A lot happens with friendships when you get home from @thebtcshow . For 3 1/2 days, you’ve been inspired to a new level of greatness and you leave with the courage to make the necessary changes in your life. So, I want to give you a little advice. It takes a lot of guts to reach for something others aren’t willing to commit to. So when your friends (and acquaintances) start seeing you changing, and growing, it’s not uncommon for them to not understand this new you. Many will feel uncomfortable, some will think you’ve “changed” and they don’t recognize you anymore. And some will attempt to steal your dreams because they’ve already given up on their own. Don’t let them detract you from your dreams just because theirs weren’t as big as yours. Don’t shrink to make them feel better. Don’t shrink by under playing your hand. Don’t shrink when others appear to be jealous and don’t celebrate your achievement. Remind yourself that you made a choice to level up. Your friends could have made that choice as well, but they didn’t. That’s not your fault. And while it may feel a little lonely at times, know that you’ve got a family who is always here for you. When you attend @thebtcshow , you absolutely know what I mean. Over 3,500 like-minded hairdressers and salon owners will come to Orlando, August 13-15 to “level up” on life, who feel exactly the same way you do. They have big dreams, too and will make you feel worthy of your dreams! And feel free to come alone. We promise you won’t leave alone. You will find your people who will become lifelong supporters and friends when those around you don’t support you! They will keep you going when times get tough! So don’t shrink. Don’t play small. Don’t let others steal your joy. This time is for you. Keep pushing forward! TICKETS ARE ON SALE FOR THE BTC SHOW NOW! It’s far more than education. It’s a jump start for your life!
