for you tune in all right y 'all we're tuning
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.100
for another episode uh back that radio show this
00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:42.439
is music in business talking today you know i'm
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:44.369
saying we're going to pivot it a little bit So
00:00:44.369 --> 00:00:47.750
your story, from what I've done with my research,
00:00:48.549 --> 00:00:51.049
born in Vietnam and then came up to the States
00:00:51.049 --> 00:00:56.009
with your parents, in California, went into,
00:00:56.170 --> 00:01:00.109
and I'm putting everything in a nutshell, I guess,
00:01:00.689 --> 00:01:04.870
went to a fashion school or at least got a formal
00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:08.409
education in it, did that through the corporate
00:01:08.409 --> 00:01:12.200
process. felt a little burnt out or where your
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.140
creativity was being stifled and then you shifted
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:19.599
your focus into the beauty. Is that fair to say?
00:01:19.900 --> 00:01:22.540
Yeah, in a nutshell, I've probably reinvented
00:01:22.540 --> 00:01:25.519
myself many times and took a few side quests
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.379
along the way. I went from, you know, college
00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:31.780
dropout to corporate sales to becoming a fashion
00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:34.340
designer and then ending up doing sales and marketing
00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:37.219
for fashion. I became a certified yoga instructor
00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:39.420
halfway through the fashion career because I
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:41.400
was feeling really burnt out and I didn't have
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.299
anything to help me with my anxiety because fashion
00:01:44.299 --> 00:01:48.799
can be pretty brutal and demanding. And me never
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.519
taking a yoga class before decided I was gonna
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.140
go learn how to become a yoga teacher. And that
00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.519
was a really interesting... side quest because
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.719
it actually gave me a lot of the soft skills,
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.140
the mental strength and the spiritual strength
00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:08.860
to become an entrepreneur, become a permanent
00:02:08.860 --> 00:02:10.879
makeup artist, and have the patience and discipline
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:15.180
to tattoo people's faces and build the business
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:18.039
around it. So even though I didn't become a yoga
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.939
teacher, that was probably the last transition
00:02:20.939 --> 00:02:24.000
before I went into permanent makeup, but it was
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.009
a pretty transformative experience. know where
00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:32.150
life takes you and what your endeavors, where
00:02:32.150 --> 00:02:35.449
your endeavors will lead you. So why was it permanent
00:02:35.449 --> 00:02:37.889
makeup that appealed to you as opposed to anything
00:02:37.889 --> 00:02:40.930
else that could at the time? You know at the
00:02:40.930 --> 00:02:43.210
time when I was thinking about leaving the fashion
00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:46.719
industry, I was leaving because I felt, like
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.199
you said, my creativity was stifled. I wasn't
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.539
creatively expressing myself in the way that
00:02:52.539 --> 00:02:55.139
I wanted to for work. And I wanted to do something
00:02:55.139 --> 00:02:58.360
that really made an impact or helped people directly.
