Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amanda Messerli. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Amanda, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
To be successful takes guts. You have to be willing to take risks in order to be successful & you have to step outside your comfort zone on a consistent basis while leaning into discomfort. Being comfortable with being uncomfortable is a skill that is imperative to growth and opportunity. I now own 3 businesses, and I was always waiting for the “right time” to start. The “right time” to take the leap. The perfect opportunity to change. The truth is that all we have is this moment! You will never be 100% ready for change because our minds are wired to seek comfort. The key is finding the comfort AFTER the discomfort. I’m not sure exactly how the quote goes, but it’s something along the lines of “Jump and make a plan on the way down” and that is exactly how I live my life today. I also want to note that success looks different to everyone. Monetary success it not what everyone is seeking. I personally like to measure success with happiness, and how much time freedom I have. True success to me means to be able to do what I want, when I want!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is Amanda! I am an entrepreneur, and currently own and operate 3 businesses. My love for entrepreneurship started out in the beauty industry. I have been an esthetician for 16 years, and own 2 thriving salons in Reno, NV! I started educating within the lash industry, and slowly learned my love for teaching and watching my students grow. As I was educating beauty strategies and business growth, I became very passionate about mindset work and energetics. I began to notice that I was mostly teaching mindset & manifestation in my courses instead of technical beauty service procedures. I have recently opened a new business as a Mindset & Manifestation Coach, and this is truly where my love lies. I am obsessed with helping women heal their mindsets, while changing their day to day lives. I am a firm believer that what you put out is attracted back to you, and utilize the law of attraction with all my clients. Manifestation has single handedly changed the trajectory of my life. I have manifested everything up to this point in my life, and am looking forward to crushing goals for the rest of my time on this planet. My coaching programs are designed specifically for those who are seeking out change. Those who are ready to put in the inner work to heal, and manifest their desires. To put it more simply, my courses are designed for those who are ready to change their life. Magic happens in coaching containers such as this one, and I am in love with helping others achieve this.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Social media presence is imperative when starting & running a biz! My advice for those starting out is to be consistent. All 3 of my businesses have been built via social media with no paid ads. Consistency is KEY. I also wish I had known the importance of showing your face, and being personable with your audience. Even if it’s 12 people watching you, those 12 people want to get to know you on a personal basis. Sprinkle in personal stories and relatable content amongst educational content for maximum growth ;)
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
“Good to Great” by Jim Collins was transformational for me as a boss and business owner! I also really love all things written (& spoken) by Dr. Joe Dispenza. His books are on how to change the chemistry of your brain and body to become the best most successful version of yourself. HIGHLY recommend!
