In this episode of Aesthetic Advantage Podcast, the host—founder of Glosshouz Spa Center—shares her personal view of entrepreneurship, and makes a compelling case for why owning your own business can transform your life.

1. Freedom & Autonomy Owning your own business gives you control over your time, your purpose, and your destiny. Rather than trading hours for dollars, you build something that works for you—ideally with a strong team so you’re not chained to day-to-day operations.

2. Unlimited Income Potential As the business grows, your earnings aren’t capped by salary structures. The host herself achieved a fivefold income increase compared to her engineering salary. Businesses can also be sold or passed on as legacy assets.

3. Tax & Financial Advantages Business ownership offers numerous deductions (from travel, supplies, home office, investments) and retirement vehicles that can significantly enhance how much of your income you keep. You also gain leverage for borrowing and future investment.

4. Personal & Professional Growth Entrepreneurship forces growth: you’ll develop leadership, decision-making, problem-solving, emotional resilience, and strategic thinking. You become more than someone executing tasks—you become a visionary, mentor, and influencer.

5. It’s Fun & Fulfilling The host emphasizes that business is not just work—when it’s your own, it becomes a creative, exciting endeavor. The daily challenges, variety, and progress are part of what makes entrepreneurship deeply satisfying.

6. Addressing Common Objections & Myths

   • Risk vs. salary security: she argues staying in a complacent job is often riskier in the long term.

   • What about failure? Instead of fearing it, ask “What if I succeed?”

   • Time commitment: there’s heavy investment at the start, but it should ease as systems mature.

   • Lack of business experience? These skills are learnable—and franchises or coaching models can help.

   • Which business to choose? Go with something you’re passionate about. That passion helps you persevere through hard times.

7. Practicalities of Starting The host details the investment requirements and financing options for a Glosshouz Spa Center franchise (ranging from ~$400K to ~$1.4M depending on size). Options include SBA loans or rollover strategies (ROBS). Finally, she encourages listeners to do their homework—business plan, projections, research—then take action decisively.

This episode is especially powerful for those in—or considering entering—the beauty, wellness, or medical aesthetics industries, but its insights are broadly applicable to any entrepreneurial path.
