In this episode of the Call to Lead podcast, I made an executive decision to veer off our scheduled program to share my personal journey from being deep in debt to achieving financial freedom. Last week, I introduced the first part of a series about the three biggest things holding you back in your business, starting with your mindset around money. A listener's inquiry inspired me to delve deeper into this topic by revisiting an old episode where I detailed my exact money breakdown and recommended strategies for direct sales success. I shared not only my financial framework but also the layers of my personal testimony, explaining how I partnered with my husband and applied biblical principles to get out of debt. This episode includes valuable insights on managing your money as a small business owner, planning on your average income, and dividing your income into percentages to ensure sustainable financial growth.
