Lynchpin

Lynchpin • Freelance project manager •
• Expert Connector•
• Ideas Generator •
• Founder of Why Lynchpin? Creative StartUps excite me.

I set up Lynchpin when I was editor of a lifestyle magazine back in 2015 to support SMEs with their media strategies. During the pandemic I pivoted the business from being a media and marketing agency to offering creative project management services on a freelance basis. Well I'm a bloody good connector and I love my surname Lynch

In all honesty a Linchpin is a person who is vital to a business,

organisation or establishment. (Nurses are the linchpins to the NHS)

I take the lead role in planning, executing and managing all sort of creative projects. I am happy to be accountable for the entire project scope, project team, resources, and the success of the whole project. Recently I have been commissioned to be a locations scout to find venues, establishments, homes and talent within the tv/film/photography industry

Here are some of the clients and projects I’m working with at present:

Paul Bach Locations - working closely with Paul, I am his freelance locations scout for tv / film productions within Wales

Matt Cant Photography & Film - I am the lead production manager of a variety of photo and film shoots. At present we are working within the tourism industry in Wales for a variety of local councils. Keep Wales Tidy - as a Green Key Consultant liaising with establishments across the whole of Wales particularly in the tourism & hospitality sector. My responsibilities include educating and encouraging operation directors at hotels, conference centres, attractions plus highlighting the benefits of Green Key to owners of campsites, cafes and restaurants to apply for Green Key accreditation. Track My Business - assisting with project managing their online marketing. Recently launching a new website and the liaison between designers, copy writers and photographers. I enjoy working with new business founders. I help them clarify the vision of their StartUp and how it fits in with their personal goals. I advise and assist with sales & marketing plans, social media content and delivery, product launch events and provide introductions to funding and investment experts

What else does the Lynchpin love to do?? WALES COAST AMBASSADOR...

In my spare time I am on a mission to highlight and showcase amazing spaces and independent businesses based near or along the Welsh coast

If you run a business near the Welsh coast please DM me, as I’d love to help you. I know how tough it is to market your own brand and I know if it’s not money it’s time constraints that stop you from focusing on your sales & marketing plans

I know every corner of Wales and I certainly know how to promote awesome establishments within the tourism and hospitality industry. I also am an expert in arranging collaborations within local businesses and help build thriving communities

So let’s connect! Side Projects:

Are you thinking about leaving your job to start your own business?

Are you unhappy at work?

Do you wake up in the middle
of the night bursting with ideas for your startup?

So what is the REAL reason for why you haven’t yet taken the leap into starting your own business?

Maybe you don’t know. That’s ok

Most of us fear failure and are too nervous to make the move into self employment

Some of us worry about how we will pay the rent/mortgage/bills once we’ve left a secure job

A few of us don’t know what we don’t know but are too shy to ask for help

Fear not!

I’m hosting a variety of 121 and group Startup coaching sessions

If you want to hear more about a ‘no bullsh*t’ approach to business from someone who has succeeded and failed, but always bounced back with a CAN DO attitude, then please connect with me here

I shall guide you through everything you need to know from… troubleshooting your idea, show you how to start with a zero budget, help you find a caring accountant, give you the tools to be a confident salesperson because you are going to have to sell like you’ve never sold before, support you when you lose momentum, talk you through the boring stuff like insurance and tax. The list goes on

Take it from my recent Startup recruits (see my recommendations section for reviews) I am the energy and ideas person you need! I will show you how to live the life you want to live. One that is filled with more joy and less stress whilst you build the business you’ve dreamt of running.

I can’t wait to talk to you
Your time is NOW!

If this isn’t for you but you know of friend or colleague who is searching for Startup support then please share this post.

Thanks in advance 🙏

When I’m coaching new StartUp recruits I always get asked about books or magazines I’d recommend

I could suggest 100’s but these are some of my all time favourites

Let me know if you want to learn more about any of the books listed and why you should read them

In the meantime, I’m here to answer any of your queries about starting a business. I’d love to chat with you about how you go about taking the leap into self employment.

There is no better time than now to start being in control of your own work life!! Good luck🤞

In the name of research…

Do you attend a weekly/monthly networking group? If yes, is it online? Or face to face?

Are you part of a business community? If yes, is it local, national or global?

Is there a group of business owners you connect with on a regular basis?

I’d love to hear more about which business social hubs you attend. Where new ones have launched recently and why they are so good to part of 🙏

•LYNCHPIN LAUNCHPAD•

My ‘Start Up’ coaching sessions are back!

If you or anyone you know is looking to take the leap from full time employment to start a business, then my coaching sessions could be just what you need right now!

Over the next few days via my social media channels I’ll explain what you can expect from my startup coaching sessions.

Plus I’ll mention what the benefits of both 121 coaching vs group sessions

There is no time like the present to take action. New month, new start 😄

I know how it feels
Back in 2006 when I left a huge corporate job earning £70k to start my own coffee shop I was in a right pickle.

Fast forward 15 years and a few small businesses under my belt, I have no retreats, I work when I want and where I want. (Mostly at the beach)

It takes courage and emotionally and mentally can hurt to leave a secure full time job

But if you’re not happy and have a burning desire to start your own business feel reassured that you don’t have to go it alone

If you’re ready to take the leap of faith don’t be shy send me a DM and let’s connect. Even if you don’t have the big idea nailed yet we can discuss how to get you on the road to being your own boss!

Exciting times ahead
I promise, won’t regret it

Calling all coworkers!!

Where is your favourite space to cowork in Wales?

It doesn’t have to be a big cowork hub it could be a local cafe, community centre or kitchen table

I would love to hear from you and from folk from all corners of Wales

Some of my best coworking spaces have been on or near the beach.

From next month I’m going on a co working tour around Wales. So let me know where to cowork as I’m sure there are 100’s of cool places to discover
