I want you to think about a time in your business where you almost gave up.⁠⁠ Yep, I’m going there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔸Maybe it was when you were first starting and you would have done anything to book a wedding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔸Maybe it was when you got your first negative feedback. That feeling in your gut is the worst, right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔸 Maybe it was when it all hit the fan March 2020. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been at all of these points. I actually called my mom to cry just last week if we’re being honest. These days have been the most challenging for our industry, and they feel never ending right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But we’re still here gosh darn it. We’re still showing up, we're still moving forward. I can’t wait to see who we are when we come out of this. Stronger, better. Can you picture it? Keep going… The dark days are going to get brighter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But in the meantime if you’re needing a bit of extra help getting the wheels turning again, I got you! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m hosting a free master class next week (October 19th, 20th and 27th) all about How to Generate More Leads in Your Wedding Business. This may just be the little push you need to get through this bump ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Click here to register: LindsayJWilliams.com/masterclass (link in bio)

Hi there! I’m Lindsay Williams and I’m so excited you’ve found your way here! Ryan is my hubby, and we have a sweet little 3 month old baby boy, Jamison. We are also proud parents to our fur bear in heaven, Chewi. We had to let him go this year, but he’ll always be part of our family, and I will never forget to introduce him too.

I’m also the owner of a custom wedding invitation company, Hoopla House Creative. I’m entering year 7 of my business and boy, has it grown!

Through years of trial and error and figuring out what works, I’ve managed to grow the business from $30k – $300k in yearly revenue. All in the comfort of my home in my PJs. 

Why am I telling you this? Because I know you can do it too. You don’t need fancy formal business training… you just need to share more photos of your dog. Okay, maybe there’s a little more to it than that, but I’m going to show you! I’ll tell you what to say, how to say it and how to win the hearts of clients that want to work with YOU. 

Why am I doing this? There is a need. For every inquiry I receive from a fellow wedding professional asking me to mentor her. For my fellow creative business owners who are too scared to put themselves out there. The world NEEDS what you offer. You’ve perfected your craft, now let’s perfect those sales skills so we can get it in the hands of hundreds of brides. 

I’m glad you’re here. I’m excited to share my story with you. Starting, running and growing a business isn’t easy, but it’s achievable. I am an example of what’s possible for my students, and I’m committed to teaching it.

Let’s do this, girlfriends! 
xo, Lindsay

If things feel hard right now... they’re supposed to. The first few years building your business will be some of the hardest. Because you’re still figuring it out. You’re learning and trying and failing. Once you figure out what works, then you can go ALL IN and focus on that. That’s when you start to scale. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Trust me, I know a thing or two about this. I went through those hard years, but I didn’t stop. I tried a bunch of stuff and a lot of it didn’t work, but some things did 😏. I figured out what worked and I went all in on those. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ AND GUESS WHAT? Magic happened. My business scaled from $30k to $300k in yearly revenue. Sure, it’s still hard but it’s so much more fun now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you’re in the trenches and it feels hard, put your boots on and keep going. I’m reaching my hand out from the other side telling you to keep going, it’s so worth it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh and also, all of those things I figured out? I’m willing to share them! Come to my upcoming free training called, “How to Generate More Leads in Your Wedding Business” and I’ll tell you what worked and how to go all in. It’ll get you out of these muddy waters faster. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ready to learn how I did it? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Sign up here LindsayJWilliams.com/masterclass (link in bio)

Q: What is your biggest roadblock when it comes to getting new leads?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A: “My confidence in writing, what to say, why people want to hear anything I have to say. I'm confident in my work. My confidence in promoting myself is pretty low.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... these were the exact words I read from a student before we got on a coaching call. So, I hopped on the call that day fully prepared to help her through storytelling techniques, tips and tricks on what to say, how to say it etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We started talking and chatted for 45 min before I even got into the coaching. I WAS MESMERIZED. Her story of how she got started, her childhood, the path that led her to where she is today - it was all incredible. I was literally brought to tears 😭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I stopped her and said, 🛑 “STOP. SHARE THAT. SHARE ALL OF THAT! IT’S RIGHT THERE!” 🛑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having this conversation helped her decide that she was enough just as she came to the table that day. This mindset shift alone is exactly what is needed to change your whole life and business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since we have worked together she has gone on to make incredible strides in her business. She’s booking more weddings, she’s showing up, and she knows how powerful her stories are. I couldn’t be more proud. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re doubting your ability to show up the way your couples and business needs you to, I want you to repeat after me:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ “I am enough just as I am."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ "I am doing my couples a disservice if I don’t show up."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ "I do not need permission to tell my story."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ... then, I want you to sign up for our upcoming free training next week. I'll walk you through how to show up, generate more leads and book more weddings. Don't miss it! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 Join us here: LindsayJWilliams.com/masterclass (link in bio)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xo, Lindsay ❤️🥰

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the midst of growing a business, raising our families, navigating a pandemic, or just managing all of the things that come with life, we're so focused on going quickly and checking off those to-do lists. By the time we look around and notice that we're pretty much going at it alone, we're burnt out, cranky and in no mood to "network." Am I right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to take one more step of this journey alone. That’s why I created this group!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re committed to helping each other, growing a community and reaching out a hand for the next person in line… give me a heart in the comments ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so glad you’re here!
