business models and opportunities that you

we are helping other people utilize

that are high profit and low stress.

12

: 00:00:50

Let's get started.

13

: 00:00:51

Intro: A fast growing number

of parents are starting their

14

: 00:00:54

homeschooling journey while others

have been homeschooling for years.

15

: 00:00:58

All of these parents are asking one big

question, how can I afford to homeschool?

16

: 00:01:03

We are here to answer that

important question once and for all.

17

: 00:01:06

Hi, I'm Crystal Obby.

18

: 00:01:08

And I'm Anthony Obby.

19

: 00:01:09

We've been homeschooling our five

kids for 13 years and we funded it.

20

: 00:01:14

Through our online consulting business

that we've been running for over 17

21

: 00:01:19

years now, we're combining Crystal's

financial coaching expertise with my

22

: 00:01:24

digital marketing background where I help

entrepreneurs launch and sell online.

23

: 00:01:29

We're here to help fellow homeschooling

parents self-fund their homeschool

24

: 00:01:34

journey and create lifestyle businesses.

25

: 00:01:37

For financial freedom without a nine to

five job, are you ready to start living

26

: 00:01:42

life on your own terms and make your

homeschooling experience a lot more fun?

27

: 00:01:46

Well then sit back, crank up

the volume, and enjoy this

28

: 00:01:50

episode of Homeschool Money.

29

: 00:01:55

Welcome to the show, crystal

Obie here, Anthony Obie.

30

: 00:01:58

Here in this episode of Homeschool Money,

we're gonna talk about some very relevant

31

: 00:02:03

ways that we and other real homeschool

parents, moms and dads, are making money.

32

: 00:02:09

In this episode in particular, we're

gonna talk about how you can start

33

: 00:02:13

monetizing your homeschool experience.

34

: 00:02:16

Now the reason why this conversation

is so important to every homeschooling

35

: 00:02:22

parent across the country is

because homeschooling families, we

36

: 00:02:26

feel like sacrifice a lot to take

the education of their children.

37

: 00:02:32

In homeschooling parents are

usually very intentional parents.

38

: 00:02:36

Who take their roles

as homeschool parents?

39

: 00:02:39

Seriously.

40

: 00:02:41

We personally feel like parenting

our children well and homeschooling

41

: 00:02:45

them is a calling from God.

42

: 00:02:48

Many parents don't know how to take

their skills and gifts that they use

43

: 00:02:52

every single day while homeschooling

to create an income in the marketplace.

44

: 00:02:59

And so that's why we want to talk

about this topic because we want to.

45

: 00:03:03

Help you with that mind mindset shift,

and we want to encourage you to see the

46

: 00:03:11

opportunities that could be lying in your

own backyard and easy for you to implement

47

: 00:03:17

with just a little bit of encouragement.

48

: 00:03:19

Yeah, the big thing that we

always see is that there's two

49

: 00:03:22

things that hold people back.

50

: 00:03:24

One is their confidence in

homeschooling their kids.

51

: 00:03:28

So whenever they find out about

the opportunity to homeschool,

52

: 00:03:31

they don't know if they can do it.

53

: 00:03:32

So they spend a lot of

time and a lot of energy.

54

: 00:03:35

Trying to figure out if they're

qualified to even be able to be

55

: 00:03:38

their child's, you know, educator.

56

: 00:03:40

And so we always end up having

to work with people like that.

57

: 00:03:43

But then also the homeschool money

conversation is after they've realized

58

: 00:03:48

that they, yes, they can be the educator.

59

: 00:03:51

They wanna know how they can afford

to pay for it, and then they're

60

: 00:03:54

not confident in how to do that.

61

: 00:03:56

And.

62

: 00:03:57

What we've seen is that whenever they

understand that their, in, that their

63

: 00:04:01

experience as a homeschool parent can

actually transfer over and they can

64

: 00:04:05

actually get that dual credit just like

we get for college and high school.

65

: 00:04:10

They can get dual credit for

homeschooling and doing a business.

66

: 00:04:15

And so some of the skills that

you use as a homeschooling parent.

67

: 00:04:18

They can help you start, launch and

grow a successful business or like

68

: 00:04:23

laying right there at your feet.

69

: 00:04:24

Yeah, you're right.

70

: 00:04:25

So it's like crystal the, the same

skills that you're utilizing to

71

: 00:04:30

think through and plan and execute

on homeschooling your children.

72

: 00:04:35

Well, those are the same skills.

73

: 00:04:37

That it takes to start a good,

a solid business for yourself?

74

: 00:04:41

Yeah.

75

: 00:04:41

So like the first skill is research.

76

: 00:04:43

Like you research to come

up with a business idea.

77

: 00:04:46

And we know in homeschooling

you have to research all the

78

: 00:04:49

homeschool options and then choose

the one, the one that will fit.

79

: 00:04:52

And so when people come to us and talk

about how am I gonna make an income,

80

: 00:04:56

what business should I choose, we go

through the same type of process you

81

: 00:04:59

would go through and picking out a

curriculum, you know, for your child.

82

: 00:05:03

Yeah.

83

: 00:05:03

The, the first step to

building your business.

84

: 00:05:06

Is researching researching product

sourcing the right product,

85

: 00:05:10

sourcing the the right vendors

for every step of the lifecycle.

86

: 00:05:15

Of your business.

87

: 00:05:15

And so you, you're right that, that,

that that skill of research for

88

: 00:05:20

homeschool is the same skill that

you'll, the same muscle that you're

89

: 00:05:23

gonna exercise in order to plan and

re research all of the steps in the

90

: 00:05:28

process of executing on your business.

91

: 00:05:30

Yeah.

92

: 00:05:31

And the next skill is.

93

: 00:05:32

Planning for business success.

94

: 00:05:34

I mean, there's so many different

things you need to plan when

95

: 00:05:37

you're gonna operate a business.

96

: 00:05:38

You're gonna plan, you know, the,

of, of course the financials.

97

: 00:05:41

You know, you're gonna plan, you know,

the schedules, you're gonna plan the

98

: 00:05:43

team, you're gonna plan just all the,

you know, the promotions and marketing.

99

: 00:05:48

I mean, just, there's so much

planning that goes into being.

100

: 00:05:51

A successful business.

101

: 00:05:52

And of course when you're

homeschooling, you plan the school

102

: 00:05:55

year like each year one at a time.

