How to Reinvent Yourself When Your Business No Longer Works w/ Lyndsi Weise

Imagine building a business for over a decade—pouring your heart and soul into it—only to watch it slip away. What do you do when everything you thought was secure suddenly isn’t?

That’s exactly what happened to Lyndsi Weise, and in this episode, she shares the raw truth of losing a successful business, rebuilding from the ground up, and the lessons she learned the hard way. From starting in social selling after receiving an obnoxious cold message (yes, one of those messages) to creating a thriving coaching business, Lyndsi opens up about the struggle of reinvention, trusting her intuition, and why playing it safe in business is never really safe at all.

🔑 What You’ll Discover:

• The gut feeling that told Lyndsi her business was slipping away before it actually did—and why she listened
• How she went from a cold-message skeptic to a social selling leader (before it all crumbled)
• The brutal reality of losing a decade’s worth of work—and how she turned it into a fresh start
• Why being multi-passionate is both a blessing and a challenge (and how she’s using it to her advantage now)

If you’ve ever felt like you had to start over, or you’re afraid of putting all your eggs in one basket, this episode is a must-listen. Lyndsi’s story is proof that reinvention isn’t just possible—it might be the best thing that ever happens to you.

00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:29.560
James Dunn: all right. Hello! Hello! Hello! And welcome back to the show, everybody. I'm excited because I've got yet another interview episode. I've got a good friend on here. I'm going to say a good friend, somebody that I've known for a while, but, interestingly enough, we've never had a 1-on-one conversation before, so I'm excited to dive a little bit more into her story here a little bit more about her, and have her share some of experiences. Not just with you guys, but with me as well. So, Lindsey Weiss, welcome to the show

2
00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:31.809
Lyndsi Weise: Hi! Thanks for having me

3
00:00:31.810 --> 00:00:54.030
James Dunn: Well, I'm excited to have you here, as I said, looking forward to getting to know more like we've we've met on a networking call, so we see each other quite often. Unfortunately, I haven't been on there like in the last month or well, last couple of weeks, and then Julian went off on her little couple of week hiatus. I'm like, No, wait. I was just getting ready to get back on the call, so I haven't seen each other in a little while. But yeah, it'd be good to learn a little bit more about you, and go a little bit deeper than what we do on that call.

4
00:00:54.170 --> 00:01:19.280
James Dunn: And so for maybe for you or for the people who maybe have not heard one of these interview episodes before. Kind of what I do with these episodes is I reach out to people. And I connect with people who are successful on some level in business. Typically, it's in the entrepreneurial space, but not always. Maybe it's people who are successful in relationships or sports or something, you know, but just they've got more of a growth mindset, and they've gone through some challenges in their life. Maybe some struggles.

5
00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:44.019
James Dunn: and what I ask them to do is maybe just kind of share some of their story, because, as each one of us here, others share their story, we can maybe see ourselves and them and recognize. Oh, wait a minute. If they've had this challenge, and they've had that challenge. Maybe I'm not alone. Maybe I'm not the only one that's ever gone through this before, and that helps each one of us, you know, go through that a little quicker and not be stuck in it, so much so does that sound like a conversation you're down for

6
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:44.675
Lyndsi Weise: Yep.

7
00:01:45.070 --> 00:02:01.670
James Dunn: Awesome, awesome sauce. So, as my daughter said, awesome sauce! She likes to draw that out. I don't know where she got that from, but that's her big thing. So, Lindsay, let's just jump right into it. What is the biggest challenge or struggle that you've had in your life? Maybe maybe it's a

8
00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:10.890
James Dunn: biggest risk that you've taken. But whatever that happens to be, what's what's the biggest thing that you've kind of gone through, that you felt like was a struggle. But what did you learn from that? After having gone through that

9
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:40.699
Lyndsi Weise: Well, I feel like 2 things are coming up. But I'll speak to business one is in motherhood, so we'll go. We'll go into business with this? I. So I come from the social selling world that I have 14 years of experience in business online. And it all came from this wild, cold message that I was sent that was so obnoxious that I'm sure if you've gotten one, you know how that goes.

10
00:02:41.108 --> 00:02:55.811
Lyndsi Weise: That led me to building a business via a Facebook group, which is how we're here today. But that 1st business that I built for over a decade that was very successful actually got taken.

