• 0:04
  Hi there business owner. Do you want a better?
• 0:06
  Understanding of business finance, what your numbers
• 0:09
  actually mean, and stories of the highs and lows of business
• 0:12
  where I'll be sharing my tips and tricks every week.
• 0:15
  Then you're in the right place. Welcome to the 3B's podcast with
• 0:19
  Stephanie. Hi there, I hope you're all
• 0:26
  well. I just wanted to take a moment
• 0:28
  of your time. Before this week's episode, we
• 0:31
  have another amazing guest this week which I can't wait to share
• 0:34
  with you. But we are approaching the
• 0:36
  midpoint of the summer holidays and I wanted to check in with
• 0:40
  you and see how you are doing. Especially if like me, you're
• 0:43
  wearing the business owner hat and the mum hat and maybe all
• 0:46
  the other hats in between. I want you to check in and see
• 0:51
  how you're doing. I hope you're.
• 0:53
  Having a really positive summer holidays.
• 0:57
  Not every day is rosy. Trust me, I've had to referee
• 1:00
  many of fights this summer already.
• 1:02
  But if you are making memories of your children, that's
• 1:06
  amazing. If you are, make it being
• 1:09
  productive in your business and making strides forwards in your
• 1:12
  business and your children are in childcare, that's also
• 1:15
  amazing. There's no shame here.
• 1:17
  You have to do what's right for you and what's right for your
• 1:19
  children. But I just wanted to check in
• 1:21
  with you. And let you know that my inbox
• 1:25
  is always open. So if you ever want a
• 1:28
  conversation or want to sense check anything as of my business
• 1:33
  when you are struggling or juggling, then do get in touch
• 1:39
  with me. I am more than happy to share
• 1:43
  the load. We wear lots of hats so it's
• 1:45
  always nice to have a community, which brings me really nicely.
• 1:51
  On to this week's guest. I like to do these little intros
• 1:56
  before we get into the actual recording because many business
• 2:00
  owners, myself included, either really struggle to or used to,
• 2:06
  really struggle to accept a compliment.
• 2:09
  And these ladies have taken time out of their day they will
• 2:12
  juggle into and they. Spending time being lovely and
• 2:18
  coming onto my podcast to help other business owners who are
• 2:22
  listening. And Jada is my personal beauty
• 2:26
  educator. She is absolutely incredible.
• 2:30
  She is building an incredible community of people who not only
• 2:36
  she can help instill confidence, but they they help each other.
• 2:41
  I am a part of the community and I love makeup, but I am.
• 2:46
  Not the most skilled when it comes to some of the things you
• 2:50
  see on social media and I go, I wish I could do that.
• 2:53
  And through Jada, as expertise and being a part of our
• 2:59
  community, I have definitely learned some skills.
• 3:03
  I now know what Bush does what, and I'm much more confident,
• 3:08
  both with my makeup on and more confident without.
• 3:12
  I remember back when I first started my business in lockdown
• 3:17
  and everything was done via Zoom and you would not be able to get
• 3:20
  me on a Zoom without a full face of makeup.
• 3:24
  Nowadays I'm quite happy either way, which just shows that the
• 3:29
  confidence you can build in yourself when you are part of
• 3:31
  the community. So without further ado, I really
• 3:34
  hope you enjoy this week's episode.
• 3:49
  Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Three B's
• 3:52
  podcast. I am so excited that I have
• 3:54
  another guest this week. I have the wonderful Jada from
• 3:57
  Face the Wolf. Jada is my personal beauty
• 4:00
  educator and can be yours too. She makes makeup less
• 4:03
  intimidating and provides confidence in the skin you're
• 4:05
  in, and is building a community of people who help each other
• 4:08
  become braver and step out of their comfort zone.
• 4:11
  Me included. Hello, Jada.
• 4:14
  Hello, Hello. Thanks for having me.
• 4:15
  How exciting to be here. I'm so excited.
• 4:18
  Thanks for the intro. Why don't you introduce
• 4:21
  yourself? Tell me a bit about you and your
• 4:23
  business. OK, so my name is Jada.
• 4:26
  As Stephanie's just said, I am your.
• 4:28
  Personal beauty educator and I am borderline obsessed with
• 4:32
  teaching people all of the skills that we were never taught
• 4:34
  as kids with regards to beauty. And so, yeah, and I'm absolutely
• 4:40
  like 10 out of 10 Community builder, But yeah, that's where
• 4:45
  I'm at. That is me.
• 4:48
  Amazing. And as I do with all my guests,
• 4:49
  I'm gonna ask you a series of short questions.
• 4:51
  There's no answers here. I just hope my audience gets
• 4:56
  some value from every different guest because we all do business
• 4:58
  differently and I think so often women are put against each other
• 5:02
  in the business world and actually if we all work together
• 5:05
  we can achieve more and grow together that.
