In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m thrilled to introduce Dominiece Clifton. Dominiece is a serial entrepreneur, coach, and business branding strategist who empowers aspiring female entrepreneurs to create exit strategies to ditch their 9-to-5 jobs and live more fulfilling lives.

In this episode, she’s sharing a pivotal moment for her that came up during the pandemic. Like most of us during that time, Dominiece was facing personal and professional challenges. It was through a meditation practice that she created a 90-day challenge focused on nurturing her mind, body, and spirit, leading her to discover her passion for entrepreneurship as a wellness coach. Together we reflect on how the pandemic provided many of us with a necessary pause to reevaluate our lives.

Now, 4 years later she is thriving! She’ll share her methods for maintaining consistency despite life’s challenges, her experiences with astrology and human design, and the importance of setting clear boundaries to balance entrepreneurship and motherhood.

 Welcome back to Common Wealth Conversations. I'm your host, Lynzie Smith.

I recently turned 36 and I'm really excited to come into this space and share a bit more of my own vulnerability and my heart as I continue through my own entrepreneurial journey. In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I wanted to reflect on 36 life lessons that I've learned over this last year.

I've had another immense year of growth, and at times it’s felt like change has been coming at me from all vantage points! I feel like my growth has rippled through most of my relationships in my personal and professional life, including my most important relationship with myself. I’ve been pivoting and evolving continuously, and I’m focused on supporting like-minded female entrepreneurs, founders, and CEOs through my own experiences. My hope and intention is to connect with those of you who see yourselves in my journey.

If you’re listening to this episode and it feels a bit too on the personal side for you, I’ve also redirected these 36 life lessons into business-related insights on my LinkedIn. Check out my LinkedIn profile!

Have you ever felt like the weight of your business rests entirely on your shoulders? What if I told you that true success doesn’t come from doing it all on your own? What if the key to thriving actually lies in something that comes naturally to us as women—the power of community?

In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, we’re diving deep into how you can start, nurture, and grow a thriving community that resonates with your brand and values. Whether you're just getting started or looking to elevate your community, I’ll be answering four key questions I’ve been asked recently as a consultant supporting other brands in building a thriving community. I’ll also share three actionable steps for each question to help you get started, wherever you’re at in your business.

• How do I build a community that aligns with my brand's mission and values?

• What are some approachable strategies to keep my community active and growing?

• How can I balance managing a community while juggling my other responsibilities?

• How can I reach long-term success through the power of community?

In this episode of Common Wealth Conversations, I’m sharing some key takeaways from the Beauty Biz Brunch, hosted by Brandi Taylor. She is a coach and the host of the Beauty Biz Network Podcast. The event was held at Marlo Beauty Studios locally for me, here in Metro Detroit. This experience was both eye-opening and inspiring.

In this episode, we’re going to talk about the importance of community and its role in business. At the Beauty Biz Brunch, there was so much talk about the power of community: how a well-nurtured community can fill in the gap in your marketing strategy to attract dream clients, the impact of connecting with like-minded professionals, and working with aligned brands to drive and diversify revenue.
