032: Mommy Millionaire with Cayla Craft

Hi, I'm Natalie Jill, fat loss expert turned high performance coach. When odds are stacked against us, how do we shift and create everything from nothing? How do we level up when we aren't feeling it yet or we've had a big setback? On this podcast, I'll be talking to some of the most inspiring and courageous men and women on this planet who at their worst, learned how to achieve success greater than they ever dreamed possible. Leveling up and creating everything from nothing. At the innocent young age of just five, Kayla's dad was incarcerated and he was a drug addict. Her mom, left to fend for the kids, was forced to declare bankruptcy. Feeling ashamed. With all cards stacked against her and odds not in her favor, Kayla Craft shifted her mindset through positive thinking, books and breathing techniques. Today, Kayla Craft, host of Mommy Millionaire podcast, is a mom of three self made millionaire and a lifestyle entrepreneur who's created and runs four successful six to seven figure businesses. Join in today and learn how Kayla Craft leveled up and created everything from nothing. She is the host of Mommy Millionaire. That's just one of the many incredible things that she does. But I found her through some friends that we have in common and then of course, her podcast, Mommy Millionaire. And she is incredible and I'm dying for you to hear her today because she is somebody that you look at her, first off, she's drop dead gorgeous and she's super uber successful. So you look at her and you might want to put your nose up like, well, of course, she just has it easy. It just works for her. But that is not who she always was. Kayla, thanks for being here today and diving in with my group.

Oh my gosh, I am so honored to be here. Thank you for having me.

So, Kayla, okay, look, people look at you. You're like perfect Barbie. They see like, she's pretty, she's successful, she's a. She's got it all together.

I don't have that.

But that's not who you always were. I know that.

Yeah. And that's why I'm so passionate about telling the backstory, because people see all the glory and they don't know what it. Yeah.

Tell us the backstory.

Where did that come from? So I started when I was about five years old. My dad was incarcerated for drug addiction. So he made bad mistakes because of his drug habits. And I knew like at that moment, I remember just growing up, I remember going and seeing him when he got out of jail and seeing him in rehab and just knowing that I was never going to be like that. And I became super driven at a very young age. I saw my mom declare bankruptcy when I was seven and we lost our home. And it wasn't because she wasn't working hard. She was working her butt off just for us. And I just had a huge heart for moms from that moment forward, because I'm like, gosh, there has to be a better way, you know?

Yeah.

And I remember just being so freaking ashamed too. So I remember, like, just lying to my friends. They would ask where, why I didn't have a dad. And I would just like, oh, he's on, like, he's out of town. You know, I would just, like, make up things because I was so ashamed because I thought if they find out that I have a dad in jail, they're gonna not trust me. Like, they're gonna think that something's wrong with me. And you just imagine, like, growing up like that, like always thinking that something was wrong with you and that.

Yeah. So you form this, like, needs of people, please, really early.

Yeah. And to prove people wrong, you know, to kind of like, you know, make. Make myself known, make myself significant.

Yeah. Yeah. So, like, I've got to be accepted and they're not going to accept me this way.

Mm.

Yeah. So how does that, like, growing up like that, I mean, you almost had to be the parent in some ways it seems like too, you know, your dad's not there, your mom's going through all these struggles.

Oh, 100%. I remember. I remember my mom got remarried when I was 10, and I didn't think he was the right guy for her. And so I moved out of my mom's house when I.

With my.

And moved in with my aunt because I'm just like, this is no, like, I don't like him. And I ended up going back home. But I thought from a very young age, I just knew it all.

Did your. And your mom just let you move out?

Yeah. Yeah, my mom. So this is the one thing that I just. I love about my mom is that she always made me feel like I was extremely special. And so she didn't want to make me feel wrong for not wanting to be a part of that family. You know what I mean? So she was like, okay. And then I ended up missing her and coming back home.

So I'm picturing my 11 year old saying, mom, I'm moving out.

And I just.

It wouldn't jibe.

Would not work. Well, I know. Yeah. But she, you know, I ended up going back home and they ended up staying married for A long time. They're divorced now, but see, we're right. I know. I was. I tried to not say that when they got a divorce, but anyway, yeah, so I was. I was very, like, I was a mature per. Not. I wouldn't say even mature, but I was just like, I had to grow up. And like, I looked at life from very different. Like, I don't remember playing as a child. I remember always, like, devising a plan on how to get out of this.

Oh, yeah, devising a plan. Now, how did you, like, did you have any contact with your dad while he's incarcerated?

