wonderful childhood and with a, a great
4
:education and childhood experience?
5
:Well, we also believe that where
God guides, he provides and, and so
6
:that's why homeschool money is here.

:We have developed a five
step system that helps you.
8
:That comes alongside and helps
homeschooling parents, homeschooling
9
:families, maximize their income so
that you can, so that you can come
10
:home, so that you can homeschool your
children well without sacrificing.
11
:In your finances so that you
can raise your children well
12
:without a nine to five job.
13
:That's what we're gonna talk about today,
is that five step system that we call
14
:the Homeschool Money Makeover Program.
15
:Let's start the show.
16
:Intro: A fast growing number
of parents are starting their
17
:homeschooling journey while others
have been homeschooling for years.
18
:All of these parents are asking one big
question, how can I afford to homeschool?
19
:We are here to answer that
important question once and for all.
20
:Hi, I'm Crystal Obby.
21
:And I'm Anthony Obby.
22
:We've been homeschooling our five
kids for 13 years and we funded it.
23
:Through our online consulting business
that we've been running for over 17
24
:years now, we're combining Crystal's
financial coaching expertise with my
25
:digital marketing background where I help
entrepreneurs launch and sell online.
26
:We're here to help fellow homeschooling
parents self-fund their homeschool
27
:journey and create lifestyle businesses.
28
:For financial freedom without a nine to
five job, are you ready to start living
29
:life on your own terms and make your
homeschooling experience a lot more fun?
30
:Well then sit back, crank up
the volume, and enjoy this
31
:episode of Homeschool Money.
32
:Welcome to the show everyone.
33
:Anthony Oby here.
34
:I'm Crystal Oby.
35
:And we are excited to talk with you today
about the Five Step System that we call
36
:the Homeschool Money Makeover Program.
37
:This is the most comprehensive.
38
:Unique system, Devis, that we believe that
we've, that we've seen in the marketplace.
39
:We haven't seen anything else like it.
40
:And it has literally come out of the years
of experience that we have spent in the
41
:marketplace, the years of experience that
we have spent as a homeschooling family.
42
:It, it combines the expertise that I
have as a digital marketing consultant
43
:and professional for 17 plus years the
experience that I've had working with
44
:around 300 or so entrepreneurs at every
stage of, their business development,
45
:along with Crystal's experience as
a financial coach certified by three
46
:different organizations to help her
really be have the expertise to work with.
47
:Just about anybody, wherever you
are in your financial lifecycle.
48
:That's what I love about the process
is that we've worked with so many
49
:entrepreneurs and just families that have
come to us for advice along the years,
50
:is that this system has been created
to be able to help people from any walk
51
:of life in any step in their journey.
52
:And like you said, I have three different
certifications and the reason why I have
53
:those three different certifications.
54
:It's because people are all trying to
get to their next level, but everyone
55
:is starting at a different level.
56
:And so you have people who are
starting off that have very little,
57
:who are trying to go to have a bit
more, and then maybe even a lot more.
58
:And you have people who have a lot
who are trying to manage that and
59
:be able to make sure that the money
that they have doesn't crowd out the
60
:life that they actually wanna have.
61
:And so whether someone's on one
step of their journey or another.
62
:We have the information that can help
them be able to create the life they
63
:need to have the right childhood for
their kids, and to be able to have
64
:the income that they need without
sacrificing the presence with their kids.
65
:Yeah, that's right.
66
:And so let's get right into these steps.
67
:Step number one in the Homeschool
Money Makeover program program is.
68
:The homeschool money mindset
and why you need money.
69
:So there's three foundation foundational
lessons that we that we teach in this
70
:particular first foundational module,
and that is having a re reality check
71
:a reality check of your need for money.
72
:And then lesson number two,
assessing the true cost of free.
73
:Homeschooling, quote
unquote, free homeschooling.
74
:And then lesson number three,
installing the abundance operating
75
:system to become a money magnet.
76
:Talk a little bit about the, this
particular step in the process.
77
:Chris.
78
:I think it's really important for
people to understand that the reality
79
:check that we're talking about is.
80
:How you need to understand
that money is very important in
81
:the process of homeschooling.
82
:I talk to so many parents and a lot of
people have a lot of guilt and shame
83
:for wanting to even ask for more money.
84
:People have been kind of conditioned
to say, well, I have everything
85
:that I need, but still really be
struggling or still really have a
86
:need that they need to have met.
87
:And so they need somebody
to come and say, Hey.
88
:If you make a budget for all the
things that you need, curriculum,
89
:activities, you know, electronics,
all these different things you need,
90
:you already know what you need, but.
91
:You just need the money.
92
:And so there's nothing wrong with that.
93
:And so we start with that reality check.
94
:Hey, you're, it's actually gonna cost
in order to homeschool your kids.
95
:It's not just free.
96
:It can be done with a, in a very
budget friendly way, but homeschooling
97
:will take an investment of money and
time the same way it does if you have
98
:children in in el in public school.
99
:Everybody thinks that
public school is just free.
100
:But if you talk to any public school
parents, right, whenever school starts,
101
:they've got the list of the activities
that they have for their kids.
102
:They have the supply list
that they need for their kids.
103
:They have all the special events
and all the special costumes and you
104
:know, the special sweater or socks and
all that, all the different things.
105
:Educating your child has a cost associated
with it, no matter what system you
106
:choose to home to, to, to educate.
107
:And so homeschooling is the same way.
108
:It's very flexible, but there is a
cost and you will need to address
109
:that, and that's why we have that
lesson called assessing the true
110
:Cost of Home of free homeschooling.
