Lindsay’s Business Philosophy: Flexibility and Personal Goals

One of the standout features of Lindsay’s approach to business is her emphasis on flexibility. Unlike the often glorified hustle culture, Lindsay has curated a business philosophy that fits seamlessly with her personal life. Being a mother of five, she has a keen understanding of the need to balance family responsibilities with business ambitions.

Lindsay is inspired by others’ success stories, yet she creates her goals to align with her specific beliefs and desires. Her approach ensures she isn’t overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations and allows her to enjoy the process of growing her business at her own pace while still reaching her financial goals.

Summer Business Strategy: A Time for Balance and Reflection

During the summer, Lindsay focused on maintaining her current client load rather than growing it. This strategy allowed her to spend ample time with her family and rejuvenate. She shared a mutual understanding and support with a colleague, which further facilitated her decision to take a slow and steady approach to business during these months. Lindsay’s summer was filled with family activities that left her refreshed and ready to tackle new business opportunities by the end of the season.

I agree with Lindsay completely, and reiterate that the beauty of a service-based business lies in its customizable nature. Entrepreneurs have the freedom to choose their work intensity and client load, just as Lindsay and I did during the summer months.

She loves seeing her clients thrive and encourages them to use ads effectively, in order to maximize their own business and goals. This genuine dedication to her clients’ success has been a significant factor in her rapid business growth.

The Journey to First Client Acquisition

Interestingly, Lindsay’s first client acquisition happened during a particularly hectic personal moment. During a drive to the hospital for her daughter’s emergency tonsillectomy, she had a casual conversation with a local dentist, who was also a family friend. This conversation eventually led to a business deal, proving that opportunities can arise even in the most unexpected situations.

Lindsay’s proactive nature and willingness to ask for help and support have also contributed significantly to her achievements. She actively engages in a community where she offers and receives support, making her an integral part of the Strategist Society.

She particularly values the instant communication and assistance available through platforms like Voxer.

Her time management and task efficiency have vastly improved with the implementation of new tools and strict task scheduling. Utilizing a timer to manage tasks has allowed her to work smarter, not harder, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Finding Clients Online: Leveraging Small Town Connections

A significant challenge Lindsay faced was finding clients, especially connecting with potential clients online via LinkedIn and Facebook groups. Initially, her success stemmed from leveraging personal connections in her small town. I explained that Lindsay’s success wasn’t about luck but about effectively leveraging existing connections. I also emphasize the importance of mindset, seeing the small town as an opportunity rather than a limitation.

The Power of Community Support

Lindsay’s involvement in programs like the Strategist Society has been pivotal in her journey. The mentorship calls, team support, and quick communication channels have provided a nurturing environment for learning and achieving goals faster. This community support is invaluable for anyone looking to succeed in a service-based business.
