For female-identifying business owners ready to scale their nontraditional service-based or brick-and-mortar businesses to six figures and beyond. Specifically, Leslie supports business owners who are struggling to find their place on social media, or even in networking events due to the nature of their business.
Ideal for owners and leaders of tattoo shops, permanent makeup studios, cannabis businesses, movement studios, sex toy shops, and other industries too often left out of the leadership conversation and even more frequently sold sales tools and tactics that just don’t work in their industry.
Stop being let down by traditional marketing tools not built to support your nontraditional business. Before your Instagram account gets banned for the third time, start looking at another way to talk about the REAL results you're getting your clients.
What’s most critical is these are business owners looking to define their strengths and values, design a business that supports them, and create a soul-driven (and pleasurable) plan for profitability that speaks to the value and results their clients receive.
Leslie Lyons brings her decades of experience launching, scaling, and selling her brick-and-mortar movement studio business to service-based business owners ready to do the same. Listen in and learn how she took “taboo pole dancing” and shared what it truly is which is an emotional transcription and a sexual reclamation and sovereignty. Now she’s ready to help you do the same.
There are three primary embodiment tools that Leslie uses so that woo meets strategy to support leaders who are traditionally left out of the business conversation.
Tools like the perception triangle supports leaders in problem-solving and managing people with an increased capacity for empathy and understanding.
On the sales side, Leslie shares tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and breathwork to help you manage your energy before and during your sales process, because the truth is, sales is an energy game.
Tune in each and every week to hear from Leslie on what soulful shifts you can make to better support your growing leadership and sales skills.

Ep 97- Mastering Your Mental Facet: Harnessing the Magic of Your Thoughts for Profitable Leadership
In today’s episode, we are diving into a fascinating topic: the mental facet. In our exploration of holistic leadership, we have previously covered the physical and energetic facets. Now, it's time to unlock the power of our minds and understand how our thoughts and intelligence play a crucial role in our ability to lead and navigate the complexities of life. As leaders, how we see ourselves is crucial in shaping our leadership style and approach. I introduce two powerful assessments to help you gain clarity and understanding: the enneagram and the Fascination assessment. The Enneagram allows us to comprehend our nature and motivations better, while Fascination reveals how the world perceives us and our brand. By aligning these perceptions, we can truly become authentic and effective leaders.One important aspect of the mental facet is the concept of mindset - specifically the difference between fixed and growth mindsets. A fixed mindset limits us, making us believe that we are either naturally good or bad at something, leading to a fear of trying new things and taking risks. On the other hand, a growth mindset enables us to view mistakes and failures as opportunities for growth and learning. With a growth mindset, we embrace challenges and continuously strive to improve. However, our mindset doesn't just impact us; it also affects our team and, ultimately, our revenue. When leaders have a fixed mindset, their team may hesitate to bring ideas, solutions, and observations to the table. By adopting a growth mindset, we create an environment that encourages innovation, collaboration, and continuous growth, which leads to increased revenue and success. So grab a notepad and get ready to explore the power of your mind in this episode of Pleasurable Profits. Let's unlock the mental facet and unleash our full leadership potential.