111
:I mean, whenever you get started, it's so
exciting to know that hey, you can just
112
:get a lot of resources from the library
and use the free museums and just, you
113
:know, take your kids to the grocery store
and practice measuring and cooking and,
114
:you know, measuring things, you know, and
baking and, Hey, calling that science.
115
:Go ahead.
116
:Right?
117
:Yeah.
118
:That's science.
119
:This is math.
120
:It homeschooling is very
hands-on and life friendly.
121
:But at some point you're just gonna
wanna go buy a ticket for something.
122
:Some point, you're gonna wanna buy
the kit, you're gonna wanna attend the
123
:event, and it's going to take money.
124
:And so in order to prevent a
lot of frustration, you need
125
:to have a budget for that.
126
:You need to say, Hey, there's a lot
of things we can do that are just.
127
:Part of life.
128
:But there are some things
that are gonna cost even.
129
:Like if you go to the museum
here in Dallas, it costs a park.
130
:It may be free to go to the
museum, but it costs a park.
131
:If you wanna have something to
eat, you're gonna have to go to a
132
:food truck across the street unless
you plan on packing your lunch.
133
:And eating it and having a picnic.
134
:So there's all these costs that are
associated with just doing anything.
135
:And so I'd like to remind people of
that before they get their hopes up
136
:too much about just free homeschooling.
137
:Mm-hmm.
138
:Because I love a great deal,
but I also like to be able
139
:to have a quality experience.
140
:And I particularly love
getting VIP packages to things.
141
:Mm-hmm.
142
:And so I'm very much on both sides.
143
:I love the VIPP package, but
I also love the free and so
144
:of installing an abundance.
145
:Abundance operating system to becoming
a money magnet is super important as
146
:well, because you want to be able to
have the mindset that, Hey, if it's
147
:something that was really important
to us, like maybe taking a trip.
148
:Then we, we are walking in abundance
and we can invest in that trip.
149
:And traveling is just, it can be expensive
if you want to stay in nice places
150
:have speed, have quality, and all that.
151
:And so it's okay to invest in the
things that you wanna invest in.
152
:And it's also okay to save
on the budget on things that
153
:don't matter to you as much.
154
:And so it's super important to
understand that abundance is
155
:available to you and it may come out.
156
:In ways that cost money, and it's okay.
157
:And it's okay for you to be
able to invest that money.
158
:Step number two, new $1,000 cash goals.
159
:Get clear on what you'll
do with the money.
160
:1 Comm: Hey, real quick, if you're liking
the show, hit follow so you don't miss
161
:a single episode and drop a five star
rating and a review to let us know that
162
:you're loving the content and tell us
what topics you'd like us to cover.
163
:This will help more people find
the show, and please share this
164
:episode with a friend, your
co-op, or anyone who needs it.
165
:They'll be glad you did.
166
:Now, back to the show.
167
:It's important as a number, as step number
two to ease into this money makeover
168
:slowly and to build brick by brick.
169
:And so we're starting with the mindset
and, and having a reality check.
170
:About what the true cost of homeschooling
really is, and then ending off that, that
171
:step one with installing an abundance
operating system to become a money magnet.
172
:And then moving into step two.
173
:Now we want to.
174
:Maximize the opportunity and
really stretch our muscles in
175
:learning how to spend and planning
how we will spend just $1,000.
176
:Because if you can learn how to
maximize a small amount of money,
177
:then you'll do a much better job at
managing a bigger amount of money.
178
:And so a $1,000 budget can go a long
way in towards your homeschooling.
179
:Curriculum, it can go to a, a long
way towards your homeschooling
180
:expenses and setup, or it can
just be a drop in a huge bucket.
181
:And so in step number two, we want
to set clear goals and, and lay out
182
:a clear spending plan for $1,000
to really stretch your muscles
183
:and maximize how you would spend.
184
:One, the first $1,000 in your,
towards your homeschooling journey.
185
:This is usually one of the funnest
activities that we do with people
186
:because imagine if you have a $1,000
and you can go to Amazon and you
187
:have a wishlist and you're able to
just take a thousand dollars and
188
:get everything on that wishlist.
189
:How much would that uplevel
your homeschool, you know?
190
:Right.
191
:And what about if you had a thousand
dollars and you said, I wanna use
192
:this to, to for this quarter or
even this year, I want to use that
193
:to maximize our family activities.
194
:Well, you can look at getting
different memberships.
195
:You can look at different opportunities
that are free and combine them with
196
:going out to new restaurants like
we did when we were in Seattle.
197
:And we went to a a ton of
different, we got that pass.
198
:That city passing the Seattle Go pass.
199
:Yeah.
200
:Yeah.
201
:And we bought the pass and then every
day we tried a new restaurant and we
202
:did like three activities on the pass.
203
:Yeah.
204
:'cause we got access for seven
days to like 35 different places
205
:that were like the things to do in
Seattle, Tacoma, Washington, Olympia.
206
:We did.
207
:I mean, we did like five
things every single day.
208
:It was actually 36 things.
209
:Oh yeah.
210
:And we did all of 'em.
211
:We did all of them, right.
212
:Yeah.
213
:Plus we started the day with breakfast.
214
:Yep.
215
:And then we went, had lunch.
216
:Mm-hmm.
217
:And then went to dinner and
went home and crashed every day.
218
:Every day.
219
:Yeah.
220
:And then so we saw everything.
221
:Yep.
222
:Even like that bike ride that was.
223
:Yep.
224
:Throughout Seattle.
