Daily Inspiration: Meet Mikayla Watts

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mikayla Watts.

Hi Mikayla, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have always been the type of person to be into keeping up my appearance and enjoyed it, however, I love being able to provide that same experience and service to my clients. It makes me very happy to see them happy, confident and feeling their best after getting serviced by me. I love to be the one to provide them with that experience. After getting my lashes done, I realized this was a service that I want to provide. So I decided to invest in myself and took a lash certification class. After my class, I continued to practice and took additional courses to perfect my skills and learn different techniques, styles, marketing, and tips. I strive to make every day a new learning experience.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Lashing is not as easy as people may think. It so much more to lashing rather than just sticking lashes to each individual eyelash. Some of the struggles I encountered are similar struggles that most first-time entrepreneurs come across, such as marketing, perfecting my craft, establishing clientele and learning what works for some may not work for me and that is okay because sometimes you have to find your own best practices.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am proud of how much my business has grown and my growing clientele. I am most proud that my clientele list includes returning clients and the skills I have been able to learn and get better at. It is very honoring to me that people have trusted and chosen me and love the experience they get with me, to the point that they come back.

Are there any books, apps, podcasts or blogs that help you do your best?
I read and finished the book “The Mountain Is You”. It is about transforming self-sabotage into self-mastery. Owning a business is hard and there are times where you may feel that you are not being your best and that is a form of self-sabotage. With this book, I was able to overcome self-sabotage and not downplay my skills and abilities and most importantly never give up.
