YOU ARE LOVED With Jacqueline Waller

Howard Brown: 00:00:00

Howard, hello. It's Howard Brown. It's the

Howard Brown: 00:00:03

Shining Brightly Show. Oh, I've got another good one for you.

Howard Brown: 00:00:08

Here we are going to learn a few things, because you are loved. I

Howard Brown: 00:00:13

want to welcome Jacqueline Waller, Jackye, how are you today?

Jacqueline Waller: 00:00:18

I'm great. Thank you.

Howard Brown: 00:00:20

Oh, oh, my goodness. So it's it's amazing.

Howard Brown: 00:00:22

We're hitting the fall weather. It's a little cool up here, up

Howard Brown: 00:00:26

in Michigan, I hope it's warm down in Atlanta, where you are.

Howard Brown: 00:00:30

It's amazing. Let me tell you a little bit about Jackye. She's

Howard Brown: 00:00:33

the founder and entrepreneur and a business partner, and she

Howard Brown: 00:00:37

created you our loved store During the challenging times of

Howard Brown: 00:00:40

2020 to remind people to be gentle and to be with themselves

Howard Brown: 00:00:44

and others, which is so important, right? Give yourself

Howard Brown: 00:00:47

a little grace for you know that's in these group times,

Howard Brown: 00:00:50

they create products to help high earning women who are

Howard Brown: 00:00:54

juggling faith, family, career, self care and bring back some

Howard Brown: 00:00:57

balance to their lives. These are such noble goals and such an

Howard Brown: 00:01:01

alignment with shining brightly because you're lifting up

Howard Brown: 00:01:04

others. I love it, all right, that's you, but I need to know

Howard Brown: 00:01:08

something. How do you shine brightly each day?

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:12

How do I shine brightly by reminding

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:16

people that they're loved, and with some of my friends, give

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:20

them hugs. And with some people, it's an act of kindness, like

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:27

doing something for someone. And if someone seems like they're

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:31

having a bad day, then I do my best to bring some light into

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:40

their life and do something kind for them, even just asking them

Jacqueline Waller: 00:01:44

how their day is, and be a listening ear.

Howard Brown: 00:01:48

Well, that's shining brightly because you're

Howard Brown: 00:01:50

bringing light to them and hugs and kindness. I love it. So

Howard Brown: 00:01:54

we're perfectly aligned. It's amazing. All right, let's, let's

Howard Brown: 00:01:57

go back a little bit into growing up. Tell us. Tell us

Howard Brown: 00:02:01

about that. Tell us some, some moments there when you grow up.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:04

Yeah, sure. So parents divorced when I was

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:08

10, and so I grew up with my mom and my dad was like a weekend

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:13

dad, and one thing I would always do when I was a child was

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:19

making sure that before I hung up with my parents, that it's

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:24

like we always told each other that we loved each other, and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:26

that was me that, like I just had this obsession. I was just

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:30

always so afraid, like even if I got mad at my mom, then I just,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:33

like, hung up the phone or whatever, and then I was like,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:36

Oh my gosh, I gotta call her back, because we did not, I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:39

didn't tell her I loved her. And I was like, I have to call her

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:42

back. And so I'd call her back to tell her, because I was just

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:45

like, what happens if something happens to her? And this was the

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:49

last thing that we said to each other, and I did not tell her

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:52

that I loved her. So that fast forward is, you know, part of

Jacqueline Waller: 00:02:58

that, the fact that, like my friends, always think I give

Jacqueline Waller: 00:03:02

great hugs, you know, and and the fact that, like my really

Jacqueline Waller: 00:03:07

close friends and stuff like that, they're all trained now

Jacqueline Waller: 00:03:10

too, that we tell each other we love each other before we hang

Jacqueline Waller: 00:03:12

up the phone. So, yeah,

Howard Brown: 00:03:14

so Jackye, I this is, like, it's so meant to be in

Howard Brown: 00:03:18

our family. We do the same thing, my mom and not my dad,

Howard Brown: 00:03:21

but my mom says, and that's it. And you have to say, I love you.

Howard Brown: 00:03:25

And if you don't, you, you actually call back and you

Howard Brown: 00:03:28

actually, you gotta finish it out that way. She just called me

Howard Brown: 00:03:32

and said it before the podcast. And also, I'm a big hugger too.

