Real People, Real Business - EP #90 with Lindy Nowak - Finding Freedom By Keeping It Simple

Real People, Real Business is my online show featuring business owners and entrepreneurs who are in the trenches, creating and growing their dream businesses, one step at a time. Sometimes we need inspiration and answers from folks who are closer to where we are, and who share the same experiences, constraints, challenges and opportunities that we do.

I’m Stephanie, and I work with experienced business owners who are trying to figure out what’s next in their businesses. They have pushed themselves to achieve enough success that they know their business is viable, but feel they have run out of options for growth. I help them create a new vision and strategy for their business so that they can feel completely aligned, excited and energized about their new direction with a clear path for financial and personal growth.

IN THIS EPISODE - "Finding Freedom By Keeping It Simple "
---------------------------------------
Lindy Nowak is the Founder of Up in a Day™ – a new-to-market website service that is devoted to helping small business owners, entrepreneurs, and independent operators get their website up quickly, within budget, and with minimal effort from them.

In this episode, you’ll learn about Lindy’s journey from her corporate career as a creative director in New York, working with big-name brands like L’oreal to starting a traditional marketing agency and transitioning to the productized website design agency she runs today at Up In A Day.

Lindy describes the aha moment that sparked the idea for launching a productized service around website design, the purpose, and importance of having a website for your business, and why it’s better to have a professional create your business website.

Lindy reveals the embarrassing mistake she made with her business website, how she used her network to build her agency team, how she developed her own training and onboarding method for her designers, and how she structured her processes and delivery to balance managing her team with providing clients with a quality service.

Lindy shares how she combats scope creep and filters out clients who aren’t a good fit for her agency, the trend she sees website design moving toward in the future, and what it was like for her to jump from her corporate career to entrepreneurship.

Finally, Lindy tells us how being her mother’s caretaker ignited her desire to become a business owner, how she’s building her business to support her eventual exit, and what you can do if you feel lonely as an online business owner.
