How it all went down felt like serendipity.
I received a DM on Instagram inquiring if I was interested in being a guest on the “This Is 50: Freedom Through Passions” podcast.
Was I interested? Hell yes. I’d been following the host, Lynette Turner, and her podcast on Instagram for about a year. I loved the premise and her evident enthusiasm for the topic that she brought to the conversations.
I think I waited half a day before responding that I would love to. And then participated in the follow-up DMs to arrange the intro and planning call for the episode.
I was used to these calls, having arranged my own when I was hosting my “Candid Conversations to Level Up Your Business” Instagram Live Series. I knew what to expect… until I didn’t.

The tables get turned.
Lynette wanted to know my backstory and how I became a Business Strategist & Coach. And she wanted to know how I worked with my clients.
I assumed that this was in service of the interview (which in part it was), but this is where the tables got turned.
She wanted to know more about my VIP Intensive. Pleasantly surprised, I launched into talking about it.
And before we wrapped our pre-show interview, Lynette told me to sign her up. So I did.

But before we get to that…
Here’s what we covered in our conversation:
🌱 Midlife Reinvention: Hear my story of transitioning from a Fortune 500 executive to a thriving business coach and consultant.
🌱 Actionable Business Strategies: Learn practical tips on financial forecasting, strategic hires, and business scaling. Perfect for female founders looking to grow their businesses.
🌱 Embracing Passion: Discover how I turned my passions into a fulfilling career, offering you a roadmap to do the same.
🌱 Overcoming Challenges: Gain insights into tackling midlife challenges and breaking through the "too old" mindset.
🌱 VIP Strategy Session Insights: Get an inside look at how a VIP strategy session transformed Lynette's business, with takeaways you can apply in yours.

Our VIP strategy session.
What’s fascinating about this whole interaction is that Lynette is a seasoned entrepreneur. Lynette knows her business.
She knows exactly how to guide women who have a passion and a general idea for a business but have never launched a business, through a thoughtful process to get them to their first client or customer. It’s called the “Passion to Profit Blueprint.”
And Lynette had (that is “has”) a big vision for where she wants to be with this program (and more) in 3+ years. But she hadn’t been able to create a plan to get there.
We took what was on her vision board and mapped it out into a 3+ year framework and then built out the strategy and detailed execution plan for the next 12 months.
In her words:
“What you took me through was so helpful, because it went from the big, hairy goal to, ‘I think I could actually do this. And bouncing it off you, do you think this is really doable?”
And my answer, “yes”!

She’s launching her “Passion To Profit Blueprint” program again soon.
Until next time,
Katherine
