In Episode 70: The View from 30,000 Feet, we sit down with Laura Crowley, Licensed Aesthetician, Founder & CEO of Laura Jeannette and Co.  Laura takes us through her successful transition from entrepreneurial Aesthetician to Practice Consultant propelled by her passion for skincare and her desire to help others capitalize on industry growth. Laura talks with us about how she made the leap from front desk girl in her teens to a 20 year career in Aesthetics where she's known for providing one of the best facials in all of Massachusetts!   After several years in practice as an Aesthetician, she moved into a concurrent Director of Education role, and her passion for helping others grow, develop and scale their skill sets and their businesses came into focus. She started Laura Jeannette and Co. to guide other aesthetic professionals as they grow their business through training, education and consulting for dermatology, plastic surgery offices and Medspas. As her own Practice embarks on an expansion and rebrand, she's also coaching Practice Owners across the country as they do the same.  In this episode, Laura shares her insight on how she helps businesses and business owners transform from “surviving to thriving” by offering a 30,000 foot view of the entire enterprise from sales and marketing to operations, patient experience and human resources.  Just as an Aesthetician provides a consultation before recommending treatment, she works intensely with her clients upfront to understand what they want to get out of this next growth step before rolling up her sleeves and getting to work. Is it money, building a legacy, boredom, or something else? Equipped with that info, she helps them build their practice by design- creating the management processes and operations that enable them to achieve their goals and live the lifestyle they desire. In this episode, Laura talks about: How to leverage social media to target the RIGHT audience with the RIGHT message When to delegate and outsource so you can free up your time to focus on the big rocks The benefits of hiring virtual assistants to help you along the way and take on tasks that aren't strategic or urgent How to educate your staff on new treatments and products and make it “stick” long term with excellent training How to think about your retail strategy, limiting your SKUs, and being smart about your inventory costs We also take a few minutes to discuss what it means to be a working mom in this industry and the reality of really trying, often failing and constantly living with “Mom guilt” when attempting to balance it all. If you are an aesthetics business owner that wants to stop guessing and start growing and you are looking for a business coach to take you to the next level, this episode is for you!  Learn more about how Laura can help you level up: www.laurajeannetteandco.com.  Follow Laura on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurajeannetteandco/

In this installment of the Vet Tech Cafe, we interview Beth Armstrong, CVT, RVT, CFE, CCFP, CTP, who is now a Practice Consultant for AAHA.  Our paths first crossed with Beth in 2013 when we were all in the same study group for the AVECCTN exam (best study group of all time, IMO).  It was great to catch up and hear what she's been doing, as her career has taken a very different path from ours since that time.  As May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth we continue our discussions with those that are helping to decrease the stigma that surrounds the issue.  We'd also like to wish Beth a happy birthday, as this episode is being released on her birthday-so make sure to say Happy Birthday in the comments and show her some support by downloading her episode!  Lastly, we want to thank AAHA for their generous support of this episode-when they heard Beth was going to be coming by the Vet Tech Cafe for a cup of coffee, they stepped up to sponsor this episode so you'll hear a roughly 20-second ad near the middle.  We'll be talking about AAHA's culture initiative as well, which aims to promote a healthy workplace culture in their hospitals.   https://www.aaha.org/practice-resources/healthy-workplace-culture/ https://www.aaha.org/aaha-guidelines/2020-aaha-anesthesia-and-monitoring-guidelines-for-dogs-and-cats/anesthesia-and-monitoring-home/ https://www.calm.com/?url=https://www.calm.com/&pid=google&af_channel=g&af_c_id=1603556317&af_adset_id=61837906998&af_ad_id=378906119400&af_sub_siteid=&af_keyword=calm%20app&af_sub3=e&af_sub4=Cj0KCQjws_r0BRCwARIsAMxfDRjMYNnWt_M0uqVzQ_Tu_L7o2cwxJSjMW95PW6SvbyFOgnvc4tFtItMaAmX6EALw_wcB&af_sub5=&utm_medium=paid&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=1603556317+61837906998+378906119400&utm_content=homepage&utm_term=calm%20app&gclid=Cj0KCQjws_r0BRCwARIsAMxfDRjMYNnWt_M0uqVzQ_Tu_L7o2cwxJSjMW95PW6SvbyFOgnvc4tFtItMaAmX6EALw_wcB https://science.howstuffworks.com/science-vs-myth/extrasensory-perceptions/hypnosis.htm https://www.headspace.com/meditation-101/what-is-meditation

Today’s guest is a great example of a physician in a seemingly awesome career who chose to pivot out of medicine completely. He left a very lucrative field, plastic surgery, and moved into consulting. But it was not an easy transition. And we get to hear all about it in today’s fascinating interview. George Huang completed his medical degree at Wayne State University School of Medicine. He went on to do a general surgery residency at the University of Health Sciences/The Chicago Medical School, and a plastic surgery residency at the Medical College of Wisconsin. After he retired as a board-certified plastic surgeon at the age of 40, he hung out his shingle as a professional business coach. But other than a “shingle,” he had no business cards, website, blog, business contacts, or success stories. In spite of this, he created an annualized six-figure revenue stream in 73 days and then doubled it by the end of the year. Now, with his guidance, systems, and strategies, others have achieved the same. Through his company, Freedompreneur M.D., George helps dedicated holistic physicians accelerate their reach, cash flow, and profitability.
