Just Keep Going! Don’t Stop!

Never allow someone to try and sway what you feel is right for you. Do you! Keep going.
I once had a coach tell me that I wouldn’t get anywhere in my business because I wasn’t willing to “invest” in myself. This was at a point when I literally was negative in my bank account trying to make ends meet. I was a stay at home mom taking care of a special needs baby. I couldn’t get a “real” job because daycare would be more than I would make. I needed to make my side hustle work. But I needed help. She said, if I wanted it bad enough I would find the money to invest. Where exactly? My credit cards were maxed. I had already spent our next paycheck on bills. I just needed someone to believe in me and give me a chance.
That conversation left a bad taste in my mouth. I was determined to get my business going so I decided to figure it all out. And I did. But it was fucking hard. Like multiple times sitting in front of my computer ugly crying kinda hard
But, I was intent to see it through. Everything else in my life I quit when things got tough and this time I refused. I needed to figure it all out on my own. I had looked at my bank account and felt sick one too many times. And Jesus, I knew I was meant for more!!
However, once I had the money to “invest” in myself I started to look for another coach. I wanted to stretch myself. I wanted more. This coach happily explained that if I wanted to “uplevel” my business I needed to be in a mastermind, which included traveling to meet with the mastermind for various weekends. I asked if I could bring my daughter. Silence. That was a big no And she thought it was sad I was held back from doing something so important because of my child. This angered me. I shouldn’t have to choose between my work and my child. And I certainly was not sad. After all, my little girl was a miracle literally brought back from near death when she was born. I would always happily choose her.
And don’t get me wrong, I do understand that women sign up for masterminds, etc, and don’t want a baby around while they are learning. It’s completely understandable. But, I was not ready to leave my baby and I’m still not. And I’ve been able to uplevel my business without doing so.
This is why I decided to start this part of my entrepreneurial endeavor. I felt this very strong need to go back to my business and marketing roots, so I could offer help to moms who are just like I was. Desperately wanting to start and run businesses, so they could have more money and more freedom but no clue how to get it done.
The moms who sit and stare at their computers or phones for hours trying to figure out how to connect a funnel or run a Facebook ad without wasting money. The mom is exhausted from her baby not sleeping and just needs someone to show her the way.
I recently had a conversation with a good coach friend who now charges $1000s for her programs. She thinks it’s nuts I charge so little for mine. But here’s what I think, everyone needs to let their passion push them to where they need to go. I think it’s great that she, along with many others, charge large amounts for their programs. I really do. And the people that buy from them need them and their programs. That is what they should be offering and I do think it’s awesome.
But for me, I want to make it accessible to as many moms as I possibly can. My goal is to help 1000s of moms change their lives and succeed because I know that sinking feeling of needing a program and needing someone to help, but not having a pot to pee in.
And I only say all of this because I truly believe there is no one right way for all of us. There really isn’t. What works for one person may not be suitable for another. There is no one right way in business. And that’s OK!!! We all have something unique and special to give this planet we walk on. Do not let anyone tell you that you can’t be something or that you must do something that you don’t want to. Find another way. But whatever you do, just keep going
