Hello, I'm Bonny Snowdon, ex-corporate person and mother turned successful artist entrepreneur. It wasn't that long ago though that I lacked the confidence, vision, and support network to focus on growing my dream business. Fast forward past many life curve balls, waves of self-doubt, and so many lessons learned. And you'll see Ignite my thriving online coloured pencil artist community, a community that changes members' lives for the better,
and gives me freedom to live abundantly whilst doing what I love and spending quality time with my beloved family and dogs, all whilst creating my best artwork with coloured pencils and mentoring others to do the same. But this life wasn't always how it was for me. It used to only exist in my imagination. I've created the, It's A Bonny Old Life podcast to help increase people's confidence,
share mine and my community's experience, and hope through fascinating personal stories, champion the other amazing humans in my personal, professional, and membership community, and create another channel through which I can support others to realize their dreams. If you're a passionate coloured pencil artist or an aspiring one who's looking to create their best work and a joyful life you love, you are in the right place. Grab a cuppa and a custard cream. Let's get cracking.
This week I'm chatting to the inspiration behind Stylist Soul Tribe, Lisa Huff. She's created a community of hair stylists providing connection and sisterhood inside the beauty industry. And she is a fellow member of the Stu McLaren's Mastermind. I don't think it matters what industry you're in, when it comes to business and being an entrepreneur.
We're all kind of on the same page. I'm so looking forward to meeting Lisa in October when I head over to Nashville and I hope you enjoy this episode.
Bonny, hi, you. I'm good. How are you? Oh, I'm fine, thank you. I think I might have burnt my face in the sun. That'll happen. That's not fun though.
No, We don't normally get, Yeah, Yeah, we don't normally get sun in the UK and and it's absolutely gorgeous here. And I've been sitting out all morning, I had little laptop and I've been doing some bits and pieces and then I've just kind of looked at my face in the mirror thinking, oh, I need to make myself look reasonably presentable.
And I'm like, Ooh, I'm a bit pink, Little crispy Bonny. Yeah. Oh, it's so nice to see you. I'm so grateful that you asked me to do this. I have no idea what I'm gonna talk about to your people, but I'm just so excited to have a conversation with you and get to know you better. Oh Yeah.
No, and that, you know, I think so. I, I tend to just jump straight in. We're recording. Yep. This is it basically. Amazing. And you are part of the Stu McLaren Mastermind. Yep. Which I'm a, a member of as well. And oh my goodness, you missed the most incredible session last week. Were you in Day two?
Was it? Because I was there for day one. I wasn't there for day two. Day two. Oh my goodness. Why? Dang it. I have to go back and watch what was so incredible about it. Tell me You need to watch it. So, well, I was really looking forward to your update on your retreat, so I'd love to hear about that anyway.
Yeah, yeah. But day two was Bonnie Christine and her surface design, and for anybody listening, basically we we're gonna go, go a bit nerdy now about, about memberships, but she shared her launch runway. Oh, okay. I need to watch, I'm writing that Note right now. Honestly. We were all like, oh my goodness. Oh my goodness.
I kind of had a bit of a fan girl sort of moment and asked her a question, but was a bit sort of, heart was beating. Oh my goodness, this is just amazing. And she shared her, her launch runway and oh my god, some of the stuff that she does, I'm like, oh my God, you're just amazing person.
Ah, amazing. Incredible. She was, she was saying cuz she takes her, her students through a nine week course teaching them how to be surface designers and, and, and everything. I don't really know very much about her course. Yeah. But one of the things that she does, and I was like, oh my God, that is so good.
She writes all of them, all of her students names on seed papers and then when they graduate after nine weeks she put and on, I have tears in my eyes. I'm writing that, don't you? She plants the seeds. I've got goosebumps now. She plants the seeds in her garden. The seed papers. Wow. And then she takes photos as those plants begin to grow and she shares them.
Wow. Like that is just, I mean, you can't, that is not something that's a marketing tactic that is No, that's just meaningful. Your part and Gorgeousness. And I was like, oh my goodness, this woman is amazing. Yeah. I think I'm gonna have a girl crush on her too. I'm gonna have to watch that. I hate that.
I missed that. You definitely need to watch that. Yeah. So it's so nice to have you here and because I want to, I'd really like to get to know you a little bit more. Yeah. Are you heading to Nashville in October? I will be at Nashville in October, yes. Awesome. I've booked my tickets, I've booked my amazing hotel.
I'm so excited. Amazing. So you just booked it through the hotel or like through their website, right? Cause the link's not working still. That's okay. I, I'll be patient so I can technically drive. It's like a six hour drive for me. And if it was just me, I would not make that drive. But my husband, I think we're gonna make a little date trip out of it and we're gonna go early and he's like,
no, we're driving, we're not flying. That's ridiculous. He's like, you'll be in a, in an airport as as long as you'll be driving. So I'm thinking maybe we're gonna drive in together a little early, have the, and then he might leave when we start the mastermind and or I'll drive back with him. But if not, I might just fly back on my own.
That's, Well, I'm coming, I'm getting in on the Thursday. Okay. And I'm staying till the Thursday, so, so we are coming and I'm, I'm bringing, I'm bringing one of my team with me. She's also my best friend. Amazing. You allowed have to bring her into the mastermind event. I really, No, she won't be able to come into the mastermind,
but I think she'll be able to do stuff on the evenings, but, so we're coming for the week and it is just gonna be amazing. What, Well, Bonny, it's funny that you say that cause when I looked at direct flights, I think the airline that I like to get a direct flight from me to Nashville, I think flies out on Thursdays as well.
So I might end up with almost that same schedule. We'll see. Oh, that would be really good. Yeah, that would be really good. I'm so, honestly, I'm so excited. I'm so Excited. I am too. I'm too, I really am. Oh gosh. So talk to me, talk to me about you. Cause I know you are a,
a hairstylist, you have a hairstylist membership. I've, I've kind of met you in in various zooms and everything and I just, I I know nothing. I know nothing about you. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds terrible, isn't it? Okay, so I'll just kinda, yeah, Just go Give you the basic overview. So my name is Lisa Huff.
