Are you in a disappointing and frustrating situation right now? Do you have a goal but failed to win it? Do you feel stuck and struggling to find your purpose? Believe me, when I say, you are not alone. I have had my share of bad experiences, but what I didn’t know was those experiences prepared me for the best opportunities to come. More life lessons are around every corner in business and when they come I am ready, and that’s’ what makes success sweeter.
In this episode, I’ll talk about my story with my humble beginnings – from working in the mail room licking envelopes to making phone calls to buy television commercial ad space to appearing on national TV. How I transcend from one chapter in my life is as exciting as the lessons that I got from them. This is my amazing journey as a beauty entrepreneur. I hope that you’ll learn nuggets of wisdom from this that you can apply as you travel on you own path of being a beauty professional.
“Honor your journey because one step leads to the next step, and you never know where it's going to take you.”

Key Takeaways:
“If you're doing something right now and you're feeling a little bit uncomfortable if you're feeling so much work or you're just feeling frustrated, know that you are learning lessons. And these lessons are what you're going to use in the future. And so, your mess will be your message, and your test will be your testimony.” – April Meese
“We all face struggles. We all feel like a failure. There's always something that will happen where you don't feel like you measure up. But I want to tell you that you don't know what's around the corner.” – April Meese
“My lesson for you is no matter what you are facing on your beauty business path. Know that you've done so much to get yourself here. And you don't know what skills you've already acquired and the knowledge that you acquired, and how that will help you in the future.” – April Meese
“And one of my mentors likes to say that there are no failures. There are only moments of clarity and growth because when you don't get the results you want, you get the lesson.” – April Meese