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.620
And I didn't know what that was at the time.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.800
And I wanted to leave corporate in general. I
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.979
just wanted to do something different. And I
00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:09.719
didn't know it was going to be permanent makeup,
00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:15.750
but somebody told me about it and I Became really
00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:17.969
interested in it also because I love fashion
00:03:17.969 --> 00:03:20.949
I love beauty and Eyebrows was one thing that
00:03:20.949 --> 00:03:23.030
I had been obsessed with since I was young because
00:03:23.030 --> 00:03:25.430
I had really bad brows and tweezed them all to
00:03:25.430 --> 00:03:28.330
hell in 2000s when we were wearing really thin
00:03:28.330 --> 00:03:33.610
I had my brows tattooed I got them tattooed in
00:03:33.610 --> 00:03:36.569
Vietnam like 15 years ago. Let's be completely
00:03:36.569 --> 00:03:38.189
honest. If you're a black owned business owner
00:03:38.189 --> 00:03:40.270
right now and you grind on social media, fighting
00:03:40.270 --> 00:03:42.990
the algorithm that suppresses your content because
00:03:42.990 --> 00:03:45.409
you don't buy ads, you are entirely relying on
00:03:45.409 --> 00:03:47.229
word of mouth. It moves too slow for the speed
00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:49.250
of business. You don't need a massive corporate
00:03:49.250 --> 00:03:52.349
ad budget. You need a trusted media engine. That's
00:03:52.349 --> 00:03:54.610
exactly why we built our partnership model to
00:03:54.610 --> 00:03:56.860

00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.500
this month. Let's be keeping them up here but
00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:08.360
it didn't dawn on me at the time when I got them
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.860
done that it could be a career and When I started
00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:14.060
learning about microblading which was a different
00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.040
type of permanent makeup, you know, there's the
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.860
shading There's the old -school tattoos, but
00:04:18.860 --> 00:04:23.060
this was etching individual hairs into the skin
00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:25.920
to create a very natural looking eyebrow. So
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.279
that was brand new to me when I learned about
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.160
it and it was really intriguing. So I just started
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.079
doing research, went down the rabbit hole for
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.300
two to three months and felt like it was something
00:04:36.300 --> 00:04:39.100
that I could do. So I gave it a shot, took a
00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:42.180
training and started working on models. I was
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.319
Terrible. Um, it's so funny because I was just
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.339
coaching my apprentice last night and she was
00:04:47.339 --> 00:04:49.199
crying to me because she worked on somebody and
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.939
she messed up and I told her I said, you know
00:04:51.939 --> 00:04:54.220
She's like I see you working on clients. They're
00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:56.560
so happy they cry and you know You're changing
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.819
their life and I said listen my I had to cry
00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:03.439
10 times before I made someone else cry. My first
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.779
10 clients were horrible. I was like so down
00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:09.560
and out, wanted to quit every single time. And
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:11.980
it wasn't until the 11th client that I worked
00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:14.860
on that I actually made a life -changing impact
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:18.379
on someone who had no eyebrow hair and had a
00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:20.819
condition called trichotillomania where she pulls
00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:23.860
out all her hair so there was nothing. And I
00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:25.959
had been practicing all week. And up until that
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.879
point, I wasn't sure if this was the career for
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.220
me. I was still second -guessing myself. I was
00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:32.899
still doubting that I could be any good at this.
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.819
But, you know, after working on 10 clients, I
00:05:35.819 --> 00:05:38.420
finally built a certain level of confidence.
00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:41.220
I wasn't that great at it yet, but I knew that
00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:43.300
if I kept working at it, I could, you know, keep
00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:46.199
going. And I was really motivated to just start
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:49.160
fresh and start a new career. So by that 11th
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.600
client, after I worked on her brows, she cried
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.480
when I showed her the mirror. And she told me,
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.120
wow, Tani, can you like... Are you serious? I
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.579
get to wake up with these eyebrows tomorrow.
00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:01.139
Like I don't have to draw them in. I don't have
00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:03.560
to hide out from my family and, you know, stencil
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.379
pencil, the whole thing. And she started crying
00:06:05.379 --> 00:06:07.319
and she's like, can I give you a hug? And she
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.139
hugged me and she started crying. She's like,
00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:11.519
you have no idea. You changed my life. And then
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.279
I started crying or just standing there crying.
00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:14.839
I didn't know what to do with these emotions
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:20.300
because I was like this crazy. I like the fact
00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:22.540
that you said that because it leads into my next
00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:25.860
question. I tell solopreneurs all the time that,
00:06:25.860 --> 00:06:27.879
you know, at some point you can't serve two masters,
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.439
right? Meaning that you're building your business
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.000
on a weekend, you're getting your clients, you're
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.000
getting your experience, and then you're still
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.240
working your traditional job Monday through Friday.
