YOU CAN’T GROW IF YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO BE COACHED. 👏🏼💯
One of the most frustrating parts of being an educator and mentor in this industry is genuinely wanting to see other stylists WIN more than they sometimes want it for themselves.
I don’t coach to criticize. I coach because I see potential. I see the talent, the opportunities, and the MONEY you could be making if you were willing to get out of your own way.
But here’s the thing… Not every correction is an attack. Not every piece of advice is a personal insult. And not everyone who challenges you is against you.
Sometimes the very person pushing you outside your comfort zone is the person who sees what you’re capable of before YOU do.
You cannot expect to elevate your career while refusing to elevate your mindset. You have to be willing to learn, accept constructive criticism, change what isn’t working, invest in your education, and most importantly, KNOW YOUR WORTH AND CHARGE ACCORDINGLY!
Stop undercharging. Stop undervaluing your talent. Stop getting comfortable with just getting by. And stop allowing your ego to stand in the way of your success.
I’ve spent years behind the chair AND educating stylists across the country. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that talent might get you in the door, but your attitude, work ethic, and willingness to learn determine how far you’ll go.
As an educator, I can give you the tools, share my knowledge, and push you toward opportunities. But I cannot WANT your success more than you do.
Being coachable isn’t a weakness. It’s a BUSINESS ADVANTAGE. 🔥
And sometimes, as a mentor, I have to remind myself that I can plant the seeds, but I can’t force anyone to grow.
Stay humble. Stay hungry. Stay EDUCATED. And CHARGE YOUR WORTH! 🩷