I would always go and visit him. My grandma would. My grandma would take us probably like once a month. So I know people are like, yeah, I've been to the prison. I've been through the whole, like, you know, pat down all that kind of stuff. And so. And I remember I would go in when I was 16 years old and I would know he was. Because he would ask me for money because I had a job since I was like 13 years old, and he would ask me for money anytime he needed it, even when he was using drugs. And I decided when I was 16 one time, oh, I'm going to go find him. I'm going to save him. And I would go into drug houses in this, like, really bad part of town and try to, like, find him.

Wow.

I mean, I just. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. I was just like, very, like, set in my ways, like, I'm going to save him.

So. Kayla, I'm so. This is deep stuff as a kid. I mean, you're really dealing with some deep stuff here. And I, you know, I think a lot of people, a lot of adults would blame their non action, their non success. They're not happy life now because of being that as a kid. So why did it. Was it different for you?

100%. And I have, like. My little brother is like, kind of. And he's getting it together now, but for a long time it was like, you know, a victim of it. And I really believe that. The one thing my mom always did was she took me to church. And so I always knew that there was a higher power. And that really helped me. I knew that all of my pain was not going to be for waste. Like, God, I knew God was going to do something with it, and so I just believed. And I had hope and faith at a very young age, just carrying me through. And I was never, like. I did go through a little part of, like, being a victim when I was like 18 years old. I kind of thought, you know, people should just give me a car and give me things and all that, you know, like, oh, gosh, when is life going to become easy for me?

Yeah.

Now I've just realized that, you know, everything happened for me, but this all happened in the form of books. I didn't know anybody that was, like, wanting to invest in me and help change my life. I just started reading books and realized.

Yeah, and how did you even decide to read these books? Because, like, you could have easily stayed in that victim mentality. Like, why is life so hard? And we know. We all know people that stay and live there. Like, why is life so hard? When am I going to get a break? I have had this happen. Like, so for you to even go pick up these books, like, what drove you to do that? And who told you what to get and how'd you find them?

Okay, so this is. Then you're like, oh, my gosh. So When I was 18, I was hospitalized because I had given myself ulcers from stress. Yeah.

I'm not surprised. Yeah.

So I had to get, like, a blood transfusion and everything and really change my diet.

Okay.

So that started me into this path of reading. I read. I became a raw foodist and started down this whole path. I can't even remember the name of the celebrity, the book that I read. But that's kind of what started it. I realized there. And they talked about positive thinking, and so I would just. I was looking into, like, more positive thinking books. And then I read Secrets of a Millionaire Mind, and, you know, it's. It was just kind of like going to the bookstore, really. And it started out all by becoming a raw foodist, even though I'm not one anymore. But. Yeah, yeah.

Did you have a little voice in your head when you were reading a.

Lot of this positive stuff?

Like, okay, that happens for those people, but not me. Did you have to fight that voice at all?

You know what? I don't ever remember thinking that. I always kind of. I mean, when I was. I remember being 8 years old and knowing that I was going to be like, someone special and help a lot of people.

Oh, you know, that's a commonality, Kayla. I want to share that. I hope people are picking up on that. Really? Almost everybody I've interviewed, they had that commonality. They just knew, and they held onto that belief versus, like, letting that belief in that they wouldn't be successful.

Oh, yeah. I've heard that a lot of times, too. And it's not that I don't struggle with not feeling good enough because, trust me, I, like, totally will struggle with imposter syndrome and all of that kind of stuff, but it's just like a deeper knowing that. Yeah. Like, I was made for more. So I'm gonna keep going.

Yeah. Can you talk about that a minute? Imposter syndrome. I don't know that anyone's brought that up before on my show. Like, I know what that means. I want to make sure my audience knows what it means. What does that mean to you? And talk a little bit about that.

You know, like, I remember when I made my first million and, like, getting recognized for it, and I. And I remember thinking, I'm an imposter. Did I really do this? I just feel like a fraud when I was getting all the recognition for it. Like, I didn't really make this happen. Like, it was, like, these lies that I was kind of, like, having in my brain, and I didn't feel good enough to be like all the other millionaires. It was weird.

Isn't it crazy? How many. For those of you listening, this is a common theme with successful people, that they, even at their highest success, think they have a thought of imposter syndrome.

And I think it's because we, like, people like us are so focused on working hard and, you know, getting to the top of whatever that is. And sometimes we can even become our own hypocrites because there's a standard of expectation that we will never even live up to. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. So you start reading these books, you start changing your mindset. Did you have to start hanging out with different people? Did you. How did you keep yourself in that game to start creating what you created?

