Her recent book: Dominate Your Sport – The 90-Day Comprehensive Performance Journal for Female Athletes has exploded onto the charts in multiple categories including: Sports Training, Health Fitness & Dieting, and Women's Health. Stacey teaches athletes, coaches, trainers, and parents The F.I.X. CODE technique for staying in the present and removing emotional attachments from their past performances, allowing them to gain a significant edge over their competitors. Stacey's first exposure to excellence took place at a young age. Her family's Montreal home was the scene of frequent national and international meetings of the most amazing influencers in gymnastics and wrestling as they prepared for the 1976 Olympic Games. Those scenes are indelibly etched in her mind and became the foundation for her values and goals in life. A former Canadian National 1 competitive gymnast herself, Stacey knows what it takes to rise through the ranks to excel in sports. Her brilliant, logistical mind led her to event planning on a massive scale–4 Olympic Games, Pan Am and Commonwealth Games then on to the G-20, G-8, G-7 conferences, working for some of the most powerful people in the political arena at the time.In order to bring this to the next generation of athletes and youth, Stacey had to personally experience its every facet and nuance. It has taken her years and lots of learning's though her commitment and belief in the F.I.X. CODE technique never wavers. With her undeniable passion and determination to inspire and support athletes and high achievers with their fears, anxiety, and those horrible feelings of mental self-sabotage. As she once suffered from a fear of heights, as a gymnast, she knows the challenges and pain that athletes go through each and every day…during tryouts, practices, and competitions. Experiencing the F.I.X. CODE is a gift… To learn it, and it becomes a gift that just keeps on giving. Connect with Stacey NyeWebsite: https://thefixcode.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefixcodeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFixCodeTechnique Connect with Barb!Chat with Barb https://calendly.com/barbvFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKidFactor/ | https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidfactorfamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekidfactorofficial/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barb-v-81497547/Thank you so much for joining us today!If you enjoyed this episode, please submit a rating and review and share it with a friend.

Join Barb for this powerful episode as she walks you through the simple business plan that she designs with her young entrepreneurs ages 6 through 76.  A business plan serves as a crucial roadmap for entrepreneurs and business owners, guiding them through the various stages of starting, managing, and growing their ventures. Its importance lies in several key areas:Clarity of Vision: A business plan helps crystallize the vision and mission of the business. It outlines the objectives, goals, and strategies necessary to achieve success. By defining the purpose and direction of the business, it provides clarity for the entrepreneur.Strategic Planning: A well-developed business plan includes a detailed information. Understanding the market landscape helps identify opportunities and challenges, allowing your business to position itself effectively.Resource Allocation: Business plans outline the financial requirements, including startup costs, operational expenses, and revenue projections. They help entrepreneurs determine the amount of money needed and allocate resources efficiently. By forecasting financial performance, businesses can mitigate risks and make informed decisions about investments and expenditures.Communication Tool: A business plan serves as a communication tool for external stakeholders, including investors, lenders, partners, and employees. It articulates the value proposition of the business and demonstrates its potential for growth and profitability. A well-crafted business plan enhances credibility and fosters trust among stakeholders, facilitating collaboration and support.Performance Evaluation: They enable entrepreneurs to track performance against predetermined goals and make necessary adjustments to strategies and tactics. Regularly reviewing and updating the business plan ensures alignment with evolving market dynamics and business objectives.Decision Making: Business plans provide a framework for making informed decisions about expansion, diversification, and exit strategies. They help entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities and assess the feasibility of new initiatives. By aligning decisions with the overarching business strategy, entrepreneurs can optimize resource utilization and maximize returns on investment.In summary, a business plan serves as a fluid document that guides your strategic planning, resource allocation, risk management, communication, performance evaluation, and decision making. It is an indispensable tool for entrepreneurs seeking to establish and sustain successful ventures in today's dynamic business environment. Connect with Barb!Chat with Barb https://calendly.com/barbvLinktree: https://thekidfactor.fun/linktreeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKidFactor/ | https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidfactorfamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekidfactorofficial/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barb-v-81497547/Thank you so much for joining us today!If you enjoyed this episode, please submit a rating and review and share it with a friend.

In this episode of The Kid Factor, Barb delves into a topic close to every parent's heart: nurturing financial independence in their children. A recent survey reveals that 9 out of 10 parents prioritize financial independence for their children's adulthood, making it a top concern.We begin by exploring the significance of financial independence and the long-term benefits of early financial education. Recognizing the impact of such education on a child's future, Barb shares insights on why starting early is key.The episode unfolds with actionable steps tailored for different age groups, ranging from 6 to 26. For the youngest, we discuss foundational steps like introducing money through play and establishing basic financial skills and experiences. As the age group progresses, topics shift to budgeting, savings accounts, part-time work, and even discussions about investments.For the older age brackets, we address more advanced concepts such as responsible credit card use, discussions on student loans and college funding, and encouragement for entrepreneurship and side hustles/gigs. The ultimate goal is to equip your children with the tools needed for financial success as they transition to adulthood.Throughout the episode, Barb emphasizes the importance of family meetings, communication, and shared experiences.

