EP 088: How to Grow into the Leader Your Business Needs with Njeru Nthigah

We’ve all heard the term “born leaders,” but the reality is, everyone needs to be a leader to steer their life in the direction of the reality they seek to create. 

Why? 

Because you are the leader of your life. 

And when it comes to your business, it doesn’t matter whether you work as a solo aesthetician or you’re leading a team, successful businesses only become so when there’s someone effectively steering the ship and keeping it on course toward its desired destination. 

But what if you’re not someone that considers themselves a “born leader”? 

Or what if you’re moving from being a leader of one to a leader of many?

As my guest on this episode of Spa Marketing Made Easy explains, everyone has the capability to be a great leader; it’s simply a matter of owning your personal leadership and crafting a Growth Plan to help you get there.
