Community Highlights: Meet Emma Swenson of ButterflyyBlinx

Today we’d like to introduce you to Emma Swenson.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I was a college student at the time eager to level up & become my own boss. Even though I was in the process of getting my Bachelors in business, I knew little to nothing about how to actually run my own successful business & how much work it actually takes. I decided to finally take a leap of faith and invest in my future by launching my business in April of 2020. I am now a full-time entrepreneur as a successful lash tech who also helps other women get started on their own business ventures! There was a lot of trial and error to get to where I am today but I wouldn’t trade any of it. I’ve learned to see that putting your all into something that started from nothing is truly a beautiful process & the best thing I’ve ever done for myself.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t and won’t ever be easy but they say the best things come from some of the worst struggles. Being a full-time business owner is hard especially being someone in the servicing/beauty industry. I’m my own booking, marketing team, content creator, & not to mention the one performing the services on my clients. I do EVERYTHING on my own with no help from anyone but I love it. Of course, there are good days and bad days, some weeks where business is booming and others where you’re scared on what’s going to happen next and that’s just the harsh truth of entrepreneurship. I’ve learned that investing in yourself and your business is one of the main key components to being successful, it cost to be a boss! Through all the hardships came bigger & better things & I wouldn’t change a single thing!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about ButterflyyBlinx?
I’m a lash tech with an in home studio located in Atlanta. ButterflyyBlinx is so much more than just another lash business because I prioritize every client/customers needs by offering a variety of lash extension sets that accommodate each individual client & delivering top-quality services. Not to mention I host in person and online certification/refresher courses for future & existing lash techs! I also offer a variety of online Ebooks not just for lash techs but business owners in general based off of different topics to help people build their own business the right way.

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I would say the most surprising thing would be the fact that I’m only 20 years old. Whenever I tell someone my age, they gasp because of how much I’ve done & am doing for myself & my business.
