Mommies Who Want More



In my last post, I told you guys that I had decided to dedicate my summer to helping other moms.  Since that post, I went into overdrive in creating a 90-day system for moms who want to own a business.  Now that I think about it, I wouldn't call it a system at all.  It's a boot camp; it's an all-out plan of attack on their finances to get them making  six figures a year by the end of summer.  I call this system/boot camp Mommies Who Want More. 

I am only working with women who are ready to wage war on their finances no matter what it takes.  I am in the process of selecting the seven women who I will be working with closely this summer.  Though I would love to work with every mother, I am a mother too and only have so much time to allocate in a day.  So seven is my max.  I am being very selective.  These moms have to be ready to take action.  I'm not looking for women whose decision to start the system/bootcamp is dependent on what the system is or what the business is.  Questions like those let me know that they're not in the right mindset to really do whatever it takes to succeed because let's be honest, if you are serious about being successful, you will do whatever it takes to make it succeed- no matter what the business is.  You don't have to love make up or coffee or weight-loss supplements to be successful. 

You just have to have the vision and the fire to be successful to market your business.  I know a young lady who loves makeup and signed up for a new make-up marketing company but hasn't succeeded with the business.  She doesn't have the vision or fire.  That's not who I am looking for.  I am looking for moms who have a fire in their bellies for something greater for their families than they have now.  That's it.  Everything else can be taught.  Passion can't.

I am super excited to get this going in June.  I will definitely keep you posted.

Until my next post, I wish all my moms, peace, patience and prosperity.

I Hate My Life

So things are not going the way you want it to and you feel like they never will.  What do you do?  EVERYTHING YOU CAN!!!

This is exactly why I became an entrepreneur.  I realized that working for someone else would not give me the desires of my heart.  In fact, I would be working to give someone else the desires of their heart.  I realized that I had to determine the life I wanted and pursue it WHOLEHEARTEDLY.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would find myself in marketing and working online but here I am and it has been an incredible journey.  I am so grateful for everything that I've have learned and every person that I have met.  I look forward to what is come.


If you are an entrepreneur or aspiring entrepreneur comment below.  I would love to connect with you.

What does retirement look like to you?

Hey guys

Sorry for being MIA this past week but I have been working extremely hard on adding an additional stream of income for the family.  If all goes well, my husband should be able to quit his job by the end of the year.  Yes, I said the end of the year.  This one stream will allows us to spend more time growing our other streams of income without having to work a 9 to 5 any longer.

Though a 9 to 5 provides some measure of security, we also learned a few months ago that it also can deny you time with your family, time for a vacation and time to enjoy life (read here).  If you remember, my post about the CASHFLOW quadrant, you remember that jobs force you to trade time for money.  Some people get excited about working 2-3 jobs but not me.  That's why I'm working hard to move on the other side of the equation and own a system/business that has people work for me.  This system/business will, in turn, allow my husband to expand our business into the investment realm and allow our money to work for us.  So essentially, we will be trading money for more money.


So what does retirement look like for me?
  • a chef, nanny and maid
  • $10,000 in emergency savings and growing
  • $20,000 in the boys' savings accounts
  • 3+ trips/cruises a year
  • A four bedroom home with an office
  • Sleeping in
  • Enjoying my 30s with my husband (that should have been first on the list)
  • Great performing investments. 
This is how we will get there..
  • Pay off debt a year from now (I hate owing anyone ANYTHING)
  • Retire my husband from his 9 to 5 job. (He deserves it)
  • Two years from now, retire myself with this major income stream
  • Let our system make money for us on autopilot
  • Expand our territory

So what does retirement for you include? trading time for money  for 40 years or trading money (investing) for more money in a few years?  Comment below.  If you would like to trade money for more money rather than time for money, then join this event today.  

Until next time, I wish you peace, patience and prosperity.

Waiting for Perfect

If I only I had an extra $20 but...
When I get a tax refund, I will...
I have to wait until next month, then...
I thought about it but...

Since I work on Facebook, I often hear people's complaints of their financial whoas.  They contact me expressing their concerns for more money.  I hear about their living-paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyles. I meet the single moms or psuedo-single moms who have kids who they would like to stay home with.  I meet wives whose husbands are working so very hard to provide for their families but it just isn't enough.  I hear the stories of the mountains of debt they would LOVE to pay off.

They all come to me because they have seen that I get results and ask how they can do what I do on Facebook.  How they can work online and help out their husbands and/or provide for their families.  But once I provide them with the information, they decide to stay stuck. They say:

  • If I only I had an extra $20 but...
  • When I get a tax refund, I will...
  • I have to wait until next month, then...
  • It sounds good but...
  • I have tons to do now, so I'll start in a few...

They decide to stay stuck in poverty.  An yes, it is a decision to be stuck in poverty.  You can either wait for perfect conditions or you can make moves to make your own perfect conditions.  Thus, whenever someone gives me their decision to remain poor, I don't push.  And even though I could pull ott my tools for overcoming their objections, I don't.

I have learned that poverty is a mindset, not a place.  As long as someone chooses to be poor, I can't help them.  Even if they decide to get started but have not fully committed to get unstuck, then they will quit and  will continue to be stuck. They will not put all that they can into making the necessary moves to get out of their predicament.

