The aesthetics industry isn't all glamour and easy money – it's filled with financial challenges, unrealistic expectations, and competitive pressures that new estheticians rarely anticipate. Building real wealth requires developing multiple income streams beyond just providing services.

• The money isn't what you think – most estheticians only take home about 7% of their revenue
• Real financial freedom comes from developing assets outside your aesthetics services
• Social media creates unrealistic expectations with carefully selected before-and-after photos
• Not everyone should be a business owner – many would thrive more as employees with the right employer
• Find employers who invest in leadership training and employee development
• Industry competition is cutthroat, but collaboration is more valuable than going solo
• Building multiple income streams is essential for long-term financial success
