Crystalee Beck is the Founder of Comma Copywriters and The Mama Ladder. She describes herself as a proud mama to three cute mess makers with a  passion for building businesses. She had a corporate marketing job and when presented with the chance, she decided that she didn't want to miss her children's childhood and started her first company. Like many of us, she takes care of her children and follows her passion while using her creativity. We are talking about her journey to being a business owner, her companies, and our thoughts around “mom guilt”. This episode is a must-listen for all the mamas! Let's talk about finding work that fuels your purpose and ridding ourselves of that “mom guilt” nonsense!  What we're talking about The Journey From The Corporate World To Being A Business Owner How Crystalee Launched Two Businesses The Mama Ladder & How It Supports Mom-Owned Businesses Thoughts On “Mom Guilt” The Journey From The Corporate World To Being A Business Owner  Crystalee explains that she had been questioning what work would look like with motherhood. After being laid off on her return to work following the birth of her first child, she had the chance to figure things out. She considered what motherhood looked like, what her life looked like, and what mattered to her. Crystalee had always admired women who started their own companies but was terrified of doing it herself. She decided that she wasn't going to miss her children's childhood, but she needed to make money. Taking her skillset and her network, she created her first business, Comma Copywriters. In the last four years, she has built that business to twenty writers and editors and two sales members, and the growth is exciting. Crystalee says it took a leap of faith and trust for her to build her team, but she believes she's not the only one with that skill set. Outsourcing has allowed them to tap into the gig economy and find so many talented writers. How Crystalee Launched Two Businesses The Comma Copywriters was Crystalee's first business. She learned what worked for herself and her company and has been able to provide flexible opportunities for others to use their talents and have more freedom to write wherever they want, wearing what they want.  Crystalee started her company with two babies, and within about six months, she was making more money than her former corporate job. She was happier and had more time to herself.  Women started approaching her and asking how she had launched a business and was so successful. She felt like she needed to share this with other mothers. So in 2017, she launched The Mama Ladder and created a community for working moms to support them on their entrepreneurial journey. The Mama Ladder & How It Supports Mom-Owned Businesses Crystalee created a company that offers retreats, workshops, and at the core is a community that meets every week called Mama Power. A tight-knit group of amazing women who are mothers committed to their children and their companies. It's a place where women understand and support each other while they go through all the trials and tribulations of having children and running a business.  The Mama Ladder is hosting the 5th round of The High Five Grant, a $5000 business grant competition, open internationally for moms who own businesses. The grant is to help you create or grow your ladder to fit your family.   Thoughts on “Mom Guilt” We’re candidly sharing our thoughts on “mom guilt”. Crystalee explains that at The Mama Ladder, they seek to normalize not feeling guilty for having goals, being yourself, and showing your children what's possible by being a business owner.  She helps moms realize that they don't have to carry this guilt around.  Crystalee is writing a book that she hopes to have ready by next summer, where one of the things she is exploring are the two types of guilt; merited and unmerited. Diving deeper, she explains that most guilt is unmerited, and it's women comparing themselves to other moms. She talks to us through various questions and thoughts to contemplate and get to the root of our feelings and beliefs of “mom guilt”. We, as moms, need to define and decide for ourselves what it is that we truly want in life and not what someone else has told us. You need to let go of those feelings of guilt. You shouldn't feel guilty about showing your kids that you show up for your work and that you show up for them. This week practice feeling good and proud about the work you are doing and the loving mom that you are. You are doing it all, and your kids are growing up to see how life should be lived. Are you ready to let go of “mom guilt” and show your children the beautiful merge of being a dedicated mother and an ambitious business owner? If you're a mom and have a business, apply for the High Five Grant. Applications are being accepted September 25 to October 16, 2020. Head over and get your application submitted!

Sadly, Jordan was out of town for this podcast, but I got the chance to talk to Crystalee Beck. Honestly, this conversation was just what I needed. All of us have moments when things get hard. When we question what we're doing, if we're going to make it, and if we're even doing the right thing. As we get closer to our move date I'm constantly questioning everything and full of fear about what the future holds. Excitement and fear. Talking with Crystalee was the reminder that I needed that things are going to be OK. We all can figure things out. Crystalee went from being laid off and scraping by on unemployment with two babies to now being in a completely different place. She now has 3 kids, two businesses, and a schedule that allows her to make time for it all. She is the founder of Comma Copywriters that provides writing services and content to businesses. And she is the co-founder of The Mama Ladder, which helps moms create their own career path. Plus she has some exciting news about a $5,000 grant they're currently offering through the Mama Ladders.

