Jana Van Beek, Entrepreneur & Professional Hair Stylist on Preserving Your Energy

Jana Van Beek's favorite toy as a child was...a comb! Not the usual toy, but it makes perfect sense when you meet Jana today, who followed her passion of hair styling to become a Professional Hair Stylist, and creator of Earthy Blonde, an all-natural shampoo product to protect blonde hair from pollution and coloring.

Jana started her first very successful hair salon in South Africa at just 23 years old and was styling hair for fashion week and Miss South Africa. After some unfortunate events, she had to close the business and made her way to Asia. She re-built her business in Saigon from scratch, all while juggling full time school and a teaching job, and now has over 30K followers on her Facebook business page!

In this episode, we discuss:

Struggles and successes Jana had when starting her first hair salon in South Africa
Lessons she learned through having to close her business
Why she is passionate about hair styling
Why you need to learn to preserve your energy as an entrepreneur (or anyone!) and how to do so
The importance of systems and structure for entrepreneurs and what tools we personally use
Why and how Jana created her first hair product, Earthy Blonde, an all-natural shampoo for blondes
