From serviced-based to e-commerce - Interview with Christina Flach

Buckle up for this one!We were seriously blown away (and maybe just a little bit star struck) by today’s guest, Christina Flach.Christina is a mother of five, celebrity makeup artist, and the CEO of Pretty Girl Makeup. And as we found out, an amazing story teller. Probably from her many years chatting with her clients in the makeup chair.Her journey in the makeup industry started with her mother. We fought back tears as she explained how her mom, who was diagnosed with cancer, asked Christina to do her makeup one night. She wanted to feel her best for a date with her husband. That experience sparked Christina’s love for doing others' makeup and helping them be the best version of themselves. And is still what drives her in everything she does. She is a true entrepreneur at heart.Christina has worked with a long list of celebrities such as Tyler Florence, Metallica, Journey, and Rita Moreno to name a few. But she was quick to say she didn’t find success right away. Just like so many entrepreneurs, and small business owners, it takes time to see your hard work pay off.Honestly, we were speechless at the end of the interview. Christina’s experience, down to earth perspective, and clear heartfelt love for what she does, had us walking away with so many lessons. Here are just a few:Know the problem in your industry and find a solutionPeople are willing to help you so don’t be afraid to ask for helpFill yourself up first in order to create more balance in your lifeLife is short, find what you love and lead with passionChristina is generously offering 25% off at www.prettygirlmakeup.com to all of our listeners!
