Wondering what I'm doing wrong

Good afternoon everyone, I'm new to the forum. Stumbled on it 4 o clock this morning while researching things. Here's the delima.  I've been licensed for almost a year , and decided to start my business right out of school. I know not a real good decisions. I used to pay booth rent at a spa, until the owner closed it down due to an eviction. It was in a prime location in Buckhead ( located in Atlanta ).  I guess my biggest question is what am I doing wrong. I've created flyers with vista print,  created a website www.signature5skincare.com and also I started a blog http://www.signature5skincare.com/apps/blog . Below are the flyers I made for Christmas. The products I've used  on my family, friends and clients  are IMAGE ( the backbar line is limited) , PCA skin, script rx, and Rhonda Allison. I must say I love their chemical peels for PCA skin. I really have a passion for chemical peels.  For some reason I couldn't fall in love PCA line.  I don't know if I'm not giving the lines a chance, or what. I wasn't a big fan of Skin script rx, simply because I tried one of their enzymes, and don't know if it was me, but on the right side of my cheek caused a breakout. Which I never experienced before.  I usally don't try skincare lines on my own face, but I will say I regret I did. I currently ordered the Rhonda Allison " Hibiscus Facial" series from her, and about to give it a try. The one thing I love about PCA, and IMAGE, and maybe Skin Script, was there isn't a opening order. Rhonda Allison requires a 1,500 opening order. That would've been good a year ago when I invested 987 dllrs in PCA.  I guess I need a little direction.  Where to start, and what am I doing wrong. I live in a city where over 5 million ppl.

I lived only ten minutes away from Hyde Park. South Tampa, and I used to walk along bayshore in the evening.

How awesome !  Used to live on Vero Beach and in Winter Park, Orlando, Longwood  FL. nothing like the tranquillity of water - can you tell I miss the waves ?  You should not have any issues finding the clientele you are desiring :)  I will leave you to business planning have to press on with the day as well :)  Take care

Yes I must admit, you do not miss the water until it's not there anymore. I visit home every two months and get excited when I see the water. At one point I considered opening a spot on Davis Island near the water with a infinity pool that look as if it's flowing in the ocean. But of course that would be extremely expensive, and have to come in the future. Also Florida is a retirement state which is a good plus. Enjoy your day as well and take care.

Hi Brittnee!

It's not so much.. that what are you doing wrong".. as what may be an alternative way to do it! LOL. Congrats on branching out on your own! I also went out on my own 2 years ago. I have a dual license both in massage & esthetics. My strategy... start small!! I only have 1 product line that I use and can make a residual income off of as well! I also got my name out there to the public by doing the "groupon"  & other similiar advertising by offering a discount for people to get to know me and trust me to come back. Nu Skin has NO minimum order is only available distributors like myself.. and is a GREAT anti-aging line with the ability to "RESET" DNA patterns in the skin :) MY CLIENTS LOVE IT!  More info if you want!! Hang in there!

Thanks for the response.  I looked on the website and looked at a couple of videos. Just to make sure I understand the concept correctly there is a little system that's sold with the skincare purchases and the  clients use this at home? Also I am considering on starting small because investing into a lot at once is a bad decision.