225
:Yeah.
226
:Yeah.
227
:On And ended up being the
hottest day of the year.
228
:Hottest day of the year.
229
:Super hilly.
230
:Hilly in Seattle.
231
:So we were down there at the fish market.
232
:We did that.
233
:We went to like a, like a, they had
like some sort of a bug museum or
234
:something like It was a butterfly museum.
235
:Butterfly museum.
236
:It was like in the
basement of something else.
237
:Yeah.
238
:Like we just did everything.
239
:We were like, hell, everything,
if they put it on the list.
240
:Then they said, we need to do it.
241
:Yeah, we went.
242
:So we did the space needle
and we went on a music museum.
243
:Yeah.
244
:Yeah.
245
:We went on a island.
246
:Yeah.
247
:Did a lu out, a sound,
a salmon, salmon bake.
248
:We had like this whole.
249
:Thing.
250
:Yeah.
251
:And so, yeah, it was so by buying
that pass and then looking at what
252
:are the top restaurants or you know,
what you can do in Seattle, Tacoma,
253
:Olympia, all that, we made this whole
itinerary and it was so affordable.
254
:That was an incredible way to
spend the money that we spent on
255
:that as opposed to just, you know,
whatever, whatever other options.
256
:It was an incredible
bang for the buck, right.
257
:Yeah, that was like such a memorable
experience and just with a little bit
258
:of planning, we took a small amount of
money that we could have spent doing a
259
:smaller activity and just maximized it.
260
:Yeah.
261
:And so the idea here with a
thousand dollars is, it may
262
:be small, but it's mighty.
263
:And if you just take some creativity
and a little bit of time, you
264
:can take that $1,000, make the.
265
:Ultimate budget and see how can you
make it incredible for your kids, and
266
:that's super fun because a lot of times.
267
:Create creativity is best
when you have constraints.
268
:When you have an unlimited
budget, that's kind of when
269
:things, you can be kind of boring.
270
:Right?
271
:You know, you, you don't really see
your opportunities and, and frivolous.
272
:Yeah, frivolous.
273
:And so, but when you say, I gotta
take this thousand dollars and
274
:really do something with it.
275
:That's when you end up having that
experience that we're still talking about
276
:here, that it is hard to really recreate.
277
:And so That's right.
278
:And the pictures were amazing.
279
:Yeah.
280
:And we can't, we really can't
recreate those pictures.
281
:And so yeah.
282
:That was amazing.
283
:So that's module two is
the $1,000 new cash goals.
284
:Yeah.
285
:This can be a really transformative
module if you take it seriously
286
:and just follow the steps.
287
:This, this one module can be the, the
worth, the price of the entire program.
288
:Now let's, moving on,
moving on from there.
289
:Now we're gonna ramp up really
hardcore into some some real money
290
:management, some money mastery
moves here in step number three.
291
:Because step number three is all about
foundational, the foundational building
292
:blocks to building legacy wealth.
293
:And, and if you notice that title, we're
covering a pretty broad stroke here.
294
:In this module, this is when we
really set the foundation for the
295
:financial piece, the budgeting,
the mastery, and the planning that
296
:you need to do in order to have.
297
:Peace in your life financially as
well as the financial abundance and
298
:wealth, and from generations to come.
299
:My certification with Dave Ramsey and
Ramsey Solutions is super helpful here
300
:because that's where we go into the
budgeting and the debt payoff and all
301
:the insurances that you need and all the
tips and tricks and techniques to make
302
:sure to maximize the money that you have.
303
:That's a really fun module to do because
there's not been one person that I've
304
:talked to that hasn't been able to lower
their expenses in some kind of way because
305
:you think you're doing everything you can.
306
:Most homeschool families
are pension, every penny.
307
:I mean, a lot of people when you're
homeschooling, you're going down to
308
:that one income and you've already
cut everything you think you can cut,
309
:and still, I'm able to help people
find extra money in their budget.
310
:But like I said.
311
:Most people, if you're homeschooling,
you're already doing everything you
312
:can actually, you know, possibly do.
313
:And so you need, you, you
need to have more money, which
314
:is why we have this program.
315
:But you also are thinking
about generational wealth.
316
:And so in this section.
317
:We talk about all the budgeting,
credit, all that kind of stuff.
318
:Life insurance, health insurance,
all the different things to keep
319
:everything you have protected.
320
:But then we go into the investing
and the setting your kids
321
:up for success financially.
322
:So that 50 years from now, all the work
that you've done and all the sacrifices
323
:that you've made are they really pay off.
324
:So they pay off now, and then
they pay and they pay off.
325
:Later, they pay off now so that you can
be with your kids, they pay off later
326
:so that when you're old, you can still
be there and have financial peace with
327
:your kids and help them live a life
of generational wealth and legacy.
328
:Yeah.
329
:I, I remember whenever you whenever you
and I did the training as well with you,
330
:but you got the actual financial coaching
certification with Ramsay Solutions.
331
:I remember one of the most impactful
things for me to learn was that
332
:building generational wealth is not
so much just a an errand of the rich.
333
:It's not so much just an errand
of those who are millionaires.
334
:There's a lot to be said and you can
make a lot of progress in your family.
335
:In your generation simply by
choosing the right insurances.
336
:There are a lot of, there's a lot
of confusion around insurances
337
:and investments, and there's some.
338
:Insurances that sell themselves as
investments in savings and learning and
339
:gaining a real practical distinguishment
of what insurance should be and what
340
:makes a good insurance policy, and
then what a good investment is and
341
:what makes a good investment, and
separating the two and keeping the
342
:two separate so that they can both do
their number one job very, very well.