103

: 00:05:58

But you also plan from like birth

all the way through college.

104

: 00:06:01

That's right.

105

: 00:06:02

I mean, we are doing

some serious forecasting.

106

: 00:06:05

We're at, when you have a

baby, you're sitting here like.

107

: 00:06:08

You know, what, what, what program

are we gonna do for, you know, their

108

: 00:06:10

young years, their middle years, their

upper years, and how is this gonna

109

: 00:06:13

play out into their, the marketplace?

110

: 00:06:16

We are the, like, having those

conversations all the time.

111

: 00:06:19

Yeah.

112

: 00:06:19

I, I know that you know, you and I have

been having those conversations and I'm

113

: 00:06:23

sure some other homeschooling parents.

114

: 00:06:25

Have been having those

conversations that long.

115

: 00:06:27

It's probably not probably not all.

116

: 00:06:30

But we're certainly long-term thinkers

and so before we even had our kids,

117

: 00:06:34

we knew and made that decision.

118

: 00:06:36

You know, you knew that you wanted to

homeschool since, you know, you read that

119

: 00:06:41

that pa that that story, that article.

120

: 00:06:43

In a magazine, Tom

Magazine in high school.

121

: 00:06:46

Yeah.

122

: 00:06:46

Right.

123

: 00:06:47

And so whenever we first met you, you

already knew you wanted to homeschool.

124

: 00:06:50

Yeah.

125

: 00:06:51

So we were planning before we had kids.

126

: 00:06:53

To homeschool, and then we have the kids,

we're planning their education based

127

: 00:06:58

on where we want them to be able to end

up for the outcomes at 18 years old.

128

: 00:07:03

Mm-hmm.

129

: 00:07:03

And so homeschooling just requires

a lot of planning and that is

130

: 00:07:07

always a great skill to have

whenever you're running a business.

131

: 00:07:10

That's right.

132

: 00:07:11

And so the next skill is the

ability to be able to start

133

: 00:07:15

even when you don't feel ready.

134

: 00:07:17

I mean, just classic entrepreneurship.

135

: 00:07:20

I mean, you have to start teaching

with what you have and pull in new

136

: 00:07:24

resources on a continual basis.

137

: 00:07:26

I mean, what homeschool family actually

feels a hundred percent ready, because as

138

: 00:07:30

soon as you think you're ready, there's

new curriculums, there's new programs.

139

: 00:07:34

There's just so many different variables.

140

: 00:07:35

Variables that change in life to

where you have to continually.

141

: 00:07:39

Just keep going.

142

: 00:07:40

'cause the school year

is gonna keep going.

143

: 00:07:42

You know, the kids are getting older.

144

: 00:07:43

You, you don't get five years to plan.

145

: 00:07:45

That's right.

146

: 00:07:45

The kids are getting older by the day and

you need to go ahead and make a decision.

147

: 00:07:50

And so you're constantly having

to just keep going, start and just

148

: 00:07:54

find the strength that you have to

be able to do what you need to do.

149

: 00:07:59

That's right.

150

: 00:07:59

We can't be paralyzed

by paralysis analysis.

151

: 00:08:02

Exactly.

152

: 00:08:03

You know, at, at some point.

153

: 00:08:04

And that's hard, especially

for perfectionist, right.

154

: 00:08:07

To, to stop, you know creating

idealistic, you know castles in the sky.

155

: 00:08:14

And, and, and actually just get in the

game and, and get, get your hands dirty.

156

: 00:08:18

That's what happens with

so many entrepreneurs.

157

: 00:08:20

That's right.

158

: 00:08:20

I mean, they wanna get in

business, but you know, they

159

: 00:08:22

just gotta pull the trigger.

160

: 00:08:23

Exactly.

161

: 00:08:24

And, and learn, you know,

while you're on the job.

162

: 00:08:26

Right.

163

: 00:08:27

E exactly.

164

: 00:08:27

And so.

165

: 00:08:28

If you have actually stepped out

and started homeschooling, then you

166

: 00:08:33

have obviously some sort of ideal in

your, in your mind of like how you

167

: 00:08:38

want your children to grow up, how

you want parents, how you, you know,

168

: 00:08:42

what you want to be as a parent and

how you want to shape your children's

169

: 00:08:47

childhood and their worldview and, you

know, all of those types of things.

170

: 00:08:51

And so you have this picture

of what you want for them.

171

: 00:08:55

As they grow.

172

: 00:08:56

And you know, that's but you

realize that it's not perfect.

173

: 00:08:59

You know, you're not a perfect parent.

174

: 00:09:01

Your children aren't perfect.

175

: 00:09:02

Homeschooling schedules

and days are not perfect.

176

: 00:09:05

Our business mentor always said

and taught success is messy.

177

: 00:09:09

Mm-hmm.

178

: 00:09:10

And so, so is homeschooling,

so is parenting.

179

: 00:09:13

And guess what?

180

: 00:09:13

So is business.

181

: 00:09:16

And so if you're able to

jump in there and homeschool.

182

: 00:09:20

Guess what?

183

: 00:09:20

You can do the same thing in business.

184

: 00:09:22

Jump out there, be willing to make

your plan, your perfect plan on

185

: 00:09:26

paper, but then get off the fence,

jump in the game and get going,

186

: 00:09:31

and you can figure out everything.

187

: 00:09:33

That's right.

188

: 00:09:33

Everything is figureoutable, right?

189

: 00:09:35

That's right.

190

: 00:09:36

That's right.

191

: 00:09:38

196

They'll be glad you did.

197

: 00:09:58

Now, back to the show.

198

: 00:10:02

The next thing is pivoting.

199

: 00:10:04

I mean, how many entrepreneurs

haven't heard that word?

200

: 00:10:07

You know, I mean, you need to give, you

know, sear that in your brain, you know?

201

: 00:10:11

That's right.

202

: 00:10:11

Everyone has bought curriculum

as a homeschool parent.

203

: 00:10:15

And or signed up for classes that

didn't work out or, you know,

204

: 00:10:18

just didn't meet the expectations.

205

: 00:10:19

Not that that necessarily, that they were

not good, but just maybe life changed or

206

: 00:10:24

situations changed or just the curriculum

didn't end up being what you expected.

