Karla Welch is back on the show! Karla first joined us back in 2018 on our Life Lessons mini-series to discuss her incredible styling career, her clothing brand, xKarla, and more. Since we last chatted, Karla founded The Period Company, which offers affordable period products, including reusable pads and absorbent underwear in a variety of styles and fabrics. The brand is sold at retailers such as Walmart, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon, and has donated over 1 million pairs of period underwear as part of its effort to end period poverty worldwide. In addition to her company, Karla also continues to style an enormous roster of talent including Justin Bieber and two of our favorite Barbie stars, America Ferrera and Greta Gerwig. On top of all that, she's also a MasterClass teacher, founder of the styling app Wishi, and co-founder of the creative studio The Welch's Creative.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode focuses on making money.  Regardless of whether your business is big or small, established or a start-up, you can't get away from this crucial success measure. But more than simply making money the central theme is all about the P word - PROFIT!We've all heard the horror stories of how a promising business, regardless of massive turnover, was taken out at the knees because of a lack of synergy between cash flow, pipeline and profit. In my book, The Art of the Suit, I advocate that if you don't yet have a love for numbers then you had better adopt a nurture a passion for this aspect of business discipline pretty swiftly if you wish to survive and thrive. In this episode I am very fortunate to have a highly successful, experienced and insightful author, speaker, consultant and entrepreneur, Bob Hayward, joining us to provide very succinct and valuable insights to the Profit Secret.  He is the founder of Be More Effective and the author of The Profit Secret.He covers a lot of ground but a few key takeouts are:1. Profit is the forgotten part of the sales that makes all the difference. To the customer and to the business2. Selling is NEVER about the price3. Too often we are chasing the wrong prospects4. The sale is made in the pain of the present and not the benefits of the futur5. Trust building Skills, People Skills, Questioning Skills and Listening Skills are far more important than selling skills or product knowledge6. You have to build Credibility, Relevance and Importance at all stages.7. You already know everyone you need to know to build your business as large and profitable as you wishI highly recommend that you visit https://www.bemoreeffective.com/ and subscribe for their newsletter and invitations to their webinars.  Enjoy the insights shared in this episode.  

Congressman David Scott announced the finalists of the 2022 inaugural Congressional App Challenge in Georgia's 13th District. The first-place finalists will be invited to the House of Code in Washington, D.C., where they will have the opportunity to meet with other coders and program participants from across the country. Additionally, the app will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol and on the U.S. House of Representatives' website. The First Place Finalists are Shriya Chakraborti (Chuck-ruh-vorty) and Phillip Abraham of 11th graders at Elite Scholars Academy. Their App Submission was “Wishi.” The app was designed to be a Discord bot that hosts several games and can be played with commands native to the Discord application. Games include Rock-Paper scissors, Riddles, Jokes and Truth or Dare. The app was designed using the programming language Python. According to the team, the app was inspired by online socialization, as they wanted to create a way to meet new people, start conversations and remove potential awkwardness. The Second Place Finalist is Daniel Anyanwoke (Anne-yun-woke)  an 11th grader at South Cobb High School. Daniel's App Submission was “Easy Reader.” The app was designed to be a browser attachment that applies “Dark Mode” to any website and aims to aid online reading. The app was designed using the programming language JavaScript (web). According to the designer, the app was inspired by the amount of time people spent looking at screens during the pandemic and their interest in making online reading easier and more accessible. Wheeler point guard Isaiah Collier was selected as a McDonald's All-American and will compete in the 46th annual high school all-star game March 28 at the Toyota Center in Houston. Collier became the first Cobb County boys player to make the game since McEachern's Sharife Cooper earned the honor three years ago. He is the 13th McDonald's All-American from Cobb County, the ninth boys player and the sixth player from Wheeler, joining EJ Montgomery (2018), Jaylen Brown (2015), Jelan Kendrick (2010), JJ Hickson (2007) and Shareef Abdur-Rahim (1995). Collier, who recently signed with Southern California, is one of two players from Georgia who will play in the game. He will suit up for the West team, while Newton guard Stephon Castle, a Connecticut signee, will play for the East. Collier will be teammates in the McDonald's game with Kentucky signee Reed Sheppard, Stanford signee Andrej Stojakovic (Stoy-yah-kavich) and uncommitted Bronny James — the respective sons of former Kentucky star Jeff Sheppard, former NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic (Stoy-yah-kavich) and current superstar LeBron James. Collier and Bronny James recently faced off when Wheeler traveled to Los Angeles to play Sierra Canyon in the Chosen-1's Invitational. Collier had 17 points, but James scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half to lead the Trailblazers to a 66-55 victory. More than 11 million new tons of plastic pollute the oceans every year. Local Cobb County REALTOR Janice Overbeck wanted to know what is being done to combat one of the world's most critical environmental issues, so she co-wrote, co-directed and produced the new documentary, "Plastic Earth," hosted by actor/comedian Rob Riggle. Overbeck personally investigated how new inventions and technologies are working to stop plastic debris from overwhelming the planet, killing wildlife and contributing to climate change. The film will be available on iTunes on February 7. For more information, please head to Plastic Earth Movie dot com. When Dr. Luis Torres was working toward his undergraduate degree in his native Puerto Rico, he would have never guessed that a dinner invite would change his path in life. A Life University recruiter invited him to dinner, and then shortly after he attended Life Leadership weekend and decided he wanted to be a chiropractor. Dr. Torres found himself in Marietta on the pathway to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic. After years of hard work and dedication, he graduated in March 2021. Soon after graduation, he got the opportunity from his alma mater to head the newest branch of LIFE Chiropractic Centers in San Juan. The clinic officially opened in the winter of 2022, but a grand opening ceremony was held in October where many from Life U's executive leadership team and Board of Trustees attended and hosted a one-day continuing education event and ribbon cutting. Life U President Dr. Rob Scott, Vice President of University Advancement & Enrollment Dr. Gilles LaMarche, Board of Trustee member and Puerto Rico native Dr. Eddy Diaz and Vice President of Global Initiative Dr. John Downes were just a few of the special speakers and attendees at the grand opening. According to Dr. Torres, plans for the clinic's future include continuing to care for patients in the community and increase patient volume, but also serving as a hub where other Life U alumni in Puerto Rico can gather for continuing education, meet and greets and simply to recharge their passion for the profession with their colleagues to serve a population that is growing more aware of the benefits of chiropractic care. District Attorney Flynn Broady's $1.4 million funding ask to get a new local domestic violence center off the ground was put on hold by Cobb commissioners this week. The pause appeared to stem in part from a communication breakdown, as several commissioners said they were hearing of the request for the first time, while Broady reportedly tried multiple times to discuss it with the board prior to