11
00:02:56.220 --> 00:03:10.759
Lyndsi Weise: That started to decline over the past couple of years, and I thankfully have a great intuition, and I already could feel it. And I was like, Oh, my God, gotta we gotta like. This is not good, because it was something that I was very involved in for many years.

12
00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:26.359
Lyndsi Weise: and because of the framework I had created, I had started this coaching business, so I was already starting to get ahead of the curve. But, like, yeah, in in the progress of growing a new business, a very successful business that I had grown for over a decade was gone. So

13
00:03:26.470 --> 00:03:28.085
Lyndsi Weise: it's been a challenge

14
00:03:28.490 --> 00:03:45.240
James Dunn: Yeah. Yeah. And so, what if there was one big lesson that you kind of took out of that, you know, having gone through that. And then coming out on the other side of it. Was there a specific lesson, maybe, that you picked up from that, or something that really just stands out like I'm kind of glad that happened in a way

15
00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:49.150
Lyndsi Weise: So I I think, like

16
00:03:49.710 --> 00:04:12.489
Lyndsi Weise: some of the things that come up for me is, I've always been a very multi passionate person, and I've always had this like vision of having multiple businesses and like this, just how my little ambitious self has always been. And I was so all in on the one and it was really, you know, when you look back, I was like, man.

17
00:04:12.590 --> 00:04:25.980
Lyndsi Weise: The lesson here is to like, allow yourself, as you successfully build one to diversify, to expand. Like it's. It's not easy to do all these things at once, but it's just. I was so afraid

18
00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:46.709
Lyndsi Weise: to diversify and start this coaching thing I actually knew back in like 2015, we're talking like 10 years ago. I knew that I created this framework, and I was encouraged to start speaking on it, teaching on it. And I was like, Oh, no, no! And I stayed in the one zone. And so, you know, looking back on it, I was like Whoa! I should have

19
00:04:47.200 --> 00:04:50.660
Lyndsi Weise: gotten my gotten started, but I was so afraid so

20
00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:56.414
James Dunn: Oh, yeah, nice, you know. And speaking of quote, unquote

21
00:04:57.390 --> 00:05:22.939
James Dunn: challenges or struggles, I kind of goofed already in this episode, I told you before we started this call, that I was going to give you a chance to introduce yourself, and I just jumped right into it and ran with it, and one of the things I love to do. I don't edit any of these episodes. I love to show people not intentionally, but it seems to happen so frequently. I goof things up, and we all goof things up. And so, if you don't mind, let's back up just for a second. And how about you? Introduce yourself before

22
00:05:22.940 --> 00:05:23.460
Lyndsi Weise: Sure.

23
00:05:23.460 --> 00:05:24.649
James Dunn: Into this episode

24
00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:48.579
Lyndsi Weise: Yeah, sure. So I'm Lindsay Weiss. I'm in Arizona. Live in North Phoenix. I have twin boys. They're 12 years old and married, and I have been in business for 14 years online. Literally, as of April first, st which is wild to say. But it you know the the I've kind of like discussed like where it's kind of started. I started in the social selling world

25
00:05:48.630 --> 00:06:13.330
Lyndsi Weise: honestly, the cold, obnoxious DM, that was sent my way. I was in the corporate space, and I was like looking. I was like, there's no way I'm fit for this cause. There was the commute, and it was a very toxic environment. I worked in. The pay was not, you know. It was very capped, if you will, and I am very ambitious, and I also wanted time for these kiddos and so

26
00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:35.799
Lyndsi Weise: I got this message that I was like, is this a robot? But it led me to eventually, you know, she did some really great things right with content. That led me into getting involved in that space. But it taught me like this is not how I want to approach business. So I then started building a community and a Facebook group. And that framework that I had

27
00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:56.879
Lyndsi Weise: created that help generate leads nurture leads, convert them. That had built this very successful business, not only through me through other, you know, teaching others to do. It has led me here to now, coaching people. I work with coaches, course, creators, realtors, social sellers. I work with authors. So that's just a little intro. And that's where we're at today.

28
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:02.520
James Dunn: Nice. I love it. Yeah, I love how life just naturally brings things to you when you need them the most. So that's awesome.

29
00:07:02.650 --> 00:07:09.060
James Dunn: all right cool, so we can dive into the next question here. So what's a belief you had to let go of to move from unsure to unstoppable

30
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:13.629
Lyndsi Weise: Oh, I think like.