Yeah. So I was. I was probably, like, a little bit of a loner in my 20s just because, like, especially in the early 20s, because I had really gotten good at cutting off anybody that not got in my way, but that didn't think the way that I thought. And I obviously had done that from a very early age because of my dad. So it was kind of like, if you got on my nerves, cut off. If you did something bad to me, cut off. Like, I had no right. Yeah. Oh, that's a good point. Never thought about it like that. Yes. So I. It wasn't hard for me. Like, I didn't have a ton of friends when I decided I was going to be an entrepreneur and, like, shift gears. So what I found, though, is that tribe is everything, like, to go to that next level. Like, it's not an option to do it alone. Like, you can't it. You have to be in the right environment with the right people, like, connected to the right people lifting you up.

Yeah, it is everything. So, okay, so what was your first idea? Like, how did you get to your first idea of. Because now you've got four businesses and I'm sure you've had more than that. I'm. I'm guessing. So how did you get to your first idea, and how did you make that come to fruition?

Okay, so I. I did network marketing when I was 23. I was working as an ER nurse, and I had done network marketing previously when I was like, 18 and it didn't work out. And when I found this company when I was 23, I loved the products and I met the founders of the company and I was like, yes, like, this is going to be my ticket out of nursing. Like, it's amazing. And so it took me three years to make my first million. And then it was kind of like I figured it out and I knew I could no longer be an employee. So I left nursing and. And then really focused in on network marketing. Then turned into kind of like the business coaching side.

Okay.

And that was a whole different shift because, you know, if you're in the lane of network marketing, you're expected to only do that. And so we got a lot of heat for switching gears and going into business coaching. But I absolutely loved that. And then the more time I spent in the rooms of successful people, the more ideas came to me about how to do different businesses. So I think it's important to. Like, that's just like, the point of a mastermind is it's battery power, like, more brain power. When you're in the room of successful people, you guys can bounce ideas off of each other. They may see something in you or a talent in you that you don't see, and they can call you out and be like, hey, why? Have you ever thought about this?

Yeah. You know, that's so huge because I think a lot of people, they think, well, I can't afford a mastermind, or I can't do this.

But, like.

But what happens is if you stay with your same circle all the time of people that can't afford or don't have or are not doing, you start being the oddball with your ideas. So then you don't really advance your ideas. You kind of stay stuck.

But as soon as you.

I'm. I'm with you. As soon as you're up leveling your crowd Whether and if you. And if. It's really not a time when you can be in a mastermind, but you're using books like you did, podcasts, other things, you start thinking differently. It really starts changing your thought process.

And your creativity 100%.

So your first business was really the network marketing, and then you moved over to business coaching, and then you added on from there. Like, how did you end up building from there?

So, okay, and so then Mommy Millionaire was birthed. Because I wanted to be able to impact people all over the world and help them where I was at. When I was 23, with no resources at all to start a business, I wanted to give them the know how of how to create a millionaire mindset, actual strategies that they could put into play to start making money. Because I really believe that it's easy to make money. It just is because it's all about energy. And so when you're giving good stuff out, good stuff comes into you. And so I just love sharing that light every single day because I truly believe no one should have to struggle. And I wanted to do that for free via my podcast. So that's how Mommy Millionaire was birthed. And then all these things are coming from it. The mastermind, my live event, and then we have a couple courses inside of that. And then what I found out is, oh my gosh, I'm really good at sales. And so I started to do like middleman sales calls for people with high ticket items. And so that's how my other businesses was working.

Explain what that is.

So, like, you know, I will sell programs for people that have like a $10,000 ticket price and above.

Got it.

So they don't have to get on and sale. I do it for them.

And then you get a percentage of that.

Yeah. And it's usually, you know, a pretty, pretty big percentage.

I love that. That's amazing.

And then I'm teaching other people how to do that same thing.

That's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's brilliant. So you, you have no desire to stop. You're going to keep probably growing. I see you doing lots of, lots of businesses stopping you there.

Yeah. No. No way. And then I just, I mean, I just love, like, just, I don't know, I love using my creative energy to build things and help more people in the world. And the way the world is, it's just so crazy the way the world's changing, you know?

So what drives you now? Like, because you, you have, you could literally stop with any one of your businesses. Like, you've you've got it and you've got creative ideas, but you're a mom. You have like, what drives you to keep doing more.

