IF YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE, YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR NUMBERS Whether you’re a hairstylist, barber, nail tech, massage therapist, esthetician, makeup artist, beauty professional, or anyone building a service-based business, being talented at what you do is only one part of creating a successful business. I’m Damarys, and I’ve spent over 30 years in the beauty industry, including years as a salon owner. I’ve learned firsthand that being busy doesn’t always mean you’re building a profitable business. That’s why I created The Cosmetology Success Blueprint. And despite the name, many of the tools and principles inside can be helpful for any service-based professional who wants to better understand the business side of what they do. Inside, you’ll work through things like: - Your income goals - What you need to earn per hour - Your pricing - Your business expenses - Your available working hours - Your goals and future plans - A realistic blueprint for moving forward - My goal is simple: to help you stop guessing and start understanding your numbers so you can make more confident decisions about your business. If you’re providing a service and wondering, “Am I charging enough? Am I actually making money? What would it take to reach my goals?” — start here. The Cosmetology Success Blueprint is available now inside the Classroom. Go to the Classroom and get started. https://www.skool.com/second-stream-society-4320/about?ref=051090ddd6314f76a9b3aa20d029540c

You’ve spent years building a life, taking care of responsibilities, and showing up for everyone else. But maybe you’ve reached a point where you’re asking: What’s next for me? You know you want something of your own. Something modern. Something you can learn and build online. Something that gives you a renewed sense of purpose—and potentially creates an additional stream of income. The problem? The online world can feel overwhelming. Digital products. Affiliate marketing. UGC. Amazon reviews. Automation. Online businesses. Which one should you actually choose? That’s why I created The Online Income Lab. This is a community for midlife women who are ready to explore what’s possible, learn new digital skills, and begin building their next chapter. Instead of assuming there’s one online business model that works for everyone, you’ll have an opportunity to discover which direction may fit you.

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Finding the right digital path for YOU shouldn’t feel overwhelming. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that there isn’t one digital marketing path that works for everyone. We all have different goals, different schedules, different strengths, and different ways of learning. What works for someone else may not be the right fit for you—and that’s okay. That’s a big part of what my community is about. It’s a place to learn, explore, ask questions, and figure out what makes sense for you without feeling like you have to follow someone else’s exact blueprint. Maybe you want to learn affiliate marketing. Maybe you’re interested in creating your own digital products. Maybe you want to build a personal brand or grow a business you already have. The first step is getting clear on your path. I created a quick quiz to help you discover which digital direction may fit your goals, lifestyle, and learning style. Take the quiz in the Classroom 👇 Your journey doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. Let’s find the path that feels right for you. https://www.skool.com/second-stream-society-4320/about?ref=051090ddd6314f76a9b3aa20d029540c