31
00:07:14.910 --> 00:07:39.579
Lyndsi Weise: you know, I feel like this is building a muscle, and I feel like I have to like go every day, you know. Because there's days in like this space of business where I'm like, I don't think this is growing anymore. And those are just like so dramatic thoughts like, and I'm and so I have to like reel it in. This isn't every day, but like it's that like piece of K.

32
00:07:39.910 --> 00:08:01.659
Lyndsi Weise: This is a little wild of a thought, bring it back in what is really true. And like really having to look at like even small things, because I'm very ambitious that I look at these big dreams and goals. And so when the small stuff, which is what is important is like moving you forward, I'm over here like this isn't working. But when really

33
00:08:01.850 --> 00:08:12.530
Lyndsi Weise: it's actually not true. So it's it's really just asking my question, my myself. That question of like, is it? Are you? Is this really true? And that rolls me back in

34
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:18.200
James Dunn: Yeah, wait. So you mean you just didn't like, you know, have a great mindset one day, and now it's stuck forever

35
00:08:18.615 --> 00:08:34.830
Lyndsi Weise: 14 years of like understanding growth and studying books and like listening to the podcast and I mean, it's a muscle like, I have days where I'm like somebody and me. I need to sit down with someone because

36
00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:35.610
James Dunn: Yeah.

37
00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:38.302
Lyndsi Weise: I need a refresh. So yeah, no.

38
00:08:38.900 --> 00:08:52.310
James Dunn: So it's a constant evolution of getting to a certain point. We feel pretty comfortable, and then days come along to kind of knock you on your butt a little bit, and then you get back up and we try it again, and just feed your mind with positivity and and things like that. So that's really a big part of it.

39
00:08:53.150 --> 00:08:53.470
Lyndsi Weise: Yep.

40
00:08:53.470 --> 00:08:54.130
James Dunn: Awesome

41
00:08:54.350 --> 00:09:18.689
James Dunn: cool. Yeah, I know the same thing happens for me where? And you hear this so often in the entrepreneurial space. And I think it's a big part of why I love hearing the stories like this is because when we do just look at authors or people who are on TV or all these things. All you're seeing is that little highlight reel, that little clip they put together, you know they don't. You don't hear the stories as much about. Well, today looks awesome. But yesterday was a complete shit show, you know. That was just. Oh, my gosh.

42
00:09:19.090 --> 00:09:23.050
James Dunn: this was the worst day ever. And I was literally just watching

43
00:09:23.100 --> 00:09:42.239
James Dunn: a little earlier today. I don't watch a ton of TV, but I love to watch things that, you know show people at the height of their profession. And it's the Netflix Series docuseries. What do we call it? Full swing? It's about golfers. I'm not huge into golf, but I love hearing the stories of these players, and they had a couple of them that were both trying to get onto the Olympic teams. This was for 2024,

44
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:55.540
James Dunn: and you know they had to go out, and they had to play these particular tournaments, and they had to do very well in them. And you're watching these guys. And these are like professional golfers, and they're chucking it off into the woods. And they're chucking it into the sand trap. And all these things. And you're like, I thought these guys were pros. Man, I can do that crap.

45
00:09:55.650 --> 00:10:18.289
James Dunn: you know. And so it's interesting just to see people. A little more openly. Share that, hey? We all struggle some days. We're not all going out there and being like tiger woods and sinking holes, you know, from 300 yards out. Consistently. It's the ups and the downs, and learning to just ride that wave and be okay with it, and understand that this is all part of the journey. Never! You don't just get to the top and stay there

46
00:10:19.310 --> 00:10:20.089
Lyndsi Weise: No.

47
00:10:20.870 --> 00:10:28.679
James Dunn: No, it's cool. So what would you consider if you can think of anything specific? What would be the best advice you ever got to help you push through doubt.

48
00:10:32.992 --> 00:10:39.749
Lyndsi Weise: I think it's it's like one foot in front of the other, and it's you know.

