How to get a Free MBA in the Beauty Industry
Want to learn how to be like someone you admire? Study them.
When I first moved from suburbia to New York City and began my journey in the beauty industry, I decided to reverse engineer my career by emulating the paths of successful industry leaders. This approach proved incredibly valuable and allowed me to fast-track my journey to success.
Here's how you can skip the long road of degrees and MBA courses and create your own path for free.
Step 1: Research on LinkedIn
Look on LinkedIn for someone you admire and study their profile. Analyze their wins and challenges to understand their journey. Learn about their education and career path.
Step 2: Follow Their Path
Mimic their path by identifying the steps they took to achieve success. This step is often skipped but is essential for accelerating your journey.
Step 3: Recreate and Learn
Recreate their successes and learn from their challenges. It's not easy, but if you can do it, you'll:
Understand what it takes to reach the top.
Build your network like they did.
Develop a path for solving problems and achieving your goals.
Additional Tips:
Action 1: Don't hesitate to reach out to people on LinkedIn or social media. Ask about their journey and success in their niche.
Action 2: Research their career. Look up articles and podcasts that highlight their challenges and successes.
Action 3: Subscribe to their newsletters, websites, or blogs. Find out where they're active so you can follow their journey.
Action 4: Don’t be afraid to ask someone for coffee. Many people will say yes and want to connect with like-minded individuals.
Remember:
If you don't try, you won't succeed.
If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
What have you got to lose? Nothing. What do you have to gain? Everything.
