Why NOW is the time to monetize your passion!

If you are contemplating turning your passion into a source of income, the time is NOW!

Reason #1 - Signs of a dwindling economy are screaming at us. Just like 2007 when housing began to shift, the same thing is happening now. Companies are laying people off in droves. The government is controlling inflation with interest rates, but we all know that can only last so long.

Rather than fear the coming recession, I say, embrace it! Get ahead of this by creating an additional revenue stream.

Reason #2 - Recent polls indicate that only 9% of American's say they are both happy and thriving in their current job. That means that 81% of people are unhappy in their job! If you are less than 100% satisfied in your current position, start monetizing your passion on the side and watch where it takes you! Imagine doing what you love and getting paid for it.

Reason #3 - Rising inflation is already raising its ugly head in the bank accounts of many people. Food costs, building costs, and housing and automobile costs are reaching pinnacles. Hedge inflation with a side business! Monetize your passion today.

Profile picture for Lindsay Sutherland

Lindsay Sutherland

Lindsay Sutherland is a business consultant, speaker, and entrepreneur dedicated to helping business owners build companies that run with freedom, purpose, and profit. With over 20 years of leadership and sales experience in the automotive industry, Lindsay understands the challenges of growing a business that feels more like a burden than a blessing. After leaving corporate life, she co-founded Biz in a Box Solutions, a CRM and automation company that empowers small service-based businesses to streamline their operations and reclaim their time.

Her signature consulting program, The Clockwork Method, guides overwhelmed business owners through the process of systemizing, scaling, and stepping back into the true role of visionary leader. Lindsay’s approach blends practical business systems with faith-led alignment, helping entrepreneurs not only make more money but also create a business that supports their life — not the other way around.

As the host of The Freedom Entrepreneur Podcast, Lindsay shares strategies, stories, and mindset shifts that challenge conventional thinking and inspire business owners to grow without burning out. She also co-owned Off Grid Unlimited Installations, an electrical and renewable energy company in Idaho, where she lives with her husband and four children on their family farm.

Passionate about redefining success beyond hustle culture, Lindsay helps leaders build businesses rooted in clarity, sustainability, and freedom. Whether she’s speaking on stage, consulting with executives, or mentoring faith-led entrepreneurs, her mission is the same: to help people transform their business into a vehicle for purpose, profit, and lasting impact.