207

: 00:10:28

And so you have to just reevaluate

and change course while still staying

208

: 00:10:32

on track with the educational goals.

209

: 00:10:34

So you have to like, get rid

of the curriculum, find a new

210

: 00:10:37

curriculum, and then implement it

so that your kids stay on track.

211

: 00:10:40

I mean, you know, I'm telling you,

if you are not an entrepreneur

212

: 00:10:43

to entrepreneur, when you start

homeschooling, it will turn you into one.

213

: 00:10:46

That's right.

214

: 00:10:46

'cause of all these skills, I mean,

you see how they're just stacking up?

215

: 00:10:50

Mm-hmm.

216

: 00:10:50

Yeah.

217

: 00:10:50

Oh yeah.

218

: 00:10:51

Absolutely.

219

: 00:10:52

To be a homeschooling.

220

: 00:10:53

Parent that, that for a lot of

people, I feel like that are

221

: 00:10:56

coming into homeschooling now,

it's, it's a pivot situation.

222

: 00:10:59

It is, yeah.

223

: 00:11:00

They maybe planned on, you know,

this school system or whatever,

224

: 00:11:03

private schooling or public schooling

or whatever but then pull their

225

: 00:11:06

kids out because of this or that.

226

: 00:11:08

Now, of course, we, you know,

planned it from from the

227

: 00:11:10

beginning, many, many years ago.

228

: 00:11:12

But now you have all these different

factors and everything, the

229

: 00:11:14

reasons that, that bring about the

reasons why people want to opt for

230

: 00:11:18

homeschooling instead of continuing on.

231

: 00:11:20

With public schooling.

232

: 00:11:23

And so for many parents today,

that is a, a classic pivot.

233

: 00:11:27

Yeah.

234

: 00:11:27

And expand with their careers as well.

235

: 00:11:29

Yeah.

236

: 00:11:29

Because with people like us

who plan for it, you know.

237

: 00:11:32

A lot of the parents coming in, now

they're having to pivot their careers

238

: 00:11:35

or having to, you know, that's right.

239

: 00:11:36

It's not just, you know,

a good thing to do.

240

: 00:11:38

It's, it's the only way That's right.

241

: 00:11:40

To even be able to homeschool so well, and

that's what homeschool money is here for.

242

: 00:11:44

Exactly.

243

: 00:11:44

That's exactly why we our, that's

exactly why we're, we created this show.

244

: 00:11:48

Exactly.

245

: 00:11:49

That's to help everyone think

through that transition.

246

: 00:11:52

Of going possibly from a, a two

income household to possibly

247

: 00:11:57

a one income household because

you are choosing to homeschool.

248

: 00:12:02

And so that doesn't have to remain

the case with homeschool money.

249

: 00:12:05

We are here to help you pivot, right?

250

: 00:12:07

Mm-hmm.

251

: 00:12:08

And, and not eliminate your income

and, and have that lifelong sacrifice.

252

: 00:12:13

But instead to pivot

your skills into a new.

253

: 00:12:17

Venture that could likely be more

profitable and less stressful

254

: 00:12:21

and more flexible so you can

homeschool and make money.

255

: 00:12:25

That's what homeschool money's all about.

256

: 00:12:27

Yeah, I love that because the

next skill is evaluating ROI.

257

: 00:12:31

So we know ROI is return on investment.

258

: 00:12:34

Mm-hmm.

259

: 00:12:34

And one of people's best return on

investments is listening to this show

260

: 00:12:37

because we're the only place where people

are having this conversation directly.

261

: 00:12:42

And so there are a ton, a ton of options.

262

: 00:12:44

You know, for homeschooling.

263

: 00:12:46

So you have to be good

at investing wisely.

264

: 00:12:48

Mm-hmm.

265

: 00:12:48

And so whenever, there's a lot

of different classes you can take

266

: 00:12:51

and you know, just places that you

can go and things that you can do.

267

: 00:12:55

You're constantly making decisions

on what to spend my time on,

268

: 00:13:00

what to spend my money on.

269

: 00:13:01

And of course you're doing

that all the time in business.

270

: 00:13:03

So yet another skill right there.

271

: 00:13:06

That's right.

272

: 00:13:07

And what's our next skill, crystal?

273

: 00:13:09

So the next skill is basically like

a compilation of just character

274

: 00:13:13

traits that are really great for

entrepreneurs and homeschooling families.

275

: 00:13:18

And so that's focus,

discipline, consistency, all

276

: 00:13:21

those kinds of things, right?

277

: 00:13:22

You know, all these just character traits

that in order to be a great intentional

278

: 00:13:27

homeschool family that is running well,

it's the same skills that's gonna make

279

: 00:13:32

you a good, successful business owner.

280

: 00:13:34

And so staying focused.

281

: 00:13:36

Being disciplined, being consistent

with your, what you need to do.

282

: 00:13:40

You know, homeschooling is a lifestyle,

so there's never a day that is wasted.

283

: 00:13:44

There's never a day that's

wasted in your business.

284

: 00:13:47

And so the more great systems, processes,

and resources you implement, the

285

: 00:13:51

more capacity you have for learning.

286

: 00:13:53

I mean, we see it all the time.

287

: 00:13:54

The more organized we are, the

more we can do in a day, the more

288

: 00:13:58

resources we get that are very helpful.

289

: 00:14:01

The more we're able to handle and just

the more organized we are, the better

290

: 00:14:04

we're able to handle things that change.

291

: 00:14:06

So like if there's some unexpected

event or something, if we're all

292

: 00:14:10

organized and everybody's running, you

know, in a good, we're all in sync.

293

: 00:14:14

Things work out better for

us and we can do a lot more.

294

: 00:14:17

Especially having five kids, we

have to have things in order.

295

: 00:14:20

It can't be chaotic otherwise, you

just can't get the basics done.

296

: 00:14:23

And in a business, the more organized you

are, the more business you can handle.

297

: 00:14:28

That's right.

298

: 00:14:29

Oh, so the process of homeschooling

will make you a better business person.

299

: 00:14:33

That's right.

300

: 00:14:34

That's right.

301

: 00:14:35

And, you know we, we just talked about

it like, you know, we knew that we wanted

302

: 00:14:40

to homeschool from day one when we met

in college and had that conversation

303

: 00:14:44

about how many kids we wanted and

we were just dreaming and, you know,

304

: 00:14:48

just, just talking and whatever about

our futures and what we wanted, didn't

305

: 00:14:52

even know we were gonna be married.

