86. Why too much independence is destroying your business
In this first episode of the new year, Lindsey returns with candid insights drawn from her experience launching and working alongside over 20 different businesses. She breaks down the three distinct trajectories she sees founders take: the "Constant Struggler," the "Plateaued Founder," and the "Steady Grower." Lindsey explains that the difference between these outcomes rarely comes down to the business idea itself, but rather the founder’s character, willingness to accept help and ability to handle discomfort.
✨ Highlights ✨
Why Independence is a Red Flag: While we often wear our independence like a badge of honor, Lindsey argues that trying to "do it all" is actually the primary reason businesses stay stuck in the struggle phase.
Being the leveled-up leader is attainable: In order to level up a business, the owner has to put time and energy into leveling up themselves with self-evaluation, higher thinking and smart decision making.
Escaping the "Digital Playbook" Safety Net: If your revenue has plateaued, you might be hiding behind the safety of your computer screen. Lindsey explains why leveling up requires stepping away from the standard digital marketing playbook and embracing "vulnerability risks," such as pitching yourself for local news segments and face-to-face collaborations.
