At the Sterling Style Academy we receive many calls from students who are interested in becoming an image consultant, personal stylist, personal shopper or fashion stylist. Although we have many informational videos on YouTube telling you about the industry and how it is a growing profession, we know that our prospective students still have their doubts and that their significant others always question the viability of this industry and if you will make money being an image consultant, personal shopper, and personal stylist.
The key to anyone’s success as an image consultant, personal stylist, or personal shopper, and more importantly, as an entrepreneur are the following:
1) PASSION. Only with a love for this industry will you truly succeed. You may choose a niche or direction you wish to take upon completion of our certification program, however fundamentally you must have a true love for image, fashion, and style.
2) DRIVE AND MOTIVATION. These are the next key components in order to become a successful image consultant, personal stylist, and personal shopper. Becoming a success doesn’t happen overnight. It requires hard work, persistence, consistency, and perseverance not to give up even when the going gets tough. Any business owner goes through their business ups and downs – therefore it is important to have faith, keep calm and carry on.
3) CREATIVITY AND INSPIRATION. This is the next necessary component for success. Not only do you need to be creative in your styling abilities and be able to work with clients to dress them according to their personal style, you must also be creative in the manner in which you approach business. In order to become successful, you need to be able to promote yourself, your business, and your abilities to the best of your capacity. This requires you to think out of the box, be flexible, and most importantly be able to take risks. Those who succeed will always diversify their businesses to meet the current economic demands. And when creativity meets inspiration, you have success.
4) SELF-BELIEF AND SELF-CONFIDENCE. Believing in yourself is the last key component in order to be successful. If you truly want to build a business as an image consultant, personal stylist, and personal shopper, you have to really want it like nothing else you’ve ever wanted, believe that you can have it, and allow the universe to open doors before you. Every opportunity becomes a business opportunity to foster relationships, educate people regarding your services, and attain new clients. If you are confident in your own abilities, others will have confidence in you and your capabilities. If you believe that you can be successful and never doubt yourself for more than a second, you will be successful and you will develop the career of your dreams.
