2:31 So partial profits go to kywa dot org. So think you, thank you, Thank you for those who have got a copy than if you have not, please share the word. We keep the entrepreneurship growing. So let's bring in our guest. Welcome Rose Hi div Yes, so happy to be here, so honored and thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to share my journey and inspire others. Yes, you said that, beautifully inspire others because at the end of the day, it's all about impacting others. Without the impact, the as entrepreneurs would not be able to try because at the core of it, most of the entrepreneurs have the why of impacting other people. So I want us to take it a little bit back.

3:28 Do you have any moment or a person in your childhood that left a positive mark on you? Going back to my childhood, I have a special teacher that inspired me and she was my teacher for five years and just her positivity and her encouragement were so infectious that I decided I wanted to be a teacher just from her example. And I have been a teacher several times and I think of her when I when I am teaching and inspiring young kids, because I want to be that impact and I want to be that role model for any kid that I am teaching or my own children. Mmmm. That is very insightful because here's there's so many teachers, and our teachers don't get paid as much, which is I am not going to go into that because I believe, you know, teachers are shaping leaders of tomorrow. And I will tell you, like, you know, talking about kids and all that, when I used to be just a volunteer and all that, and I would see that so many teachers would spend their own money to bring in classroom day to day things that the kids needed. And of course, you know, as part of being the mom's group, we would make sure that you need

4:59 be we're bringing in just a classroom supplies, and that they were not spending money out of their pockets. So as you continued growing up, what were your interests, because since you're an entrepreneur, I'm assuming it didn't become a teacher. Art. Art was actually one of my favorite interests in hobbies, and I recently dove back into art and I've found a very amazing parallel with art and being an entrepreneur, and the foundation of being an artist is practicing the skill and just practice and practice and practice. So my teacher, my mom has been an artist for over fifty years, but I've been hosting twice a year an art workshop with oil painting from doing portraits, and my teacher is just amazing and so just watching over the four days, by the end we have a portrait. But it's all about how we start it and building the strong foundation and not actually getting into the fun and you know, like doing the jewelry or doing the details, which in the world of being an entrepreneur, it's the same thing. We want to get into making all the graphics and doing all the websites and doing all the things. And really the most important is the foundation, which is the skills that we're bringing who we are and how we can impact and serve other people. And that's really the

6:30 foundation that needs to be worked on before we even go out and present what we have to offer and serve to others. Very powerful. So you mentioned that art is parallel to entrepreneurship, so you went into art. Tell us your transition from being an artist into becoming an entrepreneur. Well, watching my mom be an artist, as an artist my whole life. I her way of doing art was more of a meditation, so she would paint for twenty years one painting and it was it's amazing. I mean, it's a masterpiece. But for me, I became I was very impatient as a young kid, so I didn't I did. I did the art and I had fun.

7:18 But I quickly gave up when I saw, you know how long it would take her to do a master piece. So I came back to that, you know, that journey with my teacher that does a masterpiece in one weekend. But how I got to an entrepreneurship is that my mom was a single mother of twins. And if I wanted to buy the fun things and have the fun things, I needed to start making money. So I started at nine year old, nine years old, you know, being a babysitter and all the things. Then at eleven, I was making four fifteen hour working for a woman who's still very important to me this to this day.

8:00 And she became my first business partner, and she taught me everything, you know, how to start a business and how to just go out there and do it. And she was a big inspiration to me, and she still is today. She's still out there being an entrepreneur. And yeah, she's she's an amazing cook, she's an amazing entrepreneur, she's an amazing mother. And so that really inspired me that I could start things that I didn't need to work for someone else and help them build their dreams, that I could work on my own businesses. M So, you mentioned that you started at an early age of nine, So it sounds like the seed of entrepreneurship was splanted in your heart a long time back and has taken road and blossomed into a tree, which is fantastic. So tell us, like, you know, what kind of business do you want? So I've actually this journey of being a coach is actually my twelfth business that I've opened up and launched.

