excited to hear from her because just like myself she Is a Cincinnati native who had her humble beginnings in the Queen City .
Never Give Up It was there at the beauty expo where I learned how optimistic , persistent , and determined Olivia Songs is when it comes to the beauty business . She shared a story about her first-ever Master class where she put her all into the class , made the class affordable for people to take and only had 10 participants enroll . This would be a major defeat for many of the top makeup artists but for Olivia , she used it as a stepping stone to take everything to the next level . “ You can ’ t let anything stop you and discourage you from achieving your goals . You ’ re going to take some failures along the way but there are lessons in the failures and it all works together as you continue to grow in your business and craft ."
