What happens when women trust their intuition and transform personal struggles into purposeful businesses? In this candid conversation celebrating International Women's Day 2025, host Jacqueline Correa welcomes two remarkable entrepreneurs who've built thriving businesses by honoring their authentic gifts and challenging conventional paths.
Meet Olu, who after nearly three decades as a senior law clerk, found herself on sick leave battling depression and anxiety. Through spiritual guidance, she discovered her calling as a certified motivational life coach and founded the Let's Talk Women's Conference. Her journey illuminates how burnout can become the catalyst for meaningful transformation when we finally prioritize our wellbeing.
Then there's Shaz, who built a wellness empire (with 467,000 TikTok followers) after conventional medicine failed to address her chronic health issues. When she was unethically let go during maternity leave, she recognized it as the universe's nudge toward entrepreneurship. As she shares, "Being an entrepreneur is the most spiritual thing you can do, because you have to actually choose you every single day."
Their stories highlight the unique challenges women face – from workplace discrimination during childbearing years to societal expectations about caregiving roles. Yet they also reveal the tremendous power of female intuition, community support, and the courage to trust your unique gifts. Whether building businesses through traditional networking or digital platforms, these women demonstrate how entrepreneurship allows us to create success aligned with our values.
For those feeling called to something greater than their current circumstances, this episode offers practical wisdom about confronting imposter syndrome, balancing family responsibilities, and finding mentors who understand your vision. As Jacqueline reminds us, "In each of us there is a gift, and that gift is so dying to come up, because we were never made to do nine to five."
Ready to transform your own challenges into purpose-driven success? Listen and discover how these women created businesses that feel like "playing in a sandbox" rather than working a job. Your authentic path awaits.

Hello, hello, welcome to the Money Is For you podcast
.
In collaboration with NotableWealth Management Inc.
I am your host, jacquelineCorrea, your guide on this
journey.
Today we are celebratingInternational Women's Day 2025.
And to celebrate this day, Ihave invited two friends to
(00:22):
celebrate women in business.
So, to the left, we havebeautiful Shaz from Shaz
Wilderness, and to the right, wehave Olu, who is a life coach.
So Olu will tell us they bothwill tell us a little bit of
what they do, and we'll just getinto the discussion.
(00:42):
So, olu, give us a little bitabout what you do, sure.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I am a former senior law clerk turned motivational
life coach, certifiedmotivational life coach and
speaker, founder of the let'sTalk Women's Conference, and a
small business startupconsultant.
My journey, or my transition, Ishould say, from law clerk to
life coach came about after Iwent through my own personal
(01:10):
journey with mental health.
After going on sick leave inJuly of 2022, realizing pretty
shortly after that I wasn'tgoing to go back to work, the
question became what next?
After consulting with myHeavenly Father, my guide Life
Coach was what he showed me.
Having a women's conference iswhat he showed me.
(01:32):
I had my first women'sconference last April of 2024.
It was a resounding success andeven I am surprised and blessed
and honored to say I am nowplanning my second women's
conference for April 26, 2025.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Awesome, Awesome.
And also you have almost twodecades as a legal.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Almost three decades as a law clerk.
I was over 25 years I keeptrying to do the math and I
think it's closer to 30 than itis to 25 years.
Did it for a long time, lovedit at the beginning, really,
really, really enjoyed it, andthen it became very tiring.
After all, it's a very highpressure job, right, right.
And when you're, like me,taking care of everybody else,
(02:15):
that's what I did.
That's how I ended up on sickleave is I took care of
everybody else but me,completely ignored myself, but
was the best employee, best lawclerk, best daughter?
Well, I'm sure my mom won't sayI'm the best daughter, but I
try.
Mother daughter, friend, whathave you?
And everybody else's health andhappiness was more important to
me than my own.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And then we have to the left, beautiful Miss Shaz
from Shaz Shaz Shaz, WildernessWellness Wellness.
I'm in theerness, WellnessWellness.
I'm in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
In the wilderness Actually we all kind of are.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So tell us a little bit about your journey, like
what do you do and you know howwe can get a hold of you?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, absolutely yeah .
So my journey started because Ihad a lot of health issues
growing up a lot of stomachissues, I was fainting, a lot of
acne that doctors couldn'texplain and understand what was
going on wrong with me.
So once I kind of exhausted theWestern medicine, I learned
that I had to take my healthinto my own hands.