9:07 I've done everything I've had. I had a store in Santa Barbara, California for eight years, which was so much fun because it was like being a kid at Christmas. Every day I would get new toys and new games that I could share with all the children and teach all the grandparents what all the things were. And you know, I've done a lot of smaller businesses for Christmas season or seasonal businesses. I would pitch and sell home and garden products. So I learned a lot from that and then I would find my own products. I've done online businesses, I've done Yeah, I've just tried tried it all. Oh, do you have a favorite out of the businesses that you have run? Definitely the toy store. Just being able to see people and see the faces of the kids every day. You know, their excitement coming into and walking into a toy store. And during that time, it was actually really sad because that was the time where the toys r uss Is closed down and I actually had one in my in the mall, the same mall that I was in that was a little smaller than my store, and so the manager actually I ended up hiring her for my store. And you know, just that feeling of when you're a kid and you can walk in a toy store and just see all the games and toys. I loved providing

10:39 that experience. And also, you know, we had a whole book corner, so kind of like a library. Kids came in and we had story time and just you know, connection with them. So that really brought me a lot of joy. To be there, especially you know in the Christmas season with the Christmas spirit and all all year round. It was really a great, great honor to be there. Sounds like so much fun, and I can see the passion just kind of exoding out of here very being and how you were there. So that said, every business there comes ups and downs, those ebbs and flows. So did you experience those ebbs and flows and what did you learn from them? Oh? Absolutely I was. I am a recovering workaholic, and so I would spend all night re arranging my toys and the books and the puzzles, and it would be five o'clock in the morning and I was like, oh, I guess I got to go to Starbucks to get to get a coffee to keep going. So I have always had that tendency to go to burnout. So I've actually ended up in the hospital four times from and yeah, so that each time was supposed to be the last lesson amongst really my final straw. But yeah, I learned

12:11 that from just being in business, is that when you have so many hats, that to learn how to delegate those to other people instead of trying to do everything yourself. Even if you have better faster. It's always important to respect yourself and to delegate to others. And that is so true because I've been on the brink of borne out a few times myself, and then as I kept on growing my team, I've realized that that having a team bio side because being an ex corporate we used to be surrounded by teams, we had a family. And then when you are an entrepreneur, as you mentioned, we're wearing so many different hats that sometimes you feel I related and alone.

13:00 So rather than doing the journey just yourself, building that team around you and then that can be you know, trading, bartering. It doesn't just have to be everything through investment or time and energy. And when you build that team as you're talking about or delegating it out, it makes life simpler because if you are not doing good, then your business is not going to do good either. Yes, that is so, that is so true. I've seen so many women entrepreneur and that's my passion is to you know, help them see that if they just step back and delegate a little bit out and take care of themselves, that their business can thrive without them. Mm hmm. So, as you were growing your business. You know, some of the things that women face more so than the other gender is that fear of fundnel, overthinking, impostor syndrome. So did you experience any of that and if you did, how did you overcome them to achieve your fear?

14:13 So overcoming your fear and achieval goals? Yes, actually, for sure in this new venture of being a coach, as I've been a coach in my whole career, I've had hundreds of employees, so I've always I've actually paid to coach because I paid my employees and then I coached them. But the moment I took the role of being a coach, I started to overthink, and the impostor syndrome came up, and the overthinking and overanalyzing, and I basically for nine months overthink and did all of the you know, allowed the fear to overtake me. I allowed the impost syndrome to say, no, I can't do it myself, but I can help other people do it.

15:03 And you know, I allowed the fear and to stop me. And then one day I made a decision and I chose to be confident and to believe in myself. And it was from all the knowledge that I had put into myself and invested in myself, and I suddenly felt compelled to help other people. And suddenly the money didn't matter, the titles didn't matter. It just was so clear my path and I didn't know how it was going to happen.

15:46 I completely surrendered, And that was the most magical thing, was to become detached and to be completely surrendered to what was how it was going to manifest, and to just allow it to. And within nine days I had my first hundred K client, which was absolutely miraculous. Well, what I'm hearing is that you created the space, because when you let go of something, you create space for new possibilities, new potentials to unfold. I want to revisit what you said that there was this one day you decided that this was it. So was there anything specific that happened what brought you to that decision? Actually, I was at a picnic with a lot of friends and I heard a lot of the concerns that my friends were sharing, and I just knew that it just clicked to me. In less than twenty four hours after that day, I realized that hey, I can help I can help people. It doesn't matter what the titles, and like I'm saying is I just said, oh my gosh, I can do it. Then once I realized, once I realized I could do it, everything else just fell away, all the reasons and the overthinking and that everything else, I was just

17:17 clear. So yeah, that day was very magical. So it sounds like you saw yourself because so many times what happens is, you know, as coaches, So a lot of my clients will say, oh, how do you know that I can do it? So I tell them that if I don't see that within you, I would not be working with you. And then the next step is that, yes, you see it through my eyes. But then the last step is that you see yourself through your eyes, which what you're describing is that you saw yourself, you saw your potential and you're like, bamn, just that moment think clicked. And that is so powerful and so inspiring because it tells us that then you let go of things, you don't know what the outcome is going to be, and yet just kind of coming into your own. So you also mentioned about your children, So tell us a little bit about that personal journey of my children. Yeah, like, how did you when did you get married and how are you doing as a mom or preneur. So actually, I'm currently a solo mom preneur and that was a very big journey. At the end of last year.

