As a mom and a businesswoman, I've been on a tumultuous journey ridden with emotional and financial struggles. In this episode, I bare it all - the criticism I faced, the pain of a failing marriage, and the strain of managing a business while raising my two young children. But guess what? I didn't let any of it hold me back. In fact, these challenges propelled me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace growth in ways I never imagined.

On my journey, I found that personal development, cultivating a supportive community, and having the right tools were integral to my success. I touch upon the significance of understanding human personalities and behaviors in order to serve my network better. I share my extraordinary experience of taking a solo vacation to Mexico, which helped me gain clarity on who I was and who I wanted to become. As a mompreneur, I soon realized the value of surrounding myself with people who were doing better than me. They became my mentors, their experiences, my lessons.

Lastly, I put in the time and money to invest in systems and tools that would help me become more resourceful. With all these experiences and lessons under my belt, I became a successful- and still learning day-to-day Mompreneur. This episode is a candid chronicle of my trials and triumphs. And if I can do it, so can you. Tune in, listen to my story, and let it inspire you to conquer your own challenges and aim for success.

Daphne Walter:

Hey there, mamas, welcome back to the Mompreneur. Like a Rockstar podcast. I am your host, stephanie Walter, and here we are with episode number two. Now I promise you this episode is not going to be as long as the first one, but still be sure to stay to the very end, especially if you are a fellow mompreneur, because I have something very exciting to offer you. Okay, so here we are again, the second episode, second time doing this podcast.

Daphne Walter:

I often say sometimes doing something the second time is literally harder than the first, and I know things do get easier the more you repeat a behavior. But there's just something about that second time doing something that just freaking scares me. Let me just kind of give you an example. Sometimes, when I think about the second time or equilibrating it to like a day two, I think about it like a weight loss journey, obviously in the fitness coach. So when you embark on a new weight loss journey, what happens when you first get started? You're really excited. Now, you might be a little nervous, I get that, but more so you're excited, you're motivated, you've got goals. Maybe you went out and bought a new workout outfit, you prepped your meals over the weekend, and then here comes that day one Monday rolls around. You get your workout done, you ate all the food that you had in the refrigerator, everything went awesome. But then day two shows up and you're not feeling like showing up. It feels like someone threw your body into the dryer. You're already really not feeling like eating the same thing you had for lunch yesterday and, let's be honest, no one even liked on your sweaty selfie that you posted on social media. So at this point, you're already starting to second guess your ability to do this. Have you ever been there the second day, the second time?

Daphne Walter:

Doing something is a mental challenge. Honestly, this second episode writing the second episode has been such a mental challenge and why it's actually taking me a little bit longer than I wanted it to. Let me tell you why. I went out and did something I knew damn well I should not have done. After I posted my podcast, I went out and listened to the first episode episode one, obviously and I started critiquing every single thing that I did wrong. How many of us has done have done that right? Especially like when you start something new, you're like, oh gosh, no matter if you got good feedback or what, we are our own worst critics.

Daphne Walter:

So here I go back into episode number one and I'm listening to it and let's just be honest right from the get go, I have no intro music. I still don't. I have someone who's working on it right now, but I didn't want to delay getting another episode out. But I was a little embarrassed because it felt a little less professional than I really wanted my first couple episodes to be. Also, I don't have the Beth Math skills, and so at one point in the episode I was trying to do math backwards in my head really fast and I totally just bombed on the date it said I started all this, my career, in, like 2020. I'm like no, I've really been doing this a lot longer than three years.

Daphne Walter:

So you know, I went back, tried to edit it I'm not the best with the editor yet and it was one of those things. Do I spend all this extra time trying to edit out like one date or do we just roll with it and chalk it up? Is just owning our mistake, right? And then the other thing I noticed in the episode and maybe some of you noticed this too there was one point where I lost my train of thought and I started freaking out, and this is usually when panic sets in and I'm like, stop the recording, let's rerecord this. But I didn't wanna do that. So here I'm trying to like gather my thoughts and my words in my head, and it felt like I don't know 10 minutes had passed by and I was just stuttering and stuttering and stuttering and it didn't sound like that in the recording, but I knew the exact spot that I did that and so in the back of my mind, you know, I had that kind of weighing on me.