49
00:10:40.380 --> 00:10:47.159
Lyndsi Weise: Doubt is such a is a tough one, I think, for so many, and even myself, of just like

50
00:10:47.970 --> 00:11:12.729
Lyndsi Weise: when you're in the challenge. It's very hard to like. Be on. Step out for a minute and be like. This is just a moment. This is temporary, like we need to. You know, we, we need to like, have more vision, think more like what the future could look like. Type of thinking versus like sitting in the stuff. And so for me, it's just like like mo movement like, keep

51
00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:31.499
Lyndsi Weise: moving forward. And suddenly you I mean, sometimes it's like even taking a walk outside. And I I mean, I live in the sunshine, so I don't have to deal with. But if I go outside, it's ice and cold. And so, you know, i 1 simple walk can just shift all your thinking. And you're like, Hey, that was again like.

52
00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:38.239
Lyndsi Weise: it's not true. Let's keep going. So simple movement forward is.

53
00:11:38.830 --> 00:11:43.899
Lyndsi Weise: yeah. Cause doubt is that's a tough one, and it it doesn't just go away

54
00:11:44.930 --> 00:12:11.830
James Dunn: No, it definitely is just like, yeah, putting one foot in front of the other, and then taking that consistent action and just believing yourself and trusting yourself. I know for me a big piece of of it is community as well. It's being around other people like this and having conversations. So we don't feel like we're alone. We don't feel like we're the only persons ever gone through something like this, because once we start thinking that we're the only ones. Well, then, we start doing that whole comparison. I just like, well, I suck, they're awesome, and I just suck and like, no, we all suck some days. It's all good

55
00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:12.495
Lyndsi Weise: Yes.

56
00:12:13.818 --> 00:12:31.570
James Dunn: And you know, is there any specific habit, maybe, that has really helped you in terms of you know your growth and just getting to where you are in life, in your business and just in life in general, you know one specific habit that's really helped you on your journey

57
00:12:33.610 --> 00:12:48.220
Lyndsi Weise: So I feel like, so I'm like, definitely a routine creature. And then I'm so in routine that I'm like, Hey, where's the beach like we need to like break it up. And so, you know, for me it's like

58
00:12:49.220 --> 00:13:19.069
Lyndsi Weise: routine Monday through Thursday, and then I kind of like break it up for the 3 days, and in routine I'm in the habits of like looking at eating well, looking at movement. You know, looking at goals that I want to accomplish, and just putting it all like right here. It's right here in front of me, like I write down like, what is the goal this week. And so it's this routine. It's kind of I I think I am not

59
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:43.480
Lyndsi Weise: 100. If I would call this habit stacking, but I do feel like it. Kind of is this habit stacking where I'm like? I want to be up by this time. I want to make sure I have movement in whether that's a walk, or if I'm like, you know, lifting weights, I want to make sure I'm hydrating and fueling well and not you know just not moving things forward when it comes to like business, and then

60
00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:55.220
Lyndsi Weise: household stuff, you know, it's like for me. It's just that routine piece helps me. You know those type of habits. Just stay. They stick, is what I'm trying to say

61
00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:58.209
James Dunn: Yeah, yeah, no, I get it. I I've gotten really

62
00:13:58.470 --> 00:14:15.119
James Dunn: more into being disciplined with my routines lately, and it's been helping tremendously. I used to resist them a lot because I'm just a rebel. I mean, you can't tell it by the how, but I used to have hair down the middle of my back. You know the hard rock, heavy metal kind of guy. I'm like routines. Discipline. Hell! No, we can't do any of that mess.

63
00:14:15.680 --> 00:14:24.840
James Dunn: But then just you start seeing that. Yeah, I mean, I love adventure. I love variety in life, but there also needs to be some discipline. There needs to be some structure, and those routines

64
00:14:24.890 --> 00:14:54.140
James Dunn: actually give you more freedom, because then, you know, you got all your things done. You got all your ducks in a row that you need to have done so. Then, when you are over here wanting to do something that's more fun and more like, say, go and sit on the beach, or whatever you don't have to be thinking. But wait a minute. I got to get back over there because I got to get this report done, or Oh, I got to get these calls made, or I've got to get that laundry done, or whatever it happens to be. You know everything is taken care of, and you know you can completely relax because you put those routines into place to get all of that done. And so yeah, I agree. Those are so important.

65
00:14:54.140 --> 00:14:55.270
James Dunn: And for you.

66
00:14:55.270 --> 00:15:01.429
James Dunn: are you a paper planner? You like it online? What? What's kind of your your method of operation?