I am a hairstylist and studio suite owner in central Illinois. So I'm in the middle of Illinois and I started back, way back in 2018. I started a membership called Stylists Soul Tribe because I was a stylist, like building my business, obsessed with building my business, like over the top like crazy obsession. And I could talk about it for hours and hours and hours and I just wanted more people to talk about it with,
you know, and I was craving a mastermind and I was reading all these like personal growth and development books and listening to all the podcasts. You know, it was 2018 that was very much like what everybody was talking about. And everybody kept saying, oh, I'm in this mastermind and this mastermind, this mastermind. And I'm like, I'm just over here,
you know, doing hair in a small town. Not that that's not a big deal, but I'm like, can I have that? And I really didn't see anything that was having conversations centered around the conversations I wanted to have, which was like service-based businesses, how to grow those, how to scale those type of really beautiful schedule, lifestyle, make really great money,
grow your business, make it the best that you can. And nobody had that out. I mean, that was not a thing that you could do. So I put a little post out on Instagram and I was like, I really would like to start a mastermind. Like I built up a bit of a hairstylist following just cuz of other like programs and stuff that I was in.
And I was like, would anybody be interested in like really being serious about this meeting regularly? Like continuing to have really powerful conversations. And I put that out and I wanna say 10 people were interested. I was hoping to get at least five so that I could have a mastermind on my own. But right away there was a, there was a demand for it.
And so that's kind of where Stylist Soul Tribe started. I still have, I think five of those initial 10 all these years later. We still meet once a month, have the same conversations that we've been having and it's just grown a lot since then. And yeah, we just wrapped up a retreat. It was just two weeks ago. I was there two weeks ago today I was there and it was incredible.
It was my third retreat. I have fallen madly in love with in-person events. My membership specifically is very, very, very deep, close knit, very like energetic, connection based. And being together in person is just magic. And I'm obsessed with it and I just wanna keep doing it over and over and over again. So that's kind of where I'm at right now.
I'm like on a high for that. I'm actually in the middle of launch right now. I just did a two day resource fair the last two days and we opened doors for applications yesterday and they're slowly starting to roll in. And that's where I'm at right now. Amazing. Amazing. And have you always been, is that something that you always wanted to be,
you know, a hairstylist? How, what, what, what, how did you get into that side of things and then running your own business? Such a funny question. You would think, cause I think a lot of little girls do want that. And no, I was like a tomboy as a kid. I wanted to be a firefighter when I was a kid,
be mostly because I was allergic to dogs and my parents wouldn't buy me a dog. And I thought that meant that I got a pet dalmatian if I was a firefighter. So that was like when I was really young, what I wanted to do. And then obviously as I got older, I realized that wasn't really for me, I, it wasn't this like strong pull,
but I went to cosmetology school through my high school program. There was a, an ability on your senior year to do like a kind of technical program. So I would go to high school for half the day I'd leave and then I'd go to cosmetology school. And truthfully, that was enticing to me when I was 17. I was not strong at school and not that I,
I mean I could have been, I just didn't care my, my priorities, I'm a very creative hands-on person. I hated sitting at school. I hated doing homework. I hated taking tests. And to me it was just an opportunity to not have to take as many classes and go like maybe hang out with some of my friends and do hair. And so it actually started like that.
And then I graduated and even still, I don't know if I was dead set on it, I don't even know if it was. Then I, I did hair for a while and then we moved around a lot for my husband's job. So I was kind of in like a stay-at-home mom phase for a little bit. I had my daughter really young.
I had my daughter at 20. So we were young moving around, right. My husband was getting established and his career as an iron worker, we were traveling and, and then we finally kind of stayed put and I found a community and a business coach online for hairstylists who was teaching how to grow your clientele and grow your business and things like that.
And I really followed that to a t and saw extreme success. And that's like when I became like obsessed with just entrepreneurship as a whole. I love doing hair, I obviously love doing it, I'm talented at it, but to me it's like business is business. I could be doing anything else. I'm obsessed with the business side of it. And that just kind of opened my eyes to all of that.
It's, it's funny isn't it? Because I think w whatever business you are in, people seem to think that their business is oh, oh, you know, we do it differently because it's a hairstylist or you know, an art business. Oh, it's very different having an art business and it's really not Yeah. Businesses, businesses, business. Yeah.
And it's economics and it's, and and even just the side of entrepreneurship that allows you to, the freedom, I've become super intrigued and obsessed with that. So yeah, to me it's, it's really, it is business. And I've said this in our mastermind meetings before. I certainly Stylist Soul Tribe has become my main career and my main source of income.
I don't need to work behind the chair anymore financially. But I do still really like to, I do like getting outta the house. I like getting dressed, I like driving my car out of my house, having conversations face-to-face with people, keeping my hands in hair and being creative. So yeah, I'm still doing hair two days a week behind the chair and then I'm running Soul Tribe for the rest of the time.
And I'm a mom of a 10 year old and a seven year old. So I'm also just like busy with that. And I just love that I have the freedom to kind of design my life to be exactly what I need it to be each season. It's amazing, isn't it? I worked in, I mean I always worked for somebody there, there was a,
a a period of time where I was freelance not really working for, for myself because you were sort of with an agency and all of that kind of stuff when I was doing graphic design. Yeah. You know, I look back now when, when I travel over to the city that I used to work in, maybe go to the cinema or something like that.
And I think, oh my goodness, I used to, I used to drive every single day, make this journey and back again and it would take me like an hour and a half and then I'd have to get on a bus to get into the city center. I just think, oh, I, I dunno how I did it. I know,
I Mean, I get you, you do obviously you do when you get into your routine and, and I, and I've always loved whatever I've done. I've always loved, you know, being able to be my own boss, being able to think up new things, being able to get excited about stuff. And one of the biggest things for me has been meeting like-minded people.
Yeah. People who are obsessed with their businesses. Yeah. Yeah. And it's really cool. And that's how we've connected. And I mean that's why I'm just such a huge fan of masterminds as a whole and I just think it's important to always seek out that it's in some capacity for each of us because it's so inspiring to just hear what other people are doing.
And it's, the grass is always greener. It's that like what, what do you call like experience stretching almost. Once you've experienced something so many times it kind of wears off. I think there's just something so powerful and like staying in it and recognizing like growth and not getting stuck in the mundane. And so I'm just always seeking that out because I do get bored quickly.
And I think being in masterminds and going to in person, you know, things like that and having e literally even these conversations just keeps you like realizing this is why I am doing it. These are all the different ways I can do it. I mean the sky is literally the limit. We can be doing whatever we want. And how fricking cool is that?
