    Marissa Liesenfeld, operations expert and former COO for multi-figure businesses, shares her insights on building effective teams and creating systems that allow beauty business owners to step into true leadership roles.

    • The biggest bottleneck in operations is often leadership not empowering team members to step into their unique abilities
    • When improving operations, focus on clear KPIs, efficient processes, and strong communication channels
    • Regular check-ins with team members (every two weeks) normalize feedback and prevent small issues from growing
    • When handling toxic team members, document specific examples of problematic behavior before having direct conversations
    • Employee handbooks serve as protective legal documents for both business owners and employees
    • Building a team creates both business stability and emotional support for owners who might otherwise feel isolated
    • Scaling with a team allows owners to decrease personal workload while increasing profitability

    Join us in Build Your 7 Figure Team to learn directly from Marissa and other experts who will help you build sustainable systems for your beauty business.

  • Knowing Your Numbers: The Silent Key to Entrepreneurial Success
    Aug 28 2025

    Join Build Your 7 Figure Team Today! Class Starts Sept 2nd @ 11am

    https://education.bossesinbeauty.com/build-your-7-figure-team-2025?ref=https%3A%2F%2Feducation.bossesinbeauty.com%2Fa%2F2148160954%2FFAHS2Lpc

    Celebrity financial advisor Rob Wilson shares how understanding your money can transform your business and create true financial freedom through smart investing and strategic planning.

    • Not knowing your numbers is the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make
    • Financial freedom means having passive income that covers major monthly expenses (around $10k/month for most)
    • Setting specific financial goals with exact dollar amounts and timeframes is crucial to success
    • Information about investing is readily available today - no longer an excuse not to learn
    • You can start investing with as little as $5 - begin with an amount you can afford to lose
    • Investing involves risk but offers tremendous upside through compound interest
    • View your business as a vehicle for investment, not just your sole income source
    • Hiring a team allows you to scale beyond creating "just a job for yourself"
    • Today's educational system creates employees, but entrepreneurship will be increasingly necessary

  • Part 2 - Should I Sell My Business?
    Sep 11 2023

    Have you ever wondered what it takes to sell a seven-figure business? Join us, Raya and Trae, as we pull back the curtain on our own journey, revealing the challenges and complexities we encountered. From an unexpected landlord dispute that threatened to upend our operation to the emotional rollercoaster of transitioning ownership, we lay it all bare. We share the critical lessons we learned, especially the importance of having the right clauses in contracts and choosing a buyer who values your team as much as you do.

    This journey wasn't just about the legal battles and business negotiations. It was a deeply personal experience that reshaped our identities and pushed us to our emotional limits. We explore the mental and emotional impacts of selling a business, from anxiety and stress to relief and newfound freedom. On the other side of the ordeal, we found the time and energy to grow our online venture and this podcast. We also discuss how we faced the realities of investing in an app, and the security of having a financial buffer.

    Our story isn't just one of struggle but also of resilience and determination. We closed this chapter of our lives with a single, transparent meeting where we announced the sale to our team. We believe in fostering an environment where everyone can express their feelings and understand the new dynamics. As entrepreneurs, it's important to always keep your big vision alive. Our experiences, insights, and practical advice will empower those contemplating a similar path. Buckle up for a raw, insightful, and enriching conversation.
