Today we’d like to introduce you to Rachel Canelo
Hi Rachel, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am the Founder and Owner of MODERN SKN. I am a licensed esthetician, a full-time business owner, and a content creator.
It all began with a passion for helping others to look and feel their very best. 2020 was the year I discovered the beauty industry; due to my skin condition (Rosacea), a skin condition that causes redness on the face, nose, cheeks, or chin. The issue catapulted me to learn more about the anatomy of the skin; it was a topic I was heavily invested in.
Therefore, I took the initiative to educate myself on the topic, graduate from esthetics school, and start my own business.
I took a risk and bet on myself, and because of that, I am now doing what I love, helping and inspiring as many people as possible to do the same.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Smooth? Not at all. Entrepreneurship is not for the weak! It’s a very challenging endeavor but the reward makes it that much worth it.
As a new business owner, there is a lot that goes into becoming an expert within your field, a leader, and a mentor.
The “grind” includes business planning, product or service development, marketing, accounting, finance, risk management, and the list goes on. I have often sacrificed having a “normal life” in hopes of a strong return on my investment. It’s also the countless interviews, rejections, and sleepless nights I had to encounter to be where I am today.
In addition, growing clientele was also extremely challenging for me. There have been A LOT of tears on this journey over the last year, but my faith, my “why” was far bigger than the obstacle at hand. I took it upon myself to get the necessary training from other successful professionals to catapult my career.
Quitting was not an option.