• 5:07
  Is so true, so true. So the first question is what is
• 5:12
  your proudest moment in business so far?
• 5:14
  I should add to so. So far, yeah.
• 5:18
  My proudest moment in business I do.
• 5:21
  You know what? I have recently hit about 1300
• 5:24
  people in my Facebook group and as I said, community building is
• 5:27
  like literally my everything. So, like, I'm I'm an ex teacher,
• 5:32
  so I love teaching anyway. But the fact that I've managed
• 5:34
  to build a place where people kind of feel safe and will take
• 5:38
  risks and will learn is like my everything.
• 5:41
  So I my my genuine. Heart was warm when I hit 1000,
• 5:47
  and then it's just been growing like really quickly recently.
• 5:50
  So yes, my my community size is currently my proudest moment.
• 5:55
  I can vouch for that. I mean, I am somebody who.
• 5:58
  I mean, I show my face a lot. It's all over social media.
• 6:01
  It's on this podcast now. You'll see me all the time.
• 6:03
  But I this morning alone, I got a new eye shadow from Jada and
• 6:09
  it's it's a bit different for me.
• 6:10
  It's a bit bright, but I didn't think twice about taking a photo
• 6:13
  and putting it in the group. If I was going to put that on
• 6:15
  social media, I would have had a lot of thought and I would have
• 6:18
  had a bit of nerves potentially and some anxieties around that.
• 6:21
  And I just do it now and I don't have any fear.
• 6:24
  And that's the community that you.
• 6:25
  Feel. That's it.
• 6:27
  And it makes you step like genuinely the color that that
• 6:31
  Stephanie's talking about is like in the tube, a bold orange,
• 6:35
  right? Like a bold orange.
• 6:37
  And you look at it and you go, oh, I don't know, I don't know
• 6:39
  if I could ever wear that. This morning.
• 6:41
  She literally just threw it on and went look how good it looks
• 6:44
  so. Like that.
• 6:45
  That is what it's about. So yeah, my community is
• 6:47
  definitely my proudest moment and I am all about clarity,
• 6:52
  honesty, the highs and lows of business walks and all because I
• 6:55
  don't like to just show a highlight reel.
• 6:57
  So what is the biggest challenge you face so far and how did you
• 7:00
  overcome it? I think you know what the
• 7:04
  biggest challenge is, like the amount of self development
• 7:07
  that's needed for the online space and I know this sounds
• 7:10
  like. I feel like I sound like a
• 7:11
  walking cliche and I totally, totally get that.
• 7:14
  But genuinely the speed at which I and also other people that I
• 7:21
  know in the online space hit highs and then lows and then
• 7:24
  highs and then lows like that roller coaster is like a lot.
• 7:29
  And I, I I also agree with turning up as whoever you are in
• 7:34
  that time, whether that's good or bad, and being honest about
• 7:37
  everything but the amount of like.
• 7:41
  I don't know. Personal reflectiveness and
• 7:46
  learning to work with those highs as well as those lows and
• 7:51
  not get too caught up in that like totally normal roller
• 7:54
  coaster. Especially living on social
• 7:56
  media, I feel like it's so easy to get caught up in everybody
• 8:00
  else's like, weird, warped world.
• 8:04
  So yeah, I think being able to. Deal with the highs and the lows
• 8:08
  is definitely my biggest challenge.
• 8:10
  How have I overcome it? As an interesting question, I
• 8:13
  mean, I'm I'm quite a reflective person anyway and I tend to not
• 8:19
  be that competitive, so the whole like needing to kind of
• 8:23
  compare myself to other people in the online space isn't
• 8:27
  normally a thing that I get too stressed about.
• 8:30
  But I like, I don't know, I am a massive workaholic.
• 8:33
  So if there's a moment where I feel like I'm not working really
• 8:37
  hard, most people would be like that success, right?
• 8:40
  You've got to a point where you don't need to work really hard
• 8:43
  24/7. You can step back and it kind of
• 8:45
  just runs itself. And those moments are the ones
• 8:49
  that I'm like, oh, maybe I'm not doing well, maybe I'm not doing
• 8:51
  well enough kind of thing. So I spent quite a lot of time
• 8:54
  looking at those moments and going, oh, OK, that actually is
• 8:58
  me. Just having a breath and that's
• 9:01
  totally fine. But yeah, so I feel like lots
• 9:05
  and lots of paying attention to what's going on in my brain has
• 9:08
  happened. And it's not something you
• 9:10
  really do in teaching because you just kind of roll with the
• 9:12
  punches all day, every day. So it was definitely like a a
• 9:16
  learning curve for me. Oh, I love that.
• 9:18
  I love that. Now this next question is
• 9:20
  probably one of my favorites because every answer is so
• 9:24
  different and I love it. So if I had a magic wand that
• 9:26
  could take away one part of your business, it would still get
• 9:29
  done, it could still run, it would still be finalized.