Oh, gosh. I guess for me, if I'm not growing, I'm dying. So that is like my biggest principle in life. Like, if I'm the same person that I was a year ago today, that would be a failure for me. So I want to be a completely different person one year from today. I always want to be reinventing myself because I am just. I see so many people that are like my mom's age, for instance, that are just like, done. They're like, I've paid my dues and I'm just chilling and I'm like, that is like, I'm allergic to that. Like, no way. I don't want to be average. I am just like super hyper focused on being the best me that I can be. And then in doing so, inspiring others to not stop. Like, there's no there. You gotta keep going now.

But what's interesting is you would say you have a life that you enjoy and it's fun. It's not that you're working all the time and never doing other things.

I would say that I think I can totally get into a workaholic mode. But we just moved to Newport beach just back in April because I was not happy where we were living. And ever since we've moved here, like, it was the best thing I ever did for my, like, personal life because I've met some just amazing people that actually make, like, I want to just like, hang out with them and do. And be outside, like, having playtime. And so I think, you know, that's one thing. Some people think that they're stuck and then they just want to stay inside and work all day. And I'm like, well, I just got to be somewhere where I want to be outside and I want to be playing. I want to be living where people vacation.

Yeah, no, I'm with you. And that's why I live in San Diego. So I'm a total. And it's. You know, it's funny, you probably get the same thing every now and then. I'll get a message, well, I would be fit if I lived in San Diego or I would be this if I. And I'm thinking, well, I picked up and moved to San Diego just like you picked up and moved to Newport and made a decision to make that happen. And I did uplift my whole life to do it. So it's still a decision.

It always is.

Yeah. How do you view failures now? And have you had any in your business world?

Oh my gosh, I've had so much, I've had so much failure. I feel like failure is necessary. You learn more when you lose than when you win. And I really, truly believe that. Because when, whenever you're winning, it's like, yeah, you're on the top and it's like things are good. You're just going to keep doing what you've always done. Right. Because it's working.

Yeah.

But when you lose, it's like you have to sit there and reevaluate and think about, you know, new trends and what's really going to work coming up next. And it makes you get your creative juices going and think better, you know, So I. Failure is necessary. And I know so many people don't even get started because they're scared of failure. And I just feel like that it all comes down to the fear of abandonment, you know, because we think that when we fail we're going to get made fun of, people are going to think less of us, we might lose friends, we might lose money, whatever it is. And so we're always just like living in a fear based mode when we're scared of failure. And that's no way to live life. I just live my life on faith, you know?

Yeah. So do you have an example, I would love to know, like an example of how like you had a failure but like you shifted out of it. Because some people might hear that and say, well, maybe you've never really had a big failure. So like, give us an example of a time when that's happened and how you, you know, you kept powering through.

Okay. So I mean, I would say the first time I tried to create my website, I invested like tens of thousands of dollars into doing this blog and doing this membership site where people would come and get trained by me to become a better network marketer. And you know, because people were asking me all the time and so I spent all this money and got 0 people to enroll in this membership program. And that was, that was a failure. And, and you know, it could have taken me out of the game. I was like, well, you know, we're just switched to business coaching.

We'll just, we'll go take us through that process. Because a lot of people listening to this are going through something like that now. So like you launched a site you're so excited about, you put this money into it all the time. You think this is the answer and zero people show Up. Like, what's the thought process that goes through your head and how do you, like, how long does it take to get out of that thought process?

Well, the first thought is, oh my God, I suck. I knew I should have never done this. Well, who was I to to say, you know, I know how to help people build businesses? And, you know, it's like that whole thing where you go through like this grief of your, like, loss basically. And I think that's like a necessary process that you have to go through, through. But to me it's just like, okay, like, moving on, because I'm all about growth. And it was hard. Like, I remember crying and like, literally, you know, being balled up like a baby in my bed telling my husband, what the heck, I just need to throw in the towel. Like, I'm done. Can I just go back to being a nurse?

So did you consider it all like, okay, I need to pay more people to help or throw more money at it before you got to the I'm going to throw in the towel. And how do you decide that?

No, I did not think about bringing anybody else on at that point. It was more just like, obviously this isn't what people want from me, so what else can I do right now to be giving back? And so I just went more on my network marketing business and kept networking with the right people. And then all of a sudden people wanted to hire me as their coach and I was like, okay, well, maybe that's what I want to do. I want to do VIP with people. And then I ended up liking that because.

And I'm assuming you probably ended up using that site to help those people.

I ended up using that site for people that were on my network marketing team. So obviously I just gave them all access to it for free. So it wasn't a complete waste. It was more like, here, here you go, you guys can check out the videos. And it was kind of like a bonus for being on now.