67
00:15:01.910 --> 00:15:02.960
James Dunn: Oh, there we go

68
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.290
Lyndsi Weise: Paper

69
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:04.690
James Dunn: Yeah.

70
00:15:04.690 --> 00:15:23.259
Lyndsi Weise: Cool with a little it's not even fancy it's just like, here's the times of the day. Here's what we're doing at 8. Here's what we're doing at 9 on the right is here's the goals for the week, and then anything at the bottom is like extra projects that if I complete a lot

71
00:15:23.260 --> 00:15:43.279
Lyndsi Weise: like, finish the funnel work on the email marketing work on the you know, like, follow up with these people. Type of thing. So. But yeah, I do it by the hour. And it it just keeps me focused because I'm like, okay, this is what has to get done in this hour, and I put lunch in there, too, and I have break like

72
00:15:43.280 --> 00:16:06.279
James Dunn: Wait. Wait what you put lunch on paper, because this is I just have toss this in here. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I always see these like super famous people. Whatever like these super productive people, they're putting it. Here's my daily schedule, and they never have fucking lunch or dinner I'm like, do you guys not eat because it's always like I do these calls. I do this. I do this this like, where do you eat, you know I'm like I have to have at least 30 min, if not an hour, to take my lunch, take my breather, take my break.

73
00:16:06.280 --> 00:16:14.479
James Dunn: and they're never. It's like, Oh, I just grab a snack. I'm like no dude. I can't snack. I've got to have food, so I'm glad that you put lunch on your on your calendar. There

74
00:16:15.521 --> 00:16:37.630
Lyndsi Weise: Take like a solid, I would say 30 min, depending on the day, like, if there's calls, if there's things I'll take an hour and just hang out outside with. I have 2 dogs very energetic, active dogs. And they just want to be like with me all the time, so I'll go out and just let them run and just get some sun. And yeah, lunch is on it.

75
00:16:37.870 --> 00:16:52.770
James Dunn: Awesome. I love that. Yes, it's see people. It's important. Put that launch on there because you do need to take that time to get yourself some food and sometimes depending on like you said, depending on the day. Sometimes it can be a little longer, sometimes gonna be a little bit shorter, but making sure to schedule in those breaks. I know Brendan Burchard. He's really big.

76
00:16:53.300 --> 00:17:03.620
James Dunn: I forget what his particular method is, but basically he always likes to talk about doing like 40, 45 min work, then taking like a 15 min break and then do 45 min of work

77
00:17:03.620 --> 00:17:04.160
Lyndsi Weise: 15 min.

78
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:21.590
James Dunn: Break something to kind of. Just break that up, because otherwise, as you go further and further further, you start losing your capacity to do good work, so you may be working for 5 h, but only 2 of that was really productive, because after hour 2, you were just burnt. But you kept going, because, like no, I got to keep going. So really scheduling in those breaks

79
00:17:21.899 --> 00:17:27.099
Lyndsi Weise: Yeah, I actually, I know what you're talking about, because I went to his

80
00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:39.189
Lyndsi Weise: oh, my gosh! What's the event called? He did an event here in Phoenix, and then I got to speak on stage after him at a different event. So I mean all the things. Yeah.

81
00:17:39.190 --> 00:17:39.600
James Dunn: It's awesome.

82
00:17:40.790 --> 00:17:44.510
Lyndsi Weise: Yeah, but I know I'm like, what does he call it? I know what you're talking about.

83
00:17:44.510 --> 00:17:44.950
James Dunn: Yeah.

84
00:17:44.950 --> 00:18:00.257
Lyndsi Weise: Somebody trained me. Somebody over my years was like lunch must be there. Breaks must be there like. Go outside and walk for 10 min or something. Get away from where your work is, because, yeah, otherwise, you're just toast

85
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:18.879
James Dunn: Yeah, I mean, you're you're like, say, you think you're doing good because I put in 8 h of work. But if you only got 3 h of productive work, because you just kept pushing and pushing and pushing. It really wasn't worth it. So that 15 min, even though you're taking off. You're coming back refreshed, coming back with a new perspective and depending on the type of the work that you're doing.

86
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:31.209
James Dunn: That can be huge, because once you get that tunnel vision, you're stuck on a certain line. Well, if you step back for 15 min you can look at it from a different perspective. It's like, Oh, wait, no, wait! This would be so. What was I going that way for? This is so much better.