343
:It was just game changing and so
many people get confused on that one.
344
:Get confused on that one thing, and
that's why like whole industries exist.
345
:It probably shouldn't, and we'll
go into that in further episodes.
346
:But you can make a lot of progress
in your generation and really set
347
:yourself up and your family up for
being protected financially just
348
:by getting the right insurance.
349
:And it's a very simple decision to make.
350
:And so setting yourself up and your
family up and, and playing defense
351
:is what you can do with insurances.
352
:And then the offensive game is all
about choosing the right investment
353
:vehicles for for long-term.
354
:Compounding interests and gains and
what I was just talking with a family
355
:today about is that how when you
get your finances in order, when you
356
:get your debt paid off, whenever you
have your income optimized, it's just
357
:inevitable that you become wealthy.
358
:2 Comm: Hey, friend, quick break.

:And helping people with that is that
there's a systematic way to everything
378
:and there's a systematic process
for having a good budget ha paying
379
:off your debt and becoming wealthy.
380
:And so within our program, we have
all of that integrated in there.
381
:And then we also help
people with the investing.
382
:Decisions and the income optimization
because it's a lot easier to have a budget
383
:when you have the money that you need.
384
:It's a lot easier to pay off debt
when you have the money you need.
385
:And it's a lot easier to invest
when you have the money you need.
386
:And so there's a lot of things that
families are trying to deal with.
387
:I mean think about that.
388
:Those are just multiple different
industries right there Yeah.
389
:That a family is trying to address
while trying to figure out.
390
:How to educate their kids.
391
:Yeah.
392
:Which they have to now become the
teacher and the superintendent
393
:and you know, all the different
things you have to do for that.
394
:There's a lot of angles for money
management and investment and
395
:everything that you have to handle.
396
:Yeah.
397
:So that's why we have, that is
its own module of having that
398
:budgeting and the investing because.
399
:The parents that we talk to who are
homeschooling, they're very intentional,
400
:and they're not only thinking about
their, their budget now they're
401
:thinking about their kids and how
they're gonna manage their money, and
402
:they're thinking about their older
years, retirement and things like that.
403
:They're very smart and they're
very intentional, so That's right.
404
:And so really the homeschool
money makeover program could end
405
:right here because you're, you're
delivering everything that you need.
406
:The full, you know, sort, sort of full
weight of your three different financial
407
:coaching certifications that you have
taken with hud with the Chalmers Center?
408
:Yeah, with the Chalmer Center.
409
:I love that certification because it's
all about helping people who may not think
410
:they have resources, actually identify
the resources they have because you know,
411
:when you don't have a lot, you think.
412
:You can't do anything because you
don't have anything to work with.
413
:Right.
414
:But in reality, everyone has some
type of asset that they can work with,
415
:but most people can't see it, right?
416
:And so I love helping people uncover
what they do have to work with,
417
:and then let's start from there
and get to where they want to go.
418
:That's right.
419
:'cause everybody has to
start from somewhere.
420
:Yeah.
421
:And everybody has something
that they can work with.
422
:Yeah.
423
:And so my certification and experience
with them is super fulfill fulfilling
424
:because homeschooling and wealth
building is accessible to everyone.
425
:But a lot of people just don't
know where the door is for
426
:themselves to enter into it.
427
:Yeah.
428
:And I love them.
429
:They can't find that on ramp.
430
:Exactly.
431
:And that's what I love to help them see.
432
:You don't have to already have a lot.
433
:In order to get somewhere.
434
:Right.
435
:And especially with your experience
working with entrepreneurs, I mean,
436
:you've worked with people who are
literally leaving their job and
437
:starting something completely brand
new, even in different industries.
438
:That's right.
439
:And you've also worked with companies
that are doing a hundred million dollars.
440
:That's right.
441
:So taking your experience and working
with that person that has this dream
442
:and then working with a company
that's been around forever and is,
443
:you know, hundreds of millions, right.
444
:You've been able to use your experiences.
445
:And they all, everybody's come,
everybody's using the same stuff.
446
:Yeah.
447
:And so I know you're really
excited whenever you get to work
448
:with that broad range of people.
449
:Yeah, a absolutely.
450
:And I think for me, as a, as a
professional in the digital marketing
451
:space, I reached a point where I
realized that I could really help.
452
:Some of just about anybody who came
my way after having worked with that
453
:broad scope and working with the big
company with, you know, the three, 500
454
:employees and multinational international.
455
:Company selling, you know big SaaS
software to enterprise, other enterprise
456
:companies and organizations around
the world all the way to working
457
:with a a, a a, a woman or a guy
who's just, you know, been fired or
458
:quit their job and have this idea.
459
:And want to run with it.
460
:Want run to one, want to run with one
idea and a digital course idea that
461
:they have, and where do they even start?
462
:How do you package
their idea up correctly?
463
:Well, and then how do you go to market?
464
:How do you launch when you don't have
an audience, when you don't have.
465
:Anything but an idea.
466
:And so from that experience, that range
of experience, one of the taglines that
467
:we say about our experience is that we
can help you from concept to cash flow.
468
:Right?
469
:Because that's really the scope that
we have worked with people in and
470
:putting frameworks around your idea
to help you launch from an idea.
471
:And so.
472
:In step number four, we move from
crystal, your expertise with financial
473
:with your financial coaching expertise
and everything that a person will
474
:get there, to moving on to how they
can go about generating more money.
475
:So step four is.