You mentioned as a kid you had to like early on kind of fake it, not say where your dad really was. So you had like a little bit of a people pleasing thing starting. Do you, do you still worry about what people think now?

Well, I think to some extent, I think the, the people that I care about are people like my family, you know. So when I first launched my podcast, the first episode is about my mom. And so I had to have the conversation with her that I love you. I had the most, like, I, I don't regret my childhood at all. I'm Thankful for my entire childhood. But what you're going to hear is my experience. And you get your experience, but I'm also entitled to my experience.

Yeah.

And so you're going to hear some things that you're not going to like, and it's going to make you feel defensive. And, you know, all of those things are going to come up. And she. She won't listen to my podcast.

But that reason.

Yeah. Right. And. And neither will anybody in my. Except for one of my cousins listen. But it's kind of just like, gosh, like, you still kind of have that thing, like you want those people to support you. And that's probably one of the things that I do struggle with. And it's constantly just reminding myself that not everybody's going to get it. And you still have to keep going because the right people need to hear what you have to say because it's going to push them to take action and change their life.

You know, you just brought up an interesting point as you're talking about family. Not listening to your podcast, it just. My brain was sort of racing to, you know, sometimes we're so quick to worry about what our family thinks, but if you really look at who's supporting you in efforts, like, are they, like, I. As you're saying, man, like, I don't know that I have any family members subscribed to my podcast. So it's like we put all this effort on. I don't want to upset my family or my friend, but are they really, in turn, having our backs and helping us up level?

Mm. You know, I just think that family, they want to keep you safe and. Because in turn, when you stay in that bubble, then they get to stay in their bubble. Right. But when you pop yours, then it's like, well, they think, okay, should I pop mine too? Like, you know, what's wrong with me? It's kind of like they put the mirror up to themselves because you're doing something different. And so you just. I had to go through this all this whole thing in therapy because I was really upset about it because my family's super close, and it was kind of just like everybody's on their own journey and you. If some people aren't ready to evolve to that next level, and you can't make them wrong for being who they are. Totally focus on the people that are in your life that want to lift you up.

Yeah, no, I watch you on Instagram and I watch your videos, and you always have, like, so much creativity and so many ideas and it's always go, go, go. Are there ever days where you just don't have that energy or creativity? And how do you handle it when you have those.

Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Good. So you're human. I like that. Okay, good.

What do I do? I feel like I'm always like forcing myself to not give in to that like lazy energy, I like to call it. But sometimes it's like, it's overwhelming where it's just like I just need an off day and I'll let myself do that every couple of months. I know that sounds crazy because I should probably do it more.

A lot of people do it like three times a week. So you're good.

So what I try to do is just like reconnect. Okay. So like what makes me the happiest is being with some of my best friends. So I'll get on a call with them.

Okay.

Just talk to them. What's going on in their life. Just talk about nothing. Talk about nothing. And that's one way is just to connect with somebody that is like minded. That's not going to judge me. That's also an entrepreneur that gets the highs and lows. Another thing I like to do is just going to the beach. That's one of the reasons why I love living here. Just being able to down to the.

Beach and chill isn't amazing how much the beach can ground you.

Why is. It's the ocean.

Yeah, I love it. I have to be near it.

Yeah, yeah, I know. So I mean, I do that and just give myself. I'm trying to get okay with like being not creative sometimes, you know. And my friend, did you. Have you ever met Dr. Jen Christman?

No, I haven't.

Oh my gosh, she is amazing. So she's a psychotherapist and she always says, Kayla, you just need to sit with yourself. Like sit with yourself and give yourself a hug. And I'm like, you're crazy. But when I do do that, I do feel it's like all of a sudden I have energy, you know?

Yeah, yeah, I can totally relate to that, that creativity side of things. Because especially if you are somebody that is creative and has lots of ideas, when you don't have them, one day it feels off, like something's wrong with me. And it's really nothing wrong. It's just normal. But. But that's what we start believing. I get that. I totally get that. So, okay, how do you like. So let's just say you've got your mastermind or you've got Something. And you're in that funk though. Like, how do you. Do you have like a routine that you'll do to shift yourself into it besides like, like how do you get yourself pumped up to go when you have to go create?

I mean, first of all, I always work out every single day.

Okay.

That always changes my state. I always do jumping jacks. I'll do push ups like just to get my body moving. It changes things for me. Breathing helps me so much. I have a breathing coach that I work with.

Oh, wow.

