31 Teri Eastin – Pursuing Your Beauty Biz Dream

Lori Crete - The Beauty Biz Show 500

Today I’m excited to introduce you to a powerful, inspiring esthetician, Teri Eastin. Teri joined one of my coaching programs about 5 years ago, and I’ll never forget our first conversation about why she was thinking about quitting the beauty biz and getting a “real job.” Listen in to hear what happened to create a shift in her mind and made her step forward into her own success.

Her story is so inspiring. She has built a truly amazing business: she is pretty much booked solid, is super successful, and specializes in something that makes her excited to see clients every day. Today we’re talking about the value of owning your business boundaries, why you should take the leap and pursue your passion, and creating awesome results for your clients.

I also want to remind you there are a few days left to sign up for the Beauty Biz Success 60 Day Challenge, a program to help you and challenge you to do better and play bigger in your beauty biz practice. It’s packed with information including some of my best trade secrets, field tested and proven systems, and tips on how to attract more clients, get more referrals, and increase the profits in your practice.