87
00:18:31.453 --> 00:18:44.119
James Dunn: Yeah, I I love that. And for anybody out there, cause I'm big on paper as well. I I love my Google Calendar, because then I can just see you know, I can pull up my phone anywhere I'm at. I've got it. But for at least my day to day actions.

88
00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:49.810
James Dunn: I still much prefer to have something on a piece of paper that I can write down. I can scribble on it, and I can kind of check things off

89
00:18:49.950 --> 00:19:05.589
James Dunn: because I love just that writing on the paper doing that kind of thing, and I would also encourage people. I've never found a specific planner that I absolutely loved everything about it. So I started creating my own sheets. So if you're out there and you're looking, and you can't find something dude. You've got

90
00:19:05.850 --> 00:19:27.999
James Dunn: Microsoft excel or word documents, or any of these Google Docs anything you can do that you can go on there and create all kinds of fun stuff yourself. So just keep tweaking it and keep evolving it and keep changing it to fit your particular needs. Don't give up on the idea of writing things down on a piece of paper just because you can't go out and find over at Staples the specific one that you want. That's that's no excuse, man. Make your own.

91
00:19:29.170 --> 00:19:30.550
James Dunn: So with that

92
00:19:30.550 --> 00:19:31.660
Lyndsi Weise: Totally.

93
00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:41.720
James Dunn: Yeah, let me ask you, is there any specific book or podcast? Or resource like that that you found that has had a massive impact on your mindset?

94
00:19:48.040 --> 00:20:10.950
Lyndsi Weise: This is a good question. I'm like, Where where do I like right now? Let me talk about right now. I mean, I've got books for days, for years, because I've been out here for so many years. Brendan was amazing. I've learned a lot from him right now. I'm really enjoying the let them theory with the Mel Robbins book, because it's it's helping you just kind of like I feel like

95
00:20:10.950 --> 00:20:25.289
Lyndsi Weise: with this comparison and comparison plays such a huge role in anxious, you know, like, Oh, my God, I'm not there! They're already there. They just started, or they're wait what you know. It's like the big one of the biggest ones where you're like.

96
00:20:25.660 --> 00:20:39.339
Lyndsi Weise: how am I not at that level? And this, you know, you and you just get into this spiral, and it's like nobody knows what's really been going on. Nobody knows all of those things. And so when you listen to her book, she talks about like

97
00:20:39.735 --> 00:21:04.190
Lyndsi Weise: so many different scenarios where it's letting that just be like, let it let them. It can be that it can be you weren't invited to a thing like a I don't know speaker thing or community thing, and you're like. And then she also talks about letting she I think it's let me where it's like. But you have a part in this, too.

98
00:21:04.410 --> 00:21:20.740
Lyndsi Weise: And so for mindset for me, right in this current moment, that's been very helpful in this rebuild like. And as I've been building this new thing and losing this old thing and being like, I spent all those years. So yeah.

99
00:21:20.740 --> 00:21:24.550
James Dunn: Yeah, yeah, that's that's a big one. I mean, I've I've heard

100
00:21:25.033 --> 00:21:51.710
James Dunn: not necessarily in these interviews just yet, because I think you're like my 3rd or 4th one. But I have heard so many people, or seen so many people online talking about that book and sharing that saying, Oh, my gosh, it's such an amazing book. And I just this morning listened to a podcast interview with her. Well, it was on her. Podcast and I don't think I still have it here, but it was a fascinating cons. Oh, I do. Yeah, it was one of her.

101
00:21:51.750 --> 00:22:07.210
James Dunn: Dr. Gabor mate. I don't know how you pronounce his last name. But it was a just an incredible interview, and of course it talks about everything going back to childhood, but just the way that they presented that conversation, the what and the things that

102
00:22:07.350 --> 00:22:13.800
James Dunn: the doctor was bringing up and how he was talking about it. I was like, Oh, wow! Oh, okay, yeah, helping me kind of reshift.

103
00:22:14.120 --> 00:22:24.480
James Dunn: Even my perspective, already knowing everything, went back to childhood, is shifted even more. I'm like, Oh, wow! Okay, I got to go deeper with this, and was was very, very helpful. So yeah, she's she's crushing it right now.