My passion lies in education, eliminating stigma, and connecting families with the right resources. I've actively lobbied on Capitol Hill, established a supportive speaking community for clients and family members, and provided training to first responders. I'm always eager to listen, learn, share resources, and educate in this critical area. I'm dedicated to empowering individuals to craft their own Life by Design. Often, we settle in our careers and relationships, accepting what we think life has in store for us. I refuse to settle, and I encourage you not to either!My journey began with owning Domino's Pizza Stores and raising a family in Maine. In 2011, we moved to Las Vegas, but I quickly realized that I thrive on challenge and growth. This led me to become a Realtor, where I helped people buy and sell homes. Yet, I yearned for more – more freedom to travel and spend time with my children and grandchildren, more opportunity to leave a lasting legacy, and more ways to help others become the best version of themselves.Now, I reside in Gulfport, MS, and I relish the freedom to work on my terms, which includes roles in leadership, coaching, consulting, real estate, and real estate investments. I'm also privileged to serve as the Managing Director of the Gulf Coast, MS Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse, where I connect remarkable, action-oriented women to foster personal and professional growth.Huber Legacy Encompasses:• Vice President of Sales at eAgent• Capital Lending Partner (Business Purpose Lending)• Managing Director of Gulf Coast PDP• Business Builder• Real Estate Investor• Realtor• Mental Health Advocate• Host of Gulf Coast Real Estate Investors Association• Digital Branch Office Banking Manager Connect with Jennifer L Huber!Website: https://jenniferlhuber.com/ Connect with Barb!Host of #1 Rated The Kid Factor Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kid-factor/id1707462012Linktree: https://thekidfactor.fun/linktreeWebsite: https://www.thekidfactor.fun/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKidFactor/ | https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidfactorfamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekidfactorofficial/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barb-v-81497547/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW9_PtybHaqXMrKFh8pId8wIF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW IS STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES... YOU"RE NOT ALONE>>>Website: https://www.nami.org/HomePhone: NAMI HELPLINE 800-950-6264 or TEXT "helpline" to 62640In 2020, the nation took a significant step forward with the enactment of the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, a bill NAMI advocated for that created a nationwide three-digit number (988) to assist people experiencing a mental health or suicidal crisis. This number is now available in communities across the country.NAMI recognizes that other organizations have drawn distinctions between what diagnoses are considered “mental health conditions” as opposed to “mental illnesses.” We intentionally use the terms “mental health conditions” and “mental illness/es” interchangeably.A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feelings, behavior, or mood. These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others. If you have — or think you might have — a mental illness, the first thing you must know is that you are not alone. Mental health conditions are far more common than you think, mainly because people don't like to, or are scared to, talk about them. However:1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24A mental health condition isn't the result of one event. Research suggests multiple, linking causes. Genetics, environment, and lifestyle influence whether someone develops a mental health condition. A stressful job or home life makes some people more susceptible, as do traumatic life events. Biochemical processes and circuits and basic brain structure may play a role, too.None of this means that you're broken or that you, or your family, did something “wrong.” Mental illness is no one's fault. And for many people, recovery — including meaningful roles in social life, school, and work — is possible, especially when you start treatment early and play a strong role in your own recovery process.THERE'S HELP & HOPE…Thank you so much for joining us today!If you enjoyed this episode, please submit a rating and review and share it with a friend.

My understanding of these dynamics and love for people have led to developing large international marketing teams that have acquired hundreds of thousands of customers for multiple companies, participating in several thriving business projects, traveling the world to aid in social relief efforts, and sharing my journey of passionate and purposeful living with others.As a speaker and entrepreneur, I enjoy weaving together relevant information, light-hearted humor, and creative examples to expand minds, touch hearts, and ignite spirits. I hope to impart to others the core principles, psychologies, and philosophies behind strengthening their social brand existence, developing their social credibility, and engaging with the next generation. This will not only accelerate their growth today but also position them to be effective and relevant for years to come. I love enabling, equipping, and empowering those I connect with to feel more energized, focused, confident, and ready to make a powerful social impact! Connect with Cristin Ludlow!Website: https://www.bigdog.petclub247.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristinludlow/ Connect with Barb!Host of #1 Rated The Kid Factor Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kid-factor/id1707462012Linktree: https://thekidfactor.fun/linktreeWebsite: https://www.thekidfactor.fun/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheKidFactor/ | https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidfactorfamilyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekidfactorofficial/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barb-v-81497547/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW9_PtybHaqXMrKFh8pId8w Thank you so much for joining us today!If you enjoyed this episode, please submit a rating and review and share it with a friend.
