Welcome to the simplified Success podcast, where we take the complicated, overwhelming and unorganized parts of your business and life and break them down to simple steps so you could integrate them to reach your goals. This is a place where we believe anything is possible with the right mindset, tools and strategies. I'm your host, Lindsay Reynolds. Each week I'm gonna bring you practical tips and tricks to build your skills, mindset and strategy from industry leaders who frankly, are just crushing it and making things happen. If you're ready to make the shift from good to great, but keep it simple and you're in the right place. Hello, everybody. So, um, I want to start by introducing myself. My name is Lindsay Reynolds Onda. Even that's new for me. Everything about this is so new. And I'm so excited. So it has been kind of on my dreamless and honestly, something I didn't think I would ever actually even be able to accomplish, let alone be doing right now is having a podcast. So the fact that I'm even sitting here in my office recording ah, podcast kind of blows my mind. So I want to start by kind of introducing myself, introducing the podcast, introducing why I feel like we need this space. Um, and really give you guys kind of an opening into what you're gonna find here and what we're gonna be here. So I I am the owner and creator of the brand simplified success. Okay, on the entire brand literally exists to help make things that are difficult that have been hard in your life in your business and simplify it. Everything from organization to making your business work to making yourself feel good about your goals and crushing your goals. All the things right. But everything in this brand revolves around taking things that are complex that can overwhelm us that keep us from reaching our goals, keep us for making the things happen and help simplify it. Right? That's literally why I created this brand on when this is launching. I'm actually recording this right now, but when this podcast is live for the world to here, I will also have a whole element within this brand in my company, revolving around consulting and really helping people toe up level to that next level. So if you're an entrepreneur or somebody who's trying to make things work in their business on. They just We're spending a lot of time. You're spending a lot of time making things happen. There's gotta be a better way. You need some automation. You need some systems. You need some tools, things that will help make things run smoother. So an example. I can think of what somebody is. If you have a client's that send you information, how are you receiving that information? What kind of data entry are you doing to get them on your email list to make the notes in your CRM? And if you aren't familiar with a CRM customer management tool, essentially the relationship management tool. But these things sound scary. They sound bay that acronyms. But they really help to simplify your business, because when you put the right work, flows in place in a workflow is essentially just something that, when something happens, that triggers something else automatically, which trigger something else automatically that most likely in all of the pieces I just said, you're doing manually. So it really helps to just take your business, automate it, but automated in the places that makes sense. I think I'm getting kind of like crazy into this, but I'm just so excited to be talking about this. But a lot of people are worried about putting automation on putting business and process flows into their business because they're afraid of what they're gonna let go off. That could be control of knowing what's going on. That could be different parts of the business, that you want to keep a hands on touch, too. And the great thing about this is that it's your business. It's always been your business, and we can make it work, however, feels best to you on still keep in place the things that matter most, the things that for you, you don't want to give up. You don't want to change. You don't want to modify. But she wanted to be easier. And by putting these kinds of tools in place, it allows for you to be able to go to the next level allows for you to have more time and focus on the things that create income for your business. They create time for you to be able to spend in the places that matter most to you. So that's something that I've been just now rolling out. Like I said, when this goes live, it will just be coming out. Is this whole consulting piece of really helping put strong process and efficiencies in your business so that you can let your business run itself? And it is not running you anymore? So a little bit about me in my background, cause I just went way into a whole bunch of jargon and stuff, and if you're still hanging on, thank you so much for holding on, um, as I navigate through what it's like to have a podcast. So my name is Lindsay Reynolds. I'm originally from the Portland, Oregon, area in the States, and I grew up there. And then I moved to Texas. When I was going to college, I went to school at West Texas A and M University, which is in Canyon, Texas, a k Nowhere Texas right near. And I currently live in Amarillo, which is we're kind of at the top part of the state. In Texas, people don't used you, obviously the same way, so we're technically in the Panhandle of West Texas. But if you were to look at the map of Texas. We're definitely at the north side of Texas. Um, I have lived here for the last 10 years. Um, I work full time for a company doing everything I just talked about. I put processes and tools and efficiencies in place to help the company, while the smoother and I've been working there for the past six years. I got married earlier this year. My husband's name is Ryan Reynolds. Um, don't worry, not that one, but he is just the best on and we have 34 babies Currently, we have banned it. Will Pepper 10 years if scrappy, who have had for about five and who is the newest addition. And he just came here about a year ago on their all many Aussies. And if you follow me on any of the social media platforms, you can see pictures in my little base. Um, but that's a little bit about me. So what I wanted to kind of share with you guys on this first podcast is really I talked with without this already. But what does simplified success stand for? Why did I create this? There's so much out in the world like there's so much content and information and amazing coaches who lead the industry who do all these incredible things there. So many resource is. So what really made me feel like it was time to share my thing with the world is the same reason that you're probably listening to this podcast. You're a person