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.920
And I heard you say on another interview where,
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:42.879
you know, he was like falling asleep and stuff,
00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:45.459
which I thought was hilarious. Just knowing that
00:06:45.459 --> 00:06:46.959
you're putting that work and you're burning the
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.680
candle on both ends. Absolutely. But as doing
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:55.490
that, When did you like finally realize, okay,
00:06:55.769 --> 00:07:01.009
I have to jump into this full time or like, what
00:07:01.009 --> 00:07:04.610
was it that was that mind shift for you? Because
00:07:04.610 --> 00:07:07.610
to do that, it takes a lot of confidence. And
00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:10.680
there's this thing where I tell people like,
00:07:11.709 --> 00:07:14.449
until you're full time into entrepreneurship,
00:07:15.620 --> 00:07:18.519
you're only, you know, you're only going to have
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:20.800
like half the time, whatever, because you have
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.790
something else to fall back on. And when you
00:07:23.790 --> 00:07:26.290
surrender that, there's a lot of uncertainty
00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:29.920
that comes with it. But I tell people, I've never
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.639
seen a stat where if you put like 30 years, 40
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.639
years into yourself, I haven't seen where anyone
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.120
doesn't have anything in the end. I have seen
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.040
it where you can work corporate America or work
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.319
for a company for a long time and then when it's
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.160
time to retire, don't have an retirement account.
00:07:47.939 --> 00:07:50.860
So what was it that like, you know, really flipped
00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:55.949
the switch in your mind? You know, I was, even
00:07:55.949 --> 00:07:57.930
though I went through so many transitions in
00:07:57.930 --> 00:08:00.730
my life, every time I started over, I didn't
00:08:00.730 --> 00:08:03.069
feel like I was starting over from scratch. I
00:08:03.069 --> 00:08:05.370
was equipped with the new skills that I was learning
00:08:05.370 --> 00:08:08.430
and the experience that I gained from the different
00:08:08.430 --> 00:08:11.240
jobs that I was holding. But, you know, I was
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.279
straddling two identities at this point. I was
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.420
starting to get really deep into the browse.
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:17.740
I was getting consistent clientele. And then
00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:19.819
I was still holding onto my full -time job because
00:08:19.819 --> 00:08:22.019
it was my safety net. I had invested so much
00:08:22.019 --> 00:08:24.439
in school. I was doing it for 10 years. I was
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:27.100
pretty up there, you know? And I'm like, can
00:08:27.100 --> 00:08:30.100
I start over again? Will I succeed? You know,
00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:33.000
can I, am I going to enjoy doing this? Because
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:36.559
that's been one thing that has anchored me in
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.100
everything that I've been. Successful with or
00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:41.000
have held on to for a long time is that I had
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.919
to enjoy it And it didn't it took me 30 clients
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.220
Before I started to really feel like okay. I
00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:50.440
think I can make a business out of this. I think
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.240
I'm getting more consistent I'm growing I'm learning
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.860
I'm getting the hang of it I feel confident because
00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:58.240
I've been managing the business with fashion
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.200
for so long and I know how to build a business
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.259
I just needed to get really good at the skill.
00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.720
So after 30 clients and I'm still with my old
00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:10.340
job I was starting to check out like mentally
00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:12.740
physically burnt out like you said absolutely
00:09:12.740 --> 00:09:15.580
burning the candle at both ends and some pushed
00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:19.519
me out of my old job And it's funny because at
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.919
the time I wasn't ready to quit my job yet, but
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.879
I had to hire replacements For me and one of
00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:28.259
the replacements and I were just butting heads
00:09:28.389 --> 00:09:31.750
like constantly. And I'm here at work, I'm thinking
00:09:31.750 --> 00:09:33.870
about eyebrows, I'm fighting with this new hire.
00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:36.090
And I'm like, what am I doing with my life? What
00:09:36.090 --> 00:09:38.470
am I doing here? And I had to talk to my boss
00:09:38.470 --> 00:09:40.690
about it and be transparent with her. And she
00:09:40.690 --> 00:09:42.850
kind of and I told her, you know, I don't like
00:09:42.850 --> 00:09:45.070
and I was willing to hold on to that, that full
00:09:45.070 --> 00:09:46.769
time or that job and make it even part time.
