Six months into her personal styling business, Michelle Loo had done everything most stylists think they're supposed to do. She had training. She had systems. She had clients who were strangers, not just friends doing favors.On paper, the foundation was there, but the business still wasn't behaving like a business that could replace a corporate salary. The missing piece wasn't styling skill. It was learning how to sell, how to market herself, and how to believe her work was worth twice what she had been charging.In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, Michelle shares what actually happened when she started confronting the parts of business that feel personal.
