The Conscious Salon
Our first mentoring experience
Welcome to the Conscious Salon podcast! Today, I'm flying solo to share a deeply personal and transformative story about our journey into mentorship, self-development, and self-discovery. Tess and I founded Melbourne's first mindful salon 12 years ago with no experience, no money, and no clients. Despite numerous challenges and skepticism from others, we built a successful business through sheer hustle and an unwavering commitment to providing an exceptional client experience.
However, our turning point came when we invested in a mentorship program despite severe financial strain. This leap of faith completely transformed our business strategies, financial management, and personal lives. The mentorship not only provided us with essential business skills but also deeply impacted our self-belief and leadership qualities. Over time, we've continually engaged with various mentors—covering business, mindset, nutrition, and even credit card points—helping us to grow both personally and professionally.
We now thrive with a team of six, operate a comprehensive personal development program, and enjoy a level of freedom and flexibility we never imagined possible. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to explore mentorship, take risks, and believe in your potential to create an expansive and inspiring life. Thank you for joining me on this reflective journey. Stay conscious!