306

: 00:14:53

And you said that you wanted to homeschool

and you wanted five kids, and Oh wow.

307

: 00:14:58

I want five kids.

308

: 00:14:59

And, and you know, that whole

conversation, we've talked

309

: 00:15:01

about that in earlier episodes.

310

: 00:15:04

We knew over 23 years ago, long

before we even had children, that

311

: 00:15:11

homeschooling was gonna be an

important role in our lives as parents

312

: 00:15:16

because of the way that we wanted to.

313

: 00:15:18

Raise our children.

314

: 00:15:19

We knew that it would be a lot of

work sacrifice and that we would

315

: 00:15:23

be counter-cultural in some ways,

but we built our lives so that we

316

: 00:15:28

could live in that integrated way.

317

: 00:15:31

We've been working from home and

making money remotely since: 2006

318

: 00:15:37

before it became a lot more popular.

319

: 00:15:41

After COVID-19 happened.

320

: 00:15:44

So we've been business owners and

self-employed since: 2003

321

: 00:15:50

that one day we were gonna have our kids

and that we wanted to be able to be with

322

: 00:15:55

them, that we wanted to be home together

so that we can both be there as parents

323

: 00:16:00

so that they can have both of us there.

324

: 00:16:02

Not just crystal you as the mom,

but also me as their dad so that

325

: 00:16:08

I can play an important role

in their lives and be present.

326

: 00:16:11

In the home with the kids.

327

: 00:16:13

And so I've spent the last 17 years

as a digital marketing consultant,

328

: 00:16:18

copywriter and growth marketer

to hundreds of small businesses

329

: 00:16:22

around the country and the world.

330

: 00:16:24

And that's one of the main ways we've

been able to make money and still.

331

: 00:16:28

Be able to afford to homeschool and afford

that homeschooling lifestyle is, is that

332

: 00:16:33

work that we've been doing, and in this

work we directly help startups and small

333

: 00:16:37

small to mid-sized businesses increase

their leads, increase their sales,

334

: 00:16:42

and build scalable, you know, powerful

sales systems and demand generating

335

: 00:16:47

campaigns that bring in sales and profits.

336

: 00:16:50

That work is what gives us so

much insight into what's working.

337

: 00:16:54

And what doesn't work.

338

: 00:16:56

And so the moneymaking opportunities

that we wanna discuss today are real.

339

: 00:17:01

So we're gonna talk about real

business opportunities that

340

: 00:17:04

work for homeschooling moms.

341

: 00:17:06

And so moms are always wanting to know

exactly where to spend their time, which

342

: 00:17:12

business to start, which one actually

lets them be at home, lets them be

343

: 00:17:16

able to use their gifts and talents.

344

: 00:17:18

And there's lots of

different opportunities.

345

: 00:17:20

And like you were saying,

you know, we were.

346

: 00:17:22

Whenever we were younger, we needed

to figure out how can we not only be

347

: 00:17:25

self-employed, but how can we be at

home that's not just working from home

348

: 00:17:29

like we talked about, but at home,

but at home, from home and at home.

349

: 00:17:32

Different, two different things.

350

: 00:17:34

Yeah, that's right.

351

: 00:17:35

And so that's one thing I

love about having just so much

352

: 00:17:38

experience in this industry.

353

: 00:17:39

Is as we've seen everything grow and we've

just seen, you know, all the different

354

: 00:17:44

things that look like opportunities

but may not be opportunities.

355

: 00:17:48

And so that's why I like being able to

help people cut through the clutter.

356

: 00:17:50

And so the first opportunity

is the teaching economy.

357

: 00:17:54

And this is your specialty.

358

: 00:17:55

You know, we specialize in helping

a lot of information marketers,

359

: 00:17:59

people who publish, people who

write, coach speak, things like that.

360

: 00:18:03

Just sharing their knowledge as

experts in the written word or the

361

: 00:18:07

spoken word, or just some kind of.

362

: 00:18:09

Information marketing.

363

: 00:18:10

That's right.

364

: 00:18:11

And so that has been an industry that

we've specialized in since day one.

365

: 00:18:18

Tony Comm 1: Hey, friend, quick break.

382

: 00:19:13

That's right.

383

: 00:19:14

You know, a lot of, you know,

maybe coaches or whatever.

384

: 00:19:16

Some, some coaches these days are

like digital marketing agencies.

385

: 00:19:20

Will they just have experience

helping other folks or helping

386

: 00:19:23

entrepreneurs who are trying to

sell or launch a digital course.

387

: 00:19:29

But we were doing this stuff

way back when people were still.

388

: 00:19:33

Shipping CDs and DVDs,

you know what I mean?

389

: 00:19:36

Like we've been doing

this stuff a long time.

390

: 00:19:38

Yeah.

391

: 00:19:38

And I actually have a certification in

doing copywriting and launches and that

392

: 00:19:44

type of thing, and building sales funnels.

393

: 00:19:46

For information marketing

businesses, knowledge experts, people

394

: 00:19:50

selling courses, people selling.

395

: 00:19:53

Back then they were home study courses.

396

: 00:19:54

Now everything is just

like a digital course.

397

: 00:19:57

And so we selling masterminds and selling

group coaching programs, individual

398

: 00:20:02

coaching programs and events and all

of those types of information products.

399

: 00:20:09

And so yeah, that's definitely

an expertise and that.

400

: 00:20:12

Who knew, like back when we were

working with companies doing that,

401

: 00:20:17

dating back to 2007, who knew that

that particular industry would become

402

: 00:20:23

what it has become today to where.

403

: 00:20:25

There are so many people and it's like

one of the top business, one of the

404

: 00:20:32

top industries or whatever on online

today is information and e-learning.

405

: 00:20:38

Yeah.

406

: 00:20:38

It's the e-learning industry.

407

: 00:20:40

So basically if you have

any type of expertise yeah.

408

: 00:20:44

You can package that expertise and share

it with people and get paid to do it.

409

: 00:20:49

It's just, just as simple as that.

410

: 00:20:51

Yeah.

411

: 00:20:51

And so.

412

: 00:20:52

A lot of people were lit.

413

: 00:20:53

It was such an obscure

industry back in the day.

