Building a business isn’t just about marketing strategies, social media posts, or sales funnels. The truth is that entrepreneurship is just as much a mental game as it is a business strategy.
In this episode of Passports, Profits & Pixie Dust, Lindsay Dollinger dives into the often-overlooked topic of mindset and mental health in entrepreneurship — and why protecting your mental well-being is essential if you want long-term success.
If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, comparison, burnout, or the emotional ups and downs of running your own business, this episode is for you.
Lindsay shares real talk about the psychological challenges entrepreneurs face and practical ways to stay grounded while building a business that supports the life you actually want.
Whether you're a travel advisor, online entrepreneur, or someone dreaming about starting your own business, learning to protect your mindset can make the difference between burnout and sustainable success.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
• Why mindset matters just as much as marketing strategy
• The mental health challenges many entrepreneurs face but rarely talk about
• How comparison and perfectionism can sabotage your growth
• Simple ways to protect your energy and avoid burnout
• Why separating your self-worth from your business results is critical
• The importance of community and support as a business owner
• How reconnecting with your “why” can help you stay motivated
Key Takeaway
Your business success isn’t just about tactics and strategies — it’s about the mindset you bring to the journey. Protecting your mental health, setting boundaries, and giving yourself grace will help you build a business that actually supports the life you want to live.

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a travel agency owner, podcast host, high school Spanish teacher, dog mama to Bella, and Disney lover! She lives in Ohio with her younger sister and their rescue dog (from Puerto Rico), Bella. She's obsessed with all things Disney (the parks, movies, studying the business model, and running RunDisney races).
She started in business in network marketing in 2016. Needing an outlet to feel fulfilled after her mom passed away from a nearly 17 year battle with breast cancer in 2015, she quickly found that she was obsessed with helping other women also grow their businesses, and her coaching business very organically grew from her success in her own business and helping others on her team. She started this podcast in 2020 to share not only her own business advice and tips as she's on the journey herself, but also to interview other motivational women to share with YOU ! Additionally, she has always loved Disney, and one of the things she does is work as a travel agent who specializes in Disney and cruises. So, it was very natural for her to add her Disney-inspired branding into her business coaching, and the rest is history!
