KEY TAKEAWAYS:

🔅Following your passion and pursuing those interests are the only ways to accomplish your goals.

🔅Life is all about getting back up when you fall down, and hair kept calling her to come back.

🔅Getting new clients as an independent niche creator is a constant effort of putting her work out there, collaborating with others, and producing her own shoots.

🔅Clients will buy her creations, and at other times, they will tell her what they want her to create, and it's more like a client in your chair telling you what they want.

🔅Shannon enjoys working with clients in collaboration as well as creating what she wants.

🔅Getting clients means getting to know your ideal client and your existing clients.

🔅Being an entrepreneur and building your business means understanding what opportunities to take and what not to take; be careful turning down opportunities.

🔅Work-Life Balance Does Not Exist. Work is part of your life, just like family and friends. Success in goals and pursuing your passion means learning to intertwine, juggle, and task-switching between work, family, rest, friends, community, etc.

🔅Practice, Practice, Practice: Never practice what you just learned in a class on a paying client. Always practice on mannequins and models before using new tools and techniques.

🔅Clients should like the product they get and Shannon does not want anyone to pay her for something they do not like.