Like why are people, people complaining about their jobs? You know, I know I just, I, you know, and, and especially when like talking about masterminds because it's something I've been thinking about having a mastermind for, for artists, for, you know, full-time artists. I don't quite know what it would be and how it would work and everything,
but I just think it would be, so it would be amazing to have, you know, full-time artists who are making a living, doing their, their work, sharing what's working really well for them. Getting help from people, you know, if they're struggling with something or, and I just think that would be just the most amazing space. I think they should do That.
I think you should do that. And I think that's what I've realized with having Soul Tribe. And I know you say like what's working really well in these full-time artists, but what I've realized is it just comes down to we're just humans, honestly. Sure. Everybody in my program is hairstylist. We like hardly even talk about hair, the power of having a community and people who are there intentionally.
And I know it's kind of a weird concept to somebody who's never invested in a mastermind. Like, oh, you have to pay to have these relationships when you pay money. It's an energy exchange. And when you pay more and more money, I mean the membership we're in is, or the mastermind we're in, is it cheap? Yeah. Like it just sets this energy and this tone that everybody in that room takes this so serious and is so invested in you and in them in themselves.
It's just such an interesting concept. And once you have it in your life, this kind of like, I don't know if there's a word for it, it's like the these so in such intentional relationships that people are like financially paying for them, it's, it's a really, really cool concept. And then once you have it, you're like, oh,
I need to continue to have this because these are the people that are constantly like striving for more and they're not just like coming and complaining or wasting time. It's super intentional. So I think you should be doing that. Yeah. That's, that's really really interesting what you were saying about the, the the paying for it cause and I think we've all had,
you know, moments of life in our lives where we're thinking, well, you know, oh my goodness, I can't afford that. Right. You know, and actually the thought of sort of, I guess regular sessions, zoom calls, meet up in person, that kind of thing to actually pay for that. I do imagine that people are gonna be going,
well, you know, we'll just, we'll just get on a Zoom call anyway, we'll just sort it out. But this is where it's different when you pay for somebody, like you said, it's intentional. You know, those two days that I had last week for two day for the workshop, they were basically an extra day tagged onto the day I'd already had because it's in,
in it's us time. Yeah. If it was free and we were just all sort of, oh, you know, you can come in. Would I have got, would I be taking it seriously? No, I wouldn't. When you pay, you pay attention. That's a quote. Yeah. Yeah. And it's really, really real. Yeah.
I, I couldn't agree more. Yeah. Have you been in Sue's mastermind? Were you new in This time? I was new the same time you were in. Yeah. I remember on an onboarding call you were on there and I searched your Instagram and I was so fascinated by you, me and my daughter were just looking at your Instagram this morning.
Cause I was telling her that I was doing a call with you. I'm sure everybody that's listening to your podcast knows you, but obviously, but I'm just like amazed by what you do. I mean, I know I'm an artist in some form in hair, but the the things that you create I think are so incredible and so amazing. So yeah,
we did start on the, in the same, in the same season. Keep going. I distracting but you stood out to me so quickly. I'm just so grateful to Shauna because I hadn't seen the emails coming through about the I remember you saying that. Yeah. I was kind of umming and aing about James Wedmore's mastermind And then I decided not to,
I think just because of travel and all of that kind of stuff. Cuz it was like, if you, you have to commit and you have to commit to coming three times a year in person. Yeah. And I, and at that point I couldn't, and then I got this email from Shauna saying, come on Bonnie, are you joining the mastermind?
And I was like, well, you know, I can't really commit. And then she was like, yeah, but you know, it's you, you don't have to come to the lives. There's only a couple. And I was like, hang on a second. This is, this isn't the, the mastermind I was thinking of joining this is,
and, and Stu McLaren is, I mean I joined his tribe in 2021. I love that man. I do too. He makes you feel so welcome. I know in his lives he's a bit crazy. You know, when you, I like, I feel like you can just tell when people's hearts are good and like, oh my God, there's a lot of sliminess and some that,
that draws some people, you know, different strokes for different folks. But I just feel like Stu is so genuine. Yeah, He's amazing. I lo I, I mean I started listening to him, then I joined Tribe and then I, I joined his mastermind and I will, as long as I can have the opportunity and I'm allowed to, I will,
I will carry on paying to be in it because I think you're gonna be up to impact pretty soon. Oh. You know, he has a higher level mastermind than what we're in. And I know you're hitting those numbers, Bonnie. I'm not there yet, but I think you may end up in impact. Can you imagine I'm sitting here now thinking Yeah.
I mean even, even thinking about meeting him in October is making me giddy. So exciting. I know, I know. But it's just, his team are amazing. The the, the people, you know, the people, everybody is just so kind, so helpful. So sharing nobody wanting to keep anything close to their chest, they're just, they're in it to,
to help everybody. It is just the most wonderful place and I'm so grateful that Shauna, I'm in fact I'm gonna email her when, when we come off this call and just say, I'm so grateful for you for emailing me because it is one of the best things I've ever done. It really, really is. Oh, I love to hear that.
I love that so much. And it's really cool because the one that we're in is invite only and so I'm curious what your thoughts are, especially if you like did decide to do a mastermind. Mine isn't invite only. Mine is by application only. Cuz I still do kind of wanna like vet and be super intentional Yeah. About who comes in. But I don't know about you,
but there was something very like, oh me, you see me? Like that's that like such a grateful feeling of that invite only set up. And I'm sure you probably felt that as well. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Because it just was like, oh gosh, oh blame me. What's this? And then of course I got it all wrong and I thought it was somebody else.
But also Yeah, because there are all these big things have these masterminds and there are these like really, really high level masterminds that are even, you know, way more than what we're paying currently. Higher Yeah. Stipulations. Which I hope to get to that level too. Like I have no hate against that either. But I think what we found with Stu,
I don't know if what we have right now, I don't know if anybody's really comparing to that price wise and what we're getting. I remember, I haven't done a lot of masterminds and stuff, but I have a good friend of mine, hunter, and he's done like Rick Mul, right? He's accelerated program. He's done a few high level masterminds.
And when I sent him the price, he was like, Lisa, you better jump on that because for what you're getting, that really should be like 25. So I was like, yeah, Because he's so present. He's there, he's, and he shares. Oh, I just, I absolutely love the man. I think he's amazing. I agree.
