Key Takeaways:

“Our world today, we are a different world, that we have to market ourselves differently, we have to show up differently.” - Molly Klipp

“We had a franchise in 1985 and we paid $89,000 for it, and had to come up with $25,000 more to buy the inventory. And we came up with myself and my husband, and two people were working at the time, and I had to build it from scratch. So I'm here to say, doing permanent makeup is a whole lot easier.” - Molly Klipp

“So when you look at it, yes, I put this much money to pay for the Elevate course. What do you need to back from it? How fast can you make that money back? And that's really what business is about, what you invest, you learn, you get it back, and they're putting to use what you what you've learned so that you can get that money back.” - Molly Klipp

“You know, when I started, I shifted careers at 58. And so it's never too late to learn. I mean, you know, guess what? I'm going to be 64 this year, and I am okay with it. And I'm still learning and I'm learning technology. And you know what? I'm going to continue to learn until I die.” - Molly Klipp

“You can do your posts, you can have somebody set up your custom contacts in your email, you just have to understand the thought process. Being tech-savvy is different than the understanding thought process.” - Molly Klipp

“You have to decide now, where you want to end up, you have to begin with the end in mind. So are you going to be one of the great ones or are you going to be one of the ones who just kind of slide along? You're going to be one of the great ones. You have to educate yourself. And you have to learn and if you could get into this program now, you will have saved yourself years.” - Molly Klipp
