Stop believing the lie that you
have to choose between being
2
:rich in time or rich in money.
3
:Today's affirmation will show you how
to build wealth because you prioritize
4
:time with your kids, not in spite of it.
5
:A fast growing number of parents are
starting their homeschooling journey while
6
:others have been homeschooling for years.
7
:All of these parents are asking one big
question, how can I afford to homeschool?
8
:We are here to answer that
important question once and for all.
9
:Hi, I'm Crystal Obby.
10
:And I'm Anthony Obby.
11
:We've been homeschooling our five
kids for 13 years and we funded it.
12
:Through our online consulting business
that we've been running for over 17
13
:years now, we're combining Crystal's
financial coaching expertise with my
14
:digital marketing background where I help
entrepreneurs launch and sell online.
15
:We're here to help fellow homeschooling
parents self-fund their homeschool
16
:journey and create lifestyle businesses.
17
:For financial freedom without a nine to
five job, are you ready to start living
18
:life on your own terms and make your
homeschooling experience a lot more fun?
19
:Well then sit back, crank up
the volume, and enjoy this
20
:episode of Homeschool Money.
21
:Hello guys.
22
:I'm so happy to be with
you on the show today.
23
:I'm Anthony Oby.
24
:I'm Crystal Oby.
25
:Our affirmation for today is I
am a time rich wealth builder.
26
:I'm gonna read it to
you so that you have it.
27
:Today's affirmation is I am
a time rich wealth builder.
28
:It goes.
29
:I create wealth while being
present for my children.
30
:My income grows as my children
grow, and I model financial success
31
:and intentional living every day.
32
:I become more financially
abundant while remaining the
33
:hands-on parent I choose to be.
34
:This affirmation is powerful because
it positions your children as witnesses
35
:to your success, not casualties of it.
36
:When you model that wealth and presence
can coexist, you teach your children
37
:that they never have to choose between
financial success and family values.
38
:They can have both.
39
:Okay, let's repeat that affirmation.
40
:I create wealth while being
present for my children.
41
:My income grows as my children
grow, and I model financial success
42
:and intentional living every day.
43
:I become more financially
abundant while remaining the
44
:hands-on parent I choose to be.
45
:As we were preparing for this affirmation,
we were discussing the story of the
46
:time where our son and our daughter
were having one of their conversations,
47
:probably playing with some Legos
and drawing some pictures and just,
48
:you know how they like to hang out.
49
:Yeah.
50
:And our daughter, who is an artist, loves
to dance, loves to sing, loves to create,
51
:and she was talking about how when she
grows up, she wants to have her own.
52
:Dance studio and she wants to teach
people how to dance and she just
53
:wants to be able to have time to
dance and also do all her art.
54
:And it was so incredible because I
heard my son say, yes, you can do that,
55
:but make sure that you do some online
classes so that you can make sure to have
56
:time to be able to be at home and nurse
your babies and just be with your kids.
57
:And you know how it is when
you're watching kids have
58
:like adult conversations.
59
:Yeah.
60
:And they're just so like,
matter of fact, yeah.
61
:And he's like, he, he did not have
a problem at all with her talking
62
:about owning her own business at the
same time having her own children.
63
:It was just like such a reality.
64
:He didn't say, oh, how are you
gonna do this at the same time?
65
:And how, you know, he was just like.
66
:This is how it can work.
67
:Yes, you can be at home with your kids
and you can be a great mother, and you can
68
:be a great teacher and make all the money
you wanna make, and you can still dance
69
:yourself, but this is how it can work.
70
:And I was like, you know what?
71
:That was one of them moments.
72
:I was like, you know what?
73
:We're, we're doing okay.
74
:We're doing okay.
75
:Yeah.
76
:It's working.
77
:It is working.
78
:Yeah.
79
:Because he just, it was such
a clean conversation and she
80
:was like, oh yeah, of course.
81
:You know?
82
:Right, right.
83
:Of course.
84
:Right.
85
:And just the.
86
:The ebb and flow of knowing that,
you know, on some days she, she
87
:can't have her own dance studio and
be there and be it with the kids.
88
:She's gonna have to have help.
89
:She's gonna have to hire other dancers.
90
:She's gonna have to have a, a manager.
91
:I mean, she's gonna have to be a
business woman in order to also be
92
:the mother that she wants to be.
93
:Yeah.
94
:And to be the mother that she wants to be.
95
:She needs to know what she likes to do.
96
:Yeah.
97
:And how she likes to do it because she
was very clear that she wants to still
98
:be able to dance when she wants to.
99
:And help other people in person,
like just the feeling you get when
100
:you're dancing with other people.