I agree. I'm so excited to meet you in October. That is, I'm so glad you're coming. It's gonna be so much fun. I have no idea what to expect, but I'm just going in with your expectations and ready to roll. Absolutely. Well, I, like I say I'm coming with, with Vicki who is a, she's a planner.
Okay. She Is an itinerary writer. Okay. And I'm not, Yeah, I'm not either. I would end up going, doing the, if I was going on my own doing the mastermind and the rest of the time I'd probably sit in my room on, I'm not, so what's Vicki planning? Oh God. She'll be planning all sorts. That's fun.
We'll be doing all sorts. That's fun. So for my In-person, for my in-person retreat, we don't, we sh we don't really share an itinerary with people. We share a very rough outline, but it's so funny cause I had 40 people come to this last retreat and it's so funny watching the percentages of people that are so go with the flow and then some people like it's goes against every grain in their being to just fly to Chicago and have no idea what they're doing.
And let me just like, just trust the process. And it's funny, even like people who have now been two years in a row, the first year they were like, Lisa, I need to know more. And like nagging at me. And, and then the second year they were like, okay, I can just trust. And then the new people that were coming were like asking all these questions in Marco Polo and they're like,
do I bring my notebook? Blah, blah, blah. And one girl Anna got on and she was like, you guys, I know you're all excited. I know you like really wanna know what's going on, but I just have to tell you, you just have to show up. Lisa literally has every single detail planned. You don't even need to bring a pen,
you don't need to bring coffee, you don't need to bring a snack. Just come and relax and see how it goes. So I try to go into in-person events with that mindset. Do you do it on purpose? Do you do that on purpose? It, It, I get off on it. It's so fun to me. I love surprise and delight and it's almost become this like,
sick game now that these girls figure out everything. Like I, I try to create these surprises and they figure out everything. So this last retreat, we had an excursion plan and we'd never done an excursion before. So I was like, oh, I'm not telling them this is happening. A shuttle's gonna show up. We're all taking a shuttle across Chicago,
hopping on a boat, doing an architecture tour where they're gonna have no idea this is happening. And then as it was getting closer and closer, we use Marco Polo a lot inside of Soul Tribe. And so we had a retreat, Marco Polo group. And as it's getting closer and closer, these girls are just like planning, just like, just like Vicki,
they're planning all these excursions. They're doing a donut tour, all these different things. And they started talking about booking tickets for an architecture tour. And I'm like, you little brats. So we had to, we had to quietly tell them secretly like, don't book that, we're already doing that. But I did have a few things that I did get to still surprise and delight them,
but it's almost become this like game now where I have to like outdo it myself. And I love it. I think it's so much fun. Do you know it's, it's funny isn't it? How, cause I, I, I'm not a planner. I, you know Yeah. I will go away and pack the morning I'm going away. Yeah.
I won't, I won't have I care on my outfits too much, so I can't do that. But I'm not, I Don't, I'm just like, oh, just Chuck, chuck that in. Went to South Africa for a couple of weeks and literally took a little carry on bag. Wow. And that, that was, that was basically it. But I,
I quite like structure, but I'm really happy not having any, you know, well, we'll just, we'll just see what happens. We, you go. But having somebody, particularly going to somewhere like Nashville, having somebody like Vicki, she's very outgoing. She's definitely a party girl and having her organizing it and she loves organizing and she's really good at organizing.
Whereas me, I'm quite introverted. Okay. You know, I do like a party, but I'm much better with people that I know I'm okay on kind of a zoom, but put me in sort of like a big group of people and I'll just be a little bit, bit quieter. Yeah. Vicki sort it all out forcing me, which she won't be forcing me,
but, you know. Totally. Yeah. And, and that's, that's just amazing for me. Have You and Vicki traveled together before? So we, we were in South Africa earlier this year. Okay. Together, which was great. I'm going, I'm traveling down to see her next week. So I'm in London with her for three days next week.
And she's been up here a few times. We only met in 2018. I was gonna Say, if this is repeat and the podcast doesn't need to hear this again, then we don't have to go there. But I'd love to kinda hear the story about how Vicki came about. So I became a full-time artist in 2017, did my stuff, was putting stuff on online and doing commissions and a member of quite a lot of coloured pencil groups,
all that kind of stuff. And mid 2018 prob yeah, mid 2018, I got this message through from this woman, hi Bonnie, you don't know me, but you know, I'm a big fan and I've seen your work and blah blah blah, and it's all really lovely and I'd like you to come to London and do a workshop. London. And I hadn't started teaching at that point.
I'd, I'd obviously got plans to teach, it was on my business plan and it was something I wanted to do, but I hadn't actually got to the point where I, I was actually gonna do that. And I was like, oh, you know, hi Vicki, all the niceties and everything. I said, oh, I'm not teaching just yet.
So, you know, that'll be a no, she would not let it lie. No. And we just, you know, no, no, you're coming. I've got a fantastic venue. I live here. Oh wait, I've got the, the, the bottom bit. You don't have to pay for it. I can do this, I can do that.
And I, I was like, oh, Sounds like I, I mean, to me that's alignment. You can't say no and Something like that. I don't. And anyway, so it was November, 2018, I drove down to London. I've got two day workshop. We've got 20 people on the workshop a week before the venue that we were gonna be holding the workshop in flooded.
Did it flood or did it, did it have a fire? Either flooded or had a fire? I got, Yeah, a disaster. So we couldn't use it. And you know, when you sit there thinking, is this, is this real or is this person scamming me or, you know, cause I didn't know her from, Adam,
oh I guess that's true. I said, don't worry, don't worry. I've got a friend. He's just vacated this place. It's just over the road. Anyway, rocks up in London. They got me a parking space under their apartment just next to the Excel center in, in London. And we'd got this venue, which was the most incredible office space in all of the old flower mills,
I think it was an amazing venue. And she'd got all of the tables and chairs in. She'd hired them all in, she'd done all of the food stuff. I was like, oh my God, this woman was just like a, a a like a fairy godmother. Oh, I love that. And her husband was, was gorgeous. He was helping me carry everything over and that was it.
