If youâre new here, let me reintroduce myself! Hi, Iâm Ana B, founder of Makeup by Ana B and MAB Artistry. 𩷠I donât know everything but Iâve figured a few things out along the way and I always like to share what Iâve learned.
If youâre in that âwhatâs next?â phase, I made something for you. Drop âARTISTâ below and Iâll send it your wayâthis might be the shift youâve been needing â¨.
Nothing will humble you faster than being a business owner. One minute you feel on top of the world⌠and the next youâre questioning everything.
Honestly, managing my emotions has been one of the hardest parts of this journey. Iâm hard on myself when things go wrong, and it can be really easy to want to give up.
But what keeps me going is knowing that if I keep building, I can create opportunities for someone else who just needs a chance to get started.
Whatâs one thing youâre struggling with right now as a business owner or artist? Iâm working on something that I hope will help answer a lot of these questions.
But every makeup artist should THINK like a business owner. đŻđŻđŻ
You should only consider building a team if:
1ď¸âŁYou enjoy managing people and are willing to provide consistent training, professional development and opportunities for your team.
2ď¸âŁYou like putting others in the spotlight and building their careers.
3ď¸âŁYou are willing to be responsible for both their wins and their losses within your company.
4ď¸âŁYou enjoy building community and are willing and able to constantly market and provide direction for your team.
If none of this sounds appealing to you, you can STILL build a successful business as a makeup artist with multiple income streams. Follow for more on this! đ
Working with another makeup artist is part glamâŚpart therapy session đđ¤
But honestly, this is the part people donât talk about enough.
This job can feel stressful sometimesâŚearly mornings, long days, high expectations.
And what you need most isnât always another bookingâŚitâs someone who gets it.
Community in this industry is everything. Tag your favorite artist to catch up with! đŤś
You can have the best content in the worldâŚ
but relationships are what actually grow your business.
Make it a priority to build new connections every week.
Show up. Introduce yourself. Stay top of mind.
Because people do business with people they like, know, and trust. đ¤
