I went on lots of job interviews.

I hadn't finished my degree yet.

And so I was going into the workforce with 12 years as a stay-at-home mom and no college degree.

I don't know.

When life puts me against the wall, I just show up swinging.

So while I didn't know how I was going to make it work, I knew I was going to make it work.

Life has taught me over and over that I will show up for myself and I can't count on anybody else to do it and do the work for me.

So I've always had to show up authentically.

And even if I don't know the next step, I still take it.

And so I've learned to love that part of entrepreneurship and motherhood and all the things, not knowing the next step, but being willing to take it anyways, because you figure it out.

No, honestly, it was my ex-sister-in-law who was moving and she said, hey, do you know somebody that can clean my house?

Yeah.

And I was like, well, I'll do it.

And she was like, no, no, I can't have you do it.

And I was like, no, seriously, I'll do it.

I made $300 in three hours.

Now, going on all these job interviews where I was getting the job, but it was for $17 an hour, all of a sudden I saw an opportunity.

And it took, I wouldn't even say humility, because I was willing to do what was necessary to take care of my kids.

So I went and cleaned that house three hours, made 300 bucks, fed my kids for the week.

And then the next day I went on Facebook and saw somebody asking for a good house cleaner.