Howard Brown: 00:03:36

And you know, during the pandemic, we couldn't hug,

Howard Brown: 00:03:40

right? Hugging wasn't in right, and now it's slowly coming back.

Howard Brown: 00:03:44

And that touch and that embrace is so important, and it's not.

Howard Brown: 00:03:48

I'm going to my 40th high school reunion this weekend. And oh,

Howard Brown: 00:03:52

wow, people that I haven't hugged in a long time, and oh my

Howard Brown: 00:03:55

god, it's so important. But I just love that. It's really

Howard Brown: 00:03:59

good. So you've trained your your parents now to be able to

Howard Brown: 00:04:03

say, I love you, and also to be huggers. I That's incredible. So

Howard Brown: 00:04:07

all right, take me a little longer. Take me further into the

Howard Brown: 00:04:11

journey here.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:14

So so from that, and then ended up, when I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:19

graduated high school and stuff like that, I was actually living

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:22

on my own, and just went through life, and then life brought me

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:27

here. God brought me here to Atlanta, Georgia, back in 2006

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:33

and I just needed to branch out from South Florida and get away

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:37

from the friends that I love. But that was not that was only

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:41

because I knew that I needed to grow and expand and I had to get

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:44

out of my comfort zone, right? So did that, and then started a

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:50

few businesses. But during the troubling times that we had in

Jacqueline Waller: 00:04:55

2020 you know, mid 2020, into 2021, I was like, I want to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:01

start, like, t shirt line or something that has like positive

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:06

quotes on it. And I was in discord with some friends and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:10

and then this one of my friends on there, she just sent me,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:14

like, this logo that said, You are loved. And it had, and then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:20

it was, like, embedded inside the logo and stuff. And, um, I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:24

was like, Oh my gosh, that's, like, perfect for me. And so

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:28

started it with her, but she's not really much of an

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:31

entrepreneur, and so she helped the best that she could, and was

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:35

going through some other challenging stuff. So then I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:37

moved on, and I was working out with someone, working with

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:40

someone else here in Georgia, and she was able to help me with

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:44

some stuff. And it was just like this progression, but I just

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:47

kept going, regardless of other people how committed they were.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:50

Because sometimes people, they'll want to do something

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:52

because it's such a noble cause, but then they get spread too

Jacqueline Waller: 00:05:55

thin, and then come to end of last year. So I'm still trying

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:01

to figure out my business model and all that stuff. And I sold

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:07

some items, but it was just like products. You know what? I mean.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:10

It wasn't like, it wasn't a brand. And so then end of last

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:15

year, my friend Amy, who is also on our podcast, logo, it has

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:20

both of us on there. And with that, I asked her. I was like,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:25

Hey, she's a stay at home mom and she has a son, and then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:31

she's, like, got this huge knack for, like, finding stuff in

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:34

South Florida, like finding stuff on the side of the road

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:37

that is, like, it's like, gold and garbage is basically what it

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:41

is. It's like stuff that people put out, like on the side of the

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:46

road for bulk pickup, for whatever, and she it'll end up

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:50

being worth, like, a lot of money. Like she's found really

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:52

nice paintings that people were getting rid of, or wicker chairs

Jacqueline Waller: 00:06:55

that was, like $1,000 it's just kind of crazy. So anyways, so So

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:01

anyhow, so she does some stuff like that, and then she cleans

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:05

houses, and then she's super artistic. And so we've known

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:08

each other. She's like my little sister, not blood related,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:12

right? We've known each other for 30 something years. So I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:15

presented it to her, because she's very empathetic. I knew

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:19

that if I could went to her house, I would feel safe and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:23

and, and then just how I always felt when I was with her in the

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:27

house. So, um, so she said, Yes. And I was like, Okay, are you

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:31

serious now? Like, you have to, like, really commit to this and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:35

be in this with me, you know, because I'd already been to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:38

other people that were like, Yeah, but then kind of flaked

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:40

out, which was fine, so I still love them. And yeah. And so now

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:47

she was the one, and I read this book called zero to a million,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:51

and that really helped me formulate my model, and really,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:56

kind of really like narrow everything down to what we were

Jacqueline Waller: 00:07:59

doing. And so we started with a 21 day transformational journal,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:04

which people can still get for free, the E version. And then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:11

earlier this year, we launched an 18 month planner. So, but

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:18

what makes it different is that we just really just try to,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:21

like, help people remind themselves that they're loved,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:24

and we provide motivational comments and stuff like that in

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:27

it. And then it has a lot of space for writing. And then we,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:31

folk, help people focus on three key areas, which is

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:34

relationships, self care and career, and then different

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:40

quotes and tips and stuff like that and questions for people to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:43

do each week to help them stay on task with that. Because a lot

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:48

of times it's women will forget. It will like be we're such

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:51

servers, and we'll just try to be helping everyone out so much.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:54