who has that feeling in your stomach. That thing where, you know, you were put on this planet to do something big. You knew you weren't just put here Teoh to do the same. Same stuff that there's anything wrong with the same thing. But you have this this thing inside of you that drives you that they you could you could do something. You were meant for something. There's something that you're supposed to do while you're on this planet, right? And for me, I have this feeling for myself growing up, I was always pretty successful. I grew up riding horses, a barrel race. I was on the college equestrian teen. I did the college judging team. I was all things horses and I was always highly successful going into college. I went from being, you know, kind of a big fish in a small pond to a small fish in a big pond. Um, and I think that's something that has helped me and shaped me into the person. That is somebody who wants to create something. I think over time you see in your life where the opportunities that the world needs something right, and you notice that you are wired for something more you notice that you feel like there's something you want to dio. But about 2.5 years ago, I was really stuck. I knew I was supposed to do something more. I knew there was something I was supposed to put it in the world, but I don't have any confidence anymore. I failed enough times, and I had such a weird way that I looked at success and all the pieces that I Honestly, I was so scared to put myself out there so scared to do what felt like I should dio because I just I couldn't I didn't think I could handle what would happen if someone didn't like it. Didn't work right, Andi. I lived in this world where I was afraid to move. I was a flayed toe. Make the moves and I would set goals still, but I would I would almost sabotage myself to the point where I would not go all in. I would not do the work 1000% because then I have an excuse when it didn't work, and I realized that I had created this pattern for myself about a year and 1/2 ago, and I knew I had to stop because I was about to be 30 and it was just not something I was willing. I wasn't willing to give up on what I knew. I was meant to do what I was supposed to be put on this planet for and just just let it let it go. I wasn't gonna live the rest of my life like that, and so I poured myself into development. I poured myself into the books on the podcast. My hired coaches on I did. I did all the things right on day. Today I'm a person who's standing on sitting in front of you, but I'm sitting in front of you even though you can't see me as a person who's who knows now that success is defined by the actions you take success is defined by how you show up and who you are when you show up. And so the reason I have have built this brand and the reason why I launched this podcast and all the things that I'm doing is because I want to help people to simplify the things in their life that overwhelmed them so much that they don't move because there are so many people. And I know there somebody on this podcast listening right now, who knows? They were meant to do some amazing things. They have that thing inside of you. You know, if I'm talking to you, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You have that feeling in your stomach. You know that you're meant to do the thing. You even know what the thing is. It's in your head. But it all seems so big. It all seems so scary. It all seems like it's something you wouldn't even know how to start walking through. And And if it works, what are you gonna do? And if it doesn't work, what are you going to dio? So a big part of what I do in my business and why simplified success exists is to help you with the mind set pieces so that you could walk through this. But more than anything, I wanted to equip people with the tools because when I was given the right tools that worked for me, it changed my life. I'm sitting here literally recording a podcast that at less than a year ago I was scared to create a group on Facebook. I was scared to post things on Facebook. I was scared toe post things into the world because what if I was? I would try and figure out every potential scenario how it could all go wrong. How could all blow up in my face, and I had a plan for every potential way. This was not gonna work right before I could ever make a step. And I really, really feel like I walked through all of those things so that I would have the opportunity to help others. Because I've been gifted with with an ability to see simplified things within chaos. I have an ability to put things in order and help make things simple and help streamline things and help make them run smoother and better and and I'm also very technically inclined, which really helps in my line of work, because I can help use technology to simplify the things. So the reason why I simplified success exists and why the consulting peace exists and why I have signature programs around these things is because it's what got me to right here. And right here is a person who is brave enough to put out a podcast and not know how it's gonna go. My person is brave enough to go live with other people in their groups and share my story and share what I'm doing. I'm brave enough to put out new branding and put myself out there because I know that every single step that I take, I will learn from and that everything is happening for me and that I get to have this opportunity to build something incredible. And I hope that something that I put out helps you to make the move helps you to see how easy it can be. Helps you to go to the next step. Because if you're listening to this podcast, if you're listening to this first episode, you're like me. You're somebody who wants to make the things happen. You're ready to go the next step. You know, you're made to do all of the most amazing things, but you just don't know how. You just don't know what steps to take. You don't know how to do that. And I've got you. I know how that is. I know that feeling. I know that feeling of, um I there's no way I could be successful. I feel like I'm always gonna fail. I'm overloaded. I'm overwhelmed. I can't say no to anything. But that was my biggest downfall. And I've gotten better at this. But I was so afraid of what would happen if I said no. Or people think that I can't handle it, that that I don't care about them. And what are people going to think if I say no? And I don't do it right, I don't take their thing. I don't help them like what will that mean for my relationships? What will that mean? For my success and night and the things I want to create? So what I want to leave you with is welcome. Welcome to the simplified success community. Welcome.