476
:Make money the easy way, creating new
revenue streams with no job and no stress.
477
:So in this powerful module,
lessons include unlocking
478
:your money, making superpower
unveil, unveiling the invisible.
479
:Income strategy, learning how
to make fast cash for busy moms.
480
:Now we are a homeschooling family
and you and I, we work together.
481
:We know that typically it's
gonna be homeschool, the the mom
482
:that we're having a conversation
with, and that's kind of how we.
483
:Angle our messaging too, but we're
here on this show together because we
484
:also want to invite the homeschooling
dads to the table and to this
485
:conversation and into this show.
486
:And so homeschool moms
and dads are welcome here.
487
:It in your home.
488
:Your decision to homeschool affects
both of you, married families, as
489
:well as maybe even single families.
490
:It affects both parents.
491
:When you decide to homeschool.
492
:Your children, regardless
of your marital status.
493
:And, and, and regardless of who's
staying home and with the child and all
494
:of that to, to do the homeschooling.
495
:And so we wanna just open that
conversation and let everyone know,
496
:for one, that you're welcome here.
497
:And for two, we're excited about offering
not only the, the, the money expertise
498
:and the financial expertise crystal that
you bring, but also the entrepreneurial.
499
:Coaching expertise that, that I
bring, and that's what this module
500
:is all about, is helping you put
frameworks around your business idea,
501
:your entrepreneurial expertise, your
entrepreneurial dream possibly, or
502
:just even the side hustle that you may
currently have going on that you would
503
:like to be able to increase in income.
504
:We, we, in this module, we help put.
505
:Per framework around that
to help you increase that.
506
:So what I mean by framework is that
it's all about it's all about doubling
507
:down on choosing your best audience,
the audience that you know will have
508
:the money to buy your solution and
take advantage of your solution.
509
:The audience that has the, the, the
biggest need for your solution and
510
:are willing to pay for that solution.
511
:And then it's about.
512
:Being.
513
:Being able to offer something
different and show up different
514
:than your competitors are.
515
:Being able to look at what your
competitors are offering and make
516
:sure systematically ensure that
you're showing up differently and
517
:better than every single one of your
competitors, so that you really put
518
:your yourself in a category of one.
519
:We can help you create that positioning.
520
:In your market, in your niche, that nobody
else has to make you a solution of one.
521
:And that's really, really important
to have success especially.
522
:And what's, what's amazing these days is
that the internet has brought so many, you
523
:know, years ago they talked about it being
the age of the long tail, the internet,
524
:bringing so many subcultures of people.
525
:Who are now gathered into various
groups, Facebook groups, LinkedIn
526
:groups various groups and hashtags.
527
:There's a group for just about
every interest, and so with that,
528
:there's an opportunity for you to
capitalize on that shared interest
529
:that you have and make money.
530
:In our last episode, we
talked about several of those
531
:opportunities we talked about.
532
:The education economy.
533
:We talked about the service economy,
and we talked about the product economy
534
:and your ability to sell e-commerce
products, your ability to sell.
535
:A solo service that you may provide or,
or may be good at providing and how that's
536
:a, quick and fast way to start making
money when you're just getting going,
537
:homeschooling, being able to do your
side hu hustle, offering and service.
538
:And then ultimately being able
to really capitalize on expertise
539
:that you may have five years
experience in by creating digital.
540
:Products or creating a one-on-one or
group coaching program or something
541
:of that, that nature to capitalize
on the e-learning world of things.
542
:And so in this step, we talk about making
more money and increasing your income, and
543
:that is just so powerful to combine both.
544
:The, the, the financial maximization
and optimization so that you become
545
:financially fit, but then also from
there also we're here to help you
546
:increase your money in step number for
of the homeschool money makeover system.
547
:And just because of.
548
:Our experience in that is
exactly just how we are living.
549
:We attract a lot of people who
they wanna be in that step.
550
:They want, they want that help.
551
:And so it's super fun to work with
people, but we also take it to
552
:the next level because since they
don't want that nine to five job,
553
:they have to work out this career.
554
:Especially after the pandemic.
555
:'cause you know, before the pandemic you
had people homeschooling like us who.
556
:We're co we're making their
life intentional to where they
557
:could homeschool, and it was
still more counter-cultural.
558
:But now since after the home,
after the pandemic, people were
559
:having to make that career change.
560
:They're having to decide, well, I already
put all these years into this career,
561
:but it's not conducive to homeschooling.
562
:Like whenever me and the kids go and we
go to the dentist, we go to the doctor,
563
:we go to restaurants, you see it, people
are always talking to us and they're like.
564
:The, you know, the waitresses, the
doctors, everybody's always asking
565
:us, how can I be at home with my kids?
566
:And our dental hygienist said
she was crying and she's sitting
567
:there and I got the kids there.
568
:It gets uncomfortable sometimes.
569
:She's telling me because she has a
son that's the same age, it's our son.
570
:And she's like, I can't
be a hygienist at home.
571
:Right.
572
:Yeah, I gotta do something different.
573
:But she already put all
this time in, right?
574
:And so she ends up finding
another opportunity.
575
:She's not a hygienist anymore.
576
:She's gone doing something else of, we're
sad about that because we loved her.
577
:Yeah.
578
:But I'm happy for her.
579
:Because now she's gonna be on the
path to being able to be with her son.
580
:And every single time we were in
that room for the kids' appointments.
581
:'cause you know, with five
kids, we live at all these
582
:doctor appointments and stuff.
583
:That's right.
584
:Yeah.