18:40 Well, I was in the hospital in March, and uh, the first thing I thought of was my daughter's Okay, if something happens to me, you know, how am I How am I going to be there? And you know, raise my daughters and be there for my daughters. And at the time, I'm my partner and I were on very different paths and I had done a lot of the blaming and the you know, putting things on him, and I stopped all of that. I started just fully taking responsibility, and I got a coach, and I started working on myself. And then by November, so close to Thanksgiving time, we had a beautiful conversation and now we are happily co parenting. And it was because of all the work that I did on myself and not putting any of the pressure or any of the blame on him. And one day I'll write a book Happily ever after co parenting because it is and that's beautiful because like see think about it, like you know we have this one version of happily ever After.

19:53 It is also important to known that there are multiple different versions of happily ever after. So tell us what brought you to the hospital where you were thinking. So it was the night after my well, the day before was my daughter's fourth birthday, so I was doing I was doing all the things to you know, have a big birthday party. I neglected myself so I didn't drink so much water. I was just go, go, go, go go. And I now, looking back, a big part of that was proving proving to others, Okay, I can do this, I can do everything. And the next morning I woke up and face planted and was in the hospital for four days. And so now my mantra, now my mantra is to myself that I say and I encourage every woman to take it on is from Nissa Usa Nichols is. I have nothing to prove, I have nothing to protect, I have nothing to hide, and I have nothing to defend, you know, So I got really clear that you know what other people I you know, instead of trying to prove to them, I'm just here to serve and to be myself, and the less I worry about how I'm impacting or you know, if I'm trying to prove myself. It all

21:27 depends on where it's coming from. If I'm trying to fire people, then you know, all I need to do is serve. But if I'm trying to coming from a place of oh, I need to prove that I've got this or that I can do this as a mom, as a solo mom, as a you know, business entrepreneur, if I'm if I'm coming from that place, then it's just chaos and it's not serving anyone. M H. And thank you for sharing your personal story, because what happens is when we share our vulnerabilities, other people will connect with it and we all have those days. We all have those moments in lives. It's the way I look at it is it's every single day we fall and we rise. The whole thing is knowing that mere human beings and we are perfectly imperfect, and it's perfectly okay to be imperfect. It's about not about the failure and falling down. It's about how many times you rise and continue and not giving up.

22:37 So tell us more about like you know you were mentioning, like you know, happy printing. That is awesome. You brought that harmony back into your life because that impacts children too. So how are your daughters doing and how are are you teaching them some entrepreneurship. I there right now a little young. My youngest is two and a half and my goal is five and it's never too young, So I actually I do want to teach the skills that are necessary for being an entrepreneur. So my older daughter wants to sing on stage, and I want to encourage that because speaking is such a powerful, powerful tool and skill to have. You know, that's how we can inspire others, whether it's through singing or talking or doing courses or teaching or whatever role you play in life. So my goal is to really teach them those skills that are not maybe in schools these days, and those skills can be applied in any whichever way they decide to go in life. And I'm going one hundred percent support them, you know, in finding their deep purpose and teaching them by example by showing them that I'm doing. Absolutely, you are their role model because as you mentioned, not only you're bringing that harmony

24:10 in your personal life, finding that work life harmony along with living entrepreneurship. So tell us about your journey as you made this decision. Yep, I can help other women to lending your first one K client. So it was a very very intense journey because I got the system in place about nine months ago, and then my father passed away, so kind of my world crumbled. So sorry to hear about that. Sorry for your loss, thank you, and through I actually met a new person from him after as he was passing away, I was reading all of his scripts that he'd written. He was an amazing seeing scriptwrit I mean he could he could quote Shakespeare and uh just make everyone like put their jaws to the floor because he was obviously very elderly and he would still move people with his words. And I gained a whole other side of him. I really feel like I gained more after he is gone. Now I have more than when he's here, because I didn't even have all of his h and now I have songs from him and things that at him. So we never listened to. So so that was a very very delicate time in my life of just putting putting those pieces back.

25:47 And then right after that, my my relationship was was ending and I needed to move out on my own. So I actually took a teaching job. I took a cheat job because that was the only way to get my two kids into daycare. And I felt, Okay, I can serve here. I always loved teaching. I've taught here and there as a teacher, you know, art, or I've taught online before to children. And so I started working forty hours a week in a daycare. And I learned so much from having those toddlers. Oh my goodness, that was. If I didn't have that piece, I feel like all of the other pieces wouldn't have lined up. You know. I had the system of how to get a hundred K client, and then by working in this daycare, I learned just unconditional love. And also the other side is brute honesty. The toddlers have nothing to hide. They they live my mantra every day, nothing to hide, nothing to prove they are who they are. And so I learned so much.