414

: 00:20:55

But it, it is just amazing that

now that's become such a popular

415

: 00:20:59

thing and just didn't know

that it was gonna be like that.

416

: 00:21:02

But that's the thing, you know,

being a, a learner, you know,

417

: 00:21:05

I've always loved to learn.

418

: 00:21:06

Mm-hmm.

419

: 00:21:06

And so whenever I was presented with

the idea of learning, you know, through

420

: 00:21:10

cassette tapes, through, you know,

then DVDs and CDs, and then online.

421

: 00:21:16

It made sense to me that

you can continue learning.

422

: 00:21:19

Mm-hmm.

423

: 00:21:19

But I remember getting pushback from

people back then and them saying, can

424

: 00:21:23

you really learn through this internet?

425

: 00:21:25

You know?

426

: 00:21:26

Yeah.

427

: 00:21:26

Well, it can, you learn watching

a documentary on television.

428

: 00:21:29

Yeah.

429

: 00:21:30

I mean, you're always learning.

430

: 00:21:31

And so now.

431

: 00:21:32

It being an industry of e-learning,

it just had to, people just

432

: 00:21:36

had to wait for, you know, more

opportunities to see it work.

433

: 00:21:40

But you're always learning.

434

: 00:21:41

Yeah.

435

: 00:21:42

And so I think learners out there are

some of the best people poised to be

436

: 00:21:46

in the teaching economy because if

you learn, then you can easily see

437

: 00:21:51

how other people can learn from you.

438

: 00:21:52

And you probably just need the confidence.

439

: 00:21:54

Yeah.

440

: 00:21:55

Because like we know there's

like 52 different ways.

441

: 00:21:58

That you can package your expertise.

442

: 00:22:00

Right?

443

: 00:22:00

Whereas many people, like we just

mentioned, you know, like the teaching

444

: 00:22:04

economy and you could do a course, but

there's, there's the tutoring, there's

445

: 00:22:07

curriculum creation, the online courses

you know, like you said, masterminds.

446

: 00:22:12

There's different ways.

447

: 00:22:13

That a teacher, a person who

has expertise, can share their

448

: 00:22:17

information, their knowledge,

their ex, their experience with

449

: 00:22:21

another person in charge for that.

450

: 00:22:23

And it's just making sure that

people understand that will

451

: 00:22:27

also keep people grounded.

452

: 00:22:29

Because I know we've always had

that, well, we don't wanna be a

453

: 00:22:31

guru, you know, type of thing.

454

: 00:22:33

Right.

455

: 00:22:34

But we see it as we want to just

help people by sharing what we know.

456

: 00:22:39

Yeah.

457

: 00:22:40

And when you do it like that,

it's not about, you know.

458

: 00:22:43

Just selling on the internet or something.

459

: 00:22:45

It's about an opportunity to share.

460

: 00:22:47

Kind of like how when we published our

first book, it wasn't about publishing.

461

: 00:22:50

It was about how can we

help more of our friends?

462

: 00:22:53

Yeah.

463

: 00:22:53

Yeah.

464

: 00:22:54

And and I and I, and I said earlier

that it's like crazy that it's

465

: 00:22:58

become such a, like the A number one.

466

: 00:23:02

Fastest growing industry is e-learning,

but it's not confusing why that is,

467

: 00:23:09

it is because the world has changed

so much with the rise of the internet.

468

: 00:23:13

It has changed the outlook of

people's careers who graduated

469

: 00:23:18

from traditional colleges.

470

: 00:23:20

Without jobs, with things shifting, and

now in the age of ai, entire industries

471

: 00:23:28

are, are shutting down and, and entire

fields are, are shutting down and

472

: 00:23:32

shifting really fast underneath the

feet of people coming into the economy.

473

: 00:23:39

And so traditional educational

institutions have not been able at all.

474

: 00:23:45

To begin to keep up with the, the fast

shifts in this economy, and that is

475

: 00:23:52

exactly why we were learning from home

study courses dating back to: 2003

476

: 00:23:59

Yeah, the only way to get the knowledge

on how to operate on the internet was

477

: 00:24:04

through masterminds, home study courses.

478

: 00:24:07

Direct coaching that there

was no system for it.

479

: 00:24:10

Right.

480

: 00:24:11

You know, and so now people

have that opportunity, but

481

: 00:24:14

it's always, it's been there.

482

: 00:24:15

Yeah.

483

: 00:24:15

You know, there's always been

like apprenticeships, you know?

484

: 00:24:18

Yeah.

485

: 00:24:18

And so that, that, that is the

reason why e-learning is growing

486

: 00:24:21

so fast, just because there

are more and more young people.

487

: 00:24:26

Who are becoming adults and

pouring into this economy.

488

: 00:24:29

And it is, things are moving so

fast that they are not prepared

489

: 00:24:35

for what they're coming into in

this economy that we live in.

490

: 00:24:40

I 'cause things are shifting so

fast and so the only way that

491

: 00:24:44

people can learn is to learn it from

people who are doing it real time.

492

: 00:24:51

It takes.

493

: 00:24:53

A lot in order and a lot of time

in order to get a new program new

494

: 00:24:59

information pushed through traditional

education channels it can take years.

495

: 00:25:05

And by that time it's completely

irre irrelevant, and it arrives

496

: 00:25:10

to students in those traditional

education settings dead on arrival.

497

: 00:25:16

Right?

498

: 00:25:16

And so.

499

: 00:25:17

When there are new things happening

in the economy, now you can jump on

500

: 00:25:22

YouTube or you can start a podcast

and you can write a book and you can

501

: 00:25:27

create a digital course today that's

relevant to people who have the need.

502

: 00:25:32

Of your solution today instead of of of

those people just going through trying to

503

: 00:25:40

go through traditional educational systems

with a four year degree or something

504

: 00:25:44

like that, to learn things that are gonna

be outdated by the time they graduate.

505

: 00:25:48

And so that creates your opportunity,

the fast shift in this economy

506

: 00:25:54

that is continuing to take place.

507

: 00:25:56

It is your opportunity to take advantage

and join the e-Learning revolution

508

: 00:26:02

and become a teacher, become a

coach, become a guide, and you don't

509

: 00:26:07

have to have it all figured out.