And then I learned aboutholistic healing and the power
(03:20):
of nutrition and the power ofherbs and supplements, of
nutrition and the power of herbsand supplements, and so as I
learned to heal myself, I sharedto the world that journey and a
lot of people were suffering aswell.
So then I got to go to schoolfor nutrition and I have a
degree in kinesiology.
So then I got to expand andthen offer my services to the
world and helping other peopleheal.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Awesome, awesome.
So I actually did yourbiography.
And the funny thing is I'm veryproud of her and I say that in a
way because I always talk aboutyou know, we have to be very
careful of the words we speakand I always remember her
standing on my stairs, pushingher young head, because she's
(04:18):
still in university at the timethrough the stairs to the living
room, telling me that I will be, I will have my business, I
will be working from home and Iwill raise my children.
And I don't even think you were21, 22.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was probably that exactly, but this young lady has
done exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The universe has brought everything that she said
she would do, and I always I'mvery big about the words we
speak because they're verypowerful, and to see her where
she she's at today and to always.
I always remember that when Isee her on social media and
whatnot, I always remember thewords she spoke.
(04:59):
She wasn't graduated fromuniversity yet, but she told me
that was what she was going todo.
She was going to have herbusiness, she was going to work
from home and she was going toraise her kids at home without
any nannies, and she's doingthat.
So, again, that is to just tellyou how powerful words are.
But, into going on to a littlebit and as we are celebrating
(05:22):
women, women in business one ofthe things that I also because I
creep her page quite frequentum, she has 467 000 followers on
tiktok and on instagram 45 000um on her instagram, because, um
, one of the things I also isthat you know, for me, I'm
(05:45):
considered the maturity, thegensing.
So we did when we build business, when I build my business, it
was all about getting on thephone, one at a time, talking to
people in the streets, talkingto you know, and so I build my
business with some cold calling,just referrals, whatnot but
(06:06):
here you are as a millennial.
You've literally built adigital business online.
Your entire followers and yourbusiness has come from digital
and I just you know it is soimportant for us all to
intermingle.
Just because you know,millennials can teach me things
that I would never know to do,because, as I said, I build a
(06:27):
business where you had to be onthe phone.
You build a business where youshare everything on social, like
true content.
So I just think that is just soamazing how you know we've
transitioned over time, right,and so I also you had also.
Yeah, so those were the twothings that kind of fascinated
me Um, the way you'vetransitioned and how you've
(06:47):
cause I remember when youstarted, you started on um
YouTube and then you grew intothis.
So that's pretty amazing, um.
So I'm actually going to ask acouple of questions in the sense
of you know what motivated youto start this business?
And I mean, I know you'vetransitioned, but I know you
transitioned from a job and thenyou started the business, like
(07:10):
you know, and I mean, eventhough you spoke it, you didn't
actually start it as anentrepreneur.
You actually had a job, yeahRight.
So what motivated you totransition?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah.
So, like you talked about, likeI did know one day I'd have a
business, but at that time I wasfull of acne, I was really
suffering at 21 with my health,and I think that's great.
That inspires me to rememberthat I had that vision back then
, because I didn't remember that.
But, yeah, I did have a job andthen I actually just like asked
(07:44):
for signs from the universe,from God, being like if I
already knew I was better thanthe job that I was at.
I was stuck at a salary thatdidn't make sense for me.
I was really serving people andhelping people, but I felt
stuck.
And then I got pregnant with myfirst and then, when I was on
maternity leave, they actuallylet me go.
And then at the time, I waslike that was my sign and I knew
(08:06):
like I'm better than this job,I wasn't supposed to go back,
but it was very scary.
We were just going to COVID, myhusband didn't have a job.
I obviously didn't have a jobat the time too.
So I knew that like I had to gofor this 1000% and that was my
time.
So it was in 2020, wheneveryone was on social media.
So I did really leverage inthat market where people were at
(08:26):
home and had money to investinto their health.
So I just took advantage ofthat and I started posting, and
that's when I gained most of myaudience, right.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you also have two books, right Two online books.
Yeah, I actually transitioned toe-courses uh, yeah, I actually
transitioned to e-courses, okay,yeah, okay, um, and so you know
, if you are currently have ajob, like one of the things that
I teach, basically as um, aworld builder, because I'm
(08:55):
strongly believe that and Idon't take me the wrong way,
because I know we all have tosurvive and we have to do what
we have to do, and so one of thethings that I actually tell my
clients is that, even though youhave a job, in each of us there
is a gift, and that gift is sodying to come up, because we
were never made to do nine tofive, to trade our time, like
(09:18):
what we do when we have a job.
