“You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.” Nightbird (Jane Marczewski)

Funny thing about debt. Everyone has an opinion on it. Everyone has advice. Everyone suddenly becomes a financial expert. But when you’re actually in it, the people you listen to aren’t the ones bragging about their money moves. It’s the ones who care enough to understand how heavy it feels. 🤔 The shame. The pressure. The way it can mess with your confidence.Care cuts through all of that. 💛 So if you’re guiding people through tough money seasons, remember this. They don’t need a genius. They need someone who sees them. Who’s the person who helped you through your hardest financial moment?

One thing I know is that everyone has individual experiences, passed down tips and tricks from their great-grandmother. You may even have found a better way to get something done. That's your offer for OfferLab. Create a miniature course, an ebook, or one-on-one meetings. The first step is to write down your thoughts. Get your information down on paper or a Word document. The funnel building, CRM, and other software can come later. Ask for help. This community is terrific for that. Let us all help inspire one another.

I once hired a local junk removal service run by a self-employed veteran. Younger than me, but full of wisdom. He told me: "There are countless ways to make money—most of them aren't taught in school." Do them all. Start with the one you know the most about first. You could utilize carpenter skills for video shorts on TikTok as a lead magnet. Barber? You could do a video series teaching the basics of cutting your child's hair and saving money. My grandmother would cut my hair when I would visit. Home-schooled groups. All kinds of possibilities.
