Our children are watching us!
The ONLY PROBLEM was I was freaking busy!
3 kids, a husband, a full-time job and then this extra business on top was a FULL schedule!
One of the MAIN things I did to maximize my time was that I started using my driving time (and I had a lot of it between my commute to work and driving the girls across the city to competitive dance classes) to LISTEN to self-development and business books on audio.
When I was a stressed out corporate executive, twelve years ago, my eldest was 11 and my twins 8 at the time.
I started my online business part-time, 10 hours/week, in the nooks and crannies of my life.
I realized that in order for me to BECOME the version of myself I needed to change my mindset by inputting NEW information and then implementing that new information.

One of the MAIN things I did to maximize my time was that I started using my driving time (and I had a lot of it between my commute to work and driving the girls across the city to competitive dance classes) to LISTEN to self development and business books on audio.
The first book I listened to was called The Slight Edge by Jeff Olsen! I must have listened to that for 3 or 4 months straight over and over again. The kids were in the car and initially they were not thrilled with the idea of having to listen to my CD OVER and OVER AGAIN!!!
But guess what happened over time?
I began to CHANGE, my business began to GROW, and my girls were absorbing the info like sponges.
They even made a few funny videos with the audio from the Slight Edge because they were so familiar with it (one of which I have included below for your amusement!)
All of that time spent listening in the car literally turned my car into a UNIVERSITY on wheels and shifted my thinking!
And you know what else happened…. my children’s young minds got moulded to believe they could do ANYTHING they set their minds to.
Today my three girls are working on creating TV shows and a production company together. It amazes me to hear them regurgitate what they have learned through both osmosis and observation, in part, by watching me learn and grow. My journey to achieve big goals, talking about what I was doing, and then actually following through and DOING IT - gave them the proof that they could do anything too.
So the next time you have a dream to start something new, or you want to transition into a new line of work, or pursue a passion project… adopt the “university on wheels” method to maximize your time, eliminate your excuses and GO AFTER your biggest best most beautiful life!
I am here to provide recommendations for books if needed! Just DM me. I have read hundreds!
Do you use car time to listen to podcasts, books on audio or personal growth materials? Share below.
Grateful to be on this journey with you! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Thank you for being here.
Never forget one person can make a difference…. that one person is YOU.
With so much love,
Your friend,
