Why Burnt Out But Not Booked Out Happens to Personal Stylists

If I could go back and tell myself one thing as a stylist who took six years to hit seven figures, it would be this. Stop trying to sell confidence. You can't deliver it. And the longer you keep trying, the longer you'll stay stuck, overworking, undercharging, and wondering why your marketing isn't landing.

Most stylists don't actually know why their work works. They fall back on vague promises because they're not sure what creates transformation. So they promise confidence, attract clients who want to outsource their emotional world, and end up doing emotional labor instead of professional styling work. This is why so many stylists are burnt out but not booked out.

In this episode of the Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I'm explaining why confidence isn't a deliverable, what actually makes styling work transformational, and how to stop attracting clients who should never have been in your world in the first place. If your business feels like it depends on how your clients feel on any given day, this episode will change how you think about everything you're selling.
