Can I be real with you for a second?
If you’ve ever felt like you’re just going through the motions in your 9-to-5, waiting for the weekend to come, and feeling like it’s time to start your own beauty business—you’re not alone girl 🖤 Making the decision to start your own beauty business can be daunting, but the rewards are worth it.
I used to feel exactly the same way.
At 18, I was stuck in a job as a grocery store check-out girl, and I knew deep down it wasn’t making me happy. Every day felt like the same routine, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was meant for more. So, I took a chance on myself, and it turned out to be the best decision of my life.
If you’ve been wondering whether it’s time to make a change and start your own beauty business, here are 5 signs you need to pay attention to:
1. You Dread Going to Work
Let’s be honest. If the thought of waking up every morning and heading to your job feels more like a punishment than a paycheck, it’s time to listen to that feeling. Your work should bring you joy, not just pay the bills ⚖
Maybe your 9-to-5 job used to make sense—maybe it even felt right for a while. But over time, if it starts feeling like a chore, it’s a sign that you’re ready for more. When you start your own beauty business, you get to pursue your passion, work for yourself, and create a fulfilling career.
Imagine how it would feel to wake up every day and love what you do! Instead of counting down the hours until the weekend, you could be creating something truly yours that excites you every single day.
ACTION TIP: Take a moment to reflect on your current job. How do you feel when you think about it? Is it energizing or draining? If it’s draining, it’s time to think about what you really want in life.
2. You’re Passionate About the Beauty Industry
Do you find yourself obsessing over the latest beauty trends, watching makeup tutorials, or scrolling through Instagram feeds of lash artists and beauty influencers? If you’re already passionate about beauty, turning that passion into a business could be the best decision you ever make.
When you start your own beauty business, you have the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty industry you already love. Whether it’s doing makeup, nails, lashes, or skincare, you’ll never feel like you’re working because you’ll be doing something you genuinely enjoy.
Plus, being part of the beauty industry gives you the chance to connect with like-minded people, share your expertise, and grow a community of clients who appreciate your work. You’ll also have the creative freedom to innovate and bring your unique vision to life.
ACTION TIP: Start jotting down the things that you love most about the beauty industry. What excites you? What do you wish you could do more of? This can help you narrow down the exact type of beauty business you want to start.
3. You Want More Control Over Your Schedule
Tired of asking for permission to take a day off? Tired of working around someone else’s schedule? One of the biggest perks of choosing to start your own beauty business is the ability to set your own hours and design a flexible schedule. Many people choose to start their own beauty business because of the flexibility it offers.
Imagine not having to clock in or out or justify a day off. Whether you want to work around your kids’ schedules, take midweek vacations, or work evenings instead of mornings, being your own boss allows you to decide when and how you work. This kind of flexibility can be life-changing, especially if you’ve been stuck in a rigid 9-to-5.
When you start your own beauty business, you have the power to design your life. Whether you want to run a salon, offer mobile services, or work from home, you’re in complete control of your time. If flexibility and freedom are important to you, it’s time to start your own beauty business.
ACTION TIP: Visualize your perfect workday. What would it look like? Think about how having control over your schedule could enhance your life and well-being. This could be the push you need to make the leap.
4. You Know You’re Meant for More
Do you have that gut feeling? You know the one. It’s that voice deep inside you that’s whispering, “You’re not living up to your full potential.” If that resonates, it’s time to take a closer look at your career path.
When you start your own beauty business, you're stepping into a world full of limitless opportunities. You’re not tied to a specific role or title—you get to grow as much as you want. Your success is entirely in your hands. There’s no ceiling, no glass walls, and no limits on what you can achieve. If you believe you’re meant for more, it’s time to start your own beauty business. You can turn your dreams into reality and build a beauty empire.
Plus, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you built something from the ground up. Every step of the way, you’ll be learning, growing, and expanding not only your business but also yourself.
ACTION TIP: Spend some time thinking about where you are now versus where you want to be. If you feel like you’re not reaching your full potential, it’s time to take control and pursue the future you deserve.
5. You’re Ready to Take a Risk
Taking the leap from the 9-to-5 grind to start your own beauty business can feel scary—I get it! But staying in a job that doesn’t fulfill you can feel even scarier in the long run.
When I left my grocery store job to pursue my beauty business, I had no idea how it would turn out. But I took a risk, and it paid off. If you’re ready to bet on yourself, it’s time to start your own beauty business. Starting a business comes with challenges, but it also brings the possibility of freedom, creativity, and financial independence.
It’s natural to feel afraid of the unknown, but sometimes the greatest rewards come from taking the biggest risks. If you’ve been feeling the urge to bet on yourself, trust that voice. It’s time to go for it, girl!
ACTION TIP: Ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Fear of failure often holds us back, but once you confront that fear, you might realize the rewards far outweigh the risks.
