Screw It Just DO It with Alex Chisnall

Welcome to Episode #442 with Christina Flach, Celebrity Makeup and Hair Artist and creator and CEO of Pretty Girl Makeup.   During this episode, we talk about finding purpose through grief and managing and leading a successful business brand. Here are some highlights: There's always going to be bumps in the road and you just have to learn to ride these waves. Always have a plan A and plan B and hopefully you don't have to get to plan C. To have a successful brand, you have to be a little gentler and kinder to your self. Focus on what you've completed today instead of sulking on what you haven't done. Try to stay in the positive frame of mind. People tend to gravitate to people that have good positive attitude and good work ethics. You have to be flexible in any of you business decisions. There is no failure. Failure is not trying at all. If one doesn't work, then try something new. All these bumps and obstacles are lessons and they are not failure.   Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with Christina via the following: LinkedIn, Instagram, Website

Welcome to Sunday's Solo Episode #437.   During this episode, we talk about how I've got Covid-19 after 2 years of feeling invincible and evading it. In the middle of 48 hours of feeling sick and horrendous, I've been thinking of several thoughts and one of them is "Could Your Business Run Without You". We've heard a lot of businesses turning upside down during the pandemic and it's a good exercise to plan in advance for these kinds of scenario. Here are some highlights: If you can systemise and automate your processes, do so. If your just starting your business, make sure that you got your first hire right. I encourage you to employ a PA (personal assistant) or VA (virtual assistant) For business owners, the last thing you want is not making a decision. It's better to make a bad decision than no decision at all.   Learn more about the contents discussed in this episode: Connect with me via LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Clubhouse
