Today I’m excited to share my conversation with Elizabeth Jennings, a law assistant turned esthetician in Summerville, South Carolina.

Elizabeth now specializes in eyelash extensions, but also has a massage certification. And her business is booming. She is the kind of woman who knows what she wants, and goes for it. And I love that about her.

Today we’re talking about some of her success tips, the challenges she’s had to overcome in opening and running her own business, and of course the latest trends in the lash extension world.

If you’re a business owner looking for a little inspiration, this is a perfect episode for you. Thanks for listening!
