  • The Real Reason You’re Always Behind

    The Real Reason You’re Always Behind
    Feb 18 2026
    If you constantly feel behind in your business, it’s probably not because you’re lazy. It’s because you’re doing too much of the wrong stuff. Jessica Hunter explains why time is the most overlooked asset in aesthetic practices, and why working harder almost never fixes the real problem.

    Understanding where your time actually goes, getting comfortable with delegation, and knowing your numbers can completely change how your business grows. Listen for why perfectionism quietly keeps owners stuck, how patient experience impacts far more than reviews, and why letting go of control is often the turning point.

    The emotional side of being a business owner is where burnout can creep in fast. From small daily shifts that compound over time to knowing when to ask for help, Jessica shares how to build a business that works for you, not one that drains you.

  • The Exit Strategy No One Tells Med Spa Owners About

    The Exit Strategy No One Tells Med Spa Owners About
    Feb 4 2026
    Planning an exit feels like something you’ll deal with “someday,” but Jessica Hunter says it actually starts on day one. She explains what makes a med spa truly sellable, from having more than one provider to systems that don’t rely on the owner to function.

    She also shares why profitability has less to do with your top line and more to do with operational discipline, and how small inefficiencies quietly eat away at valuation. Heavy debt? Lack of recurring revenue? A business built entirely around one injector? Listen for the pitfalls that can turn a promising exit into a dead end.

    But an exit isn’t always a sale. Jessica touches on alternative paths like partnerships, partial buyouts, and stepping back while still earning, plus what to do if you never want to leave the treatment room and just want a business that supports your lifestyle.

    The Hard Reality of Owning a Million-Dollar Aesthetic Practice
    Jan 7 2026
    Seven figures sounds glamorous until you’re the one signing the checks. Jessica Hunter is back to explain why a “million-dollar” med spa often isn’t profitable at all, and what owners should prioritize once the revenue starts rolling in.

    She uncovers where money really goes in an aesthetic practice, what healthy margins look like, and why most first-time owners misunderstand the difference between owner pay and business profit.

    Find out the real reasons aesthetic practices plateau and how to decide whether your next investment should be hiring, automation, or upgrading your EMR.

    And if you’re finally seeing consistent cash flow, that’s when the real work begins. Listen for her take on when to bring in financial help, how to reinvest $25-50K the smart way, and the pivotal moment every owner has to reinvent their role to keep scaling.
