We’re talking about a concept that gets talked about a lot in tech, but not nearly enough in service businesses - recurring revenue. This episode is about why predictable, repeatable revenue models matter in every industry.

Most people think success in sales is about volume. More calls. More meetings. More noise.But for Natasha Walstra, founder of NearPoint Strategies, it started differently.As a self-proclaimed introvert, her first role required 100+ cold calls a day - measured purely by how many appointments she could book. And while others chased numbers, Natasha leaned into something that felt more natural: relationships.She booked fewer meetings, but the ones she booked actually showed up.That was her first signal: her way worked.A mentor saw it too, and doubled down on her approach. Long before LinkedIn was what it is today, Natasha was building genuine connections first, then turning them into conversations. That belief—and what she calls “borrowed confidence” from her mentor changed everything.Her business?It started at 3 am after someone asked for help with LinkedIn strategy. And like many entrepreneurial journeys, it wasn’t linear.After the premature birth of her son and a battle with postpartum depression, everything paused. It was her husband - and later a coach -who reminded her: you built this once, you can build it again.And she did.✨ Her biggest lessons:– Success comes from doing the right things consistently– Focus on productive activity, not just busy work– Be authentically you - every comment, every post is a “trust deposit”Because the real growth strategy? It’s not louder. It’s more human.🎧 Tune in to this episode of Finding Reverie: An Entrepreneur’s Podcast to hear how Natasha built a business rooted in relationships and resilience.

KJ Blattenbauer didn’t set out to build a PR firm - she quit her corporate job without a plan, moved to a new state, rented an apartment sight unseen, and started calling “cool people and brands” to see if they needed help. When 13 said yes, KJ realized she should do this the right way and start a business. And just like that, Hearsay PR was born.As the Founder and Publicist of Hearsay PR, and author of Pitch Worthy, KJ lives by the mantra “How hard can this be?” She believes every person, product, and business has a story worth sharing. Her work is rooted in helping clients step into visibility with confidence - putting themselves out there, owning their voice, and trusting that their story deserves to be seen and heard.Her other mantra? Life is too short not to enjoy what you’re doing and have fun - even in a notoriously tough industry like public relations.If you’ve ever questioned your next move, or needed the push to put yourself out there, this conversation is for you.

This conversation is a masterclass in sales...and in resilience. Mike’s sales career started early, helping his dad sell boats at the Chicago Boat Show. In the dead of winter, with snow on the ground, he volunteered simply to help his dad - and still outsold the full-time sales representatives. That momentum never stopped.What’s his edge?He builds real relationships.He sells with urgency.He shows up disciplined and consistent - EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.He never makes excuses when it comes to closing sales.When Mike left a secure, successful sales role to start LionHeart with his partners, he bet on himself. He also felt the weight of being the company’s only salesperson, carrying the pressure of providing for his family while building something from the ground up. The pressure was real, but quitting was never an option.If you lead sales, build teams, or are considering betting on yourself, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.
