well i am here with my friend linda may myers we are about to get crack-a-lackin uh what were
what we called this today was how to run like a successful we didn't put like in the title but how
to run a successful home-based business or what a successful home-based business looks like and so
what better person to bring on than one of my students that's doing all of the things
and is really gaining some serious traction relatively quickly i mean a lot of times
you guys it takes people three to five years to gain traction in their business okay so whenever
whenever you're in a group of people where it's just like boom boom boom boom boom
it's good to know what's going on in there and uh and what they're doing right so
ah thank you for being here linda i appreciate it thank you for inviting me oh my god so do you
want to let people know what it was like before before we came into contact like you were already
building a business you were already you know you had an entrepreneurial spirit already what was
going on in your home-based business at that point um well i was running from who i really was i mean
and to be honest let's call it the way it is is i so way way before um i came into your world
the martha verse um i learned an early age that i was attracted to like the idea of business and
entrepreneurial and money because that's what i do i i coach money um but early on i came astutely
aware of how that can be frowned upon and like any good people-pleasing person would do old me
i pivoted i looked for well what else could we do and i went down many many rabbit holes
and avoided that whole that grossness and then you know through a lot of the mindset worth and
um just identifying okay who do i belong to what desires has he placed on my heart
and just stepping into that i've been able to walk the path that i feel like i knew
eons ago but instead i took the long route because that's what we do we often take the long route but
god is good and he uses his bunny trails so there it is there it is so i have head to toe
goosebumps right now by the way so um i just love when people speak their truth and this is what it
is because there are so many people stuck in the beginning part of that path and they're just like
but i don't know and then like their their life all of a sudden just looks really confusing
right my heart tells me to go here but society and everybody's expectations tells me here and
so what what was one of the first i just want to really dig into this piece of it so what was one
of the first things that you heard whenever you know when you were hearing the pushback and you
decided you needed to go a different direction or you needed to do that pivot what was one of those
monumental things that sticks in your mind that was you know one of the catalysts for pivoting
pivoting the right direction or pivoting the wrong direction
it was complete guilt and you know we you talk about how society and these externals
but then we take them on as our own so even in the quiet times even alone times even the
times that i had my family my husband and my children supporting me it was that voice that
inner voice that i was allowing to dictate the steps you know oh you shouldn't be doing that
you should be focusing on your children which i do i love my children school but identifying that
you can do both and it's possible um because the other thing that and the other pivots
the good pivot is the um the mindset shift of hustle of um and that was one of the things that i
attracted me to you is because i felt like if i'm gonna do this i have to hustle and that hustle
was where it was hitting up with that guilt and as soon as i could let go of that hustle
i was like okay i can do this because i don't need to give my all to this thing over here i can
still give my all to my children and my husband um and still be able to work with other people yeah
well the interesting thing whenever you do it and you're experiencing it now is you can give
your all to your family to your children to your community because of this other thing right like
it's it's what allows us to give give our all to our family and that's people don't understand that
it actually unlocks it and the whole hustle i mean don't even i told you i was not going to take a
soapbox today and then you said muscle but hustle i cannot handle hustle you guys like i can't
it destroys well-meaning entrepreneurs that could really do some awesome stuff in this world
hustle is just man toxic waste hustle hustle can lead to success but what hustle always leads to is
burnout there it is yeah it'll be short-lived success if it's success and it's not going to
be sustainable success so that's the whenever you know if you hustled and you found success
it's not it's not sustainable right because of the burnout and it's not is that how you want
to succeed i mean by forgetting about your family and your kids and all of a sudden they're getting
taller and you're like oh my gosh what happened and then the last year was a blur and you're like
what even happened in this year like a whole honking year right oh yeah i've experienced it
yeah it's ugly both of my kids are taller than me so you say taller i'm like yeah
and i have one graduating this year that's like and so i'm able to operate a functional
successful business and still spend those last moments with her as we go through finish her home
school journey and i'm setting that example for her not to hustle but yes you can do the things
you want to do because she is also an entrepreneur you know she runs her own business and she's
learning to juggle you know and to balance i love it i love it so whenever you came into my stuff
um what was i mean i know that like the hustle was a was a big thing what were some of the key like
differences um based on because i imagine you followed other people before but then whenever you
came into my stuff obviously i'm very different than anybody else out there so what were some of
the key differences that allowed you to really become successful what would you say those were
the first thing is that you encouraged us to be us plain and simple because you're right you know i
have um i've had two successes with multi-level marketing companies but then i burned out right
and so um but they were all about being duplicatable and to that extent there is there
is fact there is value in that um but not to the point that you lose who you are and the message
that you have to offer you know who you were created to be um you know i spend most of my time
