  • How to Find and Build the Perfect Mentor Relationship with Lynzie Smith
    Jul 29 2024

    Have you thought about looking into mentorship and wondered how a great mentor could fast-track your journey towards your success? Mentors are crucial in helping you overcome the inevitable roadblocks that come with entrepreneurship? Finding the right mentor is like having a roadmap that helps you navigate challenges, or even avoid some of them altogether!

    In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing my opinion on why mentorship is essential and how it can accelerate both your professional and personal growth. We’ll discuss qualities to consider when seeking a mentor and practical tips on finding one whose experience and values align with your goals. I’m also sharing my experience around maintaining and evaluating the relationship, recognizing any red flags, and learning how to trust your own judgment when the advice you receive doesn’t quite resonate.

    With over 15+ years as an entrepreneur, I’ve worked with incredible mentors and now as coach, educator, and keynote speaker, I have the privilege of mentoring others. I also give back through mentorship with an incredible program called Mentorship Matters, providing Beauty and Barber pros with access to mentorship at no cost. If you’re in the beauty industry, be sure the check out this incredible nonprofit here!

  • Navigating Networking Events with Confidence and Ease with Lynzie Smith
    Jul 26 2024
    Have you ever felt overwhelmed at a networking event, surrounded by people but struggling to make genuine connections? In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing strategies that can help you navigate networking at events with confidence and ease, whether you’re an introvert or someone who finds larger scale events challenging. I know how daunting it can be to walk into a room full of strangers and try to have conversations that feel authentic and natural. But after 15 years of experience attending and networking at events, I’ve got some tried-and-true tips to help you manage those feelings and make the most out of every interaction. If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed during an event, I’ll share a simple practice to help you refocus and reenergize. Whether you need to gracefully exit a conversation that’s no longer serving you or take a quick breather to recharge, I’ve got you covered. Tuning into body language and improving your listening skills can create perfect opportunities for genuine connection. If you identify as an introvert, or you struggle with networking and find events a bit overwhelming, this conversation is based around a strategy I created with a client of mine who felt the same!

  • How to Create Systems and Routine for Success with Lynzie Smith
    Jul 22 2024

    In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing another inside look into one of our previous cohort containers with a conversation on Systems & Routines and how both benefit entrepreneurs in creating efficiency and balance.

    Want to be more productive, less stressed, reduce your anxiety, be more organized, and ultimately achieve a better balance in your day to day? In working with dozens of entrepreneurs through different seasons of their life and business, I’ve seen a very consistent growth pattern in those that develop systems and routines. Even for myself, the more I commit to my own routines, the better I feel.

    If you’re feeling like you are always behind, constantly trying to catch up, and not making enough progress in your day-to-day life, it may be because you need to implement some systems and maybe brush up on your morning, midday, and evening routines. As I always tell my coaching clients, you first need to fill your own cup in order to fully support others. Serve from overflow and you’ll never burnout!

    Entrepreneurs often think of systems and routines as constraining. We want more spontaneity and the freedom to steer ourselves in any direction. While spontaneity is fun, constantly changing directions will prevent you from achieving and accomplishing your long-term goals.

  • The Dopamine Detox You Didn’t Know You Needed with Lynzie Smith
    Jul 19 2024
    In this episode, I want to dive into a topic that’s been on my mind lately: taking a break from social media. We all know how much we love social media—okay, let’s be honest, sometimes maybe a little too much! It’s an amazing tool for connecting, marketing, and growing our businesses. But even for the biggest social media enthusiasts among us, there are times when a break is not just refreshing but NECESSARY. And today, I want to share my personal experience with this and discuss how to effectively detox from social media. We’re huge advocates of the occasional digital detox because it can be a fantastic way to hit ‘reset’ and come back refreshed, reinspired, and ready to take your business to new heights. That said, going offline doesn’t mean your business has to slow down. With a few simple steps you can implement right away, you can ensure that your social media presence continues to thrive, even while you’re taking a well-deserved break. In this episode, we’ll cover: What is a dopamine detox and what are its benefits? The dangers of social media and its impact on our mental health. Practical steps you can take to implement a social media break while keeping your business active. If you’re an entrepreneur feeling overwhelmed by social media or planning to take a break, I invite you to join me for a dopamine detox on Monday, July 22nd, and tune in for Friday’s episode where I’ll be sharing my experience around this. I’ve also mentioned the book in the episode that I will start to read in my downtime called ‘The Artistic Way’. If you’re looking to hire or outsource some low-level tasks for your business, I recommend StyleSmat VA; they’re matching Virtual Assistants for beauty entrepreneurs. And if you’re outside of the beauty industry, I recommend Outsourced Doers.

  • 3 Actions Steps to Overcome Imposter Syndrome with Lynzie Smith
    Jul 12 2024

    Welcome back to Common Wealth Conversations! In today’s episode, I want to dive into a topic that’s incredibly important but often not discussed enough—imposter syndrome and self-doubt.

    I recently had a conversation with a client that really struck a chord with me. She asked if I would tell her if I thought she was a lost cause—if I believed there was no chance she'd be able to accomplish her goals. This question was so raw and sincere; it showed her vulnerability and some deep-seated fears around her own capabilities.

    This got me thinking about how common these feelings are. Imposter syndrome and self-doubt plague so many of us. Imposter syndrome is a trendy phrase these days, but it's a genuine experience, a real emotion. It’s that nagging voice that tells you you’re not good enough, attractive enough, smart enough or qualified enough.

    In this episode, I’ll share the three things I would encourage anyone to do if they are struggling with imposter syndrome and we'll dive deeper into each of these steps, and hopefully, help you see that you’re not alone in feeling this way. I mention a practice from Gabby Bernstein I’d love to share, check out this podcast episode: ‘Dear Gabby, Can My Spiritual Practice Relieve Physical Pain?’.

    If you are a service based entrepreneur and you're looking to increase your revenue and buy back your time, consider applying for our three month cohort program. Doors are open for our applications. We will kick off the program in August. It will run from August to October of 2024. Juck click here to apply!

  • Pitch Perfect: How to Secure Lucrative Brand Partnerships with Lynzie Smith

    Title: Pitch Perfect: How to Secure Lucrative Brand Partnerships with Lynzie Smith


    This episode of Common Wealth Conversations is a special one because today we are opening our waitlist for our next round of our CWC ‘Peer to Peer’ Cohort Program and I’m giving you a sneak peek into our curriculum. This cohort program has been adjusted and fine tuned, perfected over the last five groups of participants, and I am so excited to introduce our sixth round of this cohort in a three month capacity.

    I've loved being able to support the 24 entrepreneurs (with more joining that total at the end of July, as another group completes their program!) that I've worked with through this program already and be able to start to see how this can become even easier, more accessible, more streamlined, more impactful for future participants. Our waitlist opens officially today.

    And with that opening, today's episode is focused on one topic I work through with most of my 1:1 coaching clients and cohort participants: how to pitch to brands to secure paid opportunities. There's so many ways that learning how to build relationships with aligned brands can help you further generate revenue for your business. You’ll get a glimpse into my facilitation as a coach and mentor through this cohort, this is a segment from a previous cohort group call. We are talking about pitching to brands and I'm sharing specifically how you can take action in your own business.


    If you are a service based entrepreneur and you're looking to increase your revenue and buy back your time, consider applying for our three month cohort program. Doors are open for our applications. We will kick off the program in August. It will run from August to October of 2024. Juck click here to apply!