That was it. And she is just the most incredible woman. She's sort of like my, what would you call her? My community manager. She looks after my Facebook groups and does an incredible job. And she has, she comes with like ideas and she's helping me. I'm, I'm having, I'm doing a, a starting my in-person events, November,
I think the first one's going to be she's helping me find venues, all of that. She is just amazing and she's really, really good. An amazing person to be with. She's fantastic. I love that. I love that so Much. That's, I I love that she just like pushed it. I actually have somewhat of a similar situation. So on my like official team,
I really only have one other gal and her name is Alicia, which can get confusing Lisa and Leisha. But that just happened to be her name and she's amazing. So I'm not gonna say no to that. So I've known her for a long time because she was in the program that I started off in. So like I knew her a little bit like as peers,
you know, we followed each other on all the socials and we would, you know, kind of talk a little bit. And there, and then she joined Stylist Soul Tribe. And she was all in and she was super invested and super all in. And then one day she booked a one-on-one coaching call with me, which all my, my girls do that a lot.
They get a discounted rate. I see those come in. I'm like, okay, cool. Alicia wants to deep dive on something specific. We have this one-on-one coaching call. And we got into the coaching call and we were like talking for like 15 minutes and like I couldn't really tell what direction she wanted to go with the coaching call. And then finally 15 minutes in,
she was like, so there's actually like another reason why I booked this coaching call. I really, and she just like went on and on about how she re recognizes I'm a one woman show. She sees all these different ways that she could help me. She's so invested in the stylists soul tribe and she wants to help me grow it and see it come to life.
She's like, I would love to do it, even just complimentary in the beginning just to get a feel for it, make sure it works for you, make sure it works for me, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I got off that call and I was like, what a smart thing to do. She paid me for my time,
booked a one-on-one coaching call with me and just laid out all these ways that she can help me. And I'm like, obviously Yes. And she has been a godsend and she, I mean she's become one of my very best friends. It sounds like, like Vicki, like I, we, she was incredible at the retreat. I could hang out with her every day if we lived close enough to each other.
So yeah, I think for business owners specifically or somebody who doesn't need to be a number one spot somewhere and build their own thing, if you're really good at supporting other people, I think what Vicki did and Alicia did, there's something powerful in really putting yourself out there. There really is. There really is. Yeah. You know, she is,
well Alicia sounds amazing. She is my, well now that you're saying this, I was like, oh, I was gonna bring my husband to Mastermind, but maybe if that doesn't work out, we could go with Alicia and then she could be like Vicki during the day. She could kind of do her own thing. But my friend r to recommended this book to me.
When Alicia first, you know, presented this, I was like, oh gosh, do I do it? And especially cause she was a member. I, I didn't know what that was gonna look like. What if it didn't go super well? Like is that gonna be awkward? I didn't know how to handle it. And my friend recommended a book to me called Rocket Fuel.
Have you heard of that? I feel like I've recommended that before in our group. Oh, Rocket Fuel. Now I haven't got, I've got, I've got so many books. It's right here. I'll show you it just so you know what the cover looks like. Oh, I love a book. So It's called Rocket Fuel by Gino Wickman and Mark Winters.
And my friend recommended this to me. And what it's about is the relationship of a visionary and an integrator. And it tells all these examples of all these massive companies and businesses that we all know and love and who their visionary was, which is typically the face of their business. Walt Disney, all the people that you like think of talked about McDonald's,
all these different businesses and how almost all visionaries have an integrator. And the integrator is nearly just as important as the visionary, but nobody ever sees them. They're what keep things going on the backend. And like you, I'm not a planner, I'm a go with the flow. Vicki is that planner, Leisha is that planner. And so I was reading it like my friend was like,
if you're gonna bring her in, like I want, you should read this book and it'll give you some ideas of like how to bring her on. And I got like maybe three chapters into the book and I Amazon primed it to her house and I was like, I want you to read this book if we're gonna do this and then I wanna talk about it.
And it has you take a test like inside of it to see if you're a visionary or if you're integrator. Cuz what would really stink is if another visionary tried to come in and then you realized, okay, we're gonna end up clashing. This isn't gonna work out. Yeah. And I was like a 95% visionary and she was like an 87% integrator.
And we were like, okay, this works great. So Rocket Fuels a great book for I'm gonna, I'll order that. Yeah. I'm reading, what am I reading at the minute? Gosh. How to write copy that sells. Oh, oh I've got so many books at the minute. I've got another one that's one that, that somebody recommended on the,
on the workshop. And then there's another one that is magic words. One that Stu recommended magic words that make people do what you want. Which sounds a bit, which sounds a bit dodgy, but you know, I, words are incredibly important. And I'm also doing a course at the moment, I dunno whether you know this guy, a guy called Colin Boyd.
Yep. I do know self stage What doing self stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great about it. I, you know, I'm so, I wanna say gullible, but I don't think I am because I do make, I do make my own decisions. But if somebody is just puts a good enough story in front of, I'm like, yeah,
I'll have it. Yeah. Yeah. I know there, there's a lot of magic to that actually the woman who I did her coaching program or very early in my career, her name's Brit Siva, she's built an incredible business in my industry. She was in, I think James Wedmore's mastermind with Colin Boyd and he was at her first event and so I met him in person too.
Yeah. So I had so funny, once you get in these masterminds too, you recognize this web of people. Like I'll find one random person and based on our mutual friends on Facebook, I'm like, okay, they're in the same like web that I'm woven into somehow. And everybody knows everybody. It's so interesting and I feel so honored to like kind of be starting to find my way through it.
Yeah. I really like, I really like Colin, but he's, he's, I think he lives in the States, but he is Australian. Yep. I don't know where he lives, but I do know he is Australian And he's Very tall. He's really good. And one of the things that I'm trying to practice now and I'm really not very good at it.
I'm good. I'm pretty good at just winging stuff. So, or I thought I was pretty good at winging stuff. And actually I do need to be far more prepared. I've had some voice coaching because when I, when I create my videos, say, say I'm creating a YouTube video or something like that, and I'll be talking away and I will fit lots of ums and ahs in between my words.
