The Solo Readiness Scorecard to Avoid Burnout, Build Profit, and Start With Momentum”

Discover whether you should leave your employer to start your own esthetics business by understanding the concept of "personal equity" and how it determines readiness for entrepreneurship.

• Working for someone else vs. going solo both mean starting from zero with client books
• The reality: solo estheticians typically earn $30-40K while employed estheticians make $40-60K without overhead
• For every $100 facial, you only take home $7-10 after expenses, taxes, and overhead
• 82% of businesses fail due to cash flow issues, not lack of skill
• The industry average rebooking rate of 65% is unsustainable for solo success
• The Solo Readiness Scorecard: financial runway, niche clarity, consultation skills, and market demand
• Building momentum while employed allows you to perfect systems without paying overhead
• Success requires knowing exactly what problem you solve and being known for specialized knowledge
