Business
This week on the podcast I am honored to have Mansi Somani, a full-time makeup artist sharing her journey from a more traditional career path to becoming a business owner in a creative space. Mansi Somani I first discovered Mansi on Instagram and the first thing I noticed was how NICE she was to EVERYONE. After we connected and started chatting, I realized it wasn't a front. She truly is a genuine sweetheart. There's no doubt she's a talented makeup artist, but it's her personality that is probably what's helping her grow even more. She has a knack for connecting with people even after knowing you for a short period of time. This special skill combined with her passion and talent for the beauty industry has helped her grow a successful business as a makeup artist. On the podcast she shares her experience in transitioning from her professional career to entrepreneurship. If you are someone who's been dabbling in makeup on the side and are too afraid to make the leap of faith, this is the episode for you. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: How she made the transition to entrepreneurship.How important it is to network with other makeup artists and vendors in the wedding business.The importance of relationship building in this business.What kind of training is necessary and is formal training even required?The challenges and process of actually starting a full-fledged business.Her recommendations for products every brown girl needs in her repertoire. As someone who had no insight to the world of beauty, I learned so much from Mansi. I hope you enjoy this episode and find value in her knowledge because I sure did.