We're giving up our labor foryou know, giving up our time for
somebody to tell us how much weworked right, and I know this
is how we were trained.
So one of the things that Iwould always say to my clients I
don't want you to just go outand get another job or get like
you know you're like your nurseat one hospital and go get
(09:38):
another nurse job at anotherhospital, because all you're
doing is giving more taxes tothe government, but if you can
take that second job and make itto become.
If it is your passion, take thesecond job and make it
something where it's a contractor created as a business, where
they're now paying you or start,you know, a nursing center or
(10:01):
something that it becomes yourown right.
Because the thing about this isthat one way of building
business is building wealth ishaving a business, and if you
can have something that you cangrow old with and it's never a
job it becomes fun.
It's like you now in a sand pitand you're playing as a kid,
(10:21):
right, that's what us, asentrepreneurs, do Like it's.
It's not a job for us.
I mean, it's hard work.
Don't get us wrong.
We work hard and this is thebuilding stage.
But if you ever sat and talkedto a business owner or an
entrepreneur, they will tell youthis is the, this is the job.
I do this seven days a week andI'm so happy doing it because
(10:42):
it's not a J-O-B.
I'm not saying, oh God,tomorrow sucks, monday coming
and Monday sucks.
Right, as people that have ajob, it comes with stress, but
it comes with a lot of fun inthe process, right?
What were some of the like?
I know you transitioned from lawclerk to this.
What were some of yourchallenges, like in this
(11:04):
transition, like I know as muchyou've done this what are some
of the things and I don't liketo use the word fear, but what
are the some of the things thatmay have hold you back?
Um, because our audience wouldwant to know those things of
like, they may have a passionright now or a dream, or they
may want to do that, but whatare some of the some of the
things that they can lookforward to?
(11:24):
Because I mean, one of thethings I find people tell the
world how everything is great,but nobody talks about the
struggles we go through to getto the success.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right.
There are challenges, there aremoments of doubt.
I'm a believer and I still havemoments of doubt.
For me, the decision was madefor me.
I didn't come to a place whereI said you know, I'm going to
quit my job in 2022.
I'm going to focus on being alife coach.
Didn't quite work that way forme.
(11:55):
I had heard someone said to meseveral years ago, before life
coaches were a thing You'd makea great life coach, and not
wanting to embarrass myself bysaying, well, what's that?
I went oh really, Wow, thankyou.
And then, when I looked it up,that again, that was years and
years and years ago.
Fast forward to 2022.
(12:16):
I had had my cleaning business,which I shut down during COVID,
and I had my t-shirt andsweatshirt business, which was
spiritual and motivationalsayings.
Find myself on sick leave, whichprobably surprised me more than
anybody else.
I am this strong black woman.
Are you kidding me?
I can handle anything.
(12:36):
What do you mean?
I'm highly depressed and highanxiety and it didn't make any
sense to me.
But I was.
I was all those things andsaying to my Heavenly Father
okay, what do I do now?
I have to do something.
I don't see myself going backto a regular nine to five.
Been there, done that, I'm donewith that.
But I got to live, I got to eat, I got bills to pay.
And he said to me well, you'rea life coach and you can combine
(13:01):
the life coach business withthe spiritual, motivational
merchandising business.
And I went oh, why didn't Ithink about that?
That seems so obvious.
And then the part thatsurprised me is when he said
have a woman's conference.
That surprised me.
It's never something I everthought about and that's where
the challenges come in.
But that's your gift though.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yes, and you tell me that all the time Because I've
seen you at the church, yeah,and so I don't think she relies
and I think this is where youknow we do certain things over
the years and we do it and we'renot even thinking about it
Because I mean both ladies here,as I said, these are my friends
, right?
I've watched them over theyears that you know.
(13:40):
I've seen their gifts.
Olu could work a church roomlike there's no tomorrow and she
does not even know she would bespinning around, spinning
around and she's puttingeverybody's in order.
So I could see you doing that,because that is where your gift
is.
You did the church.
I mean we had how much?
2,000 people.
Yeah, at one point yeah, 1,500,2,000.