Daphne Walter:

So here I go out and I criticize, you know, a couple of things in the first episode, which was already bad enough, and then I did something that I really should not have done and I went out and read my reviews. So I noticed that most people gave me five stars. So thank you, thank you very much. But there is one person and obviously I can't tell who, and it doesn't really even matter but there is one person who rated the show a four out of five stars. Now, I'm not even saying that that's going to be bad, right, four out of five is still a good rating. But let me just tell you, at the time I'm reading these ratings and reviews.

Daphne Walter:

I really hadn't announced that my podcast was public yet, like I hadn't published. And then the night before I sent out a text message to a bunch of my friends and I was like, hey, I just published my first episode Before I announced it to social media. Can y'all go out and listen to it, you know, and be so kind and maybe give me a review? So what I'm saying is it was my own friend, one of my own homies, who gave me a four star and I'm thinking you couldn't even like help a girl out in the Apple algorithm and like just give me a five. But no, that's okay and honestly, y'all, it could have been worse. It could have been a one star, right. And even if it was a one star, I can't get so down on myself. It's not like I failed. That's just somebody's opinion and they're entitled to that. It's gonna happen. It's gonna happen that I'm not everyone's jam and you're not gonna be everyone's jam and, like I said, quite honestly, they could have rated me worse.

Daphne Walter:

But what I'm getting at is this second episode has taken a lot more guts to do because I have been so focused more on the few things that didn't go so well in the first episode versus all the awesome things that I did do. So that's gonna lead us into our topic today, which is mom to entrepreneur mogul, because one of the biggest questions that I get asked, especially in business, the most is when was the pivotal moment that I decided to take charge of my life and become a mompreneur? So let me just answer that question in just a couple minutes. But I first wanna share with you the pivotal moment when my husband realized that my little side business was legit. So I don't know if I mentioned quite in the first episode when I was giving you all my background, but when I first started with Beachbody in 2011, my goal was not to build a business. I was not going to be one of those network marketers.

Daphne Walter:

Like many people, especially women, that signed up with Beachbody, I wanted to discount on the products because I was trying to lose weight from having my second baby. She was, I think, about five, six months old at the time when I got started, but I was also a stay at home mom. So if there was a small opportunity where I can earn a couple hundred bucks a month, I wasn't gonna turn that down. And my husband usually he's a little skeptical. You know, the first time I mentioned I'm gonna do something new. But he's always supportive. At the end of the day he gives me his support. Usually he just leaves me alone and says just tell me how much this is gonna cost me, right? So he's super supportive. And he just happened to mention hey, if you can make just enough money to pay the cell phone bill every month, that'll kind of make up for the time that you spend working on this business. So that was my first goal was just to make enough money to pay the cell phone bill. So I did that. And then we talked about maybe me making enough money to pay a car payment. And then I got to that point. And then I remember it was a Thursday morning and I'm downstairs in my little kitchen dining area with my mom and still to this day, 12 and a half years later, my mom really does not understand what I do as a coach. So I'm a couple of years into the business trying to think yeah, about a couple of years into the business, and because I didn't really start working the business until months and months and months after I had signed up, cause again, I just wanted to discount. So my mom is over and I'm showing her our coach online office.

