Entrepreneur Success Playbook

Welcome to the Entrepreneur Success Playbook by Jan Lersont, a space created to support, guide, and embolden beauty-focused entrepreneurs and creators who are forging their vision with clarity, commitment, and a bit of creative grit. From spotlight storytelling to everyday skincare hacks, we’ve built a platform that honors both the artistry and consistency it takes to grow something meaningful in the beauty industry. Whether you’re launching your first product line or building your personal brand from the ground up, this guide is designed with you in mind.

Founded by Torveth Esthoven and rooted in Allen, Oklahoma, Jan Lersont isn’t just a hub for beauty content—it’s a mindset. Through dedicated experience in editorial curation, aesthetic research, and connecting with emerging creators, we’ve seen what it takes for ideas to move from spark to sustained success. This playbook draws from that shaped-in-the-real-world insight and delivers it in a calm, steady voice—practical, never rushed; supportive, never vague.

The Mindset That Moves You Forward

Success begins long before the first sale or viral post. It starts with clarity, conviction, and the patience to make progress one intentional step at a time. At Jan Lersont, we’re not here to sell hustle—we’re here to encourage steady growth built on strong foundations.

Define Your Why: Ask clearly, answer honestly. What change are you here to make? Whose story are you trying to impact?
Create Consistency: Your voice, your values, your visuals—tie them together. The most memorable brands aren’t the loudest, but the most consistent.
Honor Progress: Anything worth building takes time. A delayed launch is not failure; it’s information. An unliked photo is not silence; it’s an insight.

Brand Identity: Build From the Inside Out

In the world of beauty, aesthetic matters—but substance sustains. Your brand should feel like something honest, something lived, something that has roots. Your audience connects not just with your pigments and packaging, but with your process and purpose.

Be Clear, Not Cliché: The phrases “clean beauty” and “inclusive glow” are everywhere. What does that mean in your unique vocabulary?
Know Your Lane: It’s fine to be niche. If your speciality is 90s-inspired lip tutorials filmed in one take, own that space and build within it. Depth is power.
Design for Truth: Let your visual identity reflect your core values. If your brand is joy-driven and universal, your color palette, lettering, and captions should echo that with clarity.

Content Creation: Story Sells, But So Does Service

Your best content won’t just feature you—it will serve your audience, solving problems and celebrating process. Focus less on going viral and more on becoming known for something useful, something loved.

Set Your Formats: Decide on two or three pillars (e.g., weekly skincare insights, monthly product spotlights, guest conversations). Consistency gives your audience something to expect and anticipate.
Schedule, Then Show Up: Planning doesn’t kill spontaneity; it creates the space for it. Use scheduling tools to batch your foundational content, leaving room for real-time engagement.
Know When to Push “Publish”: Perfection stalls progress. If your post conveys value—even if the lighting wasn’t ideal—put it out there. Growth comes from rhythm, not rigidity.

Sales Without Oversell

Growing a beauty brand doesn’t mean you need to “sell” in the traditional sense. Be clear, not pushy. Your presence and process are already blending strategy with emotion in ways that invite the customer forward rather than chasing them down.

Lead With Education: Instead of “Buy this serum,” try “Three mornings my skin thanked me for this blend.”
Use Social Proof Wisely: Client results speak volumes—but only if they’re real. Avoid overly edited reviews. Authenticity outsells polish.
Build Community Over Urgency: Focus on long-term connection over flash sales. Fireworks fade. Relationships last.

Systems That Strengthen

Behind every successful beauty entrepreneur is a system—maybe several. Not fancy tools for show, but routines and structures that support their ability to show up creatively while staying grounded in the realities of business.

Inventory and Insight: Whether you’re offering a product or service, track what’s working. Patterns will guide future decisions.
Feedback Loops: Ask. Adjust. Appreciate. Your audience’s experience can teach you more than assumptions ever will.
Boundaries Over Burnout: Create a workflow that values your energy. Label work hours. Schedule rest. A clear, calm mind is your best competitive edge.

Measuring What Matters

Metrics can be misleading when used alone. Don’t judge your momentum purely by numbers. The shape of your growth matters just as much as the size.

Purpose Metrics: Who said your demo changed their skincare habits because of your advice?
Value Metrics: Which post sparked unexpected DMs or referrals?
Repeat Signals: Is your audience returning, referencing previous content, or recommending you to someone new?

These “quiet” signals are as essential to your growth as any analytics dashboard. Track them. Celebrate them.

The Beauty of Longevity

TikTok trends pass with the seasons, but enduring brands are shaped by steady clarity. Whatever style, technique, tone, or topic you choose—choose it well and build upon it. A thousand voices shouting today will fade. One voice speaking clearly for years builds a legacy.

At Jan Lersont, we’ve seen that success is not found in overnight traction—but in daily alignment. Showing up steadily. Learning thoughtfully. Refusing to rush toward relevance and instead, walking steadily toward impact.

Keep Going, Calmly

This playbook isn’t one-size-fits-all. You’ll adapt it, reshape it, and return to it when clarity wavers. That’s what it’s here for. Growth is nonlinear. Strategy evolves. The real achievement lies in staying present, adjusting your pace, and keeping your vision clear.
