E71. "I Nearly Packed It All In" Emma's $75k Beauty Business Comeback Story

from Beauty Business School · host Kimberley Haworth

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I sit down with Emma, a registered nurse of 14+ years who completely changed her life in 2021 when she discovered the power of cosmetic medicine and skin - first as a client, then as a practitioner. What started as a $1,000 bank balance and a dream turned into a thriving solo clinic in Redcliffe, a $75,000+ revenue increase in just 12 months, and signing her very first commercial lease. But it wasn't always this way. Before joining Beauty Business School, Emma was juggling two jobs six days a week, second-guessing herself constantly, and wondering if she should just go back to nursing for good. The financial pressure was real. The self-doubt was real. And the path forward felt anything but clear. Then she decided to bet on herself and everything changed. In this episode we talk about: → Why Emma left a high-level nursing career to start over in beauty (and why she has zero regrets) → The reality of marketing an injectable business in today's regulatory landscape in Queensland → How she grew revenue by over $75k in 12 months while raising four kids → Leaving her nursing role entirely and going all in on her business → The identity shift that happens when you level up and why it's supposed to feel hard → What's next: a brand new commercial shopfront and her first overseas trip (hello, Bali retreat!) This one is emotional, honest, and full of real talk about what it actually takes to build a beauty business from scratch. Grab your fave drink and get ready to feel all the feels and get seriously inspired. Find Emma: https://www.instagram.com/bae_aesthetic_studio/ Are you looking to level up your salon in 2026?