Daphne Walter:

You know where you can see your team and who you have signed up and what your rank is and your commissions. We get paid every week. So your commissions for the week? Well, thursdays in the Beachbody world is payday, it's rank advancement day payday, et cetera. So I look and I have my biggest commission check for the week. It's like $400 and something. And I'm like dang mom, look, I got, I got paid $400 this week. And I don't know how I heard or how he heard, because he was upstairs, my husband was. But as soon as I said I got paid $400 for the week, out of the corner of my eye I see him flying down the stairs. He's like holding the rail with one hand and the other hand is waving in the air and he's shouting you can make a mortgage payment now. So, oh gosh, I just got chills telling you guys that story. So I guess you could say that that was a pivotal moment for him. But when people ask me about a pivotal moment, that's a really hard question because there have been so many endeavors that I've embarked upon that, by definition, would consider me a mompreneur and I feel like over the years, I've been growing and evolving through so many different phases of motherhood and mompreneurship because of all the different pivotal moments that steer me in different directions.

Daphne Walter:

Pivotal moments happen every day. Some pivotal moments are small and require just a minor turn in direction. Other pivotal moments will have you hopping on an entirely different freeway, and that particular moment for me was November 26, 2014. That was the day that changed the trajectory of my path, and it was a time in my life when I decided that I needed to make a decision. I could either keep playing small or I could woman up and take this business by the horns.

Daphne Walter:

Now, before I jump into the story and tell you guys exactly what happened, by no means is this being, you know, calling my husband out or anything like this. This is a very honest story. It's a very vulnerable part of our marriage. My husband and I we talk about the past, you know, occasionally and very open and honestly and fortunately, the good Lord had a lesson to teach us and we never made it to like the final, you know, divorce destination. And today, because of this particular pivotal moment that I'm going to share with you, our marriage is better, stronger and more alive than ever.

Daphne Walter:

But in 2014, on a Wednesday morning it was actually the day before Thanksgiving, because Thanksgiving is always on Thursday it was Wednesday morning, the day before Thanksgiving, actually just a couple of days also after we had just got done decorating the front yard with all of our Christmas blowups If anyone knows us, we are fanatics about Christmas lights and Christmas blowups and back in the day, we would actually start decorating our house before Thanksgiving, because I always wanted decorations up before Thanksgiving. Now it's a struggle if I get decorations up before Christmas, but back then we had just got done, you know that weekend, putting our decorations up. And then here it is, wednesday morning and my husband tells me that he is no longer in love with me. He's got his bags packed, literally a suitcase in his hand in front of me and the kids, and he just moves out. He tells me that he's going to give me six months to stay in the house.

Daphne Walter:

And then I needed to find something, you know somewhere to go, because we were going to sell the house and although I had my beach body business going and was slowly building it, it definitely was not enough, or at the point I should say, to sustain any type of mortgage on my own or rent if I had to. You know, afford that Plus car payments and animals and bills, and you know the two kids that we had. But above all the financial concerns and worries that were going through my head at that time, there was something else that was rocking me to the core, and let me explain. I was raised by a single mom. My mom actually had me when she was 14 years old. She got pregnant at 13. My dad is 18. She got pregnant at 13, had me at 14. And by the time I was like six, seven years old, they broke up. Obviously, they never got divorced or married, but they broke up when I was about six, seven years old, mainly because he was a drug addict. He was always in and out of jail. He was constantly cheating on her, beating her, and by the time I was in my early 20s he had actually passed away from a drug overdose.

Daphne Walter:

So much of what I knew growing up was poverty, embarrassment, judgment and sacrifices. We paid with food at the grocery store, with food stamps. I know what it's like to cash a welfare check and to this day I have vivid images of the faces on my friends when they would see us in the grocery store and see how we were paying for our groceries, I always felt like I had this cloud that hung over me, like this less than cloud and if you guys have ever watched Charlie Brown, I might be dating myself here, but you all remember Pigpin right. So just like Pigpin had that little cloud of dust on his face, that's why I felt like walking around as a kid. It was just this little less than cloud hanging above Daphne's head. Now, don't get me wrong.