585
:And she's in there, the kids are like, you
know, another person crying with mommy.
586
:Yeah.
587
:Telling me their life story.
588
:Yeah.
589
:And wondering how they can figure it out.
590
:And so.
591
:That is where a lot of people are.
592
:A big number of people are having to
change things and listen that they
593
:thought they had figured out and listen.
594
:That and yeah, and listen.
595
:That's why we have
created homeschool money.
596
:I know.
597
:Because have that conversation
and to help you transition and
598
:transition, well, that's the word.
599
:Your skills into something.
600
:A vehicle that can help you make
money from home and maximize your.
601
:Income potential in a way that also
gives you the time freedom, the energy
602
:and all of that in order to show up
for your kids and homeschool 'em well,
603
:but you know what else that people
talk to us about that we cover in that
604
:same module is all the free money.
605
:Free Money Free.
606
:That's right.
607
:Free Money Frees just like a bonus.
608
:I mean, that should be its own module, but
we just put it, you know, we're, we're,
609
:we're handling that topic in this module
'cause it just made sense to talk about.
610
:New money and income opportunities
in this module, but that's
611
:really like its own thing.
612
:Just the available free
monies that are out there.
613
:3 Comm: Hey, I hope
you're enjoying the show.
614
:We'll get right back to the
discussion, but I do want to talk
615
:high level with you real quick.
616
:You see, transforming your
finances so you can self-fund your
617
:homeschooling journey without a nine
to five job takes a roadmap, right?
618
:And you may be wondering,
where do I even start?
619
:Start at step one.
620
:Our Homeschool Money Makeover
program breaks it down into five
621
:practical steps that help any family
achieve a financially abundant.
622
:Homeschooling lifestyle.
623
:Step one, install the
abundance Operating system.
624
:Most people believe that they
need two, nine to five jobs to
625
:make it in America the truth.
626
:With all the technology and the tools
available today, there's never been an
627
:easier time to generate six figures.
628
:A year in income working just 15
to 20 hours a week than today.
629
:When you have a strong why for
homeschooling and you know the
630
:real costs, you unlock the courage
that you need to become a money
631
:magnet without a nine to five job.
632
:Step two, get crystal clear about what
you're gonna do with your first $1,000
633
:that you make outside of your day job.
634
:Write down specific homeschool needs
that a thousand dollars can cover.
635
:Yes, this is a small amount, but if
you can learn how to set a target
636
:of make your first thousand dollars
outside of your nine to five job,
637
:that's going to set a fire in your belly
and the determination that you need.
638
:To make the next a
hundred thousand dollars.
639
:Step three, find all the money
falling through the cracks in
640
:your budget with Crystal's.

:Three financial coaching certifications.
642
:Listen, she's gonna help you be able to
streamline your budget and free up money
643
:without sacrificing your favorite things.
644
:You can't build a strong financial
future with money falling
645
:through your pockets, right?
646
:So let's plug up the leaks.
647
:Step four.
648
:Discover new ways to make money
and claim free money available
649
:for homeschooling families.
650
:We discuss grants scholarships,
proven fundraising opportunities

659
:financially empowered than ever before.
660
:You'll gain the momentum that

661
:when you're making more money.

:You're going to feel
unstoppable financially.

678
:Don't wait.
679
:Go to homeschool money.com
680
:to start the free class and enroll
into the full program today.
681
:Because like I said, most homeschool
families, they've already looked at
682
:the money, they've already figured
out their, their, how they're
683
:gonna kind of do it basically.
684
:And then they just get to this point
where's I just need some more money.
685
:Right.
686
:And so, right.
687
:We just need them some more.
688
:Yeah, some more.
689
:And so a little bit claustrophobic
with the current budget, you
690
:know, we need some new budgets.
691
:Exactly.
692
:And so.
693
:Yeah, there's a lot of
people because of who we are.
694
:Yeah.
695
:That like talking to us
because of our experience.
696
:But then they also wanna know our
experience about how to give free money,
697
:and they wanna know about the, the money.
698
:Especially here in Texas, there's new
money that's coming with the ESAs.
699
:Well, they already have
that in other states.
700
:And so people want that, the
free money in their state.
701
:They want free federal money.
702
:They want money that comes from
nonprofits and foundations.
703
:They want money that they can get from
contests and just other giveaways.
704
:Mm-hmm.
705
:They, they want to know.
706
:Where to get the free money, the free
resources and things, because they've
707
:pinched those pennies and you know
those nickels as far as they can go.
708
:And then they just want that extra support
and there's a lot of support out there.
709
:And so they want some
guidance on how to do it.
710
:And then they want that not only
from K through 12, they also wanna
711
:know how to get money for college.
712
:And since I was able personally to get
a full ride to college, and we've both
713
:been able to get scholarships for college
to continue from bachelor's to master's
714
:to doctoral degrees and things like
that that we're working on, you know,
715
:they want to know how to take their
kids' education all the way through
716
:college and get that extra support.
717
:And so that in this module we go into
all that and have, that's why we have
718
:episodes coming out here on this podcast.
719
:But in our system, we handle that there.
720
:And there's a lot of parents that are like
us and they have kids in different ranges.
721
:You may have the 5-year-old that needs.
722
:Some Activ, some a Zoom membership.
723
:And then you may have the 15-year-old
that needs the dual credit and you
724
:may have the 18-year-old that needs
money for college, like directly
725
:going to university or something.
726
:And so there's just a lot of things that
you need to pay for and there's a lot
727
:of resources there, and you need a plan.
