How to Plan for Year-Round Success and Hit $500K in 2025
Welcome to the Beauty Industry Leaders Podcast, and the first episode of 2025 that’s all about taking your business to the next level. Today, I’m talking about one of the most important topics for any beauty entrepreneur—setting ambitious revenue goals and actually achieving them. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your busines, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to make those big dreams happen.
Let me share something exciting to kick this off—one of my businesses brought in $19,122.40 in December, while another hit a massive $170,330.01. These numbers didn’t just happen by luck. They’re the result of intentional planning, breaking down big goals into manageable steps, and staying consistent, even when things felt tough. Big goals might feel overwhelming, but trust me, when you map them out and approach them strategically, they become so much easier to tackle.
I’ll also walk you through exactly how to do this for your own beauty business. We’ll break your goals into monthly, weekly, and daily targets and figure out how to navigate the ups and downs of seasonal trends.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why setting specific and ambitious goals can increase your chances of success by 90%, it might feel scary, but it’s exactly what will push you to step up and make things happen.
- Retail can be a powerful income stream if your team is confident in recommending products. Regular training, personal experience with the products, and addressing money mindset issues are key to boosting sales.
- Tracking your progress isn’t just important—it’s everything. Knowing your numbers inside out gives you the clarity to course-correct and stay on top of your game.
2025 is the year to scale smarter, not harder. You’ve got everything you need to make this your most profitable year yet, so let’s freaking go! If you loved this episode, share it with your team or another beauty biz owner who needs to hear it. Now get out there and crush it! 💥
I want to empower women in the beauty industry to create an impact, build an empire, and leave their legacy!
