Bonus: Leadership Lesson 19: Growth vs. Safety: How Do You Know Which One to Choose?
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this bonus replay episode, I’m revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the Fierce Factor: one of the most dangerous myths women are taught about success, that “playing it safe” is the responsible choice. This conversation was sparked by a reflection on 2016, the year I started KLC and the year my brother passed away, and a question that stopped me in my tracks: Is my life truly better because I chose growth over safety? What I’ve learned over the past decade is this: safety is often conditional, and comfort can be far more limiting than risk. I take you back to my...

In this special episode of Business on Top, I’m answering real questions from women navigating the complexities of growing and scaling their businesses.

Episode 16: Your Performance is Built in Practice
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode of Business on Top, I’m getting a little more personal and reflecting on the experiences, failures, discipline, and perseverance that have shaped the leader I am today. I spend so much time focused on growth and what’s next that I rarely stop to recognize the experiences that gave me the skills and confidence to pursue those goals in the first place. In this episode, I talk about the importance of acknowledging the wisdom we’ve already earned through the challenges, failures, and moments when we had to get back up and keep going. I also share a personal story from my...

Episode 15: Clinical Expertise Won’t Build Your Business
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
I believe one of the biggest challenges in the aesthetics industry isn't clinical skill, it's business education. In this episode of Business on Top, I'm sharing why so many talented providers struggle with leadership, finances, hiring, and scaling their practices, despite being exceptional at what they do. If you've ever felt confident in the treatment room but uncertain reading your financials, leading a team, or making strategic business decisions, this conversation is for you. I dive into why this gap exists, how it keeps high-achieving founders stuck, and why mastering your craft isn't...

Episode 14: Part 2: The Six Stages of Entrepreneurial Business Growth
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In Part 2 of this series, I’m continuing the conversation around the six stages every business moves through and the leadership evolution required to successfully navigate each stage of growth. As your business grows, your role as a founder has to evolve. The strategies, habits, and decisions that helped you build your business are not always the same things that will help you scale it. In this episode, I’m breaking down the final four stages of business growth: Toddler, Teenager, Young Adult, and The Zone, and the mindset shifts required to move from being the person who does everything...

Episode 13: Part 1: The Six Stages of Entrepreneurial Business Growth
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
I’ve learned that every stage of business growth requires a different version of you as a leader. Just like parenting, your role evolves over time. The way you lead your business in the beginning is not the way you lead a million-dollar company, a growing team, or a business designed to give you your life back. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I’m sharing one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from working alongside hundreds of founders: businesses don’t outgrow strategy first, they outgrow leadership. I’m breaking down the first two stages of business evolution, Birth and...

Episode 12: Your Business Can Only Grow as Far as Your Operating System
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
Last week, I released a 7-part series on operational excellence, and the response was incredible. So many founders reached out saying these conversations completely shifted the way they think about growth, leadership, and building a business that doesn’t rely on them for everything. So, I wanted to bring the entire series together in one place. In this episode, you’ll hear all seven parts back-to-back as we dive into the systems, leadership, and operational frameworks that I’ve seen transform businesses over the last decade of working alongside hundreds of founders as they’ve crossed...

Episode 11: Growth Doesn’t Break Businesses. Weak Infrastructure Does.
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
If you’ve ever felt like your business is growing, but you’re carrying more stress, more responsibility, and less freedom than ever before, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sharing Day 1 of our five-day SPARK Leadership Intensive, where I dive into one of the biggest shifts every growing practice owner has to make: realizing that sustainable growth isn’t about working harder, it’s about leading differently. In this session, I’ll walk you through why so many successful businesses hit a plateau, how leadership, not demand, becomes the biggest growth constraint, and what it really...

Episode 10: If You Want to Be a Great Leader, Be a Great Follower
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
Most leadership conversations focus on what founders need from their teams. But in this episode of Business on Top, I want to flip the script and talk directly to employees, emerging leaders, and team members who want to grow their careers, increase their impact, and become indispensable within their organizations. One of the most valuable lessons I learned climbing the corporate ladder was this: if you want to be a great leader someday, you first need to learn how to be a great follower. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from both sides of the table, as an employee who worked her...
info_outlineWelcome to 2022 leader! I am fired up and on a mission that is bigger than ever, with a purpose that is ignited by impact, and fueled by a vision that is focused on iconic transformation … and that is to help another 100 inspiring and intentional women cross the next million dollar milestone in their business this year through the coaching, programming, and curriculum that our team at KLC has spent the past several years developing, refining, and perfecting for fierce founders and leaders in the aesthetic wellness space.
As we at KLC get ready to embark upon a new year with a fresh perspective about what’s possible, today I want to bring to you insights I’ve gathered as I’ve spent the past several months and really into the past year, researching and interviewing dozens of the top leaders in AW (aesthetic wellness industry) about the state of the economy, industry consumer trends, and forecasts for what’s to come for women owned businesses around the globe. This intelligence is something that has guided the decisions we have made heading into this year regarding who we work with, how we work, and what kind of programs we offer.
What we discuss today aren’t simply going to be the clinical trends you’ll see, but instead the more valuable insights into the overarching business strategy and philosophies going into this year that will help guide the choices you make about how you market, sell, and package your services- and to whom you may choose to offer them to.
We are entering a new era in our economy and our industry is primed for growth. But only the strongest will survive. It’s going to take working smarter, focus on getting better and more deliberate in the way you approach your business as a leader, and transitioning your role in your business from overworked employee to well directioned CEO. This is a year of rebalance, restructure, and rejuvenating. If this is resonating with you and you are looking for a partner to help you through the process this year, I’m your girl. We are your team. You can learn more about what it's like to work with us by heading to klcconsultants.com/join and filling out a brief application. It’s a few questions that we will ask to ensure that we are the right company to help you achieve your goals. Then we will set up a call to discuss your specific vision and chat about which program might be the best fit for you. It’s truly no pressure so if you are even considering finding a business coach and guide this year, now is the time leader.
Tune into this year’s kickoff episode to get ahead of these trends, capitalize on opportunity, and build the business and live of your dreams. You deserve it.