A lot of times, we're people pleasers, and we try to help

Jacqueline Waller: 00:08:57

people out so much that we forget about ourselves. And it's

Jacqueline Waller: 00:09:01

like sometimes we just need a day to just like detach and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:09:07

relax and do something for ourselves, so that way we can

Jacqueline Waller: 00:09:11

rejuvenate. You know,

Howard Brown: 00:09:13

I totally agree, and coming out of the pandemic,

Howard Brown: 00:09:16

loneliness was the the number one thing that that came out of

Howard Brown: 00:09:20

it. And so in my book, I say, find your happy place. It's the

Howard Brown: 00:09:25

happy place is the spa to get a mani pedi. That's the happy

Howard Brown: 00:09:28

place. That's not a bad place. Mine happens to be the

Howard Brown: 00:09:30

basketball court, and I played yesterday for two hours, and it

Howard Brown: 00:09:33

was invigorating. It's my stress free zone. And I really

Howard Brown: 00:09:38

appreciate that. That motivation to go take care of yourself is

Howard Brown: 00:09:42

so important before you can go take care of others. Yeah, it's

Howard Brown: 00:09:46

the old airplane thing. Put your oxygen mask on first before you

Howard Brown: 00:09:49

put it on someone else. And so I think that you're actually it's

Howard Brown: 00:09:53

motivational and it's transformative, and it's simple.

Howard Brown: 00:09:56

As a planner, I have to say, if you write it down, then you'll

Howard Brown: 00:09:59

do. It.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:00

And, yeah, it's

Howard Brown: 00:10:01

really ingenious that way. And I love the fact

Howard Brown: 00:10:03

that they can, they really do that. Talk to me a little bit of

Howard Brown: 00:10:07

how that kind of brings, you know, harmony and balance.

Howard Brown: 00:10:10

That's a couple of your words when I was digging into the

Howard Brown: 00:10:12

planner a little bit. How does that bring harmony and balance

Howard Brown: 00:10:15

into their lives? Well,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:17

a lot of times we get pulled and a lot of

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:21

different directions, right? And then um so like, for example,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:30

like our podcast that we have helps with that as well, because

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:33

I bring different speakers on. But the one thing is, like

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:36

having um time boundaries, right? So when you have a

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:40

planner, you can actually facilitate your accomplishes and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:45

goals or tasks that you need to accomplish that day, the times

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:48

that you want to be able to accomplish this stuff. And then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:51

if someone is trying to get a hold of you or another task is

Jacqueline Waller: 00:10:55

trying to pull you out of that, while you have set aside time

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:00

dedicated to this, then you're not going to allow anything or

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:04

anyone else to be able to pull you out of that until you've

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:07

your a lot of time for that has been accomplished. So for

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:10

example, like, we're right here on this podcast right recording

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:12

it right now. But if you got a phone call, you're not going to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:15

take that phone call, because we haven't a lot of time during

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:18

this podcast. So if you take a phone call. You're like, hold on

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:22

a second. I gotta take this call really quick, and then I'm just

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:24

sitting here like, Okay, well, I gave you 20 minutes, and like

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:27

you're giving you're making me wait longer. That disrupts

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:31

everything, right? So people don't think about that. When it

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:34

comes to our own lives, we allow a text message or an email or

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:37

all these individual or social media or whatever, all these

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:41

individual distractions to pull you away from tasks that you

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:46

need to get done. And so what a planner does, and the

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:51

motivations behind it is like encouraging you to complete

Jacqueline Waller: 00:11:56

stuff and to make sure that you're intentional about growing

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:02

your career, making sure that you have deep relationships with

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:06

your faith, whatever that is, your family and your friends,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:10

okay? And then also, um, your self care. You know the self

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:15

care doesn't have to be every day, if it's whatever time it is

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:18

that someone's able to accomplish that for themselves,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:21

but as long as they're at least doing something for themselves,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:24

even if it's like five minutes in the bathroom for a lady to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:27

clean her makeup off or for a guy to sit on the toilet and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:12:30

read a magazine. You know what? I mean?

