Benjamin Franklin famously said, "Out of adversity comes opportunity." Anyone who works long enough in any field is bound to realize the validity of Franklin's words the hard way, but this is especially true for anybody who works in the field of business.
Linnsey Dolson knows better than most the sheer value inherent in overcoming obstacles. Dolson is a professional serial entrepreneur and business coach known professionally as Linnsey Inc., whose specialty is guiding individuals and businesses through the trials and tribulations they're bound to face. She’s all the more uniquely suited to the role precisely because of the hardships she has overcome. Resilience and recovery are the game's name, which is a truth that Linnsey Dolson lives and breathes.
"Challenges are inevitable in any career." Dolson says, "I faced numerous setbacks but overcame them with perseverance and resilience. I embraced the belief that beyond fear lies greatness, and with unwavering determination, I rose above every obstacle." The obstacle that Dolson refers to overcoming is the fact that not so long ago, she was "a homeless drug addict" and, in the past eight years, has completely turned her life around, becoming a highly successful "seven-figure earning," says the entrepreneur. "I bring a unique perspective of resilience, the power of self-belief, and the transformative potential within everyone. My story exemplifies that success is achievable regardless of past adversities."
Through Linnsey Inc., Dolson has given back to the community with her invaluable insight and ability to share the lessons she's learned from her experiences. Dolson says, "Linnsey Inc. is more than a brand; it's a testament to the power of second chances and the human spirit's resilience. Our mission is to spread hope and inspire others to believe in their potential, no matter their past struggles."
Dolson is not only an advocate of second chances in her business but also in her personal life. Within the structure of Linnsey Inc., Dolson prides herself on taking chances with new hires and allowing them to flourish within the environment. For example, Hannah, who began her career as a Linnsey Inc. cleaner, is now a general manager. Through fostering an environment of open and authentic transparency regarding leadership and core values, Dolson has been able to turn lives around within and without her company.
She says that Linnsey Inc. "allows me to cherish my blessings, support recovering addicts, and guide other entrepreneurs. Linnsey Inc. embodies my commitment to growth, resilience, and success." Linnsey Inc. and its subsidiaries have consistently been recognized as number one in their respective industries and featured in prestigious magazines.
Moving forward, Dolson and Linnsey Inc. show no signs of slowing down in entrepreneurship. "In the coming years, I envision Linnsey Inc. expanding its reach, empowering more individuals in recovery, and inspiring aspiring entrepreneurs. My dream is to create a global community of resilient, successful individuals who have overcome adversity."
