The idea of being “booked out” is often the epitome of success, especially for a solo aesthetician, but what does being “booked out” really mean?

For the next month?

Quarter?

What if you could actually be booked out a year in advance?

If the hairs on your neck just stood up, just wait ‘til you tune into this conversation with my guest on this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy, Katt Philipps.

Katt is a spa and beauty industry veteran with over 30 years experience, and is a spa owner, true solo aesthetician, e-commerce store owner, author, and most recently added to her resumé, spa industry educator.

Katt’s newest project, The Beauty Educator, serves as a platform to help beauty professionals maximize their profit potential by strengthening relationships with existing clients and showing others the ropes on how to build a business where you can be booked out a year in advance.

And as a spa owner and solo aesthetician with a proven track record for building and growing a multi-six-figure spa and being known by her clients as the most in-demand therapist in her area, Katt is here to spill her secrets on how she made it happen and how she continues to make it all work to support her clients with the best experience as well as her life with a true sense of balance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How Katt build up her books when first starting her business and how she quickly became so in demand that she couldn’t take on any new clients
Why she chose to go the route of staying solo and how she began structuring her system to keep her full book of clients happy and returning again and again
How her framework was born out of a need and the mindset shifts that surround her working structure as a booked out therapist who still continues to grow and scale as a solo year after year
Katt’s insights on structuring her schedule, work/life balance, and the “Email That Changed Everything”

leadership

In light of all of the events in 2020 (the pandemic, increased support of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, economic crisis), and how they all weave and converge together, in celebration of Black History Month in 2021, I wanted to feature three Black business owners who have made a profound impact in their industries, in my business, and on my own entrepreneurial journey.

While there is a vast amount of work to be done to break apart the forces of systemic racism and oppression, the array of events in 2020 will forever be a part of Black History, and to make the future brighter and more equitable, it’s crucial to continue supporting and sharing about Black-owned business.

So without further adieu, here are three entrepreneurs I’m honored to know and learn from, and I think you should, too.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Critical statistics surrounding Black women in the workforce and Black-owned businesses amidst the Covid-19 pandemic
Why amplifying the voices of Black-owned businesses is key to creating a more equitable future and economic landscape
Highlights on three entrepreneurs and how their genius can help you become a better leader, business owner, and aesthetician

leadership

Being a leader bears a lot of responsibility.

Your team is counting on you to lead them to the bigger dream and vision.

And even if you’re a solo aesthetician, you have to know how to be your own leader in order to grow, attract the kinds of clientele you seek, and scale should you have the desire to do so.

But here’s the thing — if you’re not clear on your values, vision, and how to use your voice to lead, that vision is going to stay in the distance.

Enter — Leslie D. Lyons.

Leslie is the Founder of Bombshell Movement Studio in Chicago, host of the Beyond the Pole: Tales from the CEO podcast, and a sales and leadership coach for female entrepreneurs.

With a background in corporate sales, youth ministry (yes, she’s a Christian and the owner of a pole studio!), and as a leader for studio owners throughout the U.S., Leslie has spent her life pouring into women emotionally and spiritually.

And now, more than ever, her dedication to helping entrepreneurial women lead with their heart and head is the exact type of leadership we need to see in the world.

Tune in as we talk about defining your values, finding your voice, and being an authentic leader — Leslie’s energy is infectious and I know you’re going to leave this episode feeling empowered and encouraged because I certainly did!

In this episode, we discuss:

Leslie’s journey to becoming a leadership coach and the common threads she’s found in her work with a wide variety of women in leadership roles
How women often let imposter syndrome stand in their way of what they really want and the difference between aspirational vs. innate values and the role they play in your leadership style
How Leslie uses the Enneagram personality assessment in her work to help her clients understand their natural tendencies in leadership
What it means to be a values-based leader and how your values and voice work together to rally your team and make you a magnet for your ideal clients and customers
