006: You Can't Make This Stuff Up - What's Your Back Up Plan?

Insurance shows up in our lives when we are least ready for it – but is a lifesaver for our business if and when it’s needed. Make sure you can be relieved that you’re covered rather than overwhelmed if the time comes. Insurance is a topic we tend to shy away from whether because it sounds scary, boring, or expensive. However, it’s more simple and more affordable than you think! In this episode, we have a conversation with Kathy from Simply Business. Simply Business is a retail insurance agency that specializes in supporting small businesses. Kathy stresses the importance of being covered because you never know when and if you will need it, but you’ll be happy you had it if something happens. Fixe Beauty is proud to have a partnership with Simply Business. Listen in and get started on a low-cost coverage plan today! Show Highlights: What Simply Business is, and who they specialize in helping. The type of coverage Simply Business offers for small business owners.

Many of us can live our lives making minimal decisions for ourselves. There are always parents, significant others, or mentors available to make decisions or simply set expectations for us. It takes a conscious effort to disrupt those expectations and go down a path we choose to pursue. Above all, it’s scary because we don’t want to upset our loved ones and potentially ruin any relationships. However, the fear you may feel is minuscule compared to the reward on the other side. In this episode, we have an exciting conversation with Q Roberson. Q is a symbol of competence, poise, and professionalism. She serves as an incredible example of a woman who had to break the mold her family expected of her. Although she felt all the fears you would expect, she followed her own path anyway and now has financial freedom and can provide for her family – within reason. According to Q, you’ll feel fear, but she says to do it anyway. Listen in to learn how to put yourself first and build your confidence as a woman who wants to forge a new path.