00:09:46.830 --> 00:09:48.169
I was like, I'm willing to help you for as long
00:09:48.169 --> 00:09:50.210
as you need. I'll help you hire whoever because
00:09:50.210 --> 00:09:52.629
I cared about them. Like I loved my people that
00:09:52.629 --> 00:09:54.570
I worked with. It was just the work that I was
00:09:54.570 --> 00:09:58.350
feeling less aligned with. But She told me, she
00:09:58.350 --> 00:10:00.370
said, look, you already have one foot out the
00:10:00.370 --> 00:10:04.309
door, so maybe it's best for you to pursue the
00:10:04.309 --> 00:10:07.929
next thing. And I said, you know what? You're
00:10:07.929 --> 00:10:11.110
right. I'm just going to go for it. So I quit
00:10:11.110 --> 00:10:13.990
two months before I had planned on. But then
00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:16.210
when I quit, the place that I was working, I
00:10:16.210 --> 00:10:18.330
was sharing a room in the back of a hair salon
00:10:18.330 --> 00:10:21.149
with someone and with my sister -in -law. And
00:10:21.149 --> 00:10:23.450
I could only use that room on like, one or two
00:10:23.450 --> 00:10:25.909
days on the weekends in the afternoon. And then
00:10:25.909 --> 00:10:27.789
that became unavailable to me because she was
00:10:27.789 --> 00:10:29.990
moving and then I didn't have a space to work
00:10:29.990 --> 00:10:32.669
anymore. So here I was, I quit my job, had no
00:10:32.669 --> 00:10:35.470
space to work, I barely had any savings, and
00:10:35.470 --> 00:10:37.129
I'm trying to start a new career and I'm just
00:10:37.129 --> 00:10:41.429
like, you know what, I've excelled. I'm like,
00:10:41.809 --> 00:10:45.129
what do I do? So I started calling around to
00:10:45.129 --> 00:10:47.730
other places to see if they would hire me as
00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:50.309
an artist, like other spas or beauty salons and
00:10:50.309 --> 00:10:53.480
whatnot. Nobody called me back. And my family
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.500
was like, you know what, why don't you try one
00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:58.740
of those like solo suites, those small salon
00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:00.899
suites you can rent and, you know, we'll help
00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:03.480
you, you know, get it set up. And so my family
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.240
was really supportive. And the work I was doing
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.000
was getting pretty good. So my, I remember it
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:12.159
was November, it was my birthday month. My brother
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.940
and sister were like, what do you want for your
00:11:13.940 --> 00:11:16.860
birthday? They ended up buying me my tattoo bed.
00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:18.960
My brother bought me my light. My mom came and
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.889
helped me to studio. And that was when it became
00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:25.549
real that I was like, whoa, I'm really doing
00:11:25.549 --> 00:11:29.049
this. I did my job. But the thing was, I was
00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:32.190
such a hard worker. I'm not afraid. and I would
00:11:32.190 --> 00:11:35.149
work 10, 12, 14 hours a day for somebody else.
00:11:35.169 --> 00:11:36.690
And I'm like, if you can do that for somebody
00:11:36.690 --> 00:11:39.629
else, you can do that for yourself. And so I
00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:41.710
had all this time now because I didn't, I was
00:11:41.710 --> 00:11:43.610
only taking clients on the weekends. I had to
00:11:43.610 --> 00:11:45.450
fill a full week and I'm like, you know what?