510

: 00:26:10

We've always heard one leader say,

you just need to be one step ahead

511

: 00:26:15

of the people that you are trying

to lead in order to do a great

512

: 00:26:19

job as a leader, and in order to

be able to galvanize an audience.

513

: 00:26:24

And students around your offer, and

I think that homeschool families

514

: 00:26:29

are already a step ahead of other

people because if they've become.

515

: 00:26:33

A homeschool family, they know that

you can learn in an unconventional

516

: 00:26:37

way and they understand the

rapid nature of online learning.

517

: 00:26:42

Right.

518

: 00:26:42

Because they're already doing that and

taking advantage of that for their kids.

519

: 00:26:46

That's right.

520

: 00:26:47

So let's go on to opportunity

number two, Chris.

521

: 00:26:50

That's the service economy.

522

: 00:26:52

And so we have a lot of clients that are

in this, and that will include people

523

: 00:26:56

like virtual assistants, bookkeeping,

social media for small businesses.

524

: 00:27:01

I mean, anybody that can offer a service

to someone can be in business today.

525

: 00:27:07

Yeah.

526

: 00:27:07

All you have to do is find somebody

with a need and say, I'll help.

527

: 00:27:10

Well, that's what we

found out back in: 2007

528

: 00:27:13

Exactly.

529

: 00:27:13

And we've been doing it ever since,

and we're still doing it today.

530

: 00:27:17

You can make a six figure income

working at home, working remotely,

531

: 00:27:22

working anywhere you want to and

own your time and own your schedule.

532

: 00:27:28

If you learn a skill and are able

to offer that expertise and that

533

: 00:27:34

assistance remotely, and that's

what we like to recommend to people.

534

: 00:27:39

If you, if you're wanting to

make income like immediately,

535

: 00:27:42

you wanna start with a service.

536

: 00:27:44

Mm-hmm.

537

: 00:27:44

That's right.

538

: 00:27:45

The service is gonna get you as if,

as fast as you can come up with.

539

: 00:27:49

Your offer and just

identify a potential client.

540

: 00:27:52

You can be in business today.

541

: 00:27:54

That's right.

542

: 00:27:54

You don't have to create anything.

543

: 00:27:55

You don't have to know a ton of people.

544

: 00:27:58

You just have to find one person

that needs help and charge 'em

545

: 00:28:01

and then find another person.

546

: 00:28:02

That's right.

547

: 00:28:03

And, and it's so, it's so much easier

and I mean, it's pretty amazing to make.

548

: 00:28:11

Income selling a digi selling a course

or something like that, that's, we've

549

: 00:28:16

sold courses and that's one of the,

be, that's probably the, the best way

550

: 00:28:20

to make an income, selling a course,

selling a book, selling things like

551

: 00:28:24

that, information products, because

it's so profitable if you own it.

552

: 00:28:29

Like if you own it, like if we've

self-published our own books, and so

553

: 00:28:32

we own the books that we've published.

554

: 00:28:34

And so those book e each book sale

was, you know, profitable relative

555

: 00:28:38

to what a person who goes through

traditional publishing channel would

556

: 00:28:43

make per copy of, of their book sold.

557

: 00:28:46

And, but, but the thing is, is that you,

whenever to, in order to sell a course.

558

: 00:28:53

You have to either have an audience

that you've already been nurturing and

559

: 00:28:57

already who is warm and sort of hot, ready

for your digital chorus launch offer.

560

: 00:29:03

And if you don't have that and it, it can

take some time to build that, it can take

561

: 00:29:07

months to maybe a year to build that.

562

: 00:29:10

So if you've started a YouTube

channel or TikTok, or a podcast or

563

: 00:29:15

you've been growing a social media

presence and gaining some influence

564

: 00:29:18

and gaining some followership.

565

: 00:29:20

That is all good.

566

: 00:29:22

And if your audience is really

engaged, then it could be a prime

567

: 00:29:26

time for you to launch a course

of some sort and and quickly sell.

568

: 00:29:30

However, if you don't have any of that

stuff built up yet and you decide, Hey,

569

: 00:29:36

I want to get going in homeschooling.

570

: 00:29:38

Or Hey, I'm tired of sacrificing so

much and I want to start creating some

571

: 00:29:43

income, doing something and making

some money while still homeschooling.

572

: 00:29:48

Your best bet is going to be to

start with number two and, oh,

573

: 00:29:52

let me step back real quick.

574

: 00:29:53

All of this information that we're talking

about here is taken from step four of

575

: 00:29:58

our five step system in the homeschool.

576

: 00:30:01

Money makeover program.

577

: 00:30:04

So we have five steps in that system.

578

: 00:30:06

This is all taken straight

from step four, where we talk

579

: 00:30:10

about the top five moneymaking

opportunities for homeschooling

580

: 00:30:15

moms, dads homeschooling parents.

581

: 00:30:18

Okay, so but again, back

to the conversation.

582

: 00:30:21

So se service.

583

: 00:30:22

To start a service that you can offer done

for you is always going to sell easier.

584

: 00:30:30

Than than the teaching.

585

: 00:30:32

Than do it yourself.

586

: 00:30:33

Yeah, do it yourself.

587

: 00:30:34

Yeah.

588

: 00:30:34

DIY especially like if you're like

trying to work with entrepreneurs

589

: 00:30:40

or something like that, we've

always worked with entrepreneurs.

590

: 00:30:43

They want things done for

them, especially small business

591

: 00:30:46

owners with, with small teams.

592

: 00:30:48

They may not have a person.

593

: 00:30:49

Usually I come in a situations

where they don't have a person

594

: 00:30:52

on the team with my expertise.

595

: 00:30:54

It's them driving the business and every.

596

: 00:30:56

Everybody else on their team, you

know, is doing whatever they're

597

: 00:31:00

doing, maybe helping fulfill

the services that they offer.

598

: 00:31:03

And then, you know, they, they're gonna

have their assistant, their executive

599

: 00:31:06

assistant, that type of person.

600

: 00:31:08

And they may have somebody like a

social media person, but they don't

601

: 00:31:12

have somebody who can come in.

602

: 00:31:14

And have a high level, you know,

understanding of marketing in a cohesive

603

: 00:31:19

way that can help put together things that

they may understand in fragmented bits.

604

: 00:31:25

So I can put together your, your

podcasting with your SEO content

605

: 00:31:29

plan and you know, social, social

media with your email marketing and.

