Don't Forget The Journey

This is how Salon 705 looked when I first signed my lease in July vs. how it looks today.


 



This is how Salon 705 looked when I first opened.

I think it is so easy to see someone's success but many fail to see the struggles and the journey it took to get there. My salon started as a stuido salon in the apartment above my garage. I had a used, uncomfortable salon chair and plastic waiting chairs from Ross but it was mine and I worked harder for that salon than I had ever worked for anything.





When I made enough money to upgrade my equipment I swapped out my salon chair for a nicer one and slowly the salon looked better and better.





It has taken six years to get to this space. Six years of relentless hard work.

Never forget the journey that lead to the place you are at now. I am so guilty of this. It is easy to say but hard to do. I put my head down and work but never look back at how far I have come. I'm in the constant grind but never in a state of gratitude.

Self reflection is powerful. You realize just how much you have accomplished and that the only thing holding you back from your future goals is YOURSELF. Once you get out of that headspace you realize nothing can stop you.