Howard Brown: 00:12:33

Got you got to carve out that time these

Howard Brown: 00:12:35

phones. It's it's not super important to, you know, respond

Howard Brown: 00:12:38

to a like or a tweet or whatever it is, I agree with you that's a

Howard Brown: 00:12:41

discipline and creating that those those boundaries, and

Howard Brown: 00:12:46

listen, you need to check in, you know, and see where you're

Howard Brown: 00:12:48

at. And I love it emotionally, physically, you know, career or

Howard Brown: 00:12:53

financially and in relationship. And sometimes the relationship

Howard Brown: 00:12:56

ones, those are the toughies as well. So bringing you know that

Howard Brown: 00:13:00

these healthy boundaries is so important, and I love that you

Howard Brown: 00:13:03

talk about that, and that you preach that, and it's in the

Howard Brown: 00:13:06

planner. It's very, very important. So tell me also, I

Howard Brown: 00:13:10

could change this up on you a little bit. You also speak a

Howard Brown: 00:13:13

little bit about the laws of attraction.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:17

Okay, so I so I'm a Christian, right, so I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:25

don't want to get like, new age or anything, but, um, a lot of

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:29

times with that, it's like we reap what we sow in whatever

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:32

aspect that people believe, but we definitely reap what we sow.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:36

And if we start our day with an attitude of gratitude, and we

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:43

then our demeanor is going to change. Our spirits going to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:47

change. It'll if we have, like, a heaviness over us that will

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:51

change, because a lot of times when we first wake up in the

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:54

morning, like we'll just start with, like, all this negative

Jacqueline Waller: 00:13:58

stuff in our brains, and it's like, Okay, let me read a

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:02

gratitude list. Let me think about stuff. Let me just thank

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:08

for me. It's the Lord for someone else. It could be

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:11

whoever for providing me with peace today, for having stuff

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:17

come in my favor, for giving me the wisdom to know how to move

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:21

forward in difficult situations and even praying for other

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:28

people or asking for kindness and favor over others that you

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:32

may be interacting with today. So if they're having a tough

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:35

day, that God puts like some peace over them too. So it's

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:39

really just like, Okay, we are attracting what we're staring at

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:44

and what we're focusing on. So we have to decide what we want

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:47

to attract in our lives. Is it negativity, or is it is it

Jacqueline Waller: 00:14:50

positivity? Which one is it?

Howard Brown: 00:14:52

I love it? It's I have a friend named Laura ballet

Howard Brown: 00:14:54

that calls it the living energy. So I looked in the mirror today,

Howard Brown: 00:14:57

and most people don't always like what they see in the

Howard Brown: 00:14:59

mirror. I agree with you there, and I always say, because I'm a

Howard Brown: 00:15:02

two time stage for cancer survivor, I am blessed, I am

Howard Brown: 00:15:05

lucky, I'm grateful. And what can I do to shine light, to lift

Howard Brown: 00:15:08

myself up and then go lift up others? And I read a gratitude

Howard Brown: 00:15:13

I'd say that every day, and I read a gratitude quote from The

Howard Brown: 00:15:16

Art of connection every single day as well, to start my day and

Howard Brown: 00:15:19

think of someone else's perspective. So you are so spot

Howard Brown: 00:15:22

on. You and I, I told you when we first met, that we've only

Howard Brown: 00:15:26

known each other very short amount of time, that we are so

Howard Brown: 00:15:28

close. So tell me about finding purpose and meaning in your

Howard Brown: 00:15:34

life. How do you do it? And how do you advise others to do it?

Jacqueline Waller: 00:15:38

Oh, gosh, I do it through a lot of prayer.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:15:44

Uh, meaning, that's how I like to find purpose. Because I was a

Jacqueline Waller: 00:15:49

lost soul for so many years, like I just that sorry about

Jacqueline Waller: 00:15:53

that. I had no idea what I wanted to do or what my purpose

Jacqueline Waller: 00:15:58

was. I knew that I was great at making connections. I knew that

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:02

I was great at building relationships and with people

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:06

that I liked, especially those that I didn't. And I knew that

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:11

those were just some things that I knew about myself, okay, but I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:15

didn't know ever how to monetize that and really kind of get

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:19

myself out of like a straight nine to five. So for me, purpose

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:23

is having financial and time freedom, right, but the me, but

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:29

the reason behind that is the meaning, which is to be able to

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:33

be fully, emotionally, mentally and financially available for my

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:41

parents and my god children. So that's, that's what that purpose

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:46

is for. Is because if my, like my mom, needs full time care,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:52

and so it's okay. So what am I? What can I do if I'm

Jacqueline Waller: 00:16:57

financially, if I'm emotionally and I'm mentally available, then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:01

I can provide my mom with the best care. If I'm not, then I

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:05

can't, you know, and then I can give her scraps here and there.

