Ashley Diana, Founder of Rich Stylist Academy
"Over the past two years, I have participated in two large-scale hair business-building groups. In addition, I constantly purchased hair guide PDFs from stylists I found on Instagram. While these resources were helpful to some extent, what I really needed was one-on-one accountability.
Medium
When I saw that Lesley was starting her own coaching program, I jumped at the opportunity. I had watched her rapidly build her business and wanted to achieve the same results. Lesley helped me fine-tune my website, forms, social media accounts, and even Meta Ads.
I’m already seeing the payoff and have received multiple extension inquiries! It truly gave me the push I needed.
We met every week at a set time for three months. She provided me with call notes at the end of each session, adding them to our shared Google Drive. She also held me accountable for completing the weekly homework assignments.
It was truly the best investment I’ve made for my business. I know I will be signing up with her again within the next six months to continue pushing myself toward achieving my goals.
THANK YOU LESLEY!!!"