their meeting. The Family Advocacy Center, as the location will be known, was unveiled last month on Fairground Street after years of planning. It's billed as a hub for victims and survivors of domestic violence, where a coalition of community groups and agencies can provide support all under one roof. The center was partially funded with a $400,000 grant from the state, and will be the first of its kind to open in Georgia, according to the DA's office. Broady was set to ask for an additional $650,000 to fund the center through the end of this fiscal year, and another $815,000 for fiscal 2024. About a fourth of that money was for the initial improvements and equipment for the building; about half was for salary for the center's staff. Some commissioners initially balked at the proposal because Broady asked for the money to come from county reserve funds. The county has in the past hesitated to use that money to pay for recurring expenses, like hiring new staff. Broady said he was willing to drop the item for now, that he'd like to for the commissioners to commit to meeting with him in the next few weeks to “get this back on track.” The newly formed Cobb County chapter of a national nonprofit that works to bring people out of poverty has named Barbara Garner of Marietta as its executive director. Circles USA has over 80 locations in the U.S. and Canada. Circles Cobb was established last year by a board of community nonprofit and business leaders. Board Chair Holly Tuchman said when the founding board members discovered Circles USA, they "all decided that this would be a great program to bring to Cobb County." In the later half of 2022, Tuchman said she and Vice Chair Jeri Barr joined the board and moved forward with finding a director who could lead the organization. Tuchman said the board wanted the executive director to be extremely familiar with the community. Garner, who most recently served as the donor services manager for the Cobb Community Foundation, said extensive nonprofit experience and passion for serving others will help her excel in the role. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com        See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In der Nachmittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Daniella Moll, Country Manager DACH von Sencrop, über die Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 18 Millionen US-Dollar. Sencrop hat mit 20.000 Wetterstationen das nach eigenen Angaben größte vernetzte agrarmeteorologische Datennetzwerk in Europa aufgebaut.

Sencrop versetzt Landwirte dadurch in die Lage, bessere pflanzenbauliche Entscheidungen zu treffen und so ihre Anbaurisiken zu verringern. Zu den deutschen Kunden des landwirtschaftlichen Tech-Startups zählen wichtige landwirtschaftliche Beratungsinstitutionen der Offizial- und Landberatungen, wie beispielsweise der Bio-Kartoffelverband Oberbayern, Beratungsring Ackerbau Rheinhessen/Pfalz, der Beratungsring Westküste in Schleswig-Holstein, die Universität Bonn und der Bio Innovation Park sowie führende Landmaschinenhandelsunternehmen wie NewTec, Landtechnik Steigra, das Technik Center Alpen (TCA) und mehrere Bewässerungsunternehmen. Sencrop wurde 2016 von Michael Bruniaux und Martin Ducroquet in Lille gegründet. Das französische Startup hat nun in einer Series-B-Finanzierungsrunde 18 Millionen US-Dollar eingesammelt. Der israelische Risikokapitalgeber JVP, der seit 1993 in über 150 Unternehmen investiert hat, darunter Inshur, Control Up, Earnix, Quali, Pyramid, Analytics, Morphisec, Centrical, Anyclip, Leadspace, Nanit, Teridion, 1touch.io, Agrint, Dealhub, Innovopro, Ionir, Opora, SecBI, Upsolver, Vicarius, Valid Network oder Wishi, übernimmt bei der Finanzierung den Lead. Insgesamt hat der VC aus Israel 1,6 Milliarden US-Dollar für die Portfoliounternehmen aufgebracht und 12 Börsengänge begleitet. IT Food, Stellar Impact, IRD Management, BPIfrance, Demeter IM und NCI Waterstart haben sich ebenfalls an der Serie B beteiligt.

Bible Reading: 2 Timothy 4:1-5"I wish I could go too," Evie said as she watched her older sister walk up to the security line at the airport. Along with other young people from their church, Savannah was on her way to spend a week helping missionaries in Mexico with their children's ministry. Her family had come to the airport to see her off.As Evie and her parents headed back home, she was very quiet. "What's wrong, honey?" Dad asked. "Do you miss Savannah already?""No, I just wishI wish I could be a missionary," said Evie. "I think maybe I will be one someday, but I wish I could be one now too. I wish I could have gone along to Mexico.""Well, Evie, when we think of missionaries, we generally mean people who take the gospel to other countries or cultures where there are lots of people who haven't heard the good news of Jesus," said Dad. "But in a broader sense of the word, a missionary is a person who is on a mission--a mission to help more people know Jesus as their Savior. In that sense, you're a missionary already. You've been bringing your friend Dani to church. She's even going to Bible camp with you next summer.""Well, yes, but" Evie sounded uncertain."And how about the kids who just moved in next door?" added Mom. "You've been so kind and welcoming to them, and the other day I heard you talking to them about Jesus."Evie sighed. "I know, but I want to be a real missionary.""Evie," Dad said gently, "if God wants you to go to another country someday, you'll undoubtedly have the opportunity to do that. But all Christians have the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus with those around them, no matter where they are. That's the important thing--and in that sense, you're a real missionary already."Evie smiled. "Really?"Dad nodded. "Savannah is going to serve God in Mexico for a week, and you're serving Him right at home on South Street!""Jesus wants the people in Mexico to know He loves them," said Mom, "and He wants those on South Street to know He loves them too." "Okay," Evie said. "I'll tell them whenever I can." -Lenora McWhortenHow About You?Do you ever wish you could go to another country and be a missionary? That's a great thing to want to do, but you don't have to travel far away to be a missionary--you can be one wherever you are right now. Don't wait to share the good news of Jesus with others. People on your street and in your school need to know that Jesus loves them and died for them, and you can be the one to tell them.Today's Key Verse:Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. (2 Timothy 4:2)Today's Key Thought:Share the gospel today

When Karla Welch and Clea O'Hana launched fashion styling app Wishi in 2019, the idea was to democratize the fashion styling experience, which is usually reserved for celebs. “Karla's dream was to bring styling to everyone,” O'Hana said, on the latest Glossy Podcast. “It's a great partnership -- because I had the technology and the business idea, but I didn't have the styling or the fashion part of it…[Together] we're replicating the relationship that she has with her clients, online.”  Welch has 20 years of experience as a stylist; her clients to date have included Justin Bieber, Tracee Ellis Ross and Karlie Kloss, among others. Meanwhile, O'Hana's background is in business and finance, though she's worked in merchandising for fashion companies including Net-a-Porter and Belstaff.  In February, Wishi secured a partnership with Farfetch, granting the retailer's high-spend loyalty members access to Wishi's styling services. (Typically, clients pay Wishi $40 to be styled in two looks and $90 for five looks -- stylists are not paid on commission.) Thus far, the partnership has revealed some interesting data points. For one, customers who take advantage of the service are returning fewer items.  “When you're shopping for yourself, and you don't have the eye or the confidence, or you're not sure [about] the fit, you overbuy, and then you send things back,” said Welch. “It's a huge waste environmentally, and it's really damaging to a lot of businesses.” Wishi is getting the word out about its services via its Style Council of stylists, who promote their bookings. It also invests in digital marketing and Google search. “[However] people are looking for this service now; there's really a lot of demand,” said O'Hana. “We don't have any problem marketing it.”