104
00:22:25.060 --> 00:22:32.070
James Dunn: love it. And so what's 1 piece of advice you would give someone who might feel stuck or unsure about their potential

105
00:22:36.149 --> 00:22:45.320
Lyndsi Weise: So, my my, all, I I always want someone to just put one foot in front of the other. I know I've said this already, but like

106
00:22:45.650 --> 00:23:10.019
Lyndsi Weise: I think we can get like everything is, you know, these little steps we take every day that over time, if you're consistent with with the right steps can build something amazing. And I'm stay. I'm in the, you know, dreams, your goals, your whatever it is, with your business or your career. I mean, even with health goals, right? It's like

107
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:33.340
Lyndsi Weise: when you're like stuck in it. And I've actually been stuck in it. And I feel like one of the things that was super helpful outside of just okay, one foot in front of the other. Great, but also a lot of people don't know that their nervous system could very much be just very frozen. And it's actually I went through

108
00:23:34.090 --> 00:24:00.490
Lyndsi Weise: like, 2 or 3 years ago. I went through this where I had no idea what was happening, and I was like, I know I'm supposed to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving and take action. But it's not working. Something's not right. And I was like listening to books and doing the things in it. I realized, like we needed to focus on some deep breathing we needed to calm my body was kind of just in this frozen nervous system place, and that.

109
00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:29.369
Lyndsi Weise: you know another lesson. It's kind of coming up as you're talking is like that was another lesson. Was like I allowed a lot of scarcity to be part of the beginning of my career. For whatever reason, there's no reason for it literally was no reason. Looking back, I'm like that was a waste, but it's a learning lesson. And so I feel like when you're in these places where you might not see your potential, you might be stuck. It's like, let's look at

110
00:24:29.736 --> 00:24:55.769
Lyndsi Weise: what your body saying is your body like just we can't even think that far ahead we're a little stuck like I would encourage like talking to someone who does mindset work and maybe includes, like that nervous system regulation, deep breathing. You know, eft has always been a great thing. And then it opens up space and capacity for you. And you're like, Wow! And you start to see.

111
00:24:55.990 --> 00:24:58.090
Lyndsi Weise: But then it's 1 foot in front of the other.

112
00:24:58.670 --> 00:25:01.279
James Dunn: Yeah. And that is such a big piece of the puzzle is.

113
00:25:01.410 --> 00:25:16.919
James Dunn: I think, what happens way too often is we read the books we watch the videos, we go to the seminars. And we hear all these amazing, you know, pieces of information people share with us. And intellectually we're getting it. But, as you said, in our physical body there's this deep trauma, there's this deep

114
00:25:17.265 --> 00:25:40.739
James Dunn: undercurrent of this is not safe. This does not feel good. This is not feel right, even though we know we need to go ahead and take these steps. We need to take that step over here and we try this. We need to connect with this person. We need to make this phone call. We need to do whatever. But in my body I'm like. But that scares me, and we don't understand. So we don't connect the fact that our subconscious is driving that. And so that's when we're like, Oh, well, wait. I'm too busy. Today. I'll make the call tomorrow.

115
00:25:40.740 --> 00:26:03.699
James Dunn: and that's where it really gets hidden is because we don't overtly say, Well, I'm scared of this, and this is why I'm not going to go over there. It's we start creating little scenarios like, well, I got too many things to do today, you know, and the dog just pooped in the kitchen. I got to go clean that up so that just got me all, so I can't call somebody right after I clean up dog poop. I'm like I can't do that. You know, I got to be in the right state of mind, and that's not the right state of mind, and

116
00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:10.799
James Dunn: and that's something I know myself that I've had to really focus on, too, because I spent so many years studying all the things, and I could regurgitate

117
00:26:10.840 --> 00:26:24.200
James Dunn: anything from Tony Robbins, Brendan, Richard, and all these guys. But I wasn't living it. I wasn't taking the actions as much as I thought I was, and it's been a lot of that nervous regulation, and, you know, kind of loop this back to that conversation that I was talking about

118
00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:31.619
James Dunn: Mel Robbins and her. You know, Guest today, one of the things that they talked about that's jumping out at me right now was

119
00:26:32.269 --> 00:26:57.680
James Dunn: I forgot exactly how they kind of built it up. But he was talking to her about you know, when she's trying to escape, you know. Escape from quote quote unquote reality like by, you know, watching television or scrolling on Instagram or Facebook or whatever. And we just get into doom, you know, doom and gloom, scroll patterns and all that. And we say we're not going to do it. We get on Tiktok, for I'm gonna watch one video. And then 4 freaking hours later, we're still there. What am I trying to escape from? And he was just talking.

