Where Are My Independent Beauty Pros with Lynzie Smith

Ok, Beauty insiders - this episode is a must listen if you are in the beauty industry!    My guest today is Lynzie Smith, an independent Hairstylist and Makeup Artist.    In 2012, Lynzie launched her business as an Independent Hair Stylist and Makeup Artist. While navigating the process of Entrepreneurship in the Beauty Industry, Lynzie began offering Coaching Services and hosting Networking Events and Workshops to other Beauty Professionals looking to leave the traditional structure of Salons and Spas and become Independent. In the process, she learned so much from the Artists she was coaching. This led to the idea of launching a Platform designed specifically for the Solopreneur in the Beauty Industry, providing a space for all members to contribute their success stories, ask for support, learn from one another, and easily network with others who've shared a similar journey! Independent Beauty Pros launched in April 2020, and quickly grew with a Community of Members of Independent Hair Stylists, Barbers, Makeup Artists, Manicurists, and Estheticians. IBP is inclusive to all Independent Artists in the Beauty Industry, because while the services offered may be different, the business requirements to be successful are the same. Creating this space for all Independent Artists also creates new opportunities for Cross Promotion and Referral.  As the Founder of IBP, Lynzie truly appreciates the hard work that goes into successfully building a business. Her passion for Networking and Education creates a truly collaborative approach to promoting others, she sees herself on this platform as an IBP Member. We each have something unique to share, and we'll always have more to learn!   Can you say POWERHOUSE?   Here is what we are talking about: - Building community and Filling the Gap in the Industry - Learning by Trial and Error - The importance of mentorship & coaching - The #1 way to have a fulfilled life - Multiple streams of revenue & Leaning into the Uncomfortable - Feeling Fear and Doing it Anyways - The power of partnerships
