97: Is Continuing Education Necessary or Worth It?

Is continuing education actually worth it... or just another thing beauty pros feel pressured to invest in? In this episode, I share my own real-world journey through lash trainings, trial-and-error, and that moment I realized, years in, that there were skills I desperately needed but never got in school. (Spoiler: It wasn’t more lash maps.)

I also open up about what I wish I’d done differently, how to know when it’s time to invest in a course (and when it’s not), and what kind of education really helps you stand out - not just in your skills, but in your income, freedom, and confidence as a solo beauty business owner. Plus, I give you a peek into the Lash Biz Babes Conference and why it’s become such a full-circle moment for me.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• What’s missing from most beauty school curriculums?
  
  
• How to figure out what kind of education you need next
  
  
• Can the right course actually fast-track your income?
  
  
• What should you ask before signing up for any class or coaching?
  
  
• How bad habits (in biz or technique) holding you back
  
  
• What’s one mindset shift that could change everything?

If you’ve been debating whether that next training or business course is worth the money (or just feeling overwhelmed by all the options), this one’s for you.