Daphne Walter:

My childhood was filled with lots and lots of memories and lots of lots of love. My mom was tremendous at giving as much as she could and loving me, but a lot of those memories were of the struggles that we had, the many jobs that my mom needed to work just for us to get by. I remember at one point she was working three jobs at one time, which meant that I was either staying in before or after school programs or hanging out at whatever friend's house you know that was available around my mom's friends that could babysit us. I was known as the kid that lived in, you know the low income apartments. I never knew if my power was going to be on or off. If we had paid our bills that month, and every morning driving to school, I would just hold my breath and hope that our car wouldn't break down again, because that was so embarrassing to me. And every single night, the only food I ever remember my mom cooking were tacos, probably because they were cheap and easy. But to this day I'm like I can eat tacos every day still. So that really wasn't a bad thing.

Daphne Walter:

But growing up I told myself that when it came time to have children of my own, that I wanted better for them. I appreciated the life I had. It shaped me into the person that I am today. But my kids, they didn't need to go through that, and I was determined that when the time came, I would do everything I could to ensure that they would never have to feel those same feelings that I did. But yet now, here I'm, 38 years old and my whole world, everything I had known for the last 12 years, had just changed for me literally in the blink of an eye, unless I figured something out and like fast, I was going to have to start all over again in a place that I vowed I never wanted to be in again Now. I've started over from a divorce before, but back then it was just me. Now I've got two young kids who were probably a little too excited that daddy had his own apartment now because it had a pool.

Daphne Walter:

I didn't know, I didn't understand. Can I first say, though, before we move on, just how grateful that I am for the networking opportunity and that I already had a semi-established business going. I can't even imagine how my life would look so very different today had I not said yes to that opportunity in 2011. Because when my husband told me that I only had six months left to stay in the house, he also took another jab right after that to add fuel to the fire and he says you better figure this little business of yours out. Oh, I was crushed. I was pissed, but mainly because I knew he was right. I had allowed myself to sit in my comfort zone and just be okay with how my business was going. I was allowing all my own negative thoughts to keep me in this. Just good enough air quotes, right? Just good enough face. Do you know what good enough means? I actually looked it up. I wanted to know what the actual term of good enough meant, and it means adequate or fine. Nobody wants a business. That's fine. How's your business going, daphne? Oh, it's fine, no. So I had to have a serious chat with myself about what my life was going to look like if I did not get my shit together and crank this business up here.

Daphne Walter:

I'd been to stay at home mom for a combo of about, I think, five years at this point. I stayed at home with Dylan for about two years and then went back to the corporate world. But now I had been home with Dale for three, almost going on four years with her. I was there for every single moment, every milestone, every new word, walk, pick up, drop off at school, you name it. I was there for every milestone. And at the time that this was all going on, I was set in a routine. Dale was in preschool and Dylan was in elementary school. So I would work my business in the mornings. I would go pick Dale up right after lunch because it was nap time for her. So I'd go pick her up and then we'd go, you know, get lunch or have lunch and take it to a park and hang out for a little while until we needed to go get Sissy from school.

Daphne Walter:

So not only was I all of a sudden in this position where I was about to lose my husband, literally my best friend, the lung that I'm missing from my chest because I was only born with one lung and I often say that he literally is like the lung that helps give me breath In addition to him walking out of our life, I felt that all this time and all the moments that I was able to have with my children were being ripped from me too. All the inconveniences and heartache from my childhood that I thought I'd been able to escape from were now staring me right in the face. So I had a choice to make I could settle for the cards that were being dealt with me or to me, or I could step out of my comfort zone and go for it. I realized that what had been holding me back from taking the leap from mom to true entrepreneur mogul were just the stupid lies that I was telling myself. I'd show up for my workouts. You'd see me post pictures of my shakes and my smiles.

Daphne Walter:

I was tending all of the events. Well, shoot, let's be real. I was hosting all of the events leading Super Saturdays and, you know, quarterly events in the Sacramento area, sometimes with only just one or two other people, and these were hundreds of events that we were putting on. I was listening to the calls and I was acting the part, so I thought of a business owner, but in reality I was keeping myself in this little bubble called a comfort zone, but always staying more focused on the reasons why I couldn't build this business Always telling me bullshit, like people don't want to join your team. You're not a good leader. You don't offer good challenge groups, stephanie, you're not a sales person. People are going to think that this is just a pyramid scheme or the biggest lie that I used to tell myself you don't know how to juggle, being a mom in a powerhouse too, which obviously is some BS, because, hello, I do. Yet the more I spoke those things to myself, the more I believed it, and the more I believed it, the more it became my reality.

