This episode features the High Leverage Practice of Possibility with Amber Stegman. As a true “possibilist” she shares her delightful story of scary risk-taking that moved her from a clock-watching job to being a salon business owner with 21 stylists renting space. With her “I am not willing to fail” attitude, Amber cuts to the chase about what it means to follow your dreams and live an authentic, creative life. Her story of believing in something bigger for herself is an inspiration for all to just “go for it”!
Amber Stegman is a businesswoman who in January of 2020 purchased her own Studio South Salon that has twenty-one rooms/chairs. Dually licensed as a cosmetologist and aesthetician, she tirelessly worked her way from being an employed stylist to owner in her 30”s. Savvy in offering quality niche services to meet client needs, she became certified in sugaring (instead of waxing) and hair extensions in a region where none of these options existed.
Amber graduated from Mayville State University, Mayville, ND with a business degree. She worked for two years at State Bank and Trust in Fargo in the IT department. In spite of success and promotion in that role she left to attend Joseph’s West Academy cosmetology school, also in Fargo and began her dream career at MJ Capelli Salon. Now with her business, Amber at Studio South, she and her husband Tyler live in Grand Forks, ND with their two daughters.
