Do not give up; push through the work and the harder times to get to the other side of success.-- During the pregnancy of her 2nd child, Ashlee left her salon for a salon suite, decided to film her education and sell it, and out-earned her husband that year in the spire of pregnancy and delivering child #2!-- Maintaining financial discipline will enable you to manage your finances during emergencies...even a pandemic!-- When you are independent, but in all aspects of the hair industry, you have to do a good job to get a referral and continuously grow to be successful!-- You dream of good health, but you PLAN for the things you want.-- Do not let outside factors determine your worth or place in this world.
