Today's episode will likely ruffle some feathers as it's been quite the controversial post on my TikTok. My daughter, Alexis, is co-hosting with me today and we are diving into the comments on my most controversial TikTok post yet. People went crazy over it! And it's all about my opinion on a general 4-year college degree being a scam.
I believe this because I lived it. I followed the path everyone told me would give me success. I got good grades, so I could get into a good college. I graduated with honors and landed a job with the top global brand in the world and amazing benefits. I even got a company car! But it wasn't long into my corporate career that I realized this "dream" was really a nightmare. And when I had my daughter, I realized that in the corporate world you have to choose between motherhood and success. I did it for 12 years, but I was determined to find another way and I did.
I left the 9-5 grind and built a successful online business, so I can raise my kids AND have a successful, fulfilling career.
What I learned was that starting a business with today's technology is not only easy but super cheap. Wayyy cheaper than a college degree. And I am making double what I made working for the top global brand. And the best part is, I have total freedom over my time. No more wasting vacation days on doctor appointments or school functions. I can be fully present with my kids, and scale my business right alongside them.
I found that the technology that we already have (and so much more is coming) make it possible to automate my business, so I only work about 3-5 hours per week. Once I realized I could duplicate this, I became passionate about teaching others how to do the same.
This episode is a real honest conversation with my teenage daughter about college and her future. Ultimately, it's her decision and I will support her, but I am determined to raise free thinkers that don't follow the crows, but instead dare to forge a new path being led intuitively to do what lights them up. I believe this leads to happiness and fulfillment, and when you're in that energetic space, you can't help manifest abundance.
College is definitely for some people, but far too many people put themselves in massive debt with no clear intention or direction. And a run of the mill 4-year degree isn't what it used to be. We have to start changing the conversation with younger generations and start raising leaders instead of compliant workers.
