I Sold My Company and Found My Purpose (A Year-End Plot Twist)

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come disguised as detours.

A year ago, Lindsay was all-in on a solar company—building a membership, launching a YouTube channel, hiring team members, managing inventory. The podcast sat on the back burner. Her personal coaching business was paused. She was intensely focused on what seemed like the right path forward.

Then May happened. Her business partner's father got sick. By August, they'd sold the company. And in that space between what was and what's next, something shifted.

Sitting in her recliner post-county fair (because yes, entrepreneurship sometimes includes raising 4-H animals), Lindsay experimented with Grok AI. She didn't tell it about her podcast or her business—just answered questions about her history, her beliefs, what matters to her.

The AI's response? "You should be called the Freedom Engineer."

Her jaw dropped. That's exactly what she'd been doing all along. The self-doubt that whispered "why would anyone want to learn from you?" evaporated. The fire reignited.

In this raw year-end reflection, Lindsay shares:

The Social Media Hook That Sparked Everything:

1. Michelle Gifford's prompt: "The ultimate plot twist of 2025"
2. Why reflecting backward is the key to moving forward
3. How to use this hook for your own year-end content (and why it matters beyond just posting)

The Questions That Create Clarity:

1. Where were you last December 26th? (Not physically—in life)
2. What were you excited about then that's completely shifted now?
3. Who were you listening to, following, or affiliated with?
4. How have YOU changed as a person?

The Unexpected Journey:

1. From solar company co-owner to selling in months
2. Why she thought she'd "given up" on her business (spoiler: she'd given up on herself)
3. The AI conversation that changed everything
4. How her podcast jumped from top 5% to top 3% globally since August—without a massive strategy shift

The Tether Ball Theory of Growth:

1. Why entrepreneurial growth isn't linear
2. How we spiral up the pole, hitting the same beliefs at different levels
3. The difference between "I'm all in" (head decision) vs. "I'm all in" (soul truth)
4. When your purpose becomes non-negotiable—not because you force it, but because you ARE it

The Clarifying Detour:

1. Why the solar company wasn't a mistake—it was necessary
2. How "phenomenal opportunities" can be clarifying moments, not destinations
3. What changed between "doing my business" and being unable to do anything else
4. The difference between logical alignment and soul alignment

The Breakthrough Moment: Lindsay's intensity shifted. Not from hustle or strategy, but from finally standing in the truth of what she's built for. The solar company checked all the logical boxes—financial security, growth potential, partnership. But it wasn't what God had her cut out for.

Now? Monthly recurring revenue and digital asset building isn't just what she teaches—it's her non-negotiable truth. The kind you can't articulate fully, you just know in your bones.

The Permission You Didn't Know You Needed: You're made for something specific. God has a plan. Even when it looks like you're off track, you're being led exactly where you need to go. The detours aren't delays—they're clarifying moments.

Your Year-End Reflection Assignment:

1. Where were you last December 26th?
2. What's your ultimate vision now?
3. How do you stand differently today than you did then?
4. Share it (on socials or just with yourself)
5. Be present in that truth

If recurring revenue and passive income through digital assets keeps calling to you the way it calls to Lindsay—that's not random. That's your signal.