728
:So again, every single one of these
modules is my favorite, as you can tell.
729
:That's right.
730
:That's right.
731
:And finally, to put a nice cherry
on top of this entire program and.
732
:And, and also just this conversation
because we're talking about these
733
:steps and they're because they're
in the course, but these are also
734
:the things that we truly believe
will help you radically transform.
735
:Your finances and your career to
optimize your financial abundance
736
:as a homeschooling family.
737
:And so that brings us to step number
five, module number five and that
738
:is magnetic money Multiplication.
739
:Learn how to scale up
your money making success.
740
:So this is a game changing model module.
741
:And lessons include the homeschool
money, CEO formula number two, from
742
:side hustle to sustainable profits.
743
:And number three, the Time
Rich Money Smart plan.
744
:And so in this module, I'm not
gonna say it, but I am gonna say
745
:it, it's one of my favorites, right?
746
:Because.
747
:I love the, I love
planning, I love systems.
748
:I love processes, I love rhythms.
749
:This module is where
we talk about all that.
750
:So if you have your budget, well,
you're the queen of all of that,
751
:and you do it for our lives.
752
:I mean, that, that's what you do.
753
:I mean, down to a list, a daily, literally
a daily list of things to do for me.
754
:It's, it's just one of the, the
really great ways that you are just
755
:been a blessing to me and giving
me a daily list of things to do.
756
:Certainly that's something that I
could, can and should be doing for
757
:myself, but you do it for me and
you even make 'em in pretty colors.
758
:And I absolutely love seeing my
list of things to do at my desk
759
:every day because as you always say
if you just are able to get three,
760
:the best CEOs, the most effective
CEOs, if they could just get three.
761
:Things done in a day.
762
:They've done their jobs well.
763
:Yeah.
764
:I love working with you and being
able to be on the same path and
765
:have leave my love notes and mm-hmm.
766
:You know, leave the little hearts
and the colors and everything and
767
:just know that we're on the same
page going towards the same goals.
768
:And so that just takes organization
and being on the same page.
769
:And so now one of my favorite things is.
770
:With the kids, how we've created
the SOPs, the standard operating
771
:procedures for all the different things
that we need to happen in the house.
772
:It's just a fun activity.
773
:And they love it.
774
:They love having order.
775
:They love knowing what to expect.
776
:They know they love when we
say, Hey, it's dinner time, and
777
:you are the chef in the family.
778
:Mm-hmm.
779
:And so, hey, when Daddy says.
780
:It is time y'all hit the dinnertime, SOP
and make sure all y'all stuff is ready.
781
:I love that.
782
:It's like one of those marble runs.
783
:I love that, you know, the,
everything working together, but
784
:that's what is the secret to making
everything work and be productive is.
785
:You need to have a way to know
that you're gonna get it all done.
786
:Yeah.
787
:That's what everybody wants to know.
788
:How do I homeschool?
789
:How do I actually run
a business from home?
790
:Or if you have a remote
job, how do you get it done?
791
:Yeah.
792
:Everybody's asking the same question
no matter what you're doing.
793
:And so in this module, we talk
about the what to delegate, what
794
:to, you know, outsource what?
795
:To just eliminate what To
start, stop, keep what?
796
:Who to hire, where to hire somebody.
797
:How to incorporate AI to be helpful.
798
:All these different things that help
you create a home that is organized
799
:enough so that you have the time to run
a business so that you have the time
800
:to have business meetings with your
partner who is your spouse, and you know.
801
:Be able to meet with your kids and
have them on the same page and want
802
:to have a home that is running.
803
:All the things that that come
with that is in this module,
804
:and that's how we multiply.
805
:Because if you have a side hustle
right now and you've shown that people
806
:will buy from you, then you can turn
that into a sustainable business.
807
:If you just had more organization, more
help a team or just outsourcing or.
808
:Just more vision for where
you want to take that.
809
:If you already have something small
that's working, it could go bigger.
810
:So a lot of families already have
the resources they need to be able
811
:to free themselves up to homeschool,
and they just need that direction.
812
:A lot of times that comes by first, like
in sex section four, being able to know
813
:how to set up a business that maximizes
their profits and then supplement that
814
:business with all the free money, but
then also having all the home systems.
815
:That allow them to have the
time to even think about it.
816
:Yeah.
817
:So all of these systems, so
together, so this, so like this,
818
:step number five, you know, you have
a master's degree in life coaching.
819
:Okay.
820
:And as far as like you've read, probably.
821
:At least probably a hundred books on
management business management, management
822
:in in companies time management for CEOs
you know, traction you know, E-S-E-O-S.
823
:You have read.
824
:All about being an entrepreneur and the
best operating systems for running a
825
:business, scaling up a business, managing
your time, and being super pro productive.
826
:And that is what Step five is all about.
827
:Because if you have a plan, if and if
we help you fix up your sales funnel.
828
:And help you plan your lunch in step
number four for your dream business.
829
:But you wake up on Monday morning
after we've laid everything out on
830
:the previous week and you're hit with.
831
:All of the fires that you have to put out
on a daily basis with running a household
832
:of full of kids and homeschooling and,
you know tending to, to house and home and
833
:to your husband or wife and all of your
family and your in-laws and all the things
834
:that there are to doing a day likely.
835
:You're going to be frustrated months
down the line when you've not even
836
:cracked open the first step in executing
on the plan that you have on paper.
837
:So that plan would be
worth nothing to you.
838
:If you have not set aside
the time to implement it.
839
:And so step number five is critical
because it is like the delivery system
840
:for everything that we have talked
about and helped you set up before.
