Meet Innovative Woman Lindsey Walker, CEO and Lead Publicist of the firm PR Mentality.
1. How/why did you begin your business?
I started my business when I could not find a job. I had always had a love for public relations, I have a Bachelor’s in Mass Communications and owning a PR firm was always a dream of mine. I love helping people to get visible and stay visible within their industries. I create brand awareness through media relations, event planning and more. When I started my firm, I knew that I would be a voice for those who had an amazing product or service through representing their brands.
2. What has been your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge has been keeping a positive mind when things were rough. No one tells you how hard the road of entrepreneurship can be sometimes. I overcame it by taking a step away from everything and figuring out my true purpose in life and in business. I reminded myself to be grateful to God for everything that I had and everything that He allowed me to accomplish.
3. How do you define SUCCESS?
Success is never ending; it is staying true to who you are, staying true to the vision that God has given you within your business and working hard to build your brand and maintain your reputation.
4. If there was one thing you wish you knew before you began your business, what would that be?
Not to make big investments in the first year. I purchased a lot of things that I thought I needed and really didn’t.
5. What makes you an innovative woman?
I am an innovative woman because I took a risk to pursue my dreams by moving to a new city, where I didn’t have any family and any support system. I am an innovative woman because I consistently create opportunities for myself and others to grow in business. I am innovative because I know that my purpose is to empower, educate and expose brands to the world through providing them with public relations services. My hope is to inspire others that they too can accomplish their goals if they walk in faith, work hard and continue to believe in the vision for their businesses.