101
:But she knew that teaching would be
an unlock for her to be able to keep
102
:a certain level of income as well.
103
:So just that comprehensive view
of her future, how she can do
104
:what she likes, but make it work.
105
:Not in a way that is
like just so idealistic.
106
:Yeah, it's very strategic.
107
:Yeah.
108
:Our son, how he was
able to see it himself.
109
:I was like, oh man, they're, they're
gonna be okay and we're doing okay.
110
:And the world is right right now.
111
:That was really good.

:They'll be glad you did.
118
:Now, back to the show.
119
:Okay.
120
:Welcome back guys.
121
:I'm going to repeat the affirmation.
122
:I create wealth while being
present for my children.
123
:My income grows as my children
grow, and I model financial success
124
:and intentional living every day.
125
:I become more financially
abundant while remaining the
126
:hands-on parent I choose to be.
127
:Many parents resist this because
they fear that pursuing wealth
128
:will make them absent or selfish.
129
:There's often guilt around wanting
more money when you already have
130
:the privilege of homeschooling.
131
:This guilt keeps you playing small when
your children need to see you playing big.
132
:And I think that's really interesting.
133
:When PE we talk about the privilege
of homeschooling, many people will
134
:say, oh, you get to homeschool.
135
:What a privilege.
136
:Well, the privilege.
137
:Is actually an intentional
decision because everyone can have
138
:the opportunity to homeschool.
139
:They just may have to homeschool
in the way that they can.
140
:And so it just looks
different for everyone.
141
:And so if it homeschooling is the
opportunity that you wanna take.
142
:Then you're just gonna have to
look at your own life and see what
143
:do we need to make work, right?
144
:And so a lot of people will think,
oh, it just falls into place easily.
145
:But everything that we teach here
on this show is all about being
146
:intentional and all about finding
the resources that are necessary for
147
:the seasonal life that you're in.
148
:It's gonna look different for someone
who's working from home in a remote job.
149
:That is homeschooling than it is
for someone who's running a company.
150
:And there are some moms that listen to our
show, where their husbands work remote.
151
:In a job and they may have a side
business that's a, a business that they
152
:have a passion for that's not too big,
but it does enough for their family
153
:to let them be able to stay home.
154
:And then we have some people
that they're running a business
155
:together as a couple or, you know.
156
:There's just lots of opportunities
and, and ways that you can be
157
:working from home and homeschooling.
158
:Some of our listeners travel and
they are on the road homeschooling.
159
:Yeah, and so then they're international.
160
:Yeah.
161
:Everyone's not just in one
location, and so the privilege
162
:of homeschooling is not just.
163
:It just fell into their lap.
164
:The families that listen to our
show, they assess what are our family
165
:values, what's important to us, and
what's important to us right now.
166
:Because even traveling
is a different priority.
167
:During different seasons, whenever,
you know, we were pregnant and had.
168
:I had these different health issues.
169
:We couldn't get around
as much as we wanted to.
170
:We had to stay close to Dallas because we
needed to be close to my, my medical team.
171
:And so we couldn't be all, you know, globe
trodden and world travelers and everything
172
:because we needed to protect my life.
173
:Yeah.
174
:And so.
175
:Some people are able to travel
and they have the older teenagers.
176
:And so now that our kids are getting
older, we're able to get out more.
177
:And so it's all about the values that you
want to focus on and the intentionality
178
:that you want to have that makes all
the difference of how your life is.
179
:And so your kids need to see that
you are going after the things that
180
:you want in life, and you're doing
it in a way that is strategic and.
181
:You are able to have a fulfilling life
while you're enjoying homeschooling them.
182
:You're not sacrificing everything
to be able to homeschool them, and
183
:you're also not limiting yourself
financially in order to homeschool them.
184
:If you listen to this show, you'll
find lots of resources on how to
185
:actually increase your income while
having more time to be able to
186
:enjoy the opportunity to homeschool.
187
:That's right.
188
:So let's repeat the affirmation again.
189
:I create wealth while being
present for my children.
190
:My income grows as my children
grow, and I model financial
191
:success and intentional living.
192
:Every day.
193
:I become more financially
abundant while remaining the
194
:hands-on parent I choose to be.
195
:Listen guys, your children are
learning more from watching you build
196
:wealth with integrity than they ever
could from a textbook about success.
197
:Every dollar you create while
honoring your family values is a
198
:lesson in possibility impossibility.
199
:I hope that you saw that and caught
that in the story that Crystal shared
200
:earlier about the conversation between.
201
:Our our girl and our oldest girl.
202
:And our oldest boy, you're not just
homeschooling them, you're modeling,
