We get stuck in one room, we had nobody to communicate with, nobody to troubleshoot business with, to troubleshoot retention, nothing like that. So, you kinda feel stuck for a while because you don't have this relationship with those outside influences to be like "Dude it's okay.", "You got this!", "Try this." - Mo Hamil "So many beauty businesses, like they have the skills, they have the customer service, they know it, but they're just afraid of showing up and you can't be the best kept secret. People need to see you to trust you to connect with you. It has to be your point of view, your perspective, your education." - April Meese "Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. Reach out. With that simple message of "Hey girl! I've seen you and you're killing it! or "Hey! Welcome to the journey!". We should be all lifting each other up. They're just people. They're just like you and I. So the only way to get further is to put yourself out there." - Mo Hamil