working with people and money and it's never about you know just the finances it's always about who
you are created to be and the choices you make you know um so that was the biggest thing is because
that was the freedom that i thought like oh i don't have to be super whatever company girl i can
be me yes you know and it also gave me the courage to say i'm more than just that and it's okay that
i start a business and that it's a for-profit business and that i can help people with that
um so i love it i love it well what are you what are you excited so the different let's just say
what are the different things that you're in of mine you're in like everything aren't you i am in
everything because everything you know me i won't miss a thing yeah every workshop that comes up
she like tries to pay for it twice i think it's like i've done that i have done that
i was like wait i already bought this because i buy i bought it when it
came out i'm like oh i want that and then you're like oh don't miss it i don't wait
i love how many times that happens with people they always email us they're like am i in this
like why am i seeing this um so in hbr you guys like just to explain that's the real meat
and potatoes like that's the it's you know the signature program it's the thing that's showing
people literally how to create these multiple income streams from home
and a lot of that sounds like oh you know i don't know buzzwordy but really at the end
of the day what it is is it's allowing us to truly be who we are and to be able to monetize
our our passion and our support for our people in a way that isn't sleazy that isn't weird and also
is an off-putting to our people like it's not it's it's a totally graceful way to do things
and you guys it's it's what we need to be doing like real talk it's what we need to be doing right
now because we need to be getting our houses in order period like we don't know what's coming
and you need to be in control of your family and of your finances and of knowing what's going on
in your world and the creation of income for yourself so you're not at the mercy of anybody
else that would have you do things that maybe you don't want to do in order to make your income guys
like real talk this is what we have to be doing go ahead yeah my husband's a police officer so
you know we've already had rumors of mandates and doing things and what that's going to mean for us
and we so he was talking about that and he's been on the force over 20 years so
he could retire but kids mortgage so um and we're having this conversation he looked some years or
you can just spend more time in your business like he's just like this is a conversation like yeah or
you know what if i stay home and you just take care of it i was like you want to home school
the children your son yeah you can do this um but with in regards to hbr like i just i feel like
you can talk about hbr until you're blue in the face of all the things it does for
people but i feel like you don't get it until you're in it um like the education the modules
are jam-packed of all the information but the secret sauce is the group coaching and i'll be
honest i was the first person to be like i don't know if i want this group coaching thing but
everybody thinks group coaching is crap everyone thinks that until they're actually in it well
and i was also the person who didn't think i needed mindset stuff so there's that but it's like
yeah so hbr set me straight like that's that that's the god's honest truth but
i mean to the point that like legitimately the program that my signature program that i offer
i start with mindset and i offer group coaching because it is the secret sauce it's the community
it's the support it's that you know how many times has someone come on to a group coaching call and
be like i'm back i've i've been out you know this happened my family or whatever and so i love the
model that you have like you're one and done like you buy it you're in and that allows that that
prodigal son to return so to speak but that's a feeling you get like everybody's like welcome
back like yeah and they're there to support you just like you never left or or whatever so that
is yeah that's a secret sauce that's thank you so much again with the goosebumps that's
our our focus and i think you can hear it through what she's saying our focus is the person right
our focus is you our focus is your family our focus isn't trying to fleece dollars out of people
because we could charge monthly for our stuff if we wanted to but that's not what we do it's like
you pay once and you're in for life for whatever you go through whatever questions you have at
scale you're going to have more questions than you than you do in the beginning and i've been
through all of it so i'm i'm still able to help at all levels so that's it's we're focused on you
and your family and that's that's what drives us and that's what that's i mean thank you for saying
that i appreciate that yeah and the group coaching answers questions you didn't know you had yep
like i'll go in like i don't know if i need to be on today i'll just be on and then you
either end up pouring into someone else or you have a list of things to do when you get off
and you're like wait what just happened which has happened also now i need to do this
well you guys i i want you uh linda i want you to tell people about what you're doing
like what are you offering and then also tell them about you probably have a group
that they can go into to be able to get some extra help from you let them know what that is
yeah so um i have a free group on facebook it is healthy wealth and wise a faith-based journey to
do more give more and serve more so my heart is about helping people you know i i call it that
that pew moment where you're sitting in the pew at church and you know there is a need presented
or an opportunity presented to go serve and help and you're like oh i really wish i could do more
i really wish i could go and then you're like but i can't so you do what you can you chase and
you say someday someday i'll be able to give more someday i'll be able to go do that someday and so
my passion is to help bring that someday closer and to get on that path and make sunday sooner
um so we talk mostly about finances and just how to get those under wraps um we dive a little bit
into the and you know the income streams we pass you on the martha because she's the queen of that
um and then we also talk a little about just taking care of ourselves and our
connection with our creator and balancing family so that's kind of what we do there