(14:01):
Yeah, I mean, we went from 100to 2000 and you, you had that
whole room spinning.
Everybody knew you Right andyou, just you had you know how
to organize that whole frontarea and got it no-transcript
(14:26):
said okay, in so-and-so year,this is what I'm going to do.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
She did it out of a need and I did it out of a need.
And I just follow what God toldme to do, even though I
understood the life coach part,okay, get it.
People are always coming to meand I've been told that I listen
and I'm fair, and so I get thatpart.
And although I can talk verywell among my family and friends
you know me, I'm the center ofattention at your house Um, me
(14:51):
speaking in front of a group ofwomen that paid to come and hear
me speak did not resonate withme at all.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It's imposter syndrome that happens when you
become an entrepreneur.
Right, it's being anentrepreneur is the most
spiritual thing you can do,because you have to actually
choose you every single day, ohamen.
And then when those fears come,in that's when imposters,
people are actually paying me tospeak.
It doesn't feel right.
Who's going to want to hear mespeak because you're like people
are actually paying me to speak.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It doesn't feel right .
Who's going to want to hear mespeak?
And God said to me you plan itand I'll send the people.
My first conference was plannedwithin a week.
I'm talking venue guestspeakers, jeff.
I would have friends call meand say I know you're really,
really, really busy.
I just want to ask you a quickquestion.
I said, but what?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
am I busy doing?
And they're like aren't youplanning a conference?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
yeah, oh no, that's been planned and that's what.
But I I thank you for sayingthat, because that's exactly
what I went through I didn'tfeel worthy enough.
But I didn't feel worthy enough, honestly speaking, when I was
a law clerk.
Wow, every well, at least oncea week, I would say to myself
this is the day they're going tofire me when they figure out
that I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Wow, so it's funny that you said that, because I
had that feeling in 2020, whenwe actually here.
I was set up at home which iseverything I prayed for and I
was working from home and I didmy first deal online and I
couldn't believe that I wasgetting paid for it.
Because, I didn't drive acrossToronto and sat in that living
(16:12):
room.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's like and work for somebody else who's going to
tell you how much thatparticular thing is worth.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
But so now I'm just, that's the only way I do.
Business is from home.
But that was the first thoughtwhen I got that first check
after closing the deal online.
I'm like, but I got paid forthis, but I didn't go anywhere.
Right, it's just how wesabotage yourself, but it's just
again sabotage yourself.
But, um, it's, it's just, it'sjust again.
(16:38):
These are things that we growthrough.
It's a process, right?
So how do you balance?
Cause, this is this is like athis in your case, you're a
young mom.
Um, how do you balance?
How do you balance life, youknow, being a mom and transition
, cause, as a mom wife.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
yeah, cause we we.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We have bills to pay right, and it's not just the
fact that you know.
You know that paycheck is goingto come to you every two weeks
is that you do have to do, doyour hustle.
So how do you balance life?
If somebody wanted to come intobeing an entrepreneur.
Like what?
How do you balance being a momum, you know, having a husband
and then still having to provideas a provider there where
(17:17):
you're paying the bills?
Yeah, homemaker.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
At first there was no balance.
To be honest, when you have thecreative vision and you know
what you need to do and thebills need to be paid, me and my
partner didn't have timetogether.
It was.
We did what we needed to forour child and then every night I
would work as soon as he wouldsleep.
I would work till like one inthe morning because I needed to
build a website.
I needed to start everything,but then as I was building, I
(17:43):
had to keep working smarter, notharder, because once my
imposter syndrome left and I'veserved people, I know I'm the
best person for that person whocomes to me and I know I can
help them.
I had to learn to just keepusing the internet and social
media and find ways to make thelittle mini all tasks.
As an entrepreneur, you know,like the assistant, things you
(18:04):
don't need to do, so I hiredsomeone to do those things.
I need any like millionairebooks.
They always say those thingslike you have to be the face and
the head of your business anddo the important jobs the
coaching but the little.
Email your business and do theimportant jobs the coaching but
the little emailing and all thatstuff.
I had to learn either to set itup automatically so it's done
without my attention, or hiresomeone to do that, and that's
what I did and my time is veryvaluable and I do really love
(18:28):
spending time with my kids,which is also why I didn't want
to just send them to daycare ateight months old.
I knew I wanted to be with them,so that's what I had to do.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I do some of that thing too.
