- She qualified for food stamps with her first paycheck as a teacher
- She researched "how do people make money"...at the library
- After four kids they were still living paycheck-to-paycheck
- Discovered e-commerce
- Almost quit on her third day of online selling
- Believes in "influencer marketing"
- Offered referral fees
- Started with smaller influencers who were easy to approach
- As she grew she spoiled them
- Found an old piece of wood and cut it into pieces, sanded it, and took pictures of them and sold $9,000 the next day by selling the vision (and her neighbor called it trash)
- Sold her e-commerce business after 8 years and now she teaches others how to sell from home
- Built two million dollar businesses but thought she got lucky

- Her kids borrowed $200 from them and bought products made in America
- They tested their products then scaled and imported from China and made them their own
- Just sell what's selling
- Grab boxes are the deal (priced around $30)
- Offer hints but don't tell them what it is
- People get excited and fight over the boxes!
- Play off of FOMO
- A brand is a promise. It helps you stand apart in a commoditized market. So create a brand.
