Hey Sheila, so great to meet you! As a serial entrepreneur, beauty ambassador, and mother, what does a day in your life look like?
Great to meet you too! I’m a big believer in never pouring from an “empty cup”. First thing in the morning I fill my cup. I love getting up early when everybody else is asleep moving my body, some prayer then reading a good book or listening to podcasts. Around 7 AM the kids wake up it’s time to get ready for school. At 9 o’clock we have a team meeting on zoom. 25 women strong from all over the United States and Canada.

Because I am smart it’s just not in any way that our society has a test to measure. That’s another great with her education system that I have to be honest. Doesn’t doesn’t measure different types of intelligence, only one.

What are the main challenges of being a beauty business coach?
The hardest thing about running a coaching program of this size for beauty business owners is really navigating the different personalities that we manage and keeping all 25 women connected. I have one goal, is to build a team that can fly on their own. Hire slow fire fast. Build a team that flies. All my girls are doers not just talkers. If they can’t fly they don’t belong here.