Karla Welch was named one of Hollywood Reporter's Top 10 Stylists of the Decade. As the founder and owner of x karla, and the founder of the premium styling app Wishi, Karla is one of the most visionary and loudest voices in Fashion, especially on issues that matter- using her platform to shine a light on social injustice. In this episode, you'll learn the secrets behind the red carpet, how to bring yourself to the next level, why you shouldn't downplay your success, and how to hold onto hope.

Picking out what clothes Hollywood's A-listers wear can seem like the stuff of dreams. And—for the most part, it can be.  But, as we learn in this episode of Girlboss Radio, behind every show-stopping moment on the red carpet is a lot of careful calculations and thought-planning.

Karla has worked with many of the women who routinely make the best-dressed list (think: Ruth Negga, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Paulson, Tracee Ellis Ross among others). Her influence in fashion is so big that she's been named one of the “most powerful stylists” by both the Hollywood Reporter and the New York Times. On this episode, Karla shares what it *really* means to be a stylist and how she's branched out as a fashion entrepreneur to launch a styling app called Wishi.

influence from mydad and also the caring motherly rolequite a old-fashioned role reallybecause my dad went out to work and mymom stayed at home and looked after hisfull-time so it was nice to I think youknow that the importance of modeling andeverything and I had I had a very goodupbringing because you know like I saidI had the business aspect of my dad andthe drive and understanding theimportance of money which he was a bigbeliever in his understanding so weworked from a very young age I was 30when I had my first job yeah and I didto be honest I didn't need to workbecause we had a big house I had horseswe had land you know so I had an amazingstart in life but my dad came from avery humble background and was like it'simportant that you understand the valueof money and to go out to work so yeah Istarted work when I was thirteen and myown moneyand I've worked ever since maybe that'swhy I'm such a hard worker and and Iknow that unless you put the graftingyou don't get the result sort of thingso absolutely yeah so and and then Istayed on at school so I was veryacademic minded out of the three of us Iwas the one the clever one the samethere's always one I can relate to thatyeah yeah yeah cuz you're the brainy oneas well apparently but I probablydisagree now I think my little sisterstaken that always taken over now so yeahso I did I stayed at school did mya-levels I did a BTech National Diplomain art and design cuz that's the sort ofarea was going down and then I went toNewcastle and did a fashion marketingdegree for four years within that fouryears at did a three-year and the threeyearswere academic in university and then Idid a year within industry it wasclassed as a sandwich course so jewelryin that time I went and I design ladieshandbags for the high street yeah so Iused to that was my old rock my oldcareer I suppose I started designingladies handbags for the high street wentinto designing and then I had a bit of amoment in life are separated at a sixyear relationship with my first love aswell they were met when I was 17 andthat massively affected me like I endedup having depression and anxiety I meanI stayed in bed mom bless mom mom shehad to come and get me out of bedsometimes because it was just all forcoping with ityou know together six years and yeah hada bit of a I don't know maybe a bit of alife-changing moment and I was like thisgot you know there's got to be more tolife than lying in bed crying over anex-boyfriend so I ended up goingtravelling backpacking around Australiaon my own which was rather daunting hefinds herself in a country the otherside of the world on your own to kind offind yourself yeah but it was the mostamazing thing is the freest I've everfelt in my life you were in a countryyou could go wherever you wantedwhenever you wanted and you weren'trestricted by time or money or anythingand it was it was absolutely amazing andit I spent six months over there and Iactually were hosts I was over therestarted applying for jobs because Iwanted to do extreme sports where designthat was a passion of mine I've alwaysbeen into surfing and snowboarding andthat was a great passion of mine sobasically I went over to have kind of aholiday but I took again I think it'salways been about entrepreneurial yeah Itook a CD basically with my wholeportfolio that I generated at universityand a posted out or the major company soQuicksilver Rip Curl Billabong and thenI got contacted I was on Fraser Islanddoing a two-day trip a incredible placeand I had no internet because it wasjust in the middle of nowhere and I hada ping on my phone and it was avoicemail from Quicksilver saying theywanted to interview me and I was likewow like what an opportunity that wasfor designing designing extremesportswear so you know like all yearsnowboard any surf hoodies and all ofthat yeah that's what they do they're amassive brand if you're into you somekind of skate and surf wear so what anopportunity so I went to Turkey wherethey're based and I stayed there for aweek I went for an interview and theyoffered me a position as a juniordesigner fantastic but they they said tome we basically want you to be able todo all your CAD design so basically allthe things I drew they wanted me to beable to do it on a computer so I waslike you know for me to then get the jobbecause it was all Illustrator based andPhotoshop based so yeah I basically ranout of money anyway in Australia SCI hadto come home right yeah I'd doneeverything I've gone from the bottom ofAustralia like that's where the TwelveApostles are open book to Ken so I'ddone the whole of these coasts and so Icame home I did a CAD design coursepassed the course and then I had a momenagain another maybe life-changing momentwhat do I actually want out of life andthe thing is with the fashion industryalthough it's amazing and it's soinspiring the world of design it's verypretentious as well and I'm a very openbubbly person and always have been and Iwas surrounded by a lot of people and itwas all about money what you ownedrather than who you were as a personso maybe I went a little bit deep withall of that and was like what could I dothat would make a difference yeah andand then I saw Lester Constabulary wererecruiting for police officers yeah sothis was our 11 years ago 12 years 12years ago now so I went along with mymom to the event and it was amazing thefact that you could do so many differentroles within one job and I did all theapplication process and passed it gotreally high level all the written andthe mathematical but I didn't getthrough the interview I just didn't havewhat it was necessary to get theposition so I kind of gave up which wasvery unlike me because I definitely amand I'm a bit like if somebody says noto me mate it's me working honestly somy coach at the time the person whobasically was doing all the applicationprocess with us and making sure that weknew what we needed to do to get to theend goal which was to get the role as apolice officer she contacted me actuallyand said do not give up you were amazingreal I think you have what it takes andon that occasion you weren't successfulbut you were up against a lot of peoplewho were like PCSOsor special so they had more of a policeknowledge than I did because I had no nofriends in the police no family in thepolice I had no idea what was involvedso yeah I basically transferred myapplication to West Midlands Police andbecause I'd done everything the onlything I had to do for them was thedifferent fitness tests because theyhave a different fitness test - Lesterand a passed that and so yeah my 11 yearservice now with