Are you trying to solve a problem that isn’t actually relevant to your business right now? Every stage of business comes with its own set of challenges—no matter how long you’ve been a stylist. But when you focus on the wrong problems at the wrong time, running your business gets harder, and self-doubt creeps in fast.

In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, we’re breaking down the three stages of building a personal styling business and why understanding which challenges belong to each phase is the key to avoiding burnout and staying on track. I’ll walk you through what to focus on at every stage—so you can stop spinning your wheels, sustain real growth, and build a business that actually works for you.

6:04 - Why you need to gain real styling skills before launching (plus the key milestones to hit in pre-launch)
11:16 - The one rule I learned as a personal stylist that will shock even seasoned pros
13:43 - Who you should work with first (and what you need to learn) to build a strong skill set in phase one (Mastery)
18:55 - The most important factors for creating stable income and consistently attracting the right styling clients in stage two (Growth)