• 9:32
  What would it be that I could take away from you?
• 9:37
  I mean, how long have you got? I felt like I could lift the
• 9:40
  Brazilian thing. My least favorite thing in the
• 9:43
  world is writing words. Like I write a significant
• 9:48
  number of words day in day out. And I I don't think I'm very
• 9:53
  good at writing words. Like, it's the reason that I go
• 9:55
  live every day instead of like writing posts all the time.
• 10:00
  Like it's my way of kind of getting words out without having
• 10:03
  to actually type them. And I think you get more
• 10:06
  authentic me, to be honest. But yeah, writing words, if you
• 10:09
  could find somebody who would be in my brain, know all of my
• 10:12
  knowledge and spit out how I talk without me having to do it,
• 10:16
  that would make my life. So we've got that on offer.
• 10:19
  I'm up for it. I mean, I don't, but I will keep
• 10:21
  my eyes and ears to the ground in case that.
• 10:23
  Ever. Does happen.
• 10:27
  So what's one piece of advice that you would give to a fellow
• 10:31
  business owner? Maybe just starting out?
• 10:35
  Consistency. Consistency is key.
• 10:39
  And also, I mean, you said one, but I'm going to go for two.
• 10:42
  Sorry, consistency. And like, keep the faith that it
• 10:46
  will be okay whatever happens. Like just keep going, just keep
• 10:51
  going, especially if you're starting out.
• 10:53
  Because things like that, a phrase I once heard and I can't
• 10:57
  even remember who said it, so I can't even give them credit
• 11:00
  right now. Is consistency not constantly.
• 11:04
  I think it's really important for business owners to know that
• 11:07
  actually, you don't need to post on social media every single
• 11:10
  day. If you post Mondays and Fridays,
• 11:12
  then you consistently post Mondays and Fridays.
• 11:15
  Otherwise it gets too tricky and then you just give up.
• 11:18
  So. Yeah, I agree with you and you
• 11:20
  need to learn. To like trust yourself as well,
• 11:22
  like other people. If you're trying to build a
• 11:24
  business in the online space, other people need to know to
• 11:27
  trust you. So being consistent means that
• 11:29
  they know the way you're going to be when kind of thing.
• 11:31
  But also you need to kind of be able to follow through with
• 11:34
  yourself. Because if you say I'm going to
• 11:36
  post Mondays and Fridays and then you let yourself down, you
• 11:39
  won't even trust yourself. So then you'll start with the
• 11:41
  self doubt and chaos. Yeah, I love that.
• 11:44
  I love that analogy. And again this one.
• 11:47
  I'm getting some crazy responses to this that I don't expect,
• 11:50
  even though I know a lot of the guests that have been on here so
• 11:53
  far, they surprised me every time.
• 11:55
  So if you could describe your business in one word, what would
• 11:58
  it be? Joy.
• 12:01
  Just joy. And why would you say joy?
• 12:06
  Because. The reason I started the
• 12:08
  business was to follow some joy. The I genuinely believe that I
• 12:13
  bring joy to people's lives irrelevant of what I talk about.
• 12:18
  Just in general, being in my community gives people joy.
• 12:22
  And yeah, like big plans wise, it's literally allowing me to
• 12:27
  follow my joy. It's allowing me to go and be
• 12:29
  where I want to be and do what I want to do when I want to do it
• 12:32
  kind of thing. So yeah.
• 12:33
  All the joy. Oh, I love that I agree that you
• 12:35
  bring me joy. So, oh, thanks.
• 12:37
  So I appreciate that. Finally, how can my listeners
• 12:42
  come and connect with you? Where is the best place to find
• 12:45
  you? I mean, as I've said, I've
• 12:48
  alluded to my Facebook group. My community is 100% the best
• 12:52
  place to find me. It's where you'll find daily
• 12:55
  lives. It's where you'll find so much
• 12:57
  information on how to apply makeup or skin care, etcetera.
• 13:02
  So face the wolf. Facebook group.
• 13:05
  Otherwise, I'm basically everywhere.
• 13:07
  Like literally anywhere that you could possibly find me.
• 13:09
  I'm on YouTube. I'm on Instagram.
• 13:12
  Instagram is probably quite a good place for short form like
• 13:14
  videos if you want to see many reels.
• 13:18
  Where else am I? I'm now on threads, as we all
• 13:21
  are. Of course.
• 13:24
  I'm just everywhere. Face the wolf with two eyes.
• 13:27
  Perfect. And what I will do is pop all
• 13:29
  your links into the show notes so people can get a hold of you
• 13:32
  there. And I encourage you to come and
• 13:34
  join me and Jada in her community because I'm there too.
• 13:38
  And thank you so much for joining me.