them oh wow I know Idon't even know how the time justso I did well at school I wanted to dowell in my career I wanted to be abusiness always had this dream being abusiness woman and because yeah I mean Ibecause I'd hit on it a little bit so wehad Hall she's growing up so when I was13 I was asked to ride for Great Britainyeah so at 13 I got scouted so that wassomething else I used to do as well onthe side of going to school yeah I amso yeah dude horse riding when I wasyounger and I got asked to ride forGreat Britain but I again had thisthought in my mind I want to be a careerwoman I had friends at school you knowand I was I did I thought if I do thatit's going to stop my development in thearea that I want to go in right so Inever I never did that and again I thinkthat's because of the person that I amlike I'm always striving for somethingso I did the university thing andobviously because of my university andthen are separated from my ex of sixyears I would then spend some time on myown I spent two and a half years on myown I think it was really reallyimportant to find you as a person ofcourse so yeah I did a bit ofsoul-searching I think during that timeand figuring out who I was and what Iwanted in life because I find in arelationship when you spend a long timetogether you just become a couple yeahrather than an individualyeah and I lost myself I didn't know whoI was anymore what I wanted so yeah Ithen spent some time on my own joinedthe police and then I met my most recentex who's my daughter's father and wewere together 10 years so yeah I didn'thave my daughter until I was nearly 30right okay okayso when my daughter was four months oldI then set a business orso I was still a police officer but Itook maternity leave for 30 months tobring her up and I set my business up sokeepsake company it's called made frommemories basically I make handmadekeepsake bears out of outgrown babyclothes that's a fantastic idea yeah yesso it's it's it's massively popular andI've got a massive following now so I'vebeen doing it for six years and I alsomake the some remembrance cushions outof granddad shirts you know from familymembers that have passed or teddy bearsout if I mean I get a lot of people likethey've lost their partner to cancerI've done bears made out of soldieruniforms because mum mums have losttheir son in war in Afghanistan so it'shonestly it's I love it I absolutelysentimental is what it is and they're soindividual because obviously they'remade from the clothes belong to thatperson that's lovelyaslam something else I've just learntfrom you as well oh oh like I said itwas always property and obviously we gotspeaking that was that hard in a secondthere's a fascinating story here and afascinating lady's doing all theseamazing things because we touched on itprior to starting this interview withthem I want people who may may be in asimilar situation to yourself I been asingle parent having all theseaspirations and businesses on the sideto believe in themselves a little bitmore that they can go out and do so muchmoreyeah I mean I don't know how you fit inthis in by the way I'm gonna ask youthat because we all only have 24 hoursin the day which is fascinating andmaybe it's it's probably something youtouched on earlier in your life whereyou saw your dad the modeling aspect andseeing how hard I suppose he were tocome from one more background to giveyou and I think you've got two siblingsyou mentioned I have two young youngersistersTrisha Harvey who's my mentor actuallyin property who's an amazing individualand she does real live coachingand he's just I think maybe I mean Iwent to MMI I don't know if you'refamiliar with MMR themmind intensive if it's all to do withthe P yes er Becca if you haven't doneit you should definitely go basicallythey cover your money blueprint and howyou think about money and how you'remodeling from a child has affected thedecisions that you make regarding moneythat's very interests and I went andyeah I went and did that for three daysand a think I had a very very positiveidea of money and I think that's becauseof my dad money was never negative likethey came out with comments like richpeople of greedy people you know likeall negative connotations towards moneyand because I'd had such a positivethought on wealth and money because mydad God apart from my dad saying youknow wait till you get older how hardyou have to work for money yeah he dideverything was very positive aroundmoney and business and working so yeahbabe maybe that's where it all started Ithink so because I think I have probablyheard more negative connotations towardsmoney growing up and I suppose evenmyself having come from humblebackgrounds you do hear those sayingsmonies of you a whole evil and richpeople are greedy rich yeah growing upand having to change my own mindsetwhich has been an absolute minefieldyeah you know through reading andaffirmations and stuff I think you don'tnecessarily need to love money but youneed to at least understand the benefitsthat it can give you so I think it'sfantastic that you had that from a youngage and obviously you'll be able to passthat message on to your little one aswellyeah well incredibly actually hitting onHolly she I've been away for three daysin London and my sister's real lifeproperty event and my mum had mydaughter so I came home on Sunday topick her up and we were talking aboutthe future and everything and my mumsaid my daughter said that she's hadenough of school alreadysix sheshe loved school all about Ithink cuz it's getting harder nowbecause she's getting old she said toher Nana no no I don't I don't want tobe at school anymoreand my mom said to her Hollywell you've you've still got primaryschool and high school to do you've gota long time still in education and sheturned around so my mommy she says butbut Nana I'm going to do what my mommydid yet she says mummys going to help mebuild a portfolio of properties of sothat I don't have to stay in school andthat I can be a businesswoman just likeher fix I know I was like that's amazingand then I sat down and I was explainingsummer mom about passive income and thefact that I'm wanting to build up aportfolio for Holly so that she's gotthe choice of what she does so whethershe wants to work or set her ownbusiness up or go traveling I said Iwanted to have the opportunity thatshe's got the money coming through soshe can decide where her future liesrather then you know life dictating toher where she's going to be absolutely Ithink you hit the nail on the head daysit's it's all about choices in it anddefinitely if you can provide it withthat and I suppose that's kind of whereI'm looking at as well so similar toyourself in terms of like children and Iwant to kind of set my business up firstwhen I do choose to have kids I wantthem at a very early age to had thatmindset that house just displayed thereyeah and to know that there are otherways where you can if you use money theright way especially through propertywhich you both understand give them thatmessage at an earlier age it's onlyhelped them well Erin you I mean fromwhat I've read of you and seen of you inyour YouTube videos and that you'veyou've had a very similar sort of statusme because you've done several differentthings and had to find where you wereand in fact you being a social workerand me being a police officer it's allabout giving back is a hundred percentabsolutely and and you touched on itearlier as always said like there's moreto life than money and stuff and thatwas kind of the reason I gave up projectmanagement and working for a greatLondon companybecause I was like there's gotta be moreto life and that's kind of where I wentinto the Social Work sidemy only problem was I just realized theimpact I suppose I wanted to have inSocial Work I was unable to give andthat's the same as the place becausewhat I I joined to make a difference