606

: 00:31:33

Put all those things together into a very

streamlined program and organize all of

607

: 00:31:39

your different offers into a streamlined.

608

: 00:31:42

Value ladder.

609

: 00:31:44

And so that's my expertise.

610

: 00:31:46

That's what I've been doing for years.

611

: 00:31:48

And so offering a done for you

is always going to sell easier

612

: 00:31:53

and in a quicker way you can more

quickly and easily go to market.

613

: 00:31:59

With a done for you service that you're

doing for people rather than DIY do

614

: 00:32:04

trying to sell a course, whereas DIY

they, them doing it themselves through

615

: 00:32:08

your course or something like that.

616

: 00:32:09

So if you're just getting going, just

know that if you want to, if you have

617

: 00:32:14

skills to be a virtual assistant or just

taking some training or certification

618

: 00:32:17

to be a virtual assistant or you wanna

be a content writer, like what I do,

619

: 00:32:21

a copywriter or something like that.

620

: 00:32:24

A social media manager,

bookkeeper, or different.

621

: 00:32:27

Whatever your skillset is doing it

for people, you can pretty much.

622

: 00:32:32

Pretty easily get booked up with that

if with, with a little focused effort.

623

: 00:32:39

you're enjoying the show.

691

: 00:36:31

692

: 00:36:31

That though, we were having a conversation

one time and we were talking about, we had

693

: 00:36:35

just had, I don't know, one of our kids

and I was like, you know, I have a lot

694

: 00:36:39

of books here about how to declutter, how

to organize, how to clean and all that.

695

: 00:36:44

And I was like, I'm not

reading any of 'em right now.

696

: 00:36:47

We just need to hire,

you know this service.

697

: 00:36:49

That's right.

698

: 00:36:49

Yeah.

699

: 00:36:49

Right.

700

: 00:36:50

And I was like, okay.

701

: 00:36:51

I am so thankful.

702

: 00:36:52

When there's three people come and

in two hours clean this entire, it's

703

: 00:36:57

like six hours worth of manpower.

704

: 00:36:59

That's right.

705

: 00:36:59

And it, it is better than what I can do.

706

: 00:37:01

Yeah.

707

: 00:37:02

And I, I took a nap, you know?

708

: 00:37:04

That's right.

709

: 00:37:04

I like go do stuff.

710

: 00:37:05

I'm like, I'm gonna use this time.

711

: 00:37:06

That's right.

712

: 00:37:07

And so sometimes, you know, I love

reading and learning and growing and

713

: 00:37:11

all that kind of stuff, but I realized

that whenever I'm trying to learn

714

: 00:37:14

something and implement it myself,

that's one thing and that's a service.

715

: 00:37:18

I wanna buy that book, buy that course.

716

: 00:37:20

But I, when I'm in another moment

where I just need it done for me, same

717

: 00:37:23

thing that happened with laundry too.

718

: 00:37:24

I was like, oh my goodness.

719

: 00:37:26

Well, laundry looks better.

720

: 00:37:27

It's folded better.

721

: 00:37:28

Everything's better, smells

better, smells better.

722

: 00:37:30

I'm like, you know, I

don't even need to be here.

723

: 00:37:33

That's right.

724

: 00:37:33

That's right.

725

: 00:37:33

And so doing it for somebody and

just taking that weight off Yeah.

726

: 00:37:37

That you're, if you get into

a room with people with.

727

: 00:37:40

Of some kind.

728

: 00:37:41

You can just get booked up.

729

: 00:37:43

That's right.

730

: 00:37:43

Just find where you wanna

play in the economy.

731

: 00:37:45

That's right.

732

: 00:37:45

So yeah.

733

: 00:37:46

So the next the number three.

734

: 00:37:48

Yeah.

735

: 00:37:49

Next opportunity is the product

economy, and that would include

736

: 00:37:53

physical products or digital products.

737

: 00:37:55

And so some people like to sell.

738

: 00:37:57

You know, digital planners downloads, you

know, printables, all that kind of stuff.

739

: 00:38:02

And a lot of homeschool families will

just get to where they're sharing things

740

: 00:38:06

that they've created for their own family.

741

: 00:38:08

So once you get in here for a few

years, you start creating systems

742

: 00:38:11

that you can help other families with.

743

: 00:38:14

And so we also have people that are like

micro school owners and things, so they're

744

: 00:38:18

creating co-ops, they're creating schools,

they're creating, you know, just tutoring

745

: 00:38:22

and, you know, opportunities like that.

746

: 00:38:25

And so.

747

: 00:38:26

The same thing can cross over

into the product economy.

748

: 00:38:28

You may not be creating a service

or you may not be teaching, but you

749

: 00:38:32

may just have a product that can be

downloaded and so as a product or in a,

750

: 00:38:37

you know, like a, a learning box that

you can sell as a e-commerce product,

751

: 00:38:41

you know, there's people that do that.

752

: 00:38:43

So there's a lot of different ways you

can take it, but it's basically you wanna

753

: 00:38:47

find out which category you want to be in.

754

: 00:38:49

Do you want to teach it?

755

: 00:38:50

Do you want to be the service

or do you wanna package it?

756

: 00:38:53

In a leverageable way

in a product, you know?

757

: 00:38:56

Yeah.

758

: 00:38:56

And those are like the three, like

top ways that people are making money.

759

: 00:39:01

Yeah.

760

: 00:39:01

And so now with products as, as we know,

you're talking about like e-commerce

761

: 00:39:05

and that type of thing e-commerce or

whether you're trying to get your products

762

: 00:39:09

sold into in a big box retailer store.

763

: 00:39:13

You know they are cash hungry endeavors.

764

: 00:39:16

Mm-hmm.

765

: 00:39:16

Right.

766

: 00:39:16

Yeah.

767

: 00:39:16

That's why if you do an offline

product, like one that's gonna

768

: 00:39:19

be shipped, you're gonna have to

have that financial investment

769

: 00:39:22

that's gonna take more research.

770

: 00:39:23

Investment, just a lot more investment.

771

: 00:39:25

That's right.

772

: 00:39:26

You have to consider cost of goods.

773

: 00:39:28

You have to consider shipping costs.

774

: 00:39:30

And you're gonna be pressed up against

prices that you can charge out in

775

: 00:39:36

the marketplace for your, for your

product, and particularly if you

776

: 00:39:39

get into more competitive niches.