I mean, I don't talk to her all the time, but whenever I'm feeling like I'm talking to her tomorrow. Okay. And she'll just walk me through breathing. And I know there's like classes in LA that, that have like breathing classes, but that's really helpful because I find I hold my breath all day long because I'm just going. And so taking time to breathe is super important in helping me. Like, you know, you still got to get through this. Like, I have. My days are back to back to back until I pick up the kids because I only really have five hours to like get it done. And so they're like super productive, you know?

Yeah, no, that's. Those are awesome suggestions right there. And if you don't have your own breathing coach, you can probably Google online how to breathe and just some, even just some big belly breath in really does change people's states and minds. And I'm. My husband would say to me all the time, deep breaths and I would roll my eyes at him. But when I actually listen and do it. It does calm you down. It does calm me down. It shifts things. So how do you spend your time like outside of work? Like where would we find you doing hobbies and fun?

Well, working out is fun to me. So like last night I got a babysitter and I went to boxing and then went to do a sauna time. And that's fun to me because that's also. I'm. I always go to fitness classes. I don't work out alone because I love talking to people. Okay. So that's play for me. I love learning new things. I love traveling. So like I'm going to be in a mastermind next year where we're traveling and it's going to be like Italy and Russia. So I'm excited about that because I, you know, I'm just, I'm all about being around people and learning from them. But yeah, I mean, I'm going to like, I just like, I like social things. So I love going to parties and that's fun to me. Getting dressed up is fun to me. So, yeah, facials and, you know, all that kind of all the girly stuff. Yeah, I'm a girly girl.

I love it. I love it. Okay, so if this is where I want to go a little bit, I want to get your help on this from people. So if somebody's listening to this and they are in their own personal rock bottom spot. So, like, they maybe they didn't have, you know, some of the stuff that you had happened to you, like the membership site, but they've had their own rock bottom. Like their marriage fell apart or their business idea failed, whatever it is. They're in their own rock bottom spot, but they know that there is something more for them and they want to start shifting out of it. Are there three pieces of advice you'd give them to start leveling up and shifting out of that?

Yes. I think when you're at rock bottom, sometimes people will tell you get clear on where you want to go. But sometimes when you're at rock bottom, you have no idea where it is. Right. And so I think the first thing is asking yourself, who do I want to be? And people you have to take the time to understand, okay, I want to be kind. I want to be full of integrity. I want to be wise. I want to give back to people, like, all of those things. Write them down. Because when you know what is important to you, you can figure out, okay, these are the types of things I need to be doing every day to be aligned with that person I want to be.

That's a great answer. Like, I think people do get stuck on where they're going. But you're right. Who do I want to be? Like, what are those words that describe the person that I want to become?

Mm, yeah. Because I feel like when you're focused on being, you know, there's always a gap of who you are today and who you need to be in order to have the life that you want. And you have to make sure that your actions are in alignment with where you know that person that you want to be, because that's the most important thing. It's not about where you're going, it's about who you are along the way.

Yep, Great advice there.

So, yeah, that'd be like the first tip. And then so I would say, who does that person hang out with? You know, where is that person going? And for me, like, it's so funny because this is how I seriously build my Businesses is going to fitness classes. But for me, the type of people that I like to hang out with, they care about their bodies, they care about their health. They're, you know, liking to be around people so they're motivated, you know, and those people are. Sometimes they're. A lot of them go to fitness classes, and so go and be around people. Even though that's the last thing. Thing that you want to do, that's the best thing for you to do. Would that person that you need to be five years from today in order to have the life that you want, would they be connected with people? And usually the answer is yes. Right. So where are people? And go be in that room. Because it's really hard to be in a room of amazing, high, energetic people and not feel that energy and not start to change your own.

Yeah, that energy is absolutely contagious.

Mm. Yeah. So obviously that would be the second thing. And then the third thing is this is the one thing I will always tell people, is you have to invest in yourself. So if you have no idea where you want to go, but maybe there's just something like that looks interesting to you, and maybe it's been off your radar because it's too expensive, I would say, like, that's. I don't tell people to ever use credit cards for anything, but you have to get, like, sometimes you have to invest money to get in the right rooms with the right people. And if you have to put on a credit card to get to an event, to a Tony Robbins event, go do it. If you have to do that to hire a coach, do it because it comes back, like, tenfold. Like, the best ROI you can have is the one on your brain. So it's so important to invest in yourself even when you're not ready.

So good. So good. I love all of this. Kayla, where can people find you when they obviously, obviously they've got to download Mommy Millionaire podcast.