00:11:45.710 --> 00:11:48.149
I'm gonna go hard. I'm gonna create an action
00:11:48.149 --> 00:11:51.649
plan. I have goals. I had set my goals. you know
00:11:51.649 --> 00:11:53.549
broke it down like what do i need to do every
00:11:53.549 --> 00:11:55.309
day do i need to post every day i need to put
00:11:55.309 --> 00:11:57.029
pictures together i need to get an email list
00:11:57.029 --> 00:11:59.169
together i need to start marketing and i had
00:11:59.169 --> 00:12:01.110
20 years of marketing experience under my belt
00:12:01.110 --> 00:12:03.649
and sales so i'm like i can sell and market i
00:12:03.649 --> 00:12:05.850
just need to get really good at this skill so
00:12:05.850 --> 00:12:08.990
i felt confident in myself when i was i was scared
00:12:08.990 --> 00:12:11.490
had imposter syndrome you know still doubted
00:12:11.490 --> 00:12:14.490
myself every day but i just if i took action
00:12:14.490 --> 00:12:18.340
the universe will Help guide me and protect me
00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:20.620
and and you know, I'd give it my I gave it my
00:12:20.620 --> 00:12:23.909
all As you're doing it. So now you're getting
00:12:23.909 --> 00:12:27.409
consistent revenue You're uh, you know making
00:12:27.409 --> 00:12:29.309
this goal that you wanted but then you also have
00:12:29.309 --> 00:12:32.470
all this work At one point did you start scaling
00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:34.490
because you can't do everything except as over
00:12:34.490 --> 00:12:38.269
24 hours in a day exactly Sometimes, you know,
00:12:38.269 --> 00:12:40.090
I always I wish there were 48, but I don't know.
00:12:40.090 --> 00:12:45.490
I'd probably work all 48 hours About six months
00:12:45.490 --> 00:12:48.769
into me running the business on my own, getting
00:12:48.769 --> 00:12:52.830
really busy, booked out, my mentor actually,
00:12:52.889 --> 00:12:55.710
she put out an announcement on Facebook, like,
00:12:55.730 --> 00:12:57.289
hey, anyone doing really well in your business?
00:12:57.450 --> 00:12:59.730
We want to feature you on our podcast, our webinar.
00:13:00.129 --> 00:13:02.009
And I volunteered and I said, hey, I want to
00:13:02.009 --> 00:13:04.110
get on the podcast. And so she interviewed me,
00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:09.120
her partner interviewed me. We talked about business
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.559
and he was like, well, what's next Tani? You're
00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:12.740
doing really well. And I said, you know, I really
00:13:12.740 --> 00:13:15.059
want to be a master. Like I want to be a trainer.
00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:17.320
I want to teach other people how to do this because
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.799
I've found success with it. I've built a system
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.179
behind it. I'm not just like teaching the skills.
00:13:22.259 --> 00:13:25.000
I want to teach everything because it's working
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.600
and I know what I'm doing. And so that was the
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:34.559
next step. At the time, I asked my mentor if
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.500
there was a training opportunity or a master
00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:38.620
opportunity for me, and she told me no, because
00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:40.700
the academy that she was working with, that I
00:13:40.700 --> 00:13:43.220
studied with, they had reached their maximum
00:13:43.220 --> 00:13:45.639
capacity. I guess they had territories and, you
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.240
know, so I was really bummed out. So I thought,
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:50.840
you know what, maybe I'll just keep working and
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.960
eventually I'll do my own thing when I'm ready.
00:13:54.190 --> 00:13:56.429
she's her partner who interviewed me said oh
00:13:56.429 --> 00:13:58.649
you really want to teach okay i'll talk to claire
00:13:58.649 --> 00:14:00.990
who is my mentor and said we'll figure something
00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:03.509
out we'll see if we can help you later that night
00:14:03.509 --> 00:14:06.730
they called me on a voice like a video call both
00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:09.409
of them and they said Really great to have you
00:14:09.409 --> 00:14:11.570
on the show today and we want to share a project
00:14:11.570 --> 00:14:13.649
that we're working on with you. So they told
00:14:13.649 --> 00:14:15.370
me that they're building a whole new academy
00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:18.250
and you know, it's top secret at the moment.
00:14:18.269 --> 00:14:20.049
They haven't launched yet but they've been working
00:14:20.049 --> 00:14:21.950
on it and they're looking for trainers for their
00:14:21.950 --> 00:14:24.129
new academy and they invited me to become one
00:14:24.129 --> 00:14:27.629
of their trainers. This is a preview for Tanny