27:07 And I went into that job with that mindset that, hey, I have something to learn even from two year olds. And you know, of course I learned from my daughters every day, but having you know, seventeen two year olds was a whole nother world. So well, you know, I'll say that children are the biggest teachers that you can have, absolutely, so I learned so much from them, and you know, so I continued to work on that, you know, full time, and my energy was it was a lot, and so I was building up my my focus on my career on the side. And then I knew when I was ready, I had learned all the lessons that I had needed to learn, and then I just dove in and I had some people around me that were not encouraging at all, and that was really hard for It was really hard for me when people that I felt I could open up and share this excitement with were fearful for me. And that fear came across as you know, judging me for taking this leap and saying, you know, kind of making me feel like, oh my gosh, what are you doing. It's that's a crazy thing to quit your quit your full time job and go into being an entrepreneur.

28:40 And actually that's when I wrote down how many businesses I had had and how many successes I'd had, and really I only had one failure, which I think all the mistakes and failures that you learn as an entrepreneur is gold. That's that's really how you succeed. And so I realized that even when you are doing something, taking those steps and taking those big, big risks as an entrepreneur, sometimes the people around you aren't able to see the same vision and they're not able to support you as we would hope or like. And still I was able to understand that it was coming from a place of care and concern, and so I took those steps, and you know, now I have the success and I am able to share that in a more in a very beautiful way and very humble way with them. That's very beautiful laced with humility. So tell us a little bit about your system and tell us how did you get one hundred K client? Because I'm sure the entrepreneurs and our audience are just hanging onto their seats wanting to know and how they

30:10 could get their first one hundred K client and what what the learnings along the way. So again kind of what I've been saying, the biggest the biggest lesson I would say to getting a hundred K client is again within ourselves. It's to simplify all the things that we're doing and to focus on our goal. If our goal is to have one hundred K client, then what else are we doing throughout our day and how is that serving our goal? And you know, again back to the foundations of just building building up within ourselves.

30:51 I would say the two things that served me in that way was having a system that I learned it was now I've put it together in a workshop because going through my experience I did add a lot of overthinking and so I have tweaked and come up with my own version of the workshop. But really the key elements are to simplify, simplify your life, to raise your consciousness. So to look at all the things that you're eating, because we are who we eat. To look at all the things that we are consuming on a daily basis. Are we consuming social media? Are we consuming you know, skills that are going to help us towards our goal. So the number one thing I would say to getting your one hundred K client is making that clear decision and going all in if you are completely clear and surrendered to everything else. And again, you know, the how we want to focus on how do you get the client? How do you get that client? And that is the wrong question. We should be answer asking, it's who do you need to be to serve the client at at that level? And that is the question that you need to go deep within yourself and see what is

32:22 my service? What is my purpose? How can I bring that to my client? And that's what I really really clear on, was who I am and how I can be of service. And as soon as I was able to see that, nothing would stop me. Now now I knew, hey, I even if you know when I when I found my client, it was just it was just like that spark was there and both of us just got it. And now just so grateful for each other because we are bringing so much positivity and I'm learning from her even though I'm her coach. But she, you know, she thanks me every day, and I thank her because we are building something amazing together. I'm able to support and serve her in her business and her journey and her life. And you know, she gave me that first that first yes, which is always the hardest to get one person to believe in you, and especially on this level, because it it does it is easy to stay in the impostor syndrome and say, oh my gosh, do I have enough to provide this much of value and so yeah, now you hit a very key point there. It's about, oh,

33:52 you need to become to serve your time, because then you see your value on ramatically will be able to provide that value to others and then the rest happens on its own. So tell us where can our audience connect with you? Where can they find you? I'm actually barely on social media, but LinkedIn is the best place to reach me. That then I'm happy to connect and have a conversation you know, on my calendar with anyone and just see where they are. And my favorite thing is to connect with women, so I'm very open to chatting and to connecting with them and just seeing where they are. Well, thank you so much. Rules. Do you have any last tips or any last wisdom boards that you want to share with our audience? I yeah, I would say, but in yourself and kind of like the just just do it Nike slogan instead instead just be it. Be the person that you want to coach. Just as as you know your ideal client is most likely you twenty years ago, that person that you were, that you've overcome all those obstacles, look and see who is struggling with the

35:25 problems that you had and just go help them. And that's that's the best way to start, is to just helping and serving without any agenda and just you know, seeing seeing what your purpose and in this life is beautiful.