Daphne Walter:

The things you spend your time doing, what you read, what you watch, what you listen to, what you visualize, is what you feel your mind with. Now you've heard the quote what your mind believes your body achieves. It's because your mindset is such a powerful tool. My mindset and focus were on all the things that could go wrong in my business and unfortunately, my business reflected just that. So I knew, if I wanted my business to change, I needed to change the way that I thought about my business. I had to stop focusing on all the wrong things or should I say on all the things that could go wrong, just like I had done with episode number one, and I had to start focusing on all the right things, the right activities, the right reason why I didn't want to just make this work. I now needed to make this work because making this work didn't just mean a higher rank or an all-expense paid trip or walking across the stage at my annual conference. Making this work now meant that I was able to keep the freedoms that I was used to, to continue being the mom that I wanted to be and shoot, possibly even be able to keep the house that I was raising my babies in All right.

Daphne Walter:

So you're probably asking so what changed? How do you go from slow and steady to let's pump the gas and Knock some socks off? Well, I'm gonna share with you. Let me share with you just my three most important tips or things that I did now. These weren't done overnight by any means. And these weren't, obviously, the only three things that I did. But if I had to really go back and Just pick the top three things that probably made the biggest impact on my mindset and change my business, it would be these three. The first one I Drove into personal development Harder than I ever did before.

Daphne Walter:

Everything I was about to do and change had to start with me, so I needed to grow me. When you know yourself, you can grow yourself. And it's not like I wasn't doing personal development before. I was, because it's actually one of our Vital behaviors as a Beachbody coach. But most of the personal development that I was engaging in was along the lines of business, like how to perfect your perfect Elevator pitch, or you know how to tell a great story that sells your products. Now, those are all great personal development tools, don't get me wrong. But learning how to perfect your perfect elevator pitch is pretty much useless If you're still afraid to talk to people about what it is that you're doing. So I was actually going about it a little bit backwards.

Daphne Walter:

Growing myself was the foundation that I needed to make to make all the other changes happen, and not only did I want to learn more about myself. I wanted to learn about other people, so I started diving into Learning more about human behaviors and human personalities. I began listening more to people's needs and how I could better serve them. I wanted to understand them like. Who were they? What types of things did they like? What did they struggle with? How did they spend their time? What did they dream about? Now let me tell you if no one has told you yet Hopefully I'm not the first one to say this but the success that your business will have is a direct reflection of the number of people that you help. Let me repeat that the success you have with your business network marketing, direct sales, brick-and-mortar, it doesn't matter the success in your business is a Direct reflection of the number of people that you help, and not all people are the same. Obviously, you can't communicate the same with everybody. You don't motivate everyone in the same ways. So I encourage you go out and learn about people and how you could better serve their needs.

Daphne Walter:

Okay, the second thing I did but this still falls in line with number one of personal development is I took a solo Vacation to Cancun, mexico. Now, 10 years, 9, 10 years later, I do not recommend this, especially as a single female. That might be a one-way ticket for you. You might not come back. You're good or bad terms. You might get there and realize you never want to come back, but what I'm saying is Go away, go somewhere, detach yourself from your roles. It was such an amazing and liberating experience. I slept in, I woke up when I wanted. I attended whatever events I wanted to, I ordered whatever foods I wanted to, I hung out with whatever groups of you know the people that I wanted to. It was so refreshing and by allowing myself to do this, it became more clear, based on that experience, not only who I was, but who I was becoming Okay.

