Krystal, owner of Knockout Beauty Bar, shares her journey from a solo aesthetician to a successful business owner with employees and systems. She discusses the challenges of scaling her business while maintaining the quality and customer service that made her business thrive.

• Building a successful solo practice by genuinely caring about clients and keeping detailed notes about their lives
• Avoiding using your own name for your business to make it easier to scale with other providers
• Investing in coaching to navigate the hiring process and overcome fear of making mistakes
• Creating comprehensive training protocols and systems for new employees
• Working through the challenges of payroll and administrative tasks
• Implementing effective hiring practices including the "hire slow, fire fast" approach
• Using a multi-step interview process: phone interview, in-person meeting, and working interview
• Helping employees build their clientele through social media marketing and referral cards
• Letting go of control as the biggest challenge in transitioning from technician to business owner
• Utilizing virtual reception services to improve work-life balance
