It was kind of a hidden thing. I saw some white space and jumped in!” (Kay) • “It’s crazy how we play small with ourselves versus saying, ‘I’m going to work for myself and have my own brand.’ ” (Ronne) • “The beauty industry is the most lucrative industry. There is so much money!” (Ronne) • “As women we want to be successful but, as I always say, success is a very small portion of your happiness.” (Ronne) • “I never regret any of my experiences because I always come out on top by learning something.” (Kay) • “When you’re looking for somebody, you’re going to be so … thirsty for a relationship or companionship when really we just have to learn to be content with ourselves. And just be patient, because you don’t want someone that’s not for you.” (Kay) • “When I saw that next level of success I wanted to tell more people about it so they could also be successful.” (Kay) • “Once I got out of the (bad) relationship, it’s like my mind just opened up!” (Kay) • “If you’re going to be successful you have to promote yourself!” (Ronne) • “It doesn’t matter what type of business you’re in, if you develop (a strong) relationship with your clients … Those little acts of kindness go a very long way.” (Ronne) • “Content is currency. Without content, it’s like, is it really happening? If you’re not capturing the moment it’s like it didn’t happen.” (Kay) • “Give (your business) all that you have and then I promise it gets easier because it starts to work on your behalf.” (Kay) • “Allow your business to push you into the next level … Allow it to grow and push you into that space where you’ve got enough income coming in that it’s time to transition out.” (Ronne) • “Sometimes you just have to wait until it’s your time … Sometimes it’s your time to not expect recognition, edification, applause. Just do the work and eventually it will be your time.” (Ronne) If you enjoyed this episode text us your favorite quotable 202-410-2903 About Ronne:A brand expert, podcast host and TedX speaker, Ronne went from being a single mom mopping floors as a janitor to becoming a successful business owner and influencer.

KEY TOPICS: (01:00) Welcome to the pod and a little bit of background about Kay, her business and journey.(02:18) Why Kay made mastery her first priority as a stylist – a commitment that paid huge dividends when she showcased that expertise in a YouTube video and it took off!(03:30) Tip #1: Stay on it! Because she pushed herself to get licensed as a cosmetology instructor, Kay was qualified and ready to go when online teaching caught fire during Covid.(04:30) Getting into the Beautiful Backstory:• Kay started doing hair about 13 years ago and bounced around in various jobs.• As a single mom of two, an independent, sustainable source of income was key.• From “zero clients, zero dollars,” Kay was all about self-empowerment.• Wanting the “fairy tale” sparked an eye-opening relationship that left her vulnerable.(07:30) Tip #2: Check your thirst! When it comes to launching relationships, look for those red flags and always keep self-love at the forefront and your whole “self” intact.(10:15) Ronne and Kay dig into mythmaking and the way we are raised, starting as little girls, to feel incomplete unless and until the fairy tale prince shows up.(11:10) Tip #3: Keep your head straight and surround yourself with people who are likeminded. You can check all the boxes, but learning to love yourself (and be okay on your own) attracts everything else you want in life – especially a solid and loving partner!(13:14) Can you really be happy single? Yes. Kay has experienced it! Far from thirsty, she was turning people down. And by focusing on her whole self, she was preparing for her right person.(14:05) Tip #4: Your partner isn’t going to be your everything and not every day is going to be great, so dig in and understand: Relationships are hard. Life is hard. And it’s okay!(15:00) How Covid19 gave Kay the invaluable break that she needed to get quiet, hear from God and regroup to change her business “completely for the better.”(15:35) All About Kerri Alston Hair:• #1 online training platform for luxury hair extensions.• Luxury extension training certifications.• Access to KA Beauty Pro Wholesale Buyer’s Club Membership.(17:00) About Kay’s mission to help other stylists tap into the billion-dollar beauty industry and reach beyond self-limiting beliefs about “only” being a service provider!(18:30) Notes from the owner of a seven-figure business.

There's enough outside of us that we all have to combat on a day-to-day basis. We don't have to do that within.” “Rejection is going to happen to everybody, it just is, including people who you see on TV, rejection happens every day, including CEOs, including all of us.
