Because you can be in the beauty industry for 20yrs, but if you keep doing the same thing that you did 20 yrs ago, you have completely old information." - Mirka Pittnerova   "Don't regret something that has already happened. The past is past. Now is your time. Just start something now." - Mirka Pittnerova   "There are different levels of business. At the beginning, you are just in the make money stage, and then as you start to grow, you are in managing stage. You are managing your business on a different level. You're hiring people. There are different parts to it. Then as you start to scale, now you're into multiplying your income. And so multiplying your income might look like a new stream of revenue, which could be with products or courses, teaching, that type of thing. And that is going to give you some leverage in your business." - April Meese   " If you have that all package together, the convenience, the time saving you just made it so much easier for your client. So don't think of it as selling them something more. Think of it as providing them with more extras." - April Meese
