Today we’d like to introduce you to Haley Murphy

Hi Haley, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?

I started my career in the beauty industry with a passion for empowering women and helping them feel confident in their own skin. Early on, I realized the immense potential in spray tanning, both as a beauty service and a business opportunity. Seeing the growing demand for natural-looking tans, I decided to specialize in this area. Spray tanning doesn’t require a license so anyone can offer this service. It can allow women to be their own boss, choose your own hours and give women confidence!

I launched my own spray tanning business, combining my expertise in beauty with a keen business acumen. Through dedication, 10 years of continuous learning, and a commitment to excellence, I built a thriving business. My approach focused on delivering high-quality results and exceptional customer service, which quickly earned me a loyal client base.

Recognizing a gap in the market for comprehensive, accessible training, I created an online course aimed at both established beauty professionals and newcomers. My goal was to share the knowledge and techniques that helped me succeed, enabling others to achieve financial independence and flexibility in their careers.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?

The road to success in the beauty industry, particularly with my focus on spray tanning, has not been entirely smooth. There have been several challenges and obstacles along the way.

One of the initial struggles was breaking into a competitive market and establishing a unique brand identity. It took a lot of effort to differentiate my services and demonstrate the value of high-quality, professional spray tanning to potential clients.

Another significant challenge was managing the business aspects, from marketing and client management to navigating the financial complexities of running a small business. There were times when balancing these responsibilities with delivering top-notch services felt overwhelming.

Moreover, as I transitioned into creating an online course, I faced the challenge of effectively translating my hands-on expertise into a comprehensive, accessible training program. Ensuring that the course provided real value and could genuinely help others succeed required a lot of time, research, and continuous improvement based on feedback. It took me two years to create.

Despite these hurdles, each challenge taught me valuable lessons and helped me grow both personally and professionally. The struggles have shaped my approach to business and education, making me more resilient and better equipped to support others on their own journeys in the beauty industry.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