Daphne Walter:

So the second thing, the number actual number two is more than ever, I committed to community. I made sure I was consistent with weekly company calls, monthly team calls. I reached out to Corporate. I reached out to upline. I was asking about mastermind groups that I can surround myself with. I wanted to hang out with people that were doing better than me. I wanted to know what they were doing. I wanted to know what they knew. The people you surround yourself with become your traits and your habits. This is why I'm so selective about my time in my circle. This business is called network marketing, not solo marketing or go, I'll go, do it by yourself marketing. You should not have to do this by yourself. Get plugged in with a community that you do business with, your local communities, such as Chamber of Commerce's or, you know, b&i Meetings, different mastermind groups, and be sure to include people of all industries, background and experiences. You will learn so much from it.

Daphne Walter:

Okay, last, but equally as important as the first two, is number three, and that is I became a product of systems and tools. Now, I first started with seeing with what my own company offered. So I logged into that coach online office I was talking about earlier and I just started clicking away. I would download every video, I'd click on every form I would, you know, watching, read everything I could possible to see what was gonna work for me in my business. And once I weeded through all those materials, I started reaching out to the internet. You guys, google is going to be your best friend when you are in, well, when you're in any business. I use Google on the daily basis.

Daphne Walter:

But, like I said, I started to weed out the tools that were working for me and or not working for me, I should say. And then I started filling in the gaps with other things that I could find, just like those mastermind groups that I would plug into. I'd reach out to them hey, what apps are you using? What resource are you using? What works for you? Something that works for one person might not work for me, but something that works for me might actually work for somebody else. So that's what I started doing. Is I just plugged into all the different systems and tools that I can't? That I could like?

Daphne Walter:

I, like I said, I really wanted to understand what it took, not just to make this business successful, but to make myself more resourceful, so that I can make this business more successful, if that made sense. So I had to start just trying different things. In addition, I invested money into different programs. Now you might be thinking Daphne, you're about to be broke as a joke and a single mom. Why are you spending money on programs? Because part of growing yourself is investing in yourself and people. I never understood this. People will literally take out hundreds of thousands of dollars to go to college and get a degree in something that they do nothing with. So, for me, I invest my time and my money into things that make an impact pretty much immediately whether it's gonna make an impact on myself, like personal development, things like that, my family, my life, my health, my finances, you know so on. So I invested in different programs business programs, marketing academies, certification programs, all the seminars and conferences that I could.

Daphne Walter:

We spoke about that in the last episode, the importance of going to conferences and, like I said, if you absolutely don't know where to start when it comes to knowing what tools you'll need, hop online and make Google your best friend. So, to repeat, personal development, community systems and tools were at the top of my list when I thought about the actions that really changed the way that I was going to do my business. And those are the top three things that I took action on when I decided that I need to quote figure this little business of mine out, like my husband said. In fact, these are still the top three things that I take action on for all of our businesses. Anytime I embark on a new project, a new adventure, a new business because we have a few of them this is the first thing I do. I dive right into personal development to see you know what's gonna be needed of me. I surround myself with the community it might even be a different community than what I've surrounded myself before, depending on what I'm getting ready to do and then I go out and I find the right systems and tools that are gonna make me successful. I never stopped learning and growing. I continue to stay plugged in with the communities that I'm tied to, and my systems and tools change depending on the season or, like I said, what it is that I'm doing Now. Fortunately, like I mentioned in the beginning of this episode, my husband did recover from his memory loss and did remember, in fact, that he was in love with me, and we are living happily ever after today. Okay, so it didn't quite go that easy. It was definitely a long and tough road of reconnection, but we both grew from the experience and it's made our bond even stronger.

The definition of pivotal moment is an important point. That signifies a shift in direction. At any time in your life, you can decide that you want something different. You don't have to wait for your spouse to leave you, your job delay, you offer your car to break down just to want better for yourself or your family. Your pivotal moment could simply be that you just woke up one day and felt different and knew that there was more waiting for you. And there is so much more. If you want life to be different, stop focusing on all the things that could go wrong and start living for all the things that will go right.