777

: 00:39:41

Mm-hmm.

778

: 00:39:42

And so when you talk about

products of the three.

779

: 00:39:45

Products are probably the riskiest

just because of the, the, the

780

: 00:39:52

margins, the the, for one, the upfront

capital that you are going to have

781

: 00:39:57

to invest to get your product going.

782

: 00:39:59

And even if you find, you know, a white

label company that can, you know get

783

: 00:40:04

your product to you in small quantities.

784

: 00:40:09

Well, if you're getting small quantities

on whatever product you're trying

785

: 00:40:13

to sell, oftentimes you're gonna be

paying more per unit in that situation.

786

: 00:40:16

Yes.

787

: 00:40:16

See, your margins are

gonna be way tighter.

788

: 00:40:18

That's right.

789

: 00:40:19

That's right.

790

: 00:40:19

And then you're, you're, you're

still trying to, you're gonna

791

: 00:40:22

have to go and sell that product

and Yeah, there's Amazon there.

792

: 00:40:26

Yeah, there's Facebook marketplace there.

793

: 00:40:28

But you have to consider the competition

and what price and what price per unit.

794

: 00:40:34

Your competition is selling at, and you

have to factor, like I said, shipping,

795

: 00:40:38

warehousing costs and packaging costs

and other costs that go into product

796

: 00:40:43

sales that make it rather challenging.

797

: 00:40:46

And sometimes those challenges don't,

don't readily like to show their

798

: 00:40:51

faces on the, on the front end.

799

: 00:40:54

They you sometimes will

see those on the back.

800

: 00:40:56

You, you all the time.

801

: 00:40:57

All the time.

802

: 00:40:58

In every situation.

803

: 00:40:59

You'll see them on the back end, but they

sometimes don't like to show themselves.

804

: 00:41:03

On the front end.

805

: 00:41:04

Yeah.

806

: 00:41:04

I, I think for sure if you're gonna

get into the product economy, you

807

: 00:41:08

wanna try to, as much as possible,

keep it when it's just digital.

808

: 00:41:12

That's right.

809

: 00:41:12

It especially being a home.

810

: 00:41:13

'cause you already have

enough to think about.

811

: 00:41:14

Mm-hmm.

812

: 00:41:15

You know, if you're, you know,

not homeschooling, you got time,

813

: 00:41:18

you don't have anything else

going on, that's one thing.

814

: 00:41:19

But we're talking to homeschool families.

815

: 00:41:21

Yeah.

816

: 00:41:21

You may not wanna make that.

817

: 00:41:23

The thing that you focus on

unless you count the cost.

818

: 00:41:26

Mm-hmm.

819

: 00:41:26

And so, I mean, we've been in all of

these different areas and they all

820

: 00:41:30

have their benefits and opportunities.

821

: 00:41:32

I mean, opportunities arise

in lots of different ways.

822

: 00:41:34

Ways think about products

is that products sell.

823

: 00:41:36

You don't really have to have

like a big name brand yourself.

824

: 00:41:40

It's not personality driven.

825

: 00:41:41

And that's what we loved about it,

but we've experienced the upside of

826

: 00:41:45

that, being able to sell pretty easily.

827

: 00:41:48

Products.

828

: 00:41:49

But then we've also experienced

the, the tough spots.

829

: 00:41:51

In in, yeah.

830

: 00:41:52

Like for an example, squeeze by margins.

831

: 00:41:53

Yeah.

832

: 00:41:53

Well, like whenever we were selling a

product and it was coming from overseas,

833

: 00:41:57

and then remember that time at the,

the airport got shut down mm-hmm.

834

: 00:42:02

In the country.

835

: 00:42:03

Yeah.

836

: 00:42:03

And it was like, well, your products

are gonna, you're getting sales, but

837

: 00:42:06

your products are gonna be shipping now.

838

: 00:42:08

In nine weeks in the airport.

839

: 00:42:10

Oh, nine weeks.

840

: 00:42:11

Nine weeks.

841

: 00:42:12

Yeah.

842

: 00:42:12

Absolutely.

843

: 00:42:13

Yeah.

844

: 00:42:13

No.

845

: 00:42:13

So you know, that's what I'm saying.

846

: 00:42:15

We have a lot of experience in

these different things, but lots

847

: 00:42:18

of opportunities and that's why

it's important for everybody to.

848

: 00:42:23

Evaluate their opportunity, evaluate

what they're willing to, to focus on

849

: 00:42:28

what they're willing to do, and then,

you know, take it one step at a time.

850

: 00:42:32

There, there's, there the, the

opportunities actually stack on

851

: 00:42:35

top of each other and opportunities

change with something that could

852

: 00:42:38

be an opportunity right now for

the next five years could change.

853

: 00:42:42

And that's why you have to

use these business skills of

854

: 00:42:44

like pivoting and constantly.

855

: 00:42:46

You know, planning and just being vigilant

about, you know, staying focused on the

856

: 00:42:51

goal, which is the ultimate focus is being

at home with your child, being able to

857

: 00:42:56

be as low stress as possible so that you

can be a positive, happy parent while

858

: 00:43:01

they're getting this great education

and you're enjoying a wonderful life.

859

: 00:43:05

So, all these things, you know, being an

entrepreneur, there are all these things

860

: 00:43:09

that come with the territory in one way

or the other, whether you're homeschooling

861

: 00:43:13

or not, and it can all lead to.

862

: 00:43:15

A successful homeschool experience.

863

: 00:43:18

That's right.

864

: 00:43:19

That's right.

865

: 00:43:20

And so we hope that that was

insightful and encouraging to you.

866

: 00:43:24

We hope that you are inspired

to pursue the business idea that

867

: 00:43:31

has been in the back of your head

that you've been thinking about

at night or throughout the day.

869

: 00:43:37

And we just wanna encourage

you that yes, you can do it.

870

: 00:43:40

And even if it's product sales or, or

teaching economy, whether it's in the

871

: 00:43:44

product economy, the teaching economy,

or the service economy, you can do it.

872

: 00:43:48

You have to use the, the skills that

you've been using in homeschooling here

873

: 00:43:53

as you plan in your business, as you

research vendors, and research all the

874

: 00:43:58

things that you need to research and

plan it and get going and execute on it.
