Episode 068: What One Year of Business Can Look Like For You!
Tune In on Your Favorite Platform!
Have you been wondering what your henna career could look like one year out if you started today? In this episode of Hennapreneur, host Chelsea Stevenson is joined by two professional henna artists, Shawna Junior and Kate Blaubach to talk about their experiences early on in their careers and where their businesses are now.
Before going into the henna business, Shawna worked as a flight attendant. She started to realize she wanted a more flexible career that would give her time with her family. Initially, she started to work toward becoming a doula, but while doing that, Shawna realized she wanted to add additional services that would make pregnant women feel beautiful. This is how she found henna. Similarly, Kate’s full time career in healthcare also kept her busy and away from her family for long hours. She started to become burned out during the pandemic and realized she could be putting the same effort, time, and dedication into her own business instead of working for someone else and not getting the recognition and appreciation that she deserved. Both Shawna and Kate share that the keys to success were having a solid customer service foundation, finding the hennapreneur community, utilizing Chelsea’s accelerator class, being consistent, and believing in themselves.
Tune into this week’s episode of Hennapreneur for a conversation with host Chelsea Stevenson and special guests Shawna Junior and Kate Blaubach. Listen in as they share their individual journeys to becoming henna professionals and what they’ve been able to accomplish in a relatively short period of time.
