Bringing In $600K A Year Painting Nails

Loved the part where they highlight that the family’s immigration paperwork costs put them into debt. I don’t think enough Americans realize how expensive it is to immigrate and why not everyone can afford to immigrate. Would love a longer video on her story because it’s not just hard work. She displays business acumen, she knows what it takes to motivate a team, be a good boss. She understands she needs to expand her business beyond just providing a service by starting her product line. She probably had to take a lot of rejections before she got any photographers to allow her to practice her craft on their photo shoots. It takes gumption on her part. She’s a go getter. Being a hard worker won’t get you far if you aren’t making the rights moves for yourself. Also, never underestimate the determination of an immigrant who has to make it work because there are no backup plans. This is what drives her forward.

I loved when she said, “keep looking for YOUR door”. It’s definitely out there and it’s open. Just can’t give up on the search. ❤

I love her mindset about treating her employees right. Workers will work hard if they feel like their work is being valued and appreciated, and they're treated with respect. Good for her for building such a successful business.

good job. The nail business is very saturated, especially in dense areas like LA. For her to step foot in a business which has matured 15 years ago and still coming out on top is no easy feat!

Starting a business in an expensive city is very difficult, and even more so when English is not your first language. This is an incredible achievement.

Definitely one of my favorite stories on here. What an amazing person. To think that she came with nothing and taught herself the business, to where she is now is truly remarkable. Good for her. I wish her continued success.

Love the part where she says “just keep looking for your door”..she’s a wise business woman. Her success is much deserved!

This 10-minute video is a whole lecture on the principles of sound entrepreneurship. "Keep looking for your door." Thanks a lot Jenny.

YES! "The universe is protecting you from a wrong turn, keep looking for your door." You're an inspiration Jenny!!!

Jenny deserves all the success. She did it with grit and determination. She sacrificed a lot for her family.

I’m proud she was able to clear her families debt! That is such an achievement and definitely changed her family tree for future generations!

"working environment is important" she gets it. I wish her all the success in life and her career. ✨✨

Congratulations to Jenny! The nail business is a multi-billion dollar industry. And it has helped so many of my fellow Vietnamese find a financial footing. It's smart that she found her specific niche--vegan. Because a lot of nail businesses are not concept-driven.

I am gonna save this and watch it again now and then. I'm 40 this year and have been putting off my dream and stayed in a job that I hate to support my family. Jenny inspired me and I'm gonna have my first business before I turn 41 next year. All the best to your family Jenn~!~

Such an inspiring story that went through the ups and downs. The way she tears up when she speaks about helping her family. She's been successful despite carry all that responsibly on her shoulders.

What can this lady NOT do?? A truly inspiring individual ♥️

Failure is the universe's way of protecting you from the wrong turn. Thank you for that Jenny Nguyen.

I’ve been to this nail salon before as a walk in and had zero expectations…it’s been 2 years now and these are hands down the best nails i’ve ever gotten and the staff is always amazing 100% recommend this place…had no idea about the back story makes me want to be a more loyal customer

Not as glamorous at it seems. She is right about that. 15 employees being paid the California minimum wage of $16/hr for say 30 hrs/week/per year = $374,000 hypothetically. If you subtract that by the $10,000/mo lease ($120,000/year) for the shop rental then the net is $95,000 before any other expenses. Hypothetically. Definitely respectable and the growth potential is good. However, these videos makes it seem like people are netting these flashy incomes.

"Keep looking for your door." Goodness gracious!!! What an amazing segment. Beautiful story. Congratulations on all of her success, new ventures and continuing growth. Super motivating.