And it's just a, a habit that I've got into and it's not a good habit. And I wanted to work on that and, and stop it. So I had some voice coaching with this, with this woman, which was great. And then I went like In person, No, it was over Zoom. Okay. And who, She could have done it in person,
but it, we did it, we did it over Zoom. She doesn't live that far away from me. She's called Audrey Woodhouse. Okay. Beautiful Woman. Absolutely gorgeous. And she's an actress as well. And then she does this voice coaching. And what she had me do, cuz normally I, if I was gonna do like a podcast session on my own or I was gonna do a YouTube video on my own,
I would just sit there and I would just talk. I wouldn't plan it. Yeah. I'd have a vague idea about what I was gonna say and I would just go and it would just be blah. And, and actually it works okay. And it's all right. But it's not particularly professional and it's not particularly polished. It's, and it may not get you to the next level You Yeah.
It's got that very amateurish feel to it, which is, you know, I, I am, I, I kind of am amateurish and that's who I am and that's fine. But we, she started to help me actually write a script Wow. For different things and then be able to read it in a fashion that it sounded like it was just coming straight from the heart.
But then of course I was like, well how the hell am I gonna remember all of this because I'm 50, I'll be 53 in next next month. Yeah. I can't remember my name sometimes. Yeah. And, and then I always wonder that too, like, people who do keynotes on stage, I'm like, how do they know how to do That?
What, what do they do? So I'm sitting there in front of the camera and I'll have my notes and I'll kind of do a couple of lines and I'm like, I can't remember what, you know, if I've got it all written down, if I was just doing it off the cuff, I'd just speak, it would just come. Absolutely.
Yeah. Be fine. Anyways, it was a lot of ums and ahs, but Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. So I bought a teleprompter. Ooh. So that was a big game changer for me. However, my eyes are now going. So I've gotta practice that now. So that I look like, so Interesting. So you bought a real teleprompter.
What is a real, where do you buy a real teleprompter and what does that Cost? So, so I've got two, I've got some, I've got something that's called a parrot. Parrot. Okay. Yeah. And it's pretty flimsy and a bit rubbish actually. Okay. And I, my little camera, so I've got little Sony's vie one here,
which is this. Okay, Well I've got this. And you put this mechanism on the front and it's got a mirror that goes like that. And then you sit your iPhone here. Wow. And you've got your wording on the iPhone and you press play. Wow. And this comes through and you look into there, but you're actually looking at the screen and you read what you've written,
which is great. Bonny, I don't do any of this. I need to learn all this from You. Yeah, well I can send you, I can send you the details. However, it's so rubbish that the camera keeps on, flopping down. It's, so I'm sitting there and my head be like, so I go, I bought another one,
which is in this box. I've got a massive box here, which I need to get out cause I need to do some in-person videos tomorrow in face camera. And this one's a much bigger one that you can fit an iPad underneath. So I think it's gonna be sturdier, it's gonna be better. I can just set it all up and have it.
But you're saying there's, there's a mirror that the camera can film through. Is that like how I'm hearing it or? No, Let just, just it, Cause even that I would love a mirror because sometimes you watch it back, you're like, why am I doing that with my face? The camera just goes through there. Oh. And it like magnifies it back up.
Interesting. And you've got your, it's called a pad padcaster. Parrot teleprompter. And you just shov your little camera through. Or you can do, if you film on your iPhone, you can get a teleprompter app. I've done that before. Yeah. Big view I think is the one that I've used before and it's worked Okay. Yeah. I,
I struggle with that. I probably will eventually need to push through that, but I struggle with, I'm very much like you just off the cuff. See? And, and one of the things is that every time I have to do a face to camera video, I get all like, Yeah. Put some makeup on and make my look myself, look a bit.
And then I've gotta set my studio up and, and actually what I'm trying to do is set up a dedicated space. So it's always there. And then I just sit down and I just do whatever I need to do. So if I can make it easy for myself, then, then that's what I'm gonna do. I mean, obviously teleprompters exist.
Yeah. Why I didn't think about getting one to help me. I I have no idea. Yeah. Yeah. There's so, because If you don't know, you don't know, do you? But Totally. Or you've just never thought of it. There's so many tools out there, but I think that's just a, a common feeling that has come up for me a a million times over just through getting into this online business is just getting to these points.
And it's like, how do people know how to do these things? Certainly they have to learn this at some point, but it's like those teeny tiny things that are almost never talked about. That it's like, what is this little trick? What is this little trick? And that's again, where I think masterminds are so powerful. You come and you're like,
oh, I just have this little question. I'm stuck on this tiny little thing. And they're like, oh, blah blah, blah, blah, blah. But until you have that conversation, you're just left. How do people do that? I don't know. I know, I know. Yeah. It's amazing. And the, the Colin Boyd thing,
the, the self from the stage. I, I mean I do tell stories and I do talk about, you know, your content is key, you've gotta bring your personality into content, all that kind of. But when I do a live session, again, maybe create a quick presentation half an hour before I really need to get Back to, I'm the same as you Bonny.
I really am the same. But actually he, he, I think he was James, Wedmore's coach and he goes through James's presentations and they, they weave stories into, you know, and it's the stories that are so important because it's that connection. That's why I have bought into so many things because people tell me stories that I connect with and I'm like,
you Fall in love with 'em as people. Yeah, yeah. Stu's really good at doing that too. I'm sure. That's why we love it, you know? Oh yeah, I know. You feel like we know his whole family and his whole life. That's cool. Yeah. And what I love about him is he is so high energy, but in the mastermind sessions he's,
he's slightly paired back. He's Slightly way more chill. You know, so that, so it's not like Characteristic, like he almost goes into a character, not an inauthentic character. I hope this isn't offensive. I'm gonna say it. I hope it's not, you know what Stu reminded me of the first few times I heard his content and I've like said this before and people have been like,
oh my god, do you know Peewee Herman? I don't know if that's an American thing. That's what I thought of it first. Like when he says his funny little taglines and his goofy little, you know, I was always just like, he reminds me of Peewee Herman and then he grew that beard and he lost his Peewee Herman look a little bit.
But yeah, I mean, but no, I feel like, and that's another cool side of it though, because obviously that character works. I'm sure its what he needs to like get the energy going. But sitting in a Zoom call, just like in his office, super chill. For somebody who is typically this like high, high energy character, it does just almost create that more intimate feeling.
