What's Inside Today's Episode

In this episode, Jessica Kidner shares her journey from running a large, stressful beauty salon to creating a more balanced, profitable business from her home studio. She tackles the common question: should you rent a space or work from home? According to Jessica Kidner, it’s not just about which option makes more money—it’s about which model supports the lifestyle you want.

She offers five key questions to help guide your decision:

  1. What lifestyle do you want to create?

  2. Can your current clients support the rent?

  3. Are you seeking status or sustainability?

  4. What financial risk are you comfortable with?

  5. What season of life are you in—remember, business models don’t have to be permanent!

Jessica Kidner emphasises that both choices—home studio or rented space—are valid and should align with your personal and family needs. Your beauty business should support your life, not consume it. Download her Beauty Business Blueprint for more guidance.
