Your Relationship With Your Business

If your business were a relationship, would you feel connected, or exhausted?

This February-themed talk is an honest look at how business owners communicate, set boundaries, and stay committed to the work they’re building. Lindsey Louise blends marketing strategy with mindset coaching to help attendees identify red flags, strengthen alignment, and reconnect with the purpose behind their business.

Expect practical takeaways, reflection prompts, and tools you can use immediately to attract better clients and create healthier, more sustainable growth.

PRESENTED BY: 
Lindsey Louise, Mindset & Business Coach.

What we're about

✅ SBSH (Small Business Study Hall) is our monthly series for small businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs and freelancers. Each month is a different topic or interactive theme. Each meetup also includes 30+ minutes of networking and meet and greet with like-minded entrepreneurs from Elgin and the northwest suburbs.

✅ We meet in the 3rd week of the month, on Thursdays.

✅ “Each one, reach one.” We also encourage you to invite a fellow entrepreneur!

✅ Although named “Entrepreneurs” meetup, this is a group for anybody looking for ideas, inspiration, mentors, or resources to assist you on your journey.
We welcome:
– Students and recent grads looking to make connections,
– Creatives needing help to market their skills,
– Corporate employees looking to build their leadership skills,
– Founders who need to improve their communication skills,
 but most importantly,
– Cool and interesting people who want to share ideas, collaborate, learn and grow together.

✅ Brought to you by The Expo Experts, ETC Coworking and HadlBran Digital Marketing.
