In business and in life, the most important asset you have isn’t money, time, or even connections—it’s your mindset. During our recent SelfCare Vernice Business Boot Camp, we explored the strategies and perspectives that successful entrepreneurs use to create financial freedom, impact lives, and grow thriving businesses. If you want to step into your next level of success, here are some key takeaways from our powerful session.

Mindset is Everything

One of the biggest truths I shared is that “all roads lead to your mindset.” Your mindset determines your actions, your persistence, and ultimately, your results. The fear of failure often holds people back, but as Kobe Bryant once said, “Failure doesn’t exist. It’s a figment of your imagination.” The only true failure is repeating mistakes without learning from them. Instead, use setbacks as stepping stones—evaluate, adjust, and move forward with confidence.

Own Your Future by Owning Your Business

Many people look to jobs and traditional employment as their only path to financial security, but real security comes from controlling your own income. Your business is your vehicle for financial independence and legacy-building. I’ve spent years studying how companies like Mary Kay transform everyday individuals into extraordinary business owners, and one of the key lessons is this: treat your business with the same priority as a career. If you were earning six figures at a corporate job, you’d show up every day and give it your all. Why not do the same for your own business?

Follow the Process and Model Success

Too often, people overcomplicate success. The truth is, if you want to succeed, follow a proven system. I encourage my team to “copy” successful people—until you develop your own confidence and strategies, mirror the habits of top leaders. Whether it’s booking appointments, attracting new leads, or leveraging company resources, trust the process that has already created millionaires. And remember, you don’t need to “fake” the business, just your confidence until you build it naturally.

Learn It, Teach It, Share It

A winning business isn’t just about sales; it’s about education and empowerment. That’s why I emphasize the “Learn, Teach, Share” model. First, master your craft—learn about skincare, body care, self-care, and business strategy. Next, teach others—your clients, team members, and prospects. Finally, share your success and excitement! Your journey is an inspiration to those around you.

Practical Sales Strategies for Freedom

To create the financial freedom you desire, you need an efficient and effective sales approach. The “Fab 5 and 5 for 15” method is a powerful tool to share five products in just five minutes during a 15-minute appointment. This simple, duplicatable process helps you generate consistent bookings and sales. By positioning yourself as an educator rather than a salesperson, you add value to every interaction, making people eager to buy from you.

Leveraging Resources for Maximum Growth

Success doesn’t happen in isolation. I encourage my team to utilize company resources such as the “1st at One” monthly meeting, product trainings, and promotional events. Staying informed and engaged gives you a competitive edge and allows you to work smarter, not harder.

Your Path to Freedom Starts Now

The biggest takeaway from this Boot Camp? You have the power to create your own financial freedom. By shifting your mindset, following a proven system, and taking consistent action, you can build a business that supports your dreams, impacts lives, and creates lasting wealth. Your future is in your hands. The question is—what will you do with it? *Are you ready to take the next step in your business journey?
