About the Guest:

Charlese was an entrepreneur in the beauty industry for 20 years. She built a hairstylist clientele more than once, opened and ran her own salon for 7 years, and educated for multiple product companies in the hair industry, speaking on stages to other salons and luxury retailers. An emergency back surgery in December 2018 changed everything. She retired from hair, sold her home and moved in with family to properly recover. In trying to find herself, she realized she could still be herself... the friend who has the ability to listen to a woman and make her feel confident and beautiful, but this time using her business experience as well as her writing talent. Charlese’s strengths are Copywriting and content creation, and she loves to support female business owners in reaching their goals. Since she started her company in the summer of 2019, she has been published in Entrepreneur.com, and featured in Self Magazine, interviewed on dozens of podcasts, spoken at 10+ summits, worked with multiple 6 and 7-figure clients, and is now selling her first course on… having your best launch, ever! And she is currently a staff writer at Incredible Marketing, Inc., where she writes high-ranking SEO blogs and websites.