I know when my empire I saythis all the time and I'm
choosing my words very carefullywhen my empire explodes, I want
to have people in place.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
But your empire already explodes.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Thank you, I don't want to have to start hiring
people.
So people say to me all thetime, ok, but you're not
bringing in the money yet.
I'm like money's going to come,I'm not worried about that, I
know it's going to come.
And they're like, but yeah, butyou pay for a studio to do your
lives and you pay a brandmanager to do your postings.
And I said yeah, because when Iget to that point, when I
really am busy, I don't want tobe then looking for somebody and
(19:09):
just hiring the first personthat comes along because I don't
have the time to find the rightperson.
So I've got my people in placealready and I don't want to be
working on Sunday and Mondays.
I want to work smarter, notharder, and I want to have days
off for myself.
I want to really practice whatI preach, which is prioritizing
self-care.
So what I do is I don't respondto emails at night or on the
(19:31):
weekends.
So if you email me anytimeafter five o'clock on a Friday,
I'll read it and I may respond,but I save it in my draft.
I'm not going to hit sendMonday morning when I wake up.
I just release everything thatI've done over the weekend
because I want that space and ifI don't want to respond to the
email till Monday, then I won'tdo it till Monday, but doing it
on the weekend allows me thetime to.
(19:52):
If I have some free time on theweekend, I've done my laundry,
done my shopping, done mycooking, my mom's okay, because
on top of everything else that Ido, I'm the primary caregiver
of my mom.
She's 82, she's not very welland she lives with me, so I have
to navigate.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So we both are in the right, I was just gonna say the
sandwich you know you have tonavigate your kids, I have to
navigate my mom before I leftI'm like mom, you okay, like
make sure she ate, sat with her,we watched some TV together.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know that kind of stuff.
But it is a juggling act butyou become very good at it after
a while.
In the beginning you're veryhectic, you're scattered, and
then after a while you're like,okay, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
going to do this, I'm going todo that and I'm the happiest
(20:40):
I've ever been, the happiestI've ever been doing what you
know you were born to do.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I couldn't go back and for me it's like I remember
um.
When it was like the third yearor the second year, I got an
actual um offer from one of theagent that I had put out and his
funny thing is that he had theyhad were offering me like six
figures to go back to an office,um, and at the time I wasn't
(21:09):
making six figures in as a as umyou know, self-employed and I
remember, by the time he saidyou know, this is what we would
offer you I could see my, mywhole body went into a dark
place and all I could thinkabout was somebody telling me
are you in the bathroom again,like, and I and I kind of like,
(21:31):
ooh.
So one of the things that I hadto learn to do is, as I said, so
I had to go back in time andrun the numbers.
When I ran the numbers, I waslike to go away, to go back to
this, to go through the snow, todo all this to get less money
at the end, because among thetaxes that I would have to pay,
(21:53):
as to have a 9 to 5, I'm goingback a little bit of time in to
say that, in the sense of dollarwise, you know you give up your
time for money.
What were some of thechallenges?
I mean, because we'recelebrating women in business,
right what were some of thethings that did you find to be
challenging in the sense whenyou were actually working the
(22:15):
nine to five?
Like you know, one of thethings that we hear currently a
lot was women are still paidless than men.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Well.
I got let go on maternity leave.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Which is the most unethical thing to do.
They made me train myreplacement and hired her.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Wow, but I hope they packaged you out and or you sued
.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh, you had a legal right there.
But, because I was a contractor, they had a loophole.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But there's also a loophole for you.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Well, at the time I just yeah, you probably didn't
know.
Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, there's a loophole for Because they do
that a lot, employers do thatusing you, where they cannot use
that contract thing anymore.
But of course the milk isalready spilled.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's okay.
We can't do anything about that.
We've all been successful.
Yes, that is the challenge.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Especially anytime a woman gets pregnant.
You look that completelydifferent right away Wow.
I have a lot of mom friends whohave lost hours, lost jobs
because of that, because theyknow a mom will always choose
their children and not their jobfirst anymore.
And so that's how we're lookedat.
I think that was my biggestchallenge, and a lot of women
would say the same that they'reafraid to have kids because they
(23:26):
know what it's going to meanfor their job.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
For someone like myself, coming from a law firm
background boy.
Do we ever see that every dayof the week?
Because back in then.
I don't know what it's like now, but when I started working at
the law firms the partner trailwas about, on average, six years
.
