Business Coaching
with Shelby Alexandra
Hello There!
I am beyond thrilled that you’ve decided to take your business to the next level and drop the stigma of working over time, drowning yourself in coffee instead of nutrient filled foods and dealing with plain ol’ burnout!
You are a badass boss babe and it’s time to start creating a Business that is not only fulfilling for you but also a business that makes you the money you’ve always dreamt of without working a million hours a week.
In my early stylist days I was always the one who was asked to stay for the last minute client, because I never said the word “NO”. I was raised to feel guilty for saying this word! Clients came first and I needed to take any and every client because I was new. I needed to build that clientele to make that money. I was consistently working paycheck to paycheck and never being able to take a vacation in fear that I wouldn’t be able to pay my bills the next week. I worked in toxic environments where I was talked down to and felt that I wasn’t as good as the stylist who was working next to me. I was educating but I never felt that I was worthy enough to be teaching because my self-confidence was shot down every day. I was terrified to leave, in fear that I would never have a solid clientele again because the outside world was scary!
You guys, I worked like this for seven years!
I finally said enough was enough! I decided to take my career into my own hands and start running my own business, and inspiring Stylists from all over the world to fight for their dreams and to build up the confidence they need to do just that!
I started coaching students and leading them into avoiding all the mistakes I made in my career in hopes that they can pursue their business goals without the stress of not knowing where to start!
Still with me? Then let’s get into the knitty gritty!
My Story
I have been a stylist for over 16 years and when I say I have experienced and seen it all, I meant it!
I started my career at the young age of 15 years old, and took my first position at a corporate salon where I was run into the ground. I was over worked, under paid and wayyyyy under appreciated for the amazing stylist I knew I was!
After seven years, I jumped ship completely blind and went out as an independent stylist.
I have a confession…. I had NO idea what I was doing, but I knew failure wasn’t an option!
Fast forward to a year later, I opened my first salon.. again blindly. I aimlessly signed leases without truly knowing what negotiations were and what was in my contracts. This unfortunately hit me hard when four years later I was forced to shut down my salon after a horrendous flood that hit and destroyed mine and three other businesses around me. My lease did not play in my favor as I didn’t read the fine print when I signed, as most don’t. I was drowning in emails, dealing with legal teams and praying I’d make it through. All the while I was pregnant, expecting my first baby and being forced to shut down my location.
It hurt, and tore me down.
As freak of situation as this was [and I hope you never experience], it happens! This is when I decided that I never wanted anyone to go into something as life changing as owning a salon or suite without truly understanding the whole process.
