Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm

Today's episode is a special one.  This fierce guest is many things to me- a provider, client, and friend.  And I have mad respect for the business she and her husband and partner in crime, Dr Jorge Castellanos have built together. While she is strikingly beautiful and outspoken about her convictions, She is actually quite introverted and you'll pick that up during the podcast as her humility ofte...

Today I think it's important for us to address a very timely issue related to hiring team. There is currently a business trauma happening in the field of staffing aesthetic practices, a colleague told me she is getting job applicants with literally NO experience! This phenomenon is sweeping over great practices across the nation. Essentially, the pandemic and the nuances related to employment of e...

Last week I shared part one of a recent interview in which I was a guest of Dr Tiphany Hall, Chief Growth Officer at Aesthetic Record on her podcast For the Record.  I really had a fun time chatting with Tiphany and sharing what it was like to transition from corporate America to consulting to the powerful coaching programs I have the honor of leading with some of the industry's most ambitious, br...

This week I am sharing with you pieces from a recent guest interview I did with Dr Tiphany Hall, Chief Growth Officer at Aesthetic Record on her podcast For the Record . I thought it would be valuable to share this interview as a two part episode to really unpack a bit about our philosophy over here at KLC.  Give a little insight into my industry perspective, and  some background around my story....

This episode tends to be a very spicy topic- when I say spicy, I mean slightly controversial because there are a lot of differing opinions about strategies for growing demand for business, one of them being a very familiar aspect of booking clients: The Waitlist. I was inspired by several recent conversations around the nuances of waitlisting over the past few months; essentially, providers with n...

This week I sat down with Vice President of Sales for Jan Marini Skin Research, Michael Poole to discuss the industry-disruptive new business development program TAP (Transforming Aesthetic Practices). We learn about Michael's background, his 20 years of experience in aesthetics and share our perspectives about how the industry is shifting- including the booming number of new aesthetic practices o...

This is episode 68 and today I really want to continue the conversation from last week's episode 67 " The quest to find your mini me ".... If you haven't had a chance to listen to that session be sure to go back to gain some context around today's conversation.  Essentially we discussed a powerful inflection point that happens with some of our most "in-demand" aesthetic injectors (and clients of a...

If you want to scale your business so you can generate more revenue without working 24/7, you may be at a point of really needing to hire other team members to essentially do what you do. It's not uncommon for me to be asked the question, "How do I find my mini-me? Such a simple, yet loaded question, right? Today I'd like to help break down the answer to that question as a sneak peek into a an exc...

This week I am sharing a very special Fierce Factor Encore episode. I've pulled out a few of my very favorite interviews with Fierce Women in Aesthetics who create, inspire, and disrupt the status quo. Last year I had the opportunity to interview a leading expert in clinical aesthetics, Nurse Practitioner extraordinaire, Lori Robertson. She is a decorated podium speaker, owner of Skin Perfect Medi...

Today's episode comes from my heart, and also from my own recovery journey.  You see, I used to beg for clients, then do backflips for them, then give them a discount, then worry if they would come back. I ran my business like a high school freshman. You might be thinking to yourself, What in the world does being a high school freshman have anything to do with being hungry for business and wanting...

A very important part of the work we do in our academy is helping our clients ask the right questions.  You may have heard me talk in a past podcast about the 5 Why's.  When faced with a decision, really reverse-engineering the answer through a series of questions to help guide our intuition and help us stay in integrity with our goals. And a few weeks ago a client of ours asked if she should inve...

You may be thinking to yourself "why in the world should I end my pursuit for abundance?  Isn't having a goal important?  Doesn't striving for more help me achieve more?  Isn't ambition a GOOD thing? The answer to all these questions is YES.  Of course it's important to desire to become Better.  It's this core desire that often fuels our ingenuity and inspires us to fix what's broken and make a ma...

Welcome to the fierce factor episode 62.  I have a special treat for you today, I wanted to share a conversation I had this week during a chat with Austin Evans, Director of Sales for Artemis Distribution on his podcast The Body Beauty Show. During this episode Austin and I discuss a bit about my journey into entrepreneurship and why I am on a mission to help 100 inspiring and intentional women cr...

Today we are going to discuss an important topic related to our Academy Milestone 3: Assembling a team of employees that will give you leverage to scale your business (meaning to help you make more money without the investment of more of your time)! I chose this topic today because I was inspired by one of our Academy members who is in a rapid hiring phase because she is in the process of a gorgeo...

It's time for another 'Reflections' episode, these are episodes where I take a look back at the past 15 episodes and sort of freestyle what's on my mind. And today I am thinking about the powerful work I get to do as a business coach to unravel and expose both limiting and accelerating beliefs that we have as individuals that ultimately drive our behavior and become frameworks for the way we make...

This week I am sharing a very special Fierce Factor Encore episode. I've pulled out a few of my very favorite interviews with Fierce Women in Aesthetics who create, inspire, and disrupt the status quo. Last year I had the opportunity to get vulnerable with one of this industry's thought leaders, Dr. Sabrina Fabi. She is a board-certified dermatologist who practices out of the world-renowned Cosmet...

Some practices invest tons of time and money helping their team learn how to "sell better." And I personally am OVER that method. The reality is, if a buyer has not assured themselves that they are worth investing in, no amount of phone schmoozing is going to "convince" that patient to book a consultation with you. They are either ready to invest in themselves or not.  And spending twenty minutes...

You've heard the saying "Success leaves clues" and I absolutely believe this is the truth .... Very often I am inspired to record podcasts that are influenced by work that our clients are doing in their businesses.  Sometimes I'll share best practices and other times I'll share lessons learned so you can anticipate and implement strategies to avoid plateaus that may be eminent for you in your busi...

I routinely hear excuses from business owners to validate why they are keeping themselves stuck, in complexity, or growing bigger but not better. "That employee is painfully resistant to change but I can't let them go because they've been here too long".  Or "I'm exhausted and don't have time to add more to my schedule so I'll just hang onto the same systems and cross my fingers they fit eventuall...

Today's guest is someone that has been on my radar for an interview for a long while.  You are going to love this episode with Dr Tiphany Hall as she opens up about her childhood, being a single mom, a college professor, and leading organizations from conception to thriving. Tiphany serves as the Chief Growth Officer at Aesthetic Record, an all-in-one EMR & Practice Management Solution that powers...

I have yet to meet a business owner who isn't looking to grow "demand" for their services in some way shape or form.  Either they are looking for a healthier flow of patients through their practice or they are looking for ways to attract higher-value clients who will eagerly pay top dollar, upsell, cross-sell, and refer other patients. You know that stage of business where you have a waiting list...

We have been patiently, actively, and attentively asking powerful questions and listening to you, to our community, and to our clients to develop a carefully formulated curriculum in our academy that takes our students step by step through the growth milestones that will teach you to masterfully build a deeply satisfying, lucrative, freedom-based business that stands the test of time. Most of our...

Something I've noticed about our Academy clients collectively this year is that they have strong clarity and visibility around the thing that makes them unique.  Basically, they have become marketing geniuses as it relates to developing a brand identity that exposes them as the preeminent category leader in their market. During the first year in the academy we take our students through the influen...

Hi Fierce Factor listeners! Welcome to Episode 51, a short and sweet yet powerful mindset shift around your environmental diet. Before you even think about how to grow and what to focus on, the first question to ask yourself is, "What can I eliminate?" When you tolerate things that do not positively influence your life and business, you risk developing habits that ultimately drain your energy and...
