From Poverty to Wealth: Confessions of a Struggling Single Mom
After a little hiatus of being a podcast host and focusing more on being an editor, saleswoman, CEO, and most importantly a mom, I'm back and ready to start sharing again. Ready to start giving you as much value as I possibly can each and every week.
So, in this episode, I wanted to share a memo I found that I recorded back in May of 2020. You see, this story is not about all the success that my company has had over the last 12 months; instead, it is about where I was back then. It is real and raw and I just had to share it with you.
"I was living according to American standards, right at, or below the poverty line as I learned how to build a business. And that year--2020--I built a six-figure business. Now, I didn't take home six figures. I built a business that generated six figures."
Things were not easy as I began my journey. Like the widow in scripture (2 Kings 4, NIV), I learned to "go and sell."
Here's the full story:
"The wife of the man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha your servant. My husband is dead and you know that he revered the Lord, but now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves, Elisha replied to her, how can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house? Your servant has nothing there at all."
She said, except a small jar of olive oil. Elijah said, go around and ask all of your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few, then go inside and shut the door behind you and your. Pour oil into all the jars. And as each is filled, put it to one side. She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons.
They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring when all the jars were full, she said to her son, bring me another one. But he replied, there is not a jar left. Then the oil stopped flowing. She went and told the man of God and he said, "Sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left."
There is hope in this story for all of us and I know that I can sell and I know that those of you listening have the power to sell and that we can all live the way we are meant to.
Thank you so much for listening and I will see you on the next episode!
