Hey, I’d like to welcome you to another episode of Mission Matters. My name is Adam Torres, and today I am in Florida at Grant Cardone’s headquarters, and I just got done watching a pitch competition. I have another one of the contestants on the show, Artesia. First off, Artesia, welcome to the show. Thank you.
How do you feel? You just got off the stage, just had a lot of fun. Talk to me. I’m actually very excited because I ended up winning second place. Come on, how much money did they put in your pocket? 4, 000. Oh my gosh. How does that feel? I’m blessed. You are blessed. Talk to me about the business. Talk to me about the business.
Okay, so What do I do? Oh, wait. What do you mean, wait, do you just want 4, 000 for it? You better tell me. Okay, so I am a hairstylist. Grant’s gonna come back, get that. No. No, he’s not. I know he’s not. We both know he’s not. But I am a hairstylist. And basically, my, my vision is to provide my clients with, Long lasting confidence and I would do that by providing aftercares and also educational courses for them.
And so talk a little bit more about what it was like to go through and create your pitch to create your like your all of that. What was that like? Okay. So basically I already knew that I wanted to do hair. But When I was put into money, I didn’t know if I, like, really wanted to, like, take it serious. But as I, like, started to progress over time, I started to realize, like, this is actually what I really want to do.
Wow. And, yeah. And you said that you were gonna, like, some of the things you talked about is, like, of course you’re starting now, and you’re growing your business, but maybe one day want to even have a salon or something else? Yes, I do want to have a salon. And I also And I’m also going to teach them how I do hair.
Yeah. So, the confidence part can still be passed on to everyone else. What would you tell the other young entrepreneurs out there as they’re getting started? Like, what would you tell them? Because you’re also, you’re already operating your business, so you’re a little bit further ahead than many. What would you tell them?
That’s a camera, right? Yeah, that’s a camera. Know your worth. You are enough. And Take, whoever your coach is, take in whatever they’re saying because they’re saying it for a reason. They want better for you, so just make sure you work very hard. And you can also take breaks on Saturdays because I do not do work on no Saturdays.
What was it like for you working with the Greg Cardone Foundation? It was actually very exciting. And I was, like I said, I was blessed for having this opportunity to do this. What was it like coming in on, like going on the tour, all that stuff? It’s insane, right? I was looking at it. I was like, this is actually very cool because like, they are like, They like one big group.
Yeah. And definitely they little morning meetings. It’s like one big 10x family, right? Yeah. They little morning meetings with the clapping and the stomping and stuff like that. It was actually very cool. Oh, that’s amazing. Yeah, I didn’t, I didn’t catch that part, but I’ve seen videos before and I’m like, okay, they’re having some fun here too.
Yeah, it was really like, they told her happy birthday. You could tell that they love each other. Oh, that’s that’s great to hear. Last, last question here. Going through a pitch competition, there’s other entrepreneurs out here, not even just young adults. I’m talking about adults out here too that have never been through a pitch competition.
Now you’ve gone through one, you’ve won one, you placed, you got a fat check. What would you tell others as they’re preparing for a pitch competition or getting into it? Like what kind of advice would you give them? Take your time, study your slides, and make sure that you don’t read off your slides because one, it’s your business, so tell it like you know it.
Just have to own up to your business. And other than that, you’ll be fine. That’s awesome. Last thing I want you to do, look into the camera, tell people how they can follow you, social media, your business, whatever you like. Okay, so my Instagram is touchby, touchby underscore Isha and my email is touchbyisha at gmail.