butbecause of legality is and thegovernment and the the yeah therestrictions of court and everything Ialthough I want to make that impact Ican't make that impact because thisrestrictions stopping me I supposethat's probably the reason you thenchose to go through property yeswell property's always been one of theseI was one of these who sat for hourswatching and and I've always lovedproperty in the excitement of you knowhaving having a dirty stone and makingit into a diamond sort of thing yeah youknow buy and also again my mission is tomake affordable housing to a highquality standard and made every house ahome I mean my company compass inproperty investment is all about givingpeople the right direction and makingevery house a home whether it's for atemporary accommodation until they findtheir forever home whether it's theirfirst home that they're buying as acouple or whether I'm providing aforever home for them it's just givingthem that feeling of being at home Ithink I think I'm as a student and alsomy professional life I've rented and youknow these rooms in houses or you know asingle-layer if you you don't abide tolet just never feel at home and that'simportant to me in my portfolio is tocreate houses that feel like home Joelat home that's a lovely message and Ithink I think everyone wants that dawnthere really I mean I try and do thatwith my tenants as well ways I try andlet them use it as their home so if theywant to decorate they want to do stuffthat's absolutely fine by me because heis about creating that home because letyou said we know what it's likehave that feeling of coming home asopposed to just staying somewhere whereyou think this is just a temporarymeasure and I think it's important youknow with regards to keeping yourtenants as well because if you providesuch an amazing environment for themthey're safe and clean and tidy if theywant to stay there because it does feellike home absolutely yeah I mean I'vehad no change obvioustouchwood so fingers crossed it stayslike that but yeah I just love thatmessage behind what you're trying to doin property so I need to ask you nowbecause obviously we've touched on allthese amazing things you're doing I'msure you probably miss some stuff out aswell what's your what's your what's yourdaily routine like then so being asingle mother getting into property andI've seen some of your cracking dealsthat you've got lined up now working inthe police force as well you're intohealth and fitness which you haven'tmentioned but I know that from stalkingyour profile so what other things areyou doing and what what's the kind ofday in the life like for you oh my mydays are absolutely crazyI can imagine I'm not gonna lie it theyit is bedlam because I obviously splitwith my ex a couple of years ago so hehas my daughter a few days a week whichalso allows me to have some time to getthings done I only work part-time in thepolice now so I work Monday TuesdayWednesday every week and I then have mybusiness my keepsake business howeversince I went to MMI and looked at mybusiness and growing the business andcoming out of the business because theproblem with me at the moment is I'm ineverything and I've now now I've comedown this mindset journey and going intoproperty and with my mentoring andcoaching with Trisha I've now realizedthat I need to come now I've set thingsup and they're going really well andI've built up a massive client base Ineed to come out of it because my timeis precious and if I invest all my timein one thing I can't do anything else soI've actually recently taken on twoladies that I'm going to train up tomake my keepsakesthat's going to be basically handed overto them and then I will just manage itwhich is then going to free up some timeto do more on the property side whichI've just started but like you hit onAren of you know I've already got twodeals and they're big projects the likeeight bed HMOs that I'm also juggling inbetween and I'm sure you know the amountof viewings that you have to go on tofind these deals absolutely it'sinspiring to see what what you're doingbecause like I said I keep saying it butinitially I thought was just propertythen obviously getting to know you overthe last month or so I'm hearing howmany other things you're doing and ifanything it makes me feel quite lazy tobe honest because I'm like oh I haven'tgot a child to look after I haven't gotan occupation where I need to be thereMonday to wednesday so and yeah I knowhow difficult it is it's literally yougot to get used to the word know you'vegot to get used to rejections you wantto be on the ground 24/7 so it'sinspiring and hopefully inspires otherpeople is well out there who may yeahthink having being a single parent orhaving a part-time job or a full-timejob is a way to kind of excuse them fromnot aspire to there's no excuse there'syou are your own worst enemy the reasonyou don't succeed in life is because ofyourself and it's and I'm a greatbeliever in taking action if you don'ttake action you don't take risk nothingever changes and the thing is if Icarried on doing what I've always done Iwould just remain where I've always beenso exactly so what I've done is it isdifficult I'm not going to lie it's hardwork but I've done so much changerecently and so much on the mind setbecause mine's it's so important becauseto me if you're your heads not in thegame you're not in the gameyou know and it massively you need to betelling yourself every day reminding youyou can do it I mean every day I writedown my successes I do my five successesevery day I also write my goals down soit's important thatyou know what your goals are you knowyour your quarterly goals your yearlygoals your five yearly goals ten andyour 20 year Li goals because it givesyou something to aim towards I think Ihit on that earlier about how importantyour goals are to make you drive towardsthem and obviously looking you hit onearlier as well the affirmations anddeclarations it's it's all about youknow getting you and your mind in theright place and it's amazing how muchonly in a matter of a couple of monthsmy life has just gone upside down in agood way in a good way honestly thethings that are coming to me like theamount of investors that are contactingme for my projects because all myprojects are 100% investor led we do JVpartnership but I use zero of my ownmoney it's all investor money that paysfor my property is which and they get avery good return much better return thanthey would with the banks but as youknow Erin you do the same core samething so but it's so important becauseyou you know the these individuals arebuying into me it's not just about thedeal it's about me as a person and I'mvery positive but very brave and verymotivated I'm a very friendlyapproachable person which is veryimportant and I believe in myself oh yesI am a single mom yes I do own a busybusiness yes I do have a job and yes Ihave set a property business sort butI'm doing it it's so inspiring I meanI'm just taking notes here because Iwant to what I want to do from what youjust said days give single parents athome just a couple of tips there so thenumber one thing and this is somethingthat I've had to really really work onmyself in the last six months is believein yourself because irrespective of whatanyone else says whether it's your momwhether it's your partner your siblingsyou have to believe in yourself aboveall else and also if there's noif people around you you don'tnecessarily need to get rid of them butmaybe you've spent less time with themso if you're spending two hours a daywith those people maybe spend 20 minutesa day with them because the people thatare around you the the negativity that'saround you will only keep you where youare it will not move you forward I thinkthat's a great point because some peoplealways think how can I just get rid ofsomebody who's negative in my life yeahand