Are you running a styling business built on referrals and SEO alone? Then you’re risking your livelihood in a constant game of Russian roulette.
Many personal stylists (especially those with early success) fall into the trap of relying exclusively on referrals or search engine optimization for business growth. While it's certainly nice to have client recommendations and traffic from word-of-mouth and Google, this can leave your business and your income at the mercy of factors outside of your control.
In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist podcast, I’ll highlight why, despite being able to get to six figures using this strategy, it often leads to inconsistent income, frustration, and exhaustion. I’ll show you what you need to do to truly succeed and feel in control of your styling business.

5:13 – The root cause of my reliance on word-of-mouth and why it was a selfish act
7:19 – Why relying on referrals or SEO doesn’t guarantee you’ll gain the right clients
9:58 – Why your messaging still matters, even with strong word-of-mouth