Cuz nobody's like that all the time. No, it's really neat. Yeah, it is. I feel, I feel comfortable in those zooms. Yeah. I feel like I'm supposed to be there. Yes. You Know, I don't feel like I'm sort of like a, you know, somebody that, that that's sort of just sitting and, and kind of,
you shouldn't really be there. I feel like I'm part of it. I agree. That's the atmosphere that he's created. I agree wholeheartedly. Yeah. And It's, you know, it's even sometimes funny. So Cody, what a helpful guy loves Cody Birch too. Yes. Yes. What a helpful guy. And when I first met him I was thinking,
why is this guy so helpful? Yeah. Like is there ulterior motives? Is he is trying to sell me something. I know. Yeah. But he is not. He's not. No. I've had one, a one-on-one with Cody that he didn't charge me anything for. I learned so much in that. So one day I would like to pay him for a VIP day.
But yeah, he just gives so freely. And I think that's, again, that's a mastermind. If people are gonna pay this and show up, like we, and then it's inspiring to us. Like how can I be that Cody for somebody else? Like I wanna show up and be super, super helpful right now. Why would I be sitting here spending an hour of my time and not give you every single ounce that's in my brain if I have it,
don't hold back. Yeah, I agree. And it's something that comes naturally to me anyway. Cause I, I've even, when I first started drawing, I shared, I get, and I, I think this is possibly why my social media has done pretty well when I took, so Lucy, I have two full-time employees, Lucy, she will have been with me for three years in October.
And when she first started she came in sort like a social media expert. I wasn't an expert at all. I kind of knew about marketing, I'd done like an online thing and I'd worked in a big studio and she had this checklist. She said, right, I'm gonna go through your social media and I'm going to check all of the stuff that you should be doing.
And she couldn't check anything cuz I wasn't doing any of the stuff that I should be doing. And she's like, I don't understand how you are doing so well because you're not doing any of the stuff that you should be doing. You know what think, But you know what is working. Yeah. I mean I think of as a consumer, I mean in when Instagram first happened and like popped off,
it was this very exciting thing. There was strategy, we understood why the strategy works. I feel like we're in a time, and I'm curious if you feel the same. Cuz my industry is very much Instagram focused. Like all the hairstylists are on Instagram, but it's almost, almost lost it's appeal because it's become so structured and planned and like, and,
and now I think that the people who really stand out, and I think that's why people like TikTok so much is we're back to just like being humans without the strategy, without everybody sounding like the same thing, doing the exact same thing. Yeah. So that's why it worked for you, Bonny. I love that. Yeah. Love continue. You know,
I, I absolutely agree. I mean, I hate structure and I hate planning. Sadly, I have to do it and I know it helps me in my business. But, you know, if I had to all of the content I personally put onto Instagram, Facebook, if I had to plan when I was gonna do it, the content, if I had to plan it sort of like a few days and I just wouldn't post anything.
I, I cannot agree more. And I'm the same way with structure. And sometimes, you know, you just have to find that. But I think that people are drawn to those just like really authentic people that you can just smell it. The second you find someone, you're like, oh, they're just like doing their own thing. And you can tell they enjoy being there and they enjoy doing it.
And I recognize that, I think a lot of people in our position that create something brand new on their own, like they typically have that brain and it's just a different type of brain. We can't pick what we're, you know, if we're, you know, type A or type B, we can't pick that much. Yeah. It was, were you,
you must have gone through the, the, you saw, oh, I can't remember her name now. The, the Instagram session during the Yes. Yes. Yeah, I think her, I don't remember her name either. I can't remember. I can't remember her name. But that, that was really good. And again, that brought up that subject of just being you just,
just finding some content to, to post and, but, but not just finding any old content, actually being really passionate about the content that you're posting. Sometimes it might do really well, sometimes it might do not do really well in the whole scheme of things. Does it really matter? Do you know, I've even, I've stopped looking at likes,
I've stopped looking at how many people have commented because it just becomes this obsession. Yep, Yep. Y you know, and it's not healthy. I'm posting because I really love what I'm doing and I want to share what I'm doing and I get a bit giddy about something. So I post it in case it helps somebody, you know. And on the odd occasion,
I've had a couple of videos, particularly on Instagram, go like viral, crazy craziness. And literally my, you know, my followers have have just gone, I mean, whether they're genuine followers or not? I have no idea. And there's no need to like psychoanalyze it, I think. No, no. I've always been a really big fan of Gary Vaynerchuk's content.
I'm not sure how much you consume him, but he, what he says, and what I really like and it sticks with me, is he says, document over create. So like I almost look at social media, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, all of them. As of course I'm putting it out there and I'm sharing it for the world. But there's a little part of it that's just like selfish for me.
Like I just wanna go back. I love getting memories and seeing what my deep thoughts were two years ago when I experienced this thing. Like I think it's almost like this, like diary almost, that you can go back and I know it inspires people along the way and you're telling stories, so it draws people in. But I come to selfishly post,
even for me, because I know if I didn't make that post two years ago when I went to my very first retreat and all the in depth breakthroughs and takeaways, I would forget that. I wouldn't know that. And so I think there's something really powerful and also just documenting. Yeah. And that means you don't have to sit and spend all this time and all this energy and prep work planning.
It's just documenting your current life and that tells a story on its own. Yeah. I I love that. Absolutely. And I think as well, you know, not, I think if you can find a way of posting that you are excited about and it's not, it doesn't become like something you have to plan or Oh gosh, I haven't posted anything on social media today.
What can I do? If you can find something that genuinely lights you up and you think, oh this, gosh, I'm really excited about this. I'd love to tell other people about it. That's what's going to come through. I agree. It's really odd how mood and excitement and genuine authenticity comes across on social media. The energy you put behind something,
people can feel it how it's a photo and it's words. But that's so true. You can feel the energy behind people and you'll, you'll find yourself gravitating to those people who either have a similar energy to you or an energy that you want to have. I completely agree with that. Something that Bonnie Christine said in her session on Wednesday, and it really,
really made me think, cuz she was talking about our, you know, our, our, our perfect client, our, you know, who, who we were selling to. And she was saying, you know, she said, I am se I am basically selling to me. But, you know, eight years ago, nine years ago. Yep.
And she said, and I have to remember that because each year I get a year further away from the person that I used to be. Mm. And we start picking up, she, she was talking about how she picks up certain words, lingo to do with her industry, whereas somebody who's just starting out has no idea what she's talking about. So she sits and I thought,
you know, this is such a lovely thing to do and we forget this. I think because we're all wrapped up in what we're doing and we wanna help people and we wanna do this and we wanna bring this in. And we forget what those, you know, somebody coming into one of my, into my membership who's completely new to coloured pencil, how are they feeling?
