The Something New Show Mindi Linscombe

Interested in starting your own business but don't know what to do? Or perhaps you tried in the past but don't know what went wrong? In this special coaching episode, host Mindi Linscombe shares lessons learned and drops her top 10 recommendations on starting a business. Mindi gets asked all the time, "How did you start? How did you do it?". She and her husband Jordan started their successful companies from nothing. So, here are the top recommendations and points she is sharing openly for you:   
🔸We made a choice to live off a small income. We sacrificed in our personal budget when we started. We sacrificed a lot of time. We did side jobs like piano lessons to make ends meet.  🔸I knocked on doors for bank loans and had to stay persistent. Our bridal business is heavy inventory so we had to have enough captial. Jordan also told Mindi, that he'd rather her try and start the business and fail then say "I wish we would have tried" when older. Went all in and left "safe" behind. 🔸We fond someone already doing the type of work successfully and asked for help. 🔸We started small and low risk. Don't quit your day job until the new business can cover enough of your financial needs. Learn from your sales and grow with what is working. 🔸We networked like crazy. We connected face to face with other vendors or like minded people in our industry.  🔸We followed up with every single potential lead. I built my list and asked others to refer people that needed my services. 🔸We didn't pay me for 3 years! We paid off debt, kept money in the business and made the company foundation solid. We built margin for rainy days. We managed our expenses tightly. Always invest in what gets you more customers. 🔸We hired someone who gave me more time back so I could make more sales.  🔸We tried to understand what it would really cost us in our time, expectations, energy and more. It's essential you understand what starting a business will cost you...especially if you are married. So much is delayed gratification!🔸We consistently assessed and evaluated how the business was doing. Then we would learn from that feedback, course correct, and improve.

What do Gen Z customers and Gen Z entrepreneurs truly want in today’s business environment? It’s a simple but powerful thing! And, host Mindi Linscombe unpacks it in this short, special episode of The Something New show. Listen to the entire episode as Mindi explains: 
🔸Like any generation, Gen Z craves authentic, human connection!
🔸How they want to be seen and have a human moment with you.
🔸While Gen Z has had and expects excellent use of technology, they also want genuine interpersonal interaction. 
🔸When it comes to marketing, text message open rates are better than email open rates. 
🔸However, it’s even better to pick up your phone and call your customer. 
🔸In your phone call approach, bring the authenticity & call people by name.
🔸Start with the conversation about them. Stay genuinely interested and curious.
🔸For in-person connections, solid eye contact has been and always will be a key for deep connection. 
🔸Nothing can beat in-person interaction (as you network and build leads).
🔸Paid ads work (and the Linscombes certainly invest in them), but in-person events helps expedite your sales process.
🔸Go out there and shake a hand!
🔸We (all generations) want that eye to eye connection.
🔸Be service oriented and intentional with people. Create networking opportunities of your own but also take time to attend other great ones in your business community.
🔸If you want to build your business, invest in human connections and masterminds, as you simultaneously invest in ads.
🔸Link hearts & swap stories.
🔸Your business plan will get ahead with in person!
Authentic human connection is part of creating a life worth celebrating. So, if you are a Gen Z entrepreneur or looking to better connect with Gen Z customers, put these principles into practice and watch the impact it will have on your business and relationships.