841
:And steps number three
and steps number four.
842
:It helps to ensure that you execute
on what you have learned and what
843
:you have planned and all of that
through this course, up to this point.
844
:And a big thing that we talk about
as well is energy management.
845
:Mm-hmm.
846
:Because when you talk about how are you
gonna get it all done, how are you gonna
847
:have the energy to get it all done?
848
:Even if you have an amazing
plan and everything looks great
849
:on paper, if you have not.
850
:Build your life to where you can get the
sleep you need, the re, the exercise you
851
:need, the nutrition you need, and just
like the take care of the mental load
852
:of life and all the emotional things
that happen and creating the margin
853
:for unexpected grief or something.
854
:You know, if you haven't thought about
those things, then whatever plans you have
855
:on paper are not going to work anyway.
856
:And we've experienced that.
857
:We've had to be here, we've
been married 23 years.
858
:And we have gone through a lot of things.
859
:Yeah.
860
:And we have still had to consistently
show up in a, in a industry online
861
:that is constantly changing.
862
:Yeah.
863
:So you're constantly changing and
having to go to funerals, having to,
864
:you know, deal with all the issues.
865
:Of, you know, having kids and raising
kids and all the things going on
866
:in the world and all the things
that just happen personally, and
867
:how do you stay consistently on
your path without breaking down and
868
:getting completely out of the game.
869
:And so you can actually predict when
someone is on the path to burnout.
870
:And I remember talking to someone,
one of our clients, and saying, Hey,
871
:look, on this path you're on, you are.
872
:Expected and predicted to have
a major health crisis from
873
:burnout within like two years.
874
:Yeah.
875
:Like this stuff is predictable.
876
:Mm-hmm.
877
:And so in this module we talk about,
yeah, let's get the system, but the
878
:person running the system has to be okay.
879
:And we're constantly talking
about that kind of stuff because.
880
:Everything always is changing
Whenever you're having kids and
881
:whenever you're, they, they have all
their different stages of growth.
882
:The family is, is constantly changing
and so that's why I love this module here
883
:because we have been able to implement
a lot of things that have been effective
884
:and we've been able to help people and
help them have effective experiences.
885
:Mm-hmm.
886
:And so it's super important your
energy and your plan, they have to work
887
:together, be so that you don't end up.
888
:Feeling guilty because you had a plan you
couldn't implement because you got hit.
889
:Mm-hmm.
890
:Or because you just couldn't even show up.
891
:That's right.
892
:And so that's what I like about that.
893
:That's right.
894
:So this is a, a full system and
whether you were to invest into the
895
:system or not, or if you just take
these steps and understand that.
896
:Your homeschool money makeover requires
you thinking about all of these things.
897
:It requires, it's likely gonna require
you getting real about the cost of
898
:homeschooling so that you actually know
what you're actually up against and
899
:what you're facing when you're making
the decision to decide to homeschool.
900
:It's not just free education.
901
:There's a cost and a price
to pay with, with free.
902
:And so it is moving on to step number two.
903
:And, and going through the ex
exercise of maximizing $1,000, which
904
:will prepare you to be a better
money manager and a better steward.
905
:Of a $1,000 a month or $1,500 a month, or
$2,000 a month budget for your, for your
906
:children or, or $500 a month budget for
your children going through that exercise.
907
:And step number two is gonna help you be
better with that, and that prepares you
908
:then for step number three, which is full
scale all out getting financially fit,
909
:learning how to count every single dollar.
910
:Set aside your emergency fund build
savings, get on a, a path towards
911
:a, a, a well thought out investment
program and protecting what you
912
:have with the proper insurances and
making sure that your family's okay
913
:and making sure that you're set up.
914
:To build true legacy wealth,
even without being a person who
915
:makes a million dollars a year.
916
:You can do that if you go about
it and you follow the steps.
917
:Step number four.
918
:If you then take the skills that you
have been using in the marketplace and
919
:you bring those and you wanna homeschool
and, but you don't mind starting a, a
920
:part-time business or side hustle you
can do that and you can do that with
921
:the frameworks that we give you, which
are very streamlined and efficient.
922
:There's just a few things that
you need, and if you keep.
923
:These things in mind, these steps in mind.
924
:You'll build an an efficient sales
funnel process, pipeline process to
925
:generate leads in your business venture
and convert those leads into sales.
926
:That's called a sales funnel.
927
:When you are, whenever you're doing that,
that's some businesses call it a pipeline,
928
:you can use those interchangeably.
929
:But that's the world that
I live in, is sales phones.
930
:I live.
931
:The last 17 years in a sales funnel with
the 300 different clients that I've worked
932
:with, entrepreneurs that I've worked with,
and helping them launch and streamline
933
:their sales funnels for maximizing
lead generation sales potential.
934
:And so that's what you're gonna
have to be thinking about.
935
:If you're talking about building a
business for yourself, whether it's a
936
:self-employment thing or you, you plan
on building a bigger business with
937
:more staff and employees involved.
938
:And then step number five, which is
all about making the time in your
939
:schedule and being able to show up
with the energy that it will take in
940
:order to do steps one through four.
941
:Right?
942
:The steps, the, the,
the having the energy.
943
:To become financially fit and having the
energy to build your business, you won't
944
:get it done if you don't have the energy.
945
:And if you don't make the time in your
schedule, your daily schedule, your
946
:real life we all know life, be life in.
947
:And if you don't make the real time
in your schedule on a daily basis
948
:to do that, it will not happen.
949
:And so that's everything
you need to think about.