If I could use one word to sum up this week's podcast guest, Crystalee Beck's, approach to motherhood it would be "intentional."   From starting her day with what she calls her "3 Bs"--body, babies and business to regularly taking her kids on hikes to teach them about God and his creations, Crystalee strives to be intentional about everything she does in motherhood. Crystalee is happily married, and a mama to two cute kids (and one on the way!).  She and her husband just celebrated their 8th anniversary. Crystalee believes in embracing motherhood in her own way. She is passionate about helping moms balance entrepreneurship and motherhood through her business, The Mama Ladder. Show Recap Crystalee learned early in motherhood to let go of the expectations of others and instead figure out what motherhood looks like for her. The struggle has helped her learn to appreciate the sacred and special role of being a mother. She tells moms who feel weighed down with worrying about what others' think of their parenting  to remember God. She said, "He's got our back, so feel good about yourself." Crystalee has learned to be intentional and embrace motherhood in her own way by "living at the intersection of motherhood + entrepreneurship." One of the ways she accomplishes this is by creating "systems" not only for her business but also for her life as a mom. She takes anything she does more than once in any area of life and makes it into a documented process. I loved the simple but profound quote by Russell M. Nelsonthat Crystalee shared: "Love them, lead them and let them go." She is grateful for the relationship she has with God as a mother and appreciates the way He has both "guided and chided" her in being the mother He wants her to be.   Show Notes Follow Crystalee: Instagram: instagram.com/themamaladder/ Facebook: facebook.com/themamaladder/ Twitter: twitter.com/themamaladder/ Website: themamaladder.com To read the full talk the quote by Russell M.

We've all experienced a form of mom guilt in one way or another. For example, I feel guilty right now for writing this blog post instead of making donuts with Chan or cleaning the house. But I quickly check myself because I realize, I am more than just a mom. I've created something I'm proud of that has grown into a business and you never hear Bill Gates or Elon Musk talk about feeling guilty for working on their business so why do moms in business do this? That's just one of the things we're talking about this week with Crystalee Beck, Co-Founder of The Mama Ladder - a company that empowers mom entrepreneurs to take bold action with BIG heart. Create your own ladder™.  They help moms climb after business dreams that fit your family. Crystalee tells me how The Mama Ladder was built with her partner Lynette Evans as a way to help women around the world thrive at the intersection of mamahood and entrepreneurship. They offer one-on-one business mentoring as well as a plan of action to help women ditch the corporate ladder and start building a ladder to success of their choosing. When I started MIH I had no idea what I was doing. I started my podcast as way to connect with other women in my industry and meet new moms. I didn't realize that it would start to grow into a business and a movement. There are many days I feel like I can't keep up with the demands of the machine I've created but I keep pressing forward. I wish I would have had something like The Mama Ladder in my corner from the beginning. They are so proactive about helping mamas in business, that they are offering a High Five Grant to women get their feet off the ground. Crystalee tells me the it's a semi-annual $5,000 business grant empowering mom entrepreneurs to make massive impact.

"You already have within you what you need."   What's holding you back from going after a goal, business, or piece of self-improvement?  I bet you a million dollars that we can take whatever reason you'd say and get it back to the real main root: FEAR.   Crystalee Beck from The Mama Ladder is on the show to teach us about seven common fears people face on their way to success and how to overcome them.  So whether you're a mama who wants to turn her hobby into a business, an empty nester who can't get out of a rut, or a single man who can't seem to find the courage to switch careers, this episode is for you.   Listen in to hear how we can overcome fear in the form of self-doubt, fear of failure, fear of SUCCESS (yes, this is real!), fear of money, and more. Crystalee teaches that all you need to overcome your fears is already inside of you.   Additionally, Crystalee shares an incredible opportunity for a mama who wants to get a business going with the High Five Grant.

What is the perception of gratitude in the workplace? Crystalee Beck has researched this from the perspective of the employee. Through surveys, focus groups and interviews, Crystalee has learned how managers can better demonstrate gratitude at work, along with catering it to specific employee needs. In this episode of ICology, we discuss the role that gender and generations play. And while many might view gratitude as only positive, Crystalee also learned there's a dark side to appreciation.  Subscribe to ICology on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