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:08

And obviously, with your family, you want to be able to give them

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:11

100% so how do you do that? You have to find your purpose. And,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:17

you know, whatever that is. But it was a ton of reading books,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:20

and I really didn't find it until, like, I had some other

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:23

things I love doing and created and stuff like that, but they

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:28

kind of burnt me out. But like, this business here that you are

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:32

loved, like, this is a time, like, I can see it, you know,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:36

this is it. And it's sometimes it's like, you just have to keep

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:39

going. Like, if you give up, then you'll never find it. You

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:43

have to keep going. I didn't find it, so I was, like, in my

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:45

late 40s, although I've had other businesses, this was,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:48

like, the one that I was like, Okay, this is it, but you have

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:52

to keep going. Like, so if someone gives up, then then

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:55

you'll never find it, but that's how you find it. It's just you

Jacqueline Waller: 00:17:57

keep moving forward, praying about it. Like, what kind of

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:00

books are you reading? What kind of what are you investing into

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:04

your brain? Who's your association? Who are people that

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:08

you're surrounding yourself with? Are they going in a

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:11

direction that you don't want? Because if they are, then that's

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:13

the direction you're going to go in. Okay? And what are

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:18

sometimes, yeah, just and then books, are they helping to bring

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:24

out the best in you, so that way you can figure out what your

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:28

purpose is. I

Howard Brown: 00:18:29

love that dedication, especially to

Howard Brown: 00:18:31

family. It's family first. This is the model my mom always uses.

Howard Brown: 00:18:34

So I love the discipline. I love the dedication. So I in my book,

Howard Brown: 00:18:40

I talk a lot about the lost art of mentorship and being a

Howard Brown: 00:18:44

mentee. And do you have mentors or role models? Who would be

Howard Brown: 00:18:48

that for you?

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:50

I've had different role models and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:53

mentees over time. One lady that was a huge mentor to me, both

Jacqueline Waller: 00:18:59

spiritual and business was this lady, Alice, who's gone on to be

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:06

with the Lord, but she was a powerhouse attorney, and she had

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:11

bought her financial freedom through residual revenue, and

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:14

then really just was able to go and serve individuals as a civil

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:18

litigator For people, and, you know, family cases and stuff

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:22

like that, to help them and not have to charge them a ton of

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:26

money, you know, to be able to help people and be a blessing

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:29

back to them. But she really, and she was loving, kind, but

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:36

correcting, you know, if she was, you know, probably, like,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:41

10 years older than me. But, um, it's like, you just, I just had

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:44

this high regard and respect for her. So she, know, she checked

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:48

me a couple times, and I'd, like, never forgot that. And so

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:52

I appreciated that. But now, in regards to just straight

Jacqueline Waller: 00:19:56

business, I do have a gentleman now that, um. He has believed in

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:01

us, and He loves our business. We're not just a planner. We're

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:06

going to be, we have a journal, and we're creating other things,

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:09

but that he's like, willing to lend us money and invest in us

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:16

and stuff like that. But and I am, he has, he's asking me

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:23

questions that I never thought, that I don't think of, you know?

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:27

And so it's like, okay, I'm putting all this together. This

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:30

is just making me stronger, although my anxiety levels like

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:34

up to here with it, right? And I'm like, Oh my gosh, I'm gonna

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:37

because I don't want to fail. And I'm like, I'm gonna fail. So

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:41

anyways, but his name is Dennis, so he's amazing, and I really

Jacqueline Waller: 00:20:45

appreciate his belief in me. Well,

Howard Brown: 00:20:48

Howard Brown: 00:20:51

very good mentors and servant leaders, too. And you know what

Howard Brown: 00:20:56

checking you or finding your blind spots not a bad thing? No.

Howard Brown: 00:21:01

Howard Brown: 00:21:04

women, and so you're passing it forward and paying it forward
