Every summer, I’m reminded of just how valuable the business I’ve built really is. This year, my younger son finishes school two weeks before his older brother. Instead of scrambling to find childcare, juggling summer chaos, or putting my business on pause, I made a different choice; I’m taking my younger son to France to hang out with friends. My husband and older son will join us later, and I’ll continue to run my business seamlessly from wherever we are.
This isn’t just a lucky break. It’s the direct result of the conscious decision I made years ago: to build a styling business that runs online, generates consistent monthly income, and fits around my life; not the other way around.
And this is exactly what I now teach other personal stylists to do inside my Stylepreneur Accelerator program.
Because here’s the truth: you don’t have to choose between freedom and success. You can have both.
Let me show you how.
Most personal stylists are trained to work in person. They learn how to shop with clients, conduct wardrobe edits in their homes, and do in-person consultations. It’s a fulfilling and personal line of work; but it’s also extremely limited.
You’re tied to your local area.
Your income is capped by how many hours you can work.
And when summer arrives? Everything slows down. Clients go on holidays. Kids are off school. Schedules get messy. Many stylists find themselves putting their businesses on hold; and every time they stop, it gets harder to start back up again.
That’s the difference between having a job and having a business.
And I want to help you build a business.
When I shifted my own business online, I didn’t just create more flexibility, I created a whole new way of working that made space for everything that matters to me: my family, my freedom, and my financial goals.
Here’s what happens when you take your styling business online and learn how to structure it the right way:
1. You stop trading time for money.
Instead of being paid only for live consultations, you can create offers, trainings, and services that sell while you sleep. Whether it's online colour analysis, digital lookbooks, or group styling programs—these things don’t require you to be “on” all the time.
2. You can reach clients anywhere in the world.
No more relying on local referrals or foot traffic. You can serve clients across time zones, countries, and continents. If they have Wi-Fi, they can work with you.
3. You gain momentum year-round.
No more losing steam over the summer, or scrambling to “start again” in September. When you learn how to automate and schedule parts of your business, you can rest without going backwards.
4. You can structure your income.
Consistency isn’t a fantasy. Inside Stylepreneur Accelerator, I teach a 5-step success path that brings in 3–5K+ months regularly - not just when the stars align.
5. You create a life-first business.
Not the other way around. And that changes everything.
Let’s go back to this summer for a moment.
My younger son gets off school earlier. I didn’t want him sitting around bored for two weeks while his brother was still in school. So instead of feeling stuck, I decided to go to France with him.
This trip doesn’t derail my business—it fits around it. I’ll continue running coaching calls, writing newsletters, and mentoring my clients, all while sipping a cold coffee in the French sun and spending quality time with my boy.
And the best part?
I won’t return in August feeling like I have to start from scratch. Because my business doesn’t shut down when I travel. It keeps moving, serving, growing.
That’s the power of building an online-first styling business.
If building a location-independent styling business sounds like a dream, you might be wondering: Why don’t more stylists do this?
The answer is usually fear, confusion, or misinformation. Most stylists fall into one of these traps:
• “I don’t know how to find clients online.”
• “I hate social media.”
• “Tech terrifies me.”
• “I’m not sure what I’d even offer.”
• “I’m too late—it’s already saturated.”
I get it. I’ve heard every one of these fears from the women I coach—and they are real. But they are not permanent.
That’s exactly what the Stylepreneur Accelerator is designed to address. We walk step-by-step through building an online styling business that works for you, even if:
• You’re not tech-savvy.
• You don’t have a huge audience.
• You don’t want to work 24/7.
• You’ve been burned by cookie-cutter strategies before.
This isn’t about turning you into a carbon copy of someone else’s brand. It’s about helping you create a business that supports the life you actually want.
This program is for stylists who are ready to stop hustling and start building smart.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
• Define your niche and message so the right clients come to you.
• Create irresistible offers that are aligned with your strengths.
• Build simple sales systems that generate consistent income.
• Use mindset tools to move through fear and doubt.
• Set up your business to run online—from anywhere in the world.
You’ll also get weekly coaching, support from a global community of stylists, and access to all the behind-the-scenes strategies I use in my own business.
And if you want a business like mine—one that keeps going through summer, through moves, through motherhood, and through life—this is the place to build it.
There will never be a “perfect” time to do this. Life will always be full of school holidays, illness, transitions, and curveballs.
But here’s what I know: the sooner you build your business to support your life, the less those curveballs will knock you off course.
You deserve to have a business that brings you freedom.
You deserve to spend summer in France with your child and not lose a single step in your income.
You deserve to stop starting over.
If you're a personal stylist who’s ready to:
• Stop the feast-and-famine cycle
• Build a flexible, online business
• Earn 3–5K+ per month consistently
• And finally create the freedom you went into this for...
Then I invite you to come join me inside the Stylepreneur Accelerator.
