From Hairdresser to $22K/Month Business Owner—Without Leaving Her Passion
Lauren Means proves you don’t have to walk away from what you love to build serious income. By leveraging the Build Remote system, she created a profitable cleaning business in under four months—while continuing to do hair full time. Lauren joined Build Remote with one clear goal: create an additional stream of income without giving up her passion for hairstyling. She wasn’t looking to escape her career—she simply wanted leverage, flexibility, and financial growth.

Her momentum started immediately. Lauren closed her very first booking the same day her business went live. Within 90 days, she had crossed $10,000 per month, and by the start of her fourth month, she scaled to over $22,000 per month.
Her success came from consistency: showing up to classes, leaning on mentors and top earners, doing her own research, and building real relationships inside the community that helped her move fast and confidently.
What’s Next for Lauren
Looking ahead, Lauren plans to continue scaling her cleaning business and eventually expand into additional service areas. At the same time, she has no intention of leaving her career as a hairstylist—because it’s what she loves.
Build Remote gave her options. Now she’s growing two income streams side by side, on her own terms.

Final Takeaway
Not every Build Remote student is trying to quit their 9–5. Some of our top earners have other dreams, passions, and careers they love—they’re simply looking for an additional revenue stream.
Lauren Means is the perfect example. She built a business generating over $22,000 per month in less than 120 days, all while continuing to do what she loves most—doing hair. This is what building with intention, systems, and support really looks like.