My only reply "This is probably not a good fit for you.  Best of luck to you." I would rather them be someone's awesome 'E' than a mediocre 'S'.  If you're considering of working online or becoming an entrepreneur,  my only suggestion is to start thinking like one.  You have to create the life you want and believe you can achieve it.  Stop waiting for opportunity because it will NEVER come.  You have to find it.

Until next time, I wish you peace, patience and prosperity.

What Side of the Equation are You on?

Robert Kiyosaki Cash Flow Quadrant
Today, my husband and I had the opportunity of begin a 3-day intensive Rich Dad training.  Rich Dad is an enterprise comprised of financial workshops, webinars, trainings, and mentorships.  If you have any desire to be totally debt free AND financially free (yes there is a difference) then it is imperative you attend these trainings.

The basis of all trainings is the concept the company's founder, Robert Kiyosaki, created called The CASHFLOW Quadrant (see diagram above). According to Kiyosaki, there are four different types of people in business.  In order to eventually become debt free and financially free, you must first understand where you are on the quadrant and understand that you cannot stay where you are and gain freedom; you MUST move.

Divide the quadrant into left and right and you will see that the persons on the left are the workers and the right side are the bosses.  Ninety-five percent of the population is comprised of the workers and five percent of the population is comprised if the bosses,   The employees are the folks with a 'D' mindset and our self-employed person are our 'A' mindset folks.  Essentially, they do the same thing, they exchange their time for money.  The only main difference is that employees have jobs and the self-employed own their jobs.  In other words, the self-employed are not waiting for so one to create or take away their jobs.  They do NOT have people telling them to risk their lives for money.  This is where employees should aspire to be.  Now the self-employed, like myself, should aspire to become a partof the right side of the quadrant and own more than just their jobs.  This is where you'll find your 'C' student.



Instead, they own businesses and money.  This is how you begin to create wealth. You grow and aspire for more.  As a big business owner, you no longer own a job, you own other people's jobs and  proven systems like McDonalds franchises or MLM businesses.  As a big business owner, you have the opportunity to hire those 'A' students so thar you can become an investor where your money controls all the other quadrants and creates an income for you.    

So which side of the equation would you rather be on: the side that exchanges time for money or the side that exchanges other people's time, talents, money and knowledge for money?

Subscribe to this blog if you are ready to migrate to a different quadrant and begin a journey to financial freedom.


Until my next post.... I wish you peace, patience and prosperity.

Not going to happen this time: Lessons from Atlanta's stranded snow survivors

Though there are many lessons to be learned from the Atlanta snowpocalypses Leon and Pax, the most important one is to have a Plan B (and C) for creating income for yourself and your family. I only pray that everyone affected had enough money to adequately prepare for this storm.  I also pray that no one was forced to choose between life and making a living this week.

If you are snowed in today, have a 'C' mindset or truly want a 'C' mindset and need a plan B for snowy days like today, take the first step to start working from home/ online via social media today.  Click here for information on how to get started.  Again, 'D' students need not apply. McDonalds is still hiring.

**Do not click above if you are only curious..  If you are not determined to work and win TODAY, then wait until you are.  This saves both of us time and money.**

My day is pretty full today but I am always willing to make time for anyone who is willing to work today.  I can't wait to meet and chat with you today.  So let's go.

Road to nowhere: Minor snowstorm brings Atlanta to standstill

Now I can empathize with those stranded on the highway.  In 2005, I found myself stranded on Highway 290 in an evacuation stampede from Hurricane Rita.  I remember watching the gas needle descend.  I remember finally getting to an exit, and driving past countless gas stations with signs that either read "CLOSED" or "NO GAS".  And yes, I remember peeing in a cup.  I remember nightfall and being so tired and so low on gas, that I HAD to pull over and sleep.  That 3-hour-drive took over 20.  So I empathize with those Atlanta and Alabama folks who found themselves stranded on the road, or in Home Depot or in the school gym or job.  I know that feeling of desperation and wanting nothing but to be home safe.

What upsets me most is that most people were stranded because they were a part of a similar mass exodus orchestrated by city and public officials.  These people deemed it necessary that EVERYONE go to work and school that dreadful day and so, off they went because they had families to feed and needed the money or had a job to keep because they would have lost it had they not shown up to work that day or both.

It sickens me that people were forced to put their lives in danger just to stay employed.  This, my friends, is the world we live in.  A world that tells us when to eat, when to sleep, and when to stay warm.  A world that tells us our job is more important than our lives.  A world that constantly teaches us the importance and value of MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME.  Because at the end of the day, no one in his or her right mind would risk his or her life or the lives of their children for a job if they didn't need the money-- NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY LOVED IT OR HOW MUCH IT PAID.  This is how desperate and dependent people have become on jobs.

Go to work or lose your job?

If you or your spouse were faced with this same predicament, would you be able to say "I'm ok with losing my job today."  If not, you need a Plan B.  You need another source of income that DOES NOT require you to put your life in danger.  Something that DOES NOT tell you how much your life is worth with a pathetic paycheck.

 If you are ready to abandon your desperation and dependency on a 9 to 5, I invite you to connect with us on Facebook.  "Like" the Facebook page and interact with it to start building your plan B.  You can also connect with me on Facebook here
