We had the good fortune of connecting with Kassidy Owen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kassidy, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
Work/life balance will forever be difficult to manage. One way that I have prioritized this balance is by deciding what my top priorities are. You can’t have work, kids, and fitness as your number 1; that will set you up for failure. Health and wellness come first for my life, family/friends, then my business. This is not to say my business is last on the list; it’s just that other things come first. I live by the value that I work to live, not live to work. If I devote all my time to my business, I am not truly living my life.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Kassidy Lynne Social Media Management is a social media management and content creation company whose mission is to help business owners have the time and freedom to grow their businesses without stressing about social media.

I don’t promise my clients that they will become famous: I promise that they will be less stressed over how to keep up with the ever-changing platforms. I create a plan, and then I execute said plan.

Building a business is NOT easy. It is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The endless hours, rejection, and self-discipline are some of the hardest parts of being a business owner. But the rewards? Time freedom, choosing clients I am passionate about, and knowing that one day I will be able to build a culture that will cultivate future business owners.

I want the person reading this, thinking about starting a business, to know that if they want it bad enough, they can do it. Do you know what it takes to be a business owner? Grit, Perseverance, Effort, and Passion. And when it gets hard (because it will), you get up and tell yourself what I tell myself every day, “you just have to make it to tomorrow.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If you’re in Vegas, I highly recommend Superfrico at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas! It’s an experience unlike any other, and the food is INCREDIBLE.

If you’re in Naples, Florida, I recommend Seed To Table; this is a grocery store where you can actually drink a glass of wine while you shop! The food is incredible, and they always have live music and dancing.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have worked hard to build a career I love with clients who appreciate and value my work. It has taken nearly two years to develop into the business owner I am today, and I still have lots to learn. I could not have gotten this far without my therapist guiding me through tough conversations, my coaches pushing me to grow in my weak areas, and my family and friends’ support. I am most grateful for my ability to never give up, even on the hard days; it may have been easier to throw in the towel, but instead, I chose to get back up and try again.
