Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Chelsea Lynn, Owner of Evoking the Shop, located in West Chester, PA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I'm a professional psychic medium, podcast host of the Styx and Bones podcast, practitioner, and metaphysical shop owner! I connect people to their crossed-over loved ones to provide them with closure and healing from the spiritual realm.
I also educate about spirituality and witchcraft and teach about psychic mediumship.
Tell us about yourself
I first started to work on my business when I realized I actually had a gift that could help people. I wanted to share that with everyone and anyone that I could.
I used to work in a really formal marketing position. Also, I realized that as I grew into who I was - this wasn't what I wanted for myself anymore, especially as someone who was connecting more with spirituality.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The fact that I have followers is my biggest achievement as a business owner! I can't believe how many people listen to my podcast, buy products from my shop and book my services every month. It's been incredible and humbling, but that didn't come without a ton of work and showing people what I could do.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a business owner is recognizing that some weeks will be tougher than others. You might not make any sales at all, but that's a risk we take when you go into a business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have money saved for a rainy day - there will be times when you need to tap into a saving account.
- It's not as glamorous as you think. It's stressful and requires you to work at it every day.
- Become incredible at social media. You don't have a business if you don't have social media.
