This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on the realities of starting and scaling a medical aesthetics practice. Fresh off the heels of my five-day SPARK Sprint intensive, I'm sharing insights from hundreds of conversations I've had with female entrepreneurs navigating today's shifting landscape, private equity roll-ups, increased restrictions, and the pressure of a contracting economy. I'll talk about why exceptional clinical skills alone aren't enough to guarantee business success and break down the hidden costs, time commitments, and mindset shifts required to truly thrive as an owner. From proof of concept and financial planning to leadership, team building, and the art of resilience, I'll walk you through the unglamorous but necessary steps behind creating a sustainable and profitable practice. Whether you're dreaming about launching your own business or reevaluating if now is the right time, this episode will give you clarity on the trade-offs, the opportunities, and the mindset you'll need to lead with confidence. Thinking about purchasing your ticket for ALT 2026? Our 3-day in-person experience for ambitious women in aesthetics and wellness is happening next spring.