we're not necessarily saying youneed to get rid of them what I do is Ikind of do this thing where I look atthem and I'll smile and nod but I'm notlistening to a word they're sayingif I know it's negative and at the sametime and that's mainly for people I knowI have to kind of be around but if it'ssomeone negative I do the same thing ortry and reduce your time with them youalso mentioned a very very good pointwhich is you write down your goals dailyyou do your lashes but I just want toquickly elaborate on something you saidthe five successes is that fivesuccesses that you want to achieve or isit five successes that you've doneperhaps the previous day no that day soit means every day yes at the end ofevery day I've got a success book just alittle book a notebook and I write theday and successes and I do five so itcan be as little as often it's theschool run I'm late on time and you knowwe get the thing the thing is we don'twe don't celebrate our small successeswe've achieved on a daily basis and it'sjust sometimes the little thingsespecially with people with depressionand I've been there just getting up andshowers and getting dressed for the dayis a massive achievement for somebodywith depression you know simply pickingthe phone up to ask for help when you'vegot depression that is a massive thingso it's little successes like I saidgetting to the school run on time goingand doing some viewings putting an offerin on a house networking with somebodyto possibly get another investor onboard for a project they're all littlesuccesses that believe you need tohighlight and and they they say aboutonce you write it down the mechanics ofyour brain work differently and ityou've you kind of take iteven better when she write it down sothat's what I do at the end of every dayI write down my five successes no matterhow big or small I love this so what youreferred to at the end I think it'scalled a reticular activation system isthat what it is yeah that's how you sayand it's kind of like these so an easyexample is if for instance you go outand you looking for a red car or you buya red car all of a sudden when you're onthe road you'll notice in that red careverywhere where it's prior to that youprobably didn't so I think if you cantune your brain in the right way thatyou're looking for opportunities you'reseeking better that better purpose orvision of your life you're going tostart attracting that sort of stuff andyou are just touched on somethingthey're really important about the smallwinsI suppose I'm guilty of this myselfbecause I will probably have a lot ofsmall ways in the day but I'm notgenerally in that probably the way Ishould so I'm literally written out herethat I'm gonna literally copy whatyou're doing there because I thinkthat's an amazing point to do I know thedepression stuff that you mentioned beshowering and little things like thathaven't haven't seen my mom strugglewith it for the best part of eight yearsI know that as a personal thing so it'sit's it's a fantastic point there andhopefully people listening to us couldtake that on board so it's not as easyas it sounds I suppose obviously we'dlike the Instagram success and we'relooking around on social media seeneveryone doing all these amazing things24/7 yeah but he's like you know Arenis do not ever compare yourself toanybody else that that is the worstthing that anybody can do you know focuson what you're doing where you'reheading what you're wanting from lifeand also you hit on yeah I'm a bigFitness nutrition that's one of thereasons actually Aren that I found youthrough your fitness journey to be fairbefore before the property journey and Imassively believe healthy body healthymind I have a very clean diet only inthe last four months have I started I doweightlifting and all of those peopleout there again single moms I don't goto the gym I do this from home but be inthe last couple of months I've lost astone and I'm only small anyway you knowI've always been slim but it's importantto methat you get every part of your life inbalance I think and and in your dietexercising you know they release so manydifferent chemicals that make you feelbetter about yourself so yeah it is hardwork trying to fit all of this inthought you know it makes such anincredible difference it does just haveto do itoops I agree I think it's it's justsmall wins no habits rather than lookingat the big picture I think thecomparison thing is a massive point butit's again it's easier said than done Ithink once you find yourself looking atstuff constantlyI would just news it I would just stopusing that up and just really try andfind yourself which is something thatyou mentioned before great stuff and sothe next thing I want to know is aboutadversity so you're very bubbly you'redoing amazing things and I'm sure likelike many of our listeners you've hadyour fair share of adversity as wellcould you if you wouldn't mind explain atime where you've perhaps been throughadversity maybe something recent Isuppose in your journey whether it's adeal falling through or somethingsomething significant that you thinkthat could normally break somebody willgive somebody the opportunity to presentthemselves with an excuse I mean we allhave struggles in life I mean only redlight it's it's quite recent only twoyears ago now like I said I split withmy ex and it's it's been difficult youknow I'm not I'm not gonna lie becomingbecoming a single mom knowing that hadmy business work you know all the otherday-to-day role the role of a mother tocontend with and juggle with it's beendifficult I I took the decision to endthat relationship which again was amassive you know because I my decisionwas going to affect three people notjust myself however I'm i sat one daywas like I feel lonely and I feelnegative and I feel unhappy and I'm in arelationship and that isn't what itslife's about you should be in arelationship you should feel adored youshould feel that that person bringsthe best of you brings out the bestversion of you and that they add to yourlife so that was a massive thing for meto do was to end a relationshipespecially when we had a young childtogether and almost stop being selfishbecause I had to think about the biggerpicture the future and obviously theposition of you know how it was going toaffect my daughter I suppose so yeah Imean I could have easily have just saidlook let's just carry on you know let'sjust make it work let's work harder atit but I had to make that decision tolike we've got to the end of the roadand it's it's not it's not making me anybetter it's not making him any betterand it certainly isn't going to make ourdaughter any better so I'd say that's amassive achievement in itself to makeand realize that you needed to makechanges Wow I think you just heard thereit is an achievement I think thinkingabout the bigger picture in that in thatscenario because I see spar - oftenpeople who are just unhappy in life yeahbeing unhappy you have to accept thatit's a choice and you've sat there andyou thought actually I need to make adecision here to change this and for thebetter and it seems like it's going forthe better I hope obviously the otherparty is fine as well and obviously yourdaughter's in it in a good place as wellso we've got a very amicablerelationship he's a great guy he's anamazing dad so and I could never takethat away from him but together I meanas a family unit we works but togetheras a relationship we didn't and and it'simportant for for everybody out theredon't be scared like I say so many timestwo friends of mine who are in happyrelationships but it's all about themoney and it's all about the securityand you know they're scared but I'd handon heart say it's not as hard as youthink it's going to be it really is andI suppose I'm guilty of it myselfbecause sometimes when you have to makea decision and if you know it's going tohurt one of the other