158. Amber Kwong's Journey From Being A Salon Manager to Going Solo & Becoming Lash Trainer

How patient are you? A little? A lot? It seems in the age of Instagram, patience can be difficult to find. Everyone wants 100K followers overnight and wants to make 6 digits in their business in their first year. I get it...waiting for life to unfold can suck. In today's episode, we sit down with Amber Kwong of Makeup Memories who shares wisdom from her lash over decade-long lash journey. One of the things that impressed us about Amber was her patience. She knows what she wants and is willing to put in the time to make it happen. We were impressed with Amber's attitude and approach to her business and we're sure you'll find inspiration from her story too.
