Kimberly Olson:
Hey everyone, Kimberly Olson here. Welcome back to another episode of The Goal Digger Girl. I have special guest, Cathy Callahan, coming in to talk to you guys about the success she's having online. And I know those listening are going to want to get your pen and paper out because what we're going to talk about today is going to blow your mind. So first off, Cathy, thanks for being on.

Cathy Callahan:
Thank you so much. I'm super excited.

Kimberly Olson:
I'm excited too. So I've known you now for gosh, seven, eight months. We met earlier this year. I feel like we knew each other a little bit before, but really got to know each other. You were one of the students in Six-Figure Breakthrough Business Academy, blew through the program. I mean, just such a rockstar and we've built quite a friendship. I feel like we're, you know, I see you as a colleague at this stage of our relationship because someone who is really doing it, but you're breaking the mold, you're doing things differently. You're an amazing leader and I'm really excited to talk about you and what you've done, and really give them some practical tools today. So to start, 'cause we will probably have some new people who've never heard of you, have been introduced to you. Can you share a little bit about you and your entrepreneurial journey?

Cathy Callahan:
Absolutely. So, first off I'm a mom building a business in the background of #momlife, right? So, I used to be a school teacher and I was thinking about this time with you today. And I was like, you know, when I really look back to when I really started being an entrepreneur as, well, before I was a mom, I was actually 18. And I remember just, I used to be a swim lesson teacher. And I created this program in my backyard swimming pool, and I made a brochure and I did swim lessons from, you know, but after that, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I never again thought about working for myself in any way. I was a kindergarten teacher, loved it, loved it, loved it. And then I got pregnant and something changed, like something shifted.

Cathy Callahan:
I remember I sat at this horseshoe table in the back of my classroom. And if people teach, y'all know what that is, the horseshoe table in the kindergarten classroom. And, I looked around at the moms who were like volunteering in my classroom, going on field trips with us. And for me, there was a moment where I was like, "Gosh, I'm never going to be that mom", but I couldn't think outside of the box, like I was still paying off school loans. I wanted to be a teacher my whole life. So even thinking like, "maybe I don't want to do this anymore", I fought that for awhile. And then I got introduced to network marketing at a home party. So this is like 14, 15 years ago. Right. So there was no online business. There's nothing like what we're doing right now.