parties I reallyreally struggle with that and it's onlyrecentI just kind of do like a five-fourthree-two-onea kind of a Mel Roberts approach whereI'm like okay five four three two oneand I'll just send that message out orI'll give him the cord yeah say themessage and like you said it's not ashard as you think and in hindsight Imean after a day or two you everything'snormally a lot better than probably thescenario you're telling yourself in yourhead exactly so what's your biggest fearthen my biggest fear I think he cycleokapi who is failure and doing somethingand not succeeding I've been veryfortunate the decisions that I've madein life of always I've always succeededover succeeded and everything that I'vedone even little jobs I've hadreception jobs at dental practices andthe the head dentist there is thenoffered to give me a position and as adental nurse I worked in adopts ofsurgery as a receptionist and got askedif I wanted to train as the practicemanager so people honestly people ofalways whatever position I've ever donein my life they've always seen somethingin me to go further than where I amhowever you always still have your ownfears and your own doubts about whetheryou can achieve what other people cansee in you so yeah I think that's one ofmy fit my just fear of failure and fearof not you know I suppose like Petepeople think that I'm going to be herelike a certain level and I'm like oh mygod am i you know am I gonna let yeah amI gonna let everybody downand I'm not gonna reach even theirexpectations of meyeah that's a massive fear of mesometimes and what what if so forinstance you did fail so say for is thisyour next venture in property it didn'tgo the way that you wanted it to goI mean I've struggled to believe thatyou would let that knock you down no Ibloody wasn't you know it's one of thosethings that you know what at thatparticular time that deal wasn't rightand it didn't work and you know there'smassive learningin it I mean already with my firstproject things are coming up that I'mhaving to get over I'm learning so muchalready because this property that I'mworking currently on is in aconservation area and I did realize thatthe loft extension in its been done andit's not got planning permission andthere's permitted development forcertain things so loft extensions areunder committed development but in aconservation area you basically can'teven move a treeyou can't cut hedges down you can'tchange windows you can't do anythingwithout planning permission so it's likelittle things like that but I'm learningbecause I'm now working with planningI'm now working with HMO offices youknow contacting I've got a tree that islike push the roots are pushing into theproperty so I'm having to get a surveydone but it's like now I'm in touch withthe councilI've spoken to tree surgeons and all ofthat just ask the mom database my youknow everything that I'm learning alongthe way and next time if things aren'tthat come up he's scary thought becauseI've dealt with it all really yeahabsolutely I would personally thinkjudging by that and say that yourbiggest fear is probably expectationsrather than at your failure because Ijust feel like you're just go throughyour learn and then you're you'll bebetter and you just kick ass next timebasically yeah definitelyand I mean I've I've gone very big withmy first projects because a lot ofpeople said oh my god Donna like it'syour first projects that it's aneight-oh and obviously we get all thepeople the negative people say you can'tdo a hecho mo for your project you'vegot to 1/8 birds for your first projectyou won't get the investors you can'tget a bridge loan because we deal withbridge loans and I'm like well it'sfunny because I'm doing all of thatexactly so but but it's only through thefact that my sister is my mentor that Iknow she's doing it she's gettingproperties passed through blanketarticle 4 areas people on the HMO groupswhich are also on our own are sayingthat's impossible that's impossiblethat'sso I don't even comment anymore it'spossible yeah absolutely it's justimpossible for them I would justliterally leave it I think it's ablessing in disguise that obviouslyyou've got Trisha there to help you aswell because I'm not she's doingfantastic things but you also have togive yourself credit as well for yourmindset yeah yes I'm sure she's been amassive catalyst and help but I justfeel that your enthusiasm and like yousaid anything you you generally touchyou will make a success of it so don'tforget to obviously give yourself praisethere as wellyes no no I I think I use my sister toremind me you know when my little voicecomes in over where yes yes I use mysister as my no she's done it no she'sdone it she's got those figures onrefinance she's managed to do that sowhy can't I so she's just I supposeshe's my little crutch at the momentbecause I haven't done it so when I havedone it I'll be saying well no I didthat last time you know I'm doingalready done that I just want to bringup that point as well you mentioned thelittle voice because I can so relate tothat and I'm sure there's many of mylisteners who have this little voice intheir head and the beautiful thing withyou just saying that there is we allhave that little voice so some of usmight sit there you might have thisself-doubt and believe that maybe thisjust isn't for me but when you startspeaking to people who are doing amazingthings and I'm sure Trisha wouldprobably say the same thing I bet youshe has that little voice as well but Ithink what we have to do is we have tolearn how to calm that voice down andkind of overpowering I suppose in it andalso reminding yourself that your littlevoice isn't you yeah that little voiceisn't you this is all your that's allthat all your insecurities all yournegativity all those it's like thelittle devil sitting on your shoulder itreally is telling you that it isn'tpossible that you can't do it but youcan because all you need to do is takeaction stay positive keep the the rightpeople around you and network with theright people and you can make anythinghappenabsolutely I love thatwhat we're gonna do now is we're gonnago into the fun part of the show andjust keep it that you have no ideawhat's gonna happen but oh my god it'sreally easyhopefully it's a bit of fun it's justsixty Seconds where I'm gonna ask youthe most random questions just to kindof give the listeners a little bit moreabout yourself and mix it up a bit soare you ready yes all right fantasticwe're going to start in three two oneokay romance or comedy a comedy Italianor Chinese Italian the best place you'veever been Australia cinema or bowlingcinema the ability to fly or beinvisible Oh probably to fly money orfame money horse riding or fashion horseriding Netflix our YouTube YouTubeSnickers or MarsSnickers every day favorite TV show everprobably friends speak all languageswill be able to speak to animalslanguage is your biggest inspiration atthis particular moment in timedefinitely my sister Trisha love it ifyou could sit with one person in theworld for an hour who would it beit's a queen you know would you ratherknow how you would die or when you weredying when if you could have polish onething in the world what would it bebullying your favorite song everStereophonics performance and cocktailsis there and the final question is wouldyou rather read mindsor predict the future read minds love itbrilliant that's it oh my god bless yait's more fun that way because you can'tplan for it really yeah okay so Ibelieve hindsight is obviously awonderful thing and it teaches us thatwe can get to places quicker faster andprobably with less money as well but atthe same time the journey does teach usa lot as well so what I want to know isif you could go back in time to maybeone moment where you were younger whatadvice would you give yourself yeah Ithink at school I got bullied which I'msure a