Feeling like your dream of owning a wedding venue is slipping away?

Take a breath — and don’t give up.

In this solo episode, Lindsay Lucas, wedding venue consultant, shares a powerful mindset shift that could change everything: You don’t have to build the dream all at once. You just have to start smart.

If traditional funding options said "no," it might be time to go back to the drawing board and explore building your venue in phases — a strategic, sustainable approach that reduces financial risk, opens more funding doors, and even comes with added benefits like spreading out tax liabilities over several years.

You’ll learn:

• Why “no” from a bank isn’t the end — it’s feedback for your plan

• How breaking your project into 2–3 realistic phases can get you to the finish line faster

• The long-term financial and operational upsides of a phased approach

• How to regroup, rethink, and relaunch your venue dream without losing momentum

Whether you’re in the early dreaming stage or facing obstacles mid-build, this episode will help you realign with your vision and move forward — wisely.
