Our CEO and Founder, Louis Silberman, reached out to connect with Charles Small; A RN, cosmetic injector, and entrepreneur. We meet Charles, previously a trauma/ICU RN who needed a change in his life due to job burnout.

What is Occupational Burnout?

Occupational burnout is defined by Merriam Webster as, “exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation, usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration.” Put simply, it is often described as exhaustion from overwork.

Charles Small then took National Laser Institute’s basic and advanced cosmetic injector training courses, after deciding to pursue a career in medical aesthetics. Following that, Charles opened a successful medspa, @GLO_MEDSPA. Keep reading to find out more about Charles Small’s journey into the medical aesthetics industry.

Meet Charles Small: RN, Cosmetic Injector, and Entrepreneur

Before attending National Laser Institute courses, Charles Small spent 21 years working in the healthcare field as a Registered Nurse. As well as that, 15 of those years he spent working in areas such as open heart, transplant, trauma, and ICU.

National Laser Institute

When Louis asks why Charles decided to get into the medical aesthetics business, he said, “I was working in the hospital…I was just burnt out, like most nurses nowadays. So, I kind of found myself at that kind of crossroads.” Then, a friend suggested National Laser Institute and its courses, because of its esteemed reputation. Charles then met Lou for the first time, calling it, “A major life changer!” All Charles wanted was to make the same amount of money he was making in the hospital, maybe a little more, and he would be satisfied. When asked about his start in the medical aesthetics business as a cosmetic injector and entrepreneur, Charles expressed,

“Having the passion, the drive, getting out there, hitting the streets…I literally started in a room that was like, 10×10, and I would have people in the morning and then I would have people in the afternoon…but in between that though, I also had flyers. I would not let a minute go by. If I had downtime, I would take a bag of flyers and go and shove them on cars…I mean talk about guerilla marketing.”

When asked about any advice he has for career changers or cosmetic injectors who want to own their medspa as an entrepreneur, Charles replied, “You have to be all in, you have to commit to it, you can’t go in halfway and expect you’re going to make a million dollars.”

Following this, Louis asks what are two things Charles enjoys as a cosmetic injector. Charles replied that he loves doing lip injections and tear troughs. Charles built his business on tear troughs and considers tear troughs a specialty.

Career Changes Occurring Now More Than Ever Before

One reason why people are changing careers more than ever before is burnout. According to a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Poll, “32% of people who lost their job during the pandemic and remain unemployed are looking to work in a different industry for their next job…1/3 of workers under the age of 40 are considering changing careers or switching industries since the pandemic.”

As well as that, workers are changing careers to transition out of high-contact jobs. Situations such as burnout, anxiety, and other mental health issues are also promoting workers to switch the industry they work in. In addition, many workers are strategically investing in their talents to leverage the skills that talent brings from other industries. Due to this, workers are learning to collaborate skills across different industries, demonstrating how the talents are linked.
