A Podcast, By Kayleigh.

In our finale episode of the Mini Mentorship, I discuss what the future looks like for your self development. I believe as business owners, we should never be done with developing, especially if we have goals that seem bigger than us. I never wanna leave my students hanging, so I talk about the next quarter of your business, how to continue developing for FREE and if you have investment behind you. I do touch on the next season of the mentorship, and what that entails, as well as my new course for coaches, community and courses. There's lots of options, not just in my space, and I explore it all, as well as giving actionable advice on how to spend investment money wisely. Join the next Season of the Mentorship here!

In our penultimate episode and module, I talk through the 4 reasons why I see makeup artists commonly NOT getting the level of bookings they would like, and I walk you through my 4 step process. There are usually 4 common things I see in the industry, from lack of memorability, lack of ideal client, lack of visibility and pricing issues, and today we talk through each of them! If you are looking to really up the ante on your bookings, THIS is the episode for you! I also walk you through warming up leads, and converting more leads into paid bookings. It's a really juicy one, and a fan favourite module in my mentorship! You're gonna walk away with so much action today - so grab those notepads.

Welcome back to the Mini Mentorship and boy... isn't it going fast! I really enjoyed recording this one for you guys, as I dissect my feelings around selling, what my selling journey has looked like and we can get over our selling ickkk. If you struggle to show up, to talk about your service and promote yourself, you're gonna find this one insanely valuable. I also touch on social media (it's a double week this week!) and how I improved my relationship with Instagram. Trust me, I am by no means Instagram's biggest fan - but I slowly have come to learn that you absolutely CAN create an experience that makes you leave feeling better than when you came. Let's dissect it!

In today's exciting episode, we focus on one of the more creative and makeup focused modules in the mentorship. This one is always a crowd favourite, because we go back to our reason why we are here - because we love makeup of course! In this episode I talk about my portfolio journey, from having a portfolio that I hated, to creating and curating one I eventually ended up loving and being booked consistently from. My portfolio ended up securing me jobs with Sony, Samsung, Lenovo, Nike, Adidas, and being featured on adverts around London tube stations. If you aren't in love with your portfolio, or aren't getting the work or visuals you want - this is a must listen! Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!

Welcome back to the mini mentorship - and one of the crowd favourite weeks! In this week of the mentorship, we break down 3 websites and what makes them absolutely contagious to prospecting clients. To translate that for the podcast, I give some tips of making the most of your website experience, and how you could be leaving money on the table. We discuss: - Where to start if you DON'T have a website - Why they are so crucially important - Tips for building a website and how to get over tech fear! - The power of the about page - A website VS a journey And loads more actionable tips. Strap in, get your drinks, it's a cosy one. Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram! Join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Level Up Club⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - Our monthly makeup artist membership!

Welcome back to this weeks episode and it's part 5 of our mini mentorship! This week is is Mindset Week, which typically happens slap bang in the middle of our mentorship together. The mentorship is mentally taxing and I won't lie - she's hard work. So in the middle we have a week of self care, self love and mindset. In this episode we touch on what it means to build up an unstoppable mindset, and have an inner cheerleader, as opposed to a harsh inner voice. We also touch on one thing that really helped my happiness and mindset - and that's setting boundaries! Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!

Welcome back to this weeks episode and it's part 4 of our mini mentorship! This week is my all time favourite week of the mentorship - CEO Week! CEO week holds a special place in my heart , I love teaching it every season, because and big because here - if you ONLY do one week from the mentorship and its this week, this is the week that delivers results! In this podcast episode we chat about my relationship with myself, my body, my self image. We talk about how that stopped me from showing up and stepping into my CEO mindset. We talk about looking after ourselves or the lack of it that many business owner fall into and we talk about how self love and self care are an important component of our CEO mindset. We also touch on the 3 thing I believe it takes to truly become a CEO. Consistency, discipline and yes, the H word. Hustle. It's a big episode, strap in!

Welcome back to this weeks episode and it's part 3 of our mini mentorship! In this episode (which is usually 1-1 week!) we are looking at branding. Usually in my 1-1 sessions with students, we break down their website, their instagram and their practises, to see if these are aligning with their ideal clients from week 1. A huge part of that lies with their branding, which is very often, the OPPOSITE, of what will attract their ideal client. That's the focus of this week in our mini mentorship. I break down what branding is, what it encompasses, and how we can brand better to attract our ideal clients instantly. We could be the perfect makeup artist for them - but our branding might be telling them otherwise. Let's align them in todays episode! Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!

Welcome back to this week's episode of the mini mentorship! In week 2, we dive ALL into money! Week 2 in the mentorship is a heavy one, probably our most time intensive and hard hitting. I have an entire 80 page workbook on formulas and the money metrics you need to be hitting, but that would be kinda hard to bring to the podcast! So this week, we dive into the mindset side of things. Mindset is half the work, and the hard work too. It's the work we can't underestimate, it's the very reason I'm sat here doing what I do. We talk about the 3 things I recommend you guys do, as part of your mini mentorship, to really jump start change when it comes to your profitablity. We look at mindset, revenue VS profit, and expenses as part of this week's mini mentorship. Dive in and grab those notebooks! Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!

In today's episode, we are starting an exciting new series!! Every year, alongside my mentorship programme, I also do a mini mentorship series where I go into each module of my 12 week course, and create a mini version for our community! Well this year, I thought - let's bring her to the podcast. In this mini series, every week you will be learning tidbits, tools, teachings and strategies from my mentorship programme. Each week will follow the modules I teach - and we are starting with IDEAL CLIENT. Ideal client is so so important, and forms the basis of almost every decision within our businesses. If you don't know your ideal client, how do you know how to market, how to talk to your customers, how do you make decisions if you don't know your WHO! Well today, we talk about it, including how I came to find my ideal client, who she is, why it's so important, what small hints you can get from your ideal client. We also look at the difference between soul mate clients, just clients, and unideal clients. It's a jam packed one - grab those notebooks! Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!

In today's honest episode, we talk to the lovely Becca Hentz. Becca is a true hype queen, very early on when speaking to Becca I could see just how much she loves empowering women through make-up and it was truly refreshing to see. We speak about the impact that being a make-up artist can have on clients and how it’s important to make the whole experience truly magical! We also dive deep into the misconceptions around making a career being a make-up artist. Becca and I talk openly about our parents and our need to make them proud with what we do, and advise others in similar situations on how to navigate through them. We also touch base on how Becca finds her confidence and the importance of putting yourself out there, if you feel uncertain about making certain moves, Becca is the one to talk you out of that mindset. It’s a very open, empowering chat and Becca does not hold back on her encouragement to push yourself! Follow ⁠Becca on Instagram. Follow ⁠⁠⁠Kayleigh⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram!
