helped clients go from $3k months to $12k in 90 days. We talk about everything business but also dive into some personal stories, from choosing hairdressing over university, ADHD, working on your subconscious dialogue, and being grateful after her mum’s death. Kailah Lee is hilariously unapologetic and authentic as she shares her best tips on how scarcity is just a mindset, and that focusing on an experience instead of sales is the best way to see an immediate increase in your revenue - and it’s one you deserve.We’ll be taking you through an emotional rollercoaster of:❤️‍🔥 Overcoming a scarcity mindset and reframing it with abundance as a focus❤️‍🔥 Enhancing client experiences to increase value perception❤️‍🔥 Automating systems and processes to allow your business to grow sustainably❤️‍🔥 Living authentically and learning to prioritise your values alongside your businessI want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!If the sassy and successful Kailah Lee has inspired you, you can work with her at her Momentum Membership as she shares her strategies to being a fully-booked, highly sought after beauty queen: https://www.kailahlee.co/momentum-membershipAs promised, I've also included her podcast link if you need more of her in your ears: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-kailah-lee-show-bridal-beauty-bosses-building-empires/id1683484055To see more of her amazing content and advice, you can also follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekailahlee?igsh=MW9mdmd6dTU3ZnRlbA%3D%3DIf you have a burning question you’d like me to answer on the show, or just simply want to connect, reach out to me on IG.And if you’d like to join our movement of ambitious beauty leaders, connect with us.
