Success At A Cost
THE BUSINESS YOU BUILT, IS COSTING YOU THE LIFE YOU WANTED
You started your business for freedom—but somewhere along the way, it became the very thing stealing your time, your energy, and your peace.
What was once your dream has turned into a constant state of pressure. The never-ending client requests, the team that relies on you for every answer, the late nights spent “just trying to catch up”—it’s all adding up. And beneath the smile, the success, and the full calendar, you’re quietly wondering how much longer you can keep holding it all together.
In this raw, powerful keynote, Lyndzi Barnes shares the story so many business owners are living—but not talking about. She opens up about the moment she nearly lost everything, and the systems that helped her not only reclaim her time, but rebuild her life around what truly mattered. No fluff, no empty motivation—just the truth about what it takes to go from burnout to balance.
This talk is a wake-up call and a lifeline for the business owner who’s tired of doing everything for everyone and ready to lead with intention. If you’re craving a business that gives back what you’re putting in—one that works for you, not because of you—this is the moment that changes everything.

The Choice Factor
SUCCESS ISN'T A SECRET - IT'S A CHOICE
Too many small business owners are stuck in cycles of overthinking, hesitation, and waiting. Waiting for clarity. Waiting for motivation. Waiting for the “right” time to finally do the thing they know they need to do. But waiting won’t build your business—action will.
In this unapologetically direct and empowering keynote, Lyndzi Barnes pulls back the curtain on the quiet patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck: procrastination disguised as perfectionism, passive decisions that stall progress, and the habit of constantly playing small to avoid failure.
With a mix of tough love, personal truth, and practical strategy, Lyndzi challenges business owners to stop looking for permission and start stepping into ownership. You’ll leave this session with a renewed sense of control, a fire to move forward, and the mindset shift needed to stop spinning—and start scaling.
If you’re ready to stop settling and start building the business—and life—you actually want, it starts right here. Success isn’t a secret. It’s a choice. Make it.

Leading Blindly
SUCCESS ISN'T A SECRET - IT'S A CHOICE
You pour your heart, soul, and every spare hour into your business—believing that passion, dedication, and hard work will be enough to get you where you want to go. For a while, that belief carries you. You power through the long days, say yes to everything, and convince yourself that hustle equals progress. But what happens when it doesn’t?
What happens when the growth you dreamed of still feels out of reach—despite the endless hours and all-in energy? Without a clear roadmap, we’re not leading—we’re just reacting. We’re stuck in a cycle of doing instead of directing, driving toward a destination we never actually defined.
And the longer we stay in that cycle, the more it costs us.
Burnout creeps in. Priorities blur. The business that once lit us up starts to feel like a weight we can’t put down. The joy fades, replaced by exhaustion, resentment, and quiet questions like, “Am I even cut out for this?” or “How much longer can I keep this up?”
In this keynote, we’ll talk about what it really means to stop leading blindly. You’ll learn how to shift from reactionary chaos to intentional, strategic action—how to build rhythms, systems, and decision-making structures that support your goals instead of sabotaging them.
This isn’t about working harder. It’s about building smarter. You’ll walk away with the clarity, direction, and framework to finally create a business that works for you—one that fuels your life instead of draining it.
Because running a business shouldn’t mean running yourself into the ground. It should mean freedom, fulfillment, and the power to choose what success really looks like.

Business Baseline
KNOW WHERE YOU STAND, SO YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO
Too many small business owners are making big decisions based on guesswork. They’re raising prices without clear profit margins, hiring help without understanding capacity, and trying to scale without knowing whether their systems can even support it. And when things feel off, they don’t know what to fix—so they just keep pushing harder, hoping it will all eventually work out.
But hope isn’t a business strategy. The Business Baseline is.
This high-impact workshop is your opportunity to stop operating in the dark and start leading with data, clarity, and confidence. We’ll break down the core areas of your business—your financials, customer journey, systems, team operations, and performance metrics—to give you a real-time snapshot of where your business actually stands today.
No fluff. No vague advice. Just honest insight and actionable direction.
This isn’t about making you feel behind—it’s about empowering you to take control. Whether you’re brand new or years into your business, The Business Baseline gives you the clarity you need to stop guessing, start solving, and finally move forward with purpose.
You’ll walk away knowing:
• What’s working—and what’s silently costing you money, time, and energy
• Where you’re wasting resources or duplicating effort
• Which systems (or lack thereof) are holding you back
• What your team really needs from you to succeed
• And what specific next steps will give you the biggest return, fastest
Because you can’t build a stronger business without a strong starting point. This is where sustainability begins—and where smart growth truly takes root.

Operations Overhaul
THE STRUCTURE BEHIND SCALING
Most small businesses don’t make it past the 10-year mark—and it’s not because the owners didn’t work hard enough.
It’s because they tried to do everything alone. They wore every hat, made every decision, managed every detail, and responded to every fire. They kept the business afloat through grit and sheer willpower, hoping that eventually things would click, systems would fall into place, and growth would follow. But hope is not a strategy—and hustle has a limit.
For service-based business owners especially, the challenges are relentless: unrealistic customer expectations, constant interruptions, limited support, a shrinking labor pool, and the exhausting feeling that no matter how much you do, it’s never enough.
That’s where Operations Overhaul comes in.
This hands-on, tactical workshop is about breaking the cycle of doing it all and building something that lasts. You’ll learn how to create your business blueprint—one that simplifies the chaos, documents the critical processes, and sets your entire operation up for sustainability.
We’ll walk through how to:
• Create streamlined SOPs that are actually usable by your team
• Design workflows that save time and eliminate bottlenecks
• Clarify roles and responsibilities so you’re not always the go-to
• Build operational structure that gives you room to lead, delegate, and grow
• Spot inefficiencies before they cost you money, time, or team morale
This is more than a systems talk—it’s a complete mindset shift. You’ll walk away not only with tools and templates, but with the clarity and confidence to finally stop reacting to your business—and start running it like a well-oiled machine.
Because sustainable success isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters—on purpose, with a plan.

Beyond The Calendar
THINK BIGGER THAN THE TO DO LIST
Most small business owners think productivity is just a matter of better time management—color-coded calendars, task lists, and tighter scheduling. But when the days are still packed, the to-do list keeps growing, and you’re constantly playing catch-up, it becomes clear: it’s not just about time. It’s about structure.
Beyond the Calendar is a powerful keynote that challenges the way entrepreneurs think about productivity, time, and leadership. It goes deeper than daily routines and dives into what it truly takes to build a business that runs with rhythm, not reactivity.
In this session, Lyndzi Barnes introduces the Rhythm Calendar—a system designed to do more than manage your day. It helps you understand who’s doing what, when it’s due, who’s in charge, and where it stands. But it doesn’t stop there. This framework gives you the clarity to make smarter decisions around hiring, delegation, payroll, project timelines, team capacity, and communication—so your calendar becomes your strategy, not your stressor.
This isn’t a motivational talk about time—it’s an operational shift that will change how you lead.
You’ll walk away with:
• A repeatable system to align tasks, team, and timelines
• Visibility into what’s slowing you down (and how to fix it)
• Insight into how to reduce your personal workload without losing control
• Tools to plan proactively instead of reacting constantly
• A structure that scales with your business—not one that breaks under pressure
Because real productivity isn’t about doing more. It’s about creating systems that let your business run smoothly—even when you step away.