How, how, you know, they, they don't know anything about coloured pencil. And sometimes I, I forget and I almost make an assumption that people should know about these things. And they course they, they don't, you know, well even, Cause you've said it 50 times that you've assumed they've consumed it before. But that's not always the case.
I know, I know. And that, I find that a really, I find that really challenging. It is like, you don't wanna be too repetitive for the people who have watched all 50 times, but then also catch somebody right where they're at. If it's the first time they've consumed you, it's, it's something that we're always really important Juggling.
It's really, really, so she said what she does is she just sits and she reflects and she puts herself back into when she was just starting out. And I thought that that's a really lovely thing. You know, where my brain goes with that though, talking about Instagram posts and like, I wonder I would, if I were to do that,
I would probably scroll way, way, way, way, way, way, way back and see what kind of things I was saying back then. Yeah. And almost like get integrated with that mindset and that level that we, that I was, that's, I need to go. I hate that. I missed that. I think, I think that's,
I think that's a really lovely idea. I haven't deleted anything from my Instagram. Yeah. I've still got the very first post. I know some people, they just delete, they keep deleting. I don't understand why, but I Don't either. I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna go right back. It's gonna take me ages to scroll all the way through.
Yeah. And you can then see, Or even Bonny, you scroll back, I'm gonna do this exercise too. And anyone else who's listening to this can do that. Scroll way back, read 'em. And even the ones that stand out to you, screenshot 'em, put 'em in an album on your phone and keep going back to those thoughts that you had back then.
And that is the perk of the person who has been sharing their thoughts and their growth for so long. You almost get this like ability to time travel back a little bit. And it's really neat. And there's never been, I mean obviously people have written books and stuff, but like, I'm gonna get really weird and meta with it. But I think about this all the time.
Every single post that I put on Instagram, I have to recognize my great, great, great great grandchildren can read that one day that did not used to exist. It's wild. The internet, the, the digital, you know, footprint that we leave is wild to think about and, and not in a scary way. You know, I mean I guess it could be,
but I think about that a lot. Like, I wonder what my great, great grandkid will think about this thing that I did. You know? It's just so fascinating. That's amazing, isn't it? It's amazing. And go back and look at all of the weird things people have said. Yeah. I mean, and it just, humankind, I mean,
I cringe at my Facebook memories every single day when they come up. Sometimes I delete those, the really cringy ones I do delete. Oh yeah. Oh gosh. I dunno. It's the ones of part, the ones of part my past animals. I can't even, I can't even go there. I have to hide those. Cause I get really sad.
Oh, oh God, I get really sad. But no, I love that idea. I, because that's what we do. I dunno whether you with your students, well they're not really students other, they're more sort of peers who are, who are working in the same sort of members. Yeah. You know? Yeah. But I guess with,
with my members, one of the things that I sort of say to them is, you know, take a, make a record. Take a record. And this is something that we're bringing in new to the next launch, which is in September we're actually providing them with something very special that they can record their stuff on and they can, you know,
I love that. Which, which I'm really excited about. Really, really excited about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, so they can record it. But in a way Instagram is exactly the same, isn't it? Yeah. If you're brave enough to put it out there. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Well you've seen my insta I'm start having my hair done on,
on Saturday. I do wanna scroll all the way back now, see what you were doing years Ago. Yeah. It's funny. Oh yeah. I got, I've put a picture up of me having my hair, got all of my hair in foils and everything. Oh, I don't think I saw that one. I need to see that One. That was a,
that was a one of the stories I put in cuz I'm, I'm just, I just, honestly, I'm just, I don't care. You just have to be you. I've got to, I've got to a stage in my life where I literally just, I'm me. Yeah. And That's it. I love that. You know, people work their whole life.
Oh my God, I love it. Stop so funny. Oh dear. But yeah, you know, I, me and, and and that's it. I love that so much. Yeah. So Obviously people are drawn to that so there's no's no fear around it and those that aren't, that's okay. Yeah. I think people recognize that their similarities.
I think that's what it is. Yeah, Yeah. You know, they can show up looking a bit bit scruffy in the pyjamas and all of, not that I don't show up in my pajamas, but I do have Oh, we have the tone. Yeah. Yeah. And some and the tone doesn't have to be super stiff and professional if that's not authentic to you.
Yeah. And people, people will seek out kind of their place and where they feel at home. Yeah, definitely. Oh, oh, well, you know, I, I've, I've really, really loved chat. I felt I knew you anyway cause we have chatted and Yeah. And you are, you are very easy to talk to and connect with and everything.
But that I, that's been a really lovely, a lovely session. Yeah. When I was telling show with my daughter all your work this morning, that's what she said. I was like, I'm doing podcasts with her. And she's like, why? I'm like, you know, I don't really know. We don't have a similar market or anything like that.
But you know what I do know too. I'm not sure if I'm gonna stay in this mastermind forever. I'm not sure if you're going to, but one thing I'm trying to be super intentional about, and I know I can be doing better at, is when you join all these different programs and you start to collect kind of these different relationships, nurturing those and keeping those,
it's so cool. Cause then even if two, three years from now, one of us or neither of us are in this mastermind, just from this conversation alone Bonny, we're gonna feel more comfortable checking in and and keeping up with each other. And I think that's very powerful and I'm just grateful for that opportunity as well. Yeah. Yeah. I mean my,
my Podcast is, Is, is literally, I mean, it's a bonny odd life. That's what it's called. It's Literally just about people that are in my Life. Love. That's it. I love it. I love it. I love it so much. You're inspiring me. I don't have a podcast yet. Oh. When I get through,
I know when I get through this whole season, I had to get through retreat. I'm gonna get through launch. I really think once I have another moment of downtime, I might, I might be bringing one to life. So I'll have to bring you on too. The one we've got. Oh, fabulous. Yeah. Always up for that.
Brilliant. Oh, well thank you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you Bonny, for, for joining me, giving up your, your Precious time Course and you can go sort your time. I've got an 18 year old who has the, so are you in a basement too or are you on a first floor? No, I'm first floor.
Okay. I'm in the basement, so. Yeah. Right. You can really hear them upstairs. But it's ok. My office, well my, my son's usually singing or he's always to our kid ring the doorbell and the dogs go nuts, so I, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, well it's so nice to see you and yeah, I'll see you.