lot of people went through so youknow if I wish I had my thoughts myfeelings of our positivity back when Iwas like 12 13 I said Terrywith my skin so yeah it was a hard timeduring my teenage years and I just wishI could go back and tell that personthat you know your you are stronger thanyou think you are and these people it'stheir own insecurities it's their ownissues with themselves that are causingthem to bully you yeah so I I own ouslywould not change a single thing that hashappened in my life because it's beenWho I am today for like you said if Ihad to go back I would love to tell thatlittle girl the life will be good life'sgonna be amazing you just need tobelieve in yourself I love itI hate bullying like when you said thatyes named with me because I've hadfamily members suffer with it I was Isuppose I was very fortunate that I wasquite popular at school so I kind ofnever really in aspect but even nowgrowing up and becoming I suppose moreintelligent more emotionally aware Isometimes keeping myself how I neverreally like intervened or stopped sortof you know how yeah kind of laugh withthe crowd and I suppose that yeah that'sjust as bad really but at that time yeahso you feel like you'd you feel like youshould have stood up myself for thatbecause if I ever see anything now as aman I'd always jump in but as a kid Isuppose you're almost kind of worried Isuppose that if you jump in then you'regonna be at the crux of everyone's jokesyeah I think social medias happen interms of bringing it out there so whenthere are these cases going on and I'veseen quite a few terrible stories it isbringing the importance that you knowthis just isn't acceptable because itwas such a long term effect but I'm soglad that it hasn't obviously affectedyou too much because now you're doingamazing things and inspiring yeah andand you know what it's quite nice nowthat I'm older and I am successful and Ilook back on those people at that timewho aren't doing very well now and I'mlike that's because of the decisionsthat you've taken because of the actionsyou know and how you're behaved isresorted to where you are today and - tobe honest I'd love to sit down with themreallythen reflect on their decisions and whatthey're doing in their life to maketheir lives better yeah absolutelybrilliant so sadly that actually bringsus to the last question of the day andthe last question I always ask my guessis if in a 150 years time and sciencefails to save us and all that is left isa book on a table and that book is aboutyourself it's about your life andeverything that you've accomplished inyour life what would the title of thatbook be and what would the blurb tell usabout you oh what a question the titlewould definitely be never give up hmmlove it so doesn't matter how hard itgets doesn't matter how many obstaclesget in the way it doesn't matter howmany people tell you that you can't doit just never give up because I can tellyou now if you just keep striving forwhat you want you will get what youdeservenever give up obviously that's amotivational thing it's something that'swhy people but when they turn it over Iwant them to understand the author alittle bit so what will it say aboutDonna I think it will say that I was avery hardworking forward-thinkingbubbly motivated person who at themoment even I just want to help so manydifferent people so yeah I just hopethat even just 2% of my energy rubs offon people and and I think like after thereal life event that we've had thisweekend the amount of people that cameup to me and said oh my god you've madethis weekend amazing because of yourenergy and your Drive and how positiveyou are and it really is buzzed me offI'm like I'll just feel like I'm oncloud nine now so yeah I thinkand that's the sort of lastingimpression I live on people and I hopethat's the lasting impression on peoplebecause that's what I want to do I wantto make people feel like anything ispossibleabsolutely I'm confident in well becauseI think your infectious you remind me ofa good friend of mine sunny yes we yeahwe both know sunny day I've not met I'venot had the pleasure it's a meeting yeahbecause unfortunately we've had torearrange a couple of meetings but yeshe's another individual I'm lookingforwardabsolutely it's just good to be aroundpeople who can lift you up especially ina world where there's always negativityflying around it's always good to bearound positive people yes just beforewe close the show I want to give themyou an opportunity to let the listenersconnect with yourself where would youtell him to come and find you yes oh I'meverywhere at the moment very quicklyyeah luckily because I've already got abusiness I know how it all works oh I'vealready got an Instagram accounta compass property investment I'm onFacebook compass property investmentalso under my own name Donna Marie Pegganyone can contact me there I've gotemail it can contact me for email soyeah everything's up and running andI've even bought my domain for mywebsite that will I'm sure be gettingset up within the next 12 monthsyes so I'm I know how to be out thereand in your face that's Brad becausethat's what I want I want the listenersto be able to connect to you so wouldyou say Facebook as a first point ofcourse yes definitely Facebook I do farmore on Facebook than anywhere else sothey can find me through my personalpage Donna Marie peg and it's open tothe public now it never used to be acompass property investment page whichis also activeit's got ongoing updates what projectsI'm working on I'll be doing live videoson their videos if the properties showyou how my build team are getting on andalso I'm wanting to use italso a little bit like a blog so youknow they so they can see what I'm doingwhen I'm doing it how I'm doing it andalso what things I'm coming up againstso because I'm hoping to use it as a wayof teaching others the you know this isthe problem I've come up against this ishow I've got around it this is what I'vedone these are the people that havecontacted this is the strategies are putin place so I'm also teaching people tothe things that I and the self and Iknow you've had problems along the waybut I hope that by sharing the problemsthat I've had it will allow them toeither avoid the problems or deal withthose problems head-on because they'vehad the information and the tools thatthey need to get past it really okay sowhat I'm gonna do is I'm gonna add allof those links and the Instagram which Inever knew about so I'll add that aswell in the challenge I'm standing hereon Instagram my compass propertyinvestment group because I was actuallylooking this morning I think it wasbefore we started this interview I waslike is she on Instagram and I wastyping in Donna I couldn't find anythingno made from memories so made frommemories are on there my keepsake bearsand my property I haven't got a personalpage because I think it's him back on tothe gym and fitness and outfitting it'ssomething I imagine to go into possiblysetting up a business aimed towardssingle parents so single moms singledads and giving them a place that theycan have no reason to not go becausethere's childcare in their package intheir membership package and I thinkthat's something that I'm going to aimwith my purse maybe set up a personalInstagram and you know build that uparound the setting of her gym PTsessions with mums single mums andsingle dads to allow them theopportunity to always focus on theirtheir health and their physical exerciseregardless of having children I love itas if you haven't got enough to doyou're gonna sellso everything else is being ran byeverybody else because this is what youdo you set the businesses or can youcome out of the business then it givesme the time and the freedom to do theother things that I love so muchno that's brilliant I think I certainlyrecommend sit in a pair a personal one Ikind of do the same thing I
