I wasn’t always this clear.
I didn’t aways know how I could help people, be valuable. Or even why I wanted to help others.
Self discovery was one big key to the abundance in my life. I’ve just always loved learning and trying new things. If you don’t try a career or business, you’ll never know if you like it.
Back to self discovery. I owe many thanks to my hard-working, Polish immigrant parents for giving me books on self development as a kid. I always loved entrepreneurship (aka lemonade stands) but as I grew up, I began to develop my mind, attitude and beliefs. Wow, life changed! And it continues to amaze me, the things we are all capable of…
When you condition yourself enough, you begin to live out what you learn. You just can’t help it, really, it becomes ingrained. I began to train my mind to believe, anything is possible!
So, where were we going with this?
Aha!
You have something to offer this world, you have people to help or inspire, you have gifts that want to flourish and impact the lives of those in your path. So just start already!

What the bloody heck are you waiting for? (Please forgive the Scottish man that just emerged there…)
Ok, let’s rewind to my first pregnancy.
I wanted to start a blog. So, I studied blogging late at night, until alas’ I built my blog. Bam. Launched. I’ll admit, it was ok, it was a start. The point is that I launched it!
A few months later, I had the opportunity to get featured in a Women’s World column, big success. National press and they included my blog url! #Winning.
Next, I blogged more. I still lacked clarity, but the blindly optimistic side of me kept saying, “You’ve got it girl! Keep blogging!”
I created some eBooks and began inspiring other women. This was deeply fulfilling to me. I got some testimonials from women that literally made me cry. Aha! A discovery is made!
Fast forward. My content goes viral. We hit 3 million visitors. Not by accident, this was strategic marketing. Bam. I now have more value to offer others and I have more credibility.
You see, nothing great can be achieved by playing it safe, sitting on your cinnabuns, and tossing around fluffy ideas in your mind. Create something and launch it in real life. Real life!
Yes, you might fail.
Yes, you might flop.
But you won’t die. In fact you will grow. You will come out with a valuable lesson learned.
As you can see, I’ve learned many valuable lessons and I will continue to do so. There is way to much that has happened over the past few years to pull it all into one blog post but…with all ups and downs, failures and successes I can say I:
- was Featured in Women’s World, A National Magazine
- reached Over 3 Million Web Visitors Within 24 Months of Launching StayAtHomeSusie.com
- have Been Working Online For Over 5 years
- am a Christian Mother and Wife Making a Positive Impact
- am Motivational Speaker for Teens and College Students
- have a 100% Success Rate with One-on-One Coaching
- am Collaborating on a Project with a Shark Tank Investor
Who knows where I’ll be in a few more years. But I know I have value and you do too. So go live it!

OMG, you made what I’ve been trying to figure out so easy. I’ve read books, bought tapes, and studied all this with what I thought would help me understand and you do it in less than 5 minutes. Thank you for the clarification of what I have become.