120
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:08.090
James Dunn: you know, she was saying, I just want to escape. And he's like, okay, yeah. But what are you trying to escape from? And ultimately it comes back to yours. You don't feel comfortable in your own body. You don't feel comfortable just to sit there by yourself and do nothing.

121
00:27:08.090 --> 00:27:19.230
James Dunn: It's like, that's deep, you know. Because, yeah, because I find myself from time to time like, I just want to go watch TV show. I just want to go do this. Well, what am I trying to escape from? I'm trying to escape from me how fucked up is that.

122
00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:27.209
James Dunn: you know. So it's really getting comfortable with yourself, and like you said things like the eft, you know, tapping and breath work and things where we can. Just

123
00:27:27.570 --> 00:27:39.510
James Dunn: consciously, if I want to go watch TV. Sure, if I want to go watch a movie, that's okay, but not feel like I almost have to go do that like I need to have that escape. That's what we're trying to get away from. Is that

124
00:27:39.800 --> 00:27:45.650
James Dunn: feeling like you have to do it. It's conscious choice, and you want to do it. Okay, fine. But don't feel like you have to do it.

125
00:27:46.370 --> 00:28:02.180
James Dunn: So awesome, love that. So those are my main questions I've got for you right there. That was that was amazing. Hope. You enjoyed those. And before we wrap this up and I get to my final question, you know, just share with the people where they can find you. Where can they connect with you the most or the best at

126
00:28:02.430 --> 00:28:19.350
Lyndsi Weise: Yeah. So obviously, we're on social. We're on Facebook. Of course, I have a group. It's called successful businesswomen. I also am on Instagram under Lindsey Weiss, official. And yeah, that's pretty much where you'll find me.

127
00:28:19.350 --> 00:28:24.359
James Dunn: Awesome. You got any special programs, anything out there right now, you want to share people or share with people and let them know about

128
00:28:24.530 --> 00:28:45.885
Lyndsi Weise: Yeah, I mean, the main thing I'm doing right now is if you're looking to build a community if you're looking to get leads, and you're kind of stuck in those spaces or even converting the leads you have. I've been doing a lot of one on one work right now and helping people build out their communities. And

129
00:28:46.350 --> 00:28:56.230
Lyndsi Weise: you know, work through some content planning and lead generation strategies that are all very organic. So yeah, if they're specific to Facebook groups, of course.

130
00:28:56.230 --> 00:29:18.389
James Dunn: Well, very, very cool. I love it. And so definitely connect with Lindsay all those places shared. She's awesome at what she does. She's been extremely successful, obviously for quite a long time. You don't stay in business for this long, even as she's shifting and growing and evolving, doing different things. You don't stay in business this long, if if you're not pretty damn good at what you do so definitely connect with her. And then my last question for you today, Lindsay, is, how do you define? Unstoppable in your own words?

131
00:29:18.970 --> 00:29:27.959
Lyndsi Weise: Oh, so for me, that's like a mad energy. It's like this this like feeling

132
00:29:28.673 --> 00:29:35.020
Lyndsi Weise: and you know I it's so funny, because I don't know if you know, like what this.

133
00:29:35.750 --> 00:29:46.740
Lyndsi Weise: I have this like feeling, and I think that's the ambass. Ambitious, you know. Energetic person in me. That's like I'm meant to do all these incredible, amazing things. And it's just gonna be this.

134
00:29:47.010 --> 00:30:14.789
Lyndsi Weise: you know, full force go. And then, you know, life life which we just talked about. But that's how I see unstoppable is it's like I. We're still going for it. We're still moving. We might have some, you know, detours, and we may have to do some work and get the get the body on board with us, because the body's like we're not. No, we're not moving like. Oh, yes, we are. So that that's like how I literally like embody it.

135
00:30:15.380 --> 00:30:25.849
James Dunn: Awesome. Yes, I love that that is definitely unstoppable for me. So all right, Lindsay, thanks so much for being on the show today, and with that everybody get out there. Have an amazing fucking day, and we'll see you next time.
