Interview with Successful EN Graduate Leanne Heard
In 2012, several major life events occurred that led me to start my business as a nail technician. First, I split with my husband and had to step down from my job as a shop manager. My 4-year-old daughter was struggling with me working up to 12 hours a day.
To afford the mortgage on my own, I needed a minimum 20 hour contract, but I was only offered 16 hours. I wanted to properly learn the skills and use the extra income to cover my mortgage alone. With my unpredictable work schedule, taking an Essential Nails home-study course was the best solution.
I would advise someone who's just starting out to practice as much as you can. Use friends and family to practice on and to model your work. Persevere, we all start off somewhere, and practice makes perfect.