So when you became an associate, you had about six years to
make partner.
If you were good, that was,that was a trail.
Well, if you're coming in as ayoung lawyer in your what?
(23:51):
Mid-20s isn't six years yourchildbearing ages like by your,
by your late 20s, early 30s iswhen you want to start having a
family, yeah right.
Well, they have to now choosebetween do I get off the partner
trail, have my kids come backand hope I can just pick up
where I left off, or do I wait,become a partner and then have
(24:12):
my kids and some?
I remember one of the firms Iwas working at I won't name them
, um, because that became a bigthing in the news.
It was coming out that when wewere saying, okay, this is not
fair, we are.
We are the ones that carrybabies.
Men cannot.
So why do we have to come offthe partner trail?
Men aren't they can just keepgoing and going.
So one of the firms I worked atsaid you know what Fair point.
(24:39):
So if you are going to bepregnant, if you want to have a
child and we understand thewhole daycare thing and live-in
nanny thing you can work nine tofive hours.
We get it Like.
We won't expect you to do thelong crazy hours that lawyers
typically do.
Nine to five is fine.
The problem with that is, asyou're walking in the door at
nine o'clock, you're gettingthis as you're leaving at five
o'clock.
you're getting this and so allthe women that signed up for
that, they all, every one ofthem, ended up leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
But you know, you say that I had that same thing.
It's like I remember having anupset stomach and going to the
bathroom and have peopleknocking on the bathroom saying
are you in the bathroom again?
So it's just like.
So I, I said so the thing aboutit.
I know one of the things that II actually even when I sit with
my clients, um, and I tell them, even you know, coming back to
(25:24):
even my son, I remember my sonarguing with me saying you know,
why do I need this degree?
And we have transitioned fromthe industrial age into um,
we're now into the communicationage.
So you know, this is somethingthat we all have to look at,
especially if you're thinkingabout.
You're in a job right now, um,and you're trying to figure out
(25:48):
if I should stay here or orshould I go back to school and
whatnot.
This is why I say this is whenyou spend time with the.
I am the power within you, yourhigher self to guide.
Is like we started off when Iand I, shanice said she knew her
higher self, knew that she wasgoing to be a business owner.
She, she had a gift.
(26:09):
She didn't know at the timewhere that gift was going to
take her, but she was still inuniversity studying to do,
because part of what you do iswhat you studied right yeah, I,
I was going to be.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I was studying to be a chiropractor, actually, okay,
and then I switched.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Okay, so it's within that same family kind of I knew
I wanted to be into health andwellness okay, I just didn't
know what health and wellnesscan I ask you a question because
my niece has just started doingthat, um, not feeling well and
we're all the females in myfamily are all big, like myself,
heavy set.
But my niece was more puffythan she was, big in blame right
(26:48):
, and I remember she came by onchristmas day.
I didn't say anything to herbut I went, oh lord in my head
right, because she just lookedlike she was just getting.
So anyway, she comes to visitmy mom for her birthday.
My mom's birthday is January11th.
So remember I said Christmasday.
She came by, look, january 11th.
She walked in and I went oh wow, what happened to you?
(27:09):
And she said I got tired of thedoctors.
I got tired of me saying Idon't feel good.
I feel like this.
My chest feels like this, myheart feels like that.
I don't have a neck anymorelike I did.
I got tired of it.
And so she.
Her nickname is dr tick tockshe knows.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
She says that's what people find yeah yeah, she's
like aunt lou.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I just went on there and I found out that she was
insulin resistant, which meantthat her hormones were
unbalanced.
You should hear this girl talk.
I'm like I can't believe you'resitting here.
We're not living in a bigmansion of a house, because
listen to you talk.
And so she went to the healthfood store and said insulin
resistant, unbalanced hormones,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
(27:50):
And they went doom, doom, doom.
And she walks in from December25th to January 11th.
I'm like you have a neck.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, that's the power, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Really yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
That's what I help women do all the time, that's
what I do.
I mean, you should even see apicture of me when I was 21.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah the acne Very inflamed.
But the foods that we eat.
Right, Remember that the foodsthat we eat has a lot to do.
It's not like back home, likefrom where I come from, where we
literally take the my dad wouldtake the pool from the pigs and
whatnot, put it as fertilizerinto the earth Like it's all the
(28:32):
natural stuff and so everythingwas more natural.
The fruits that we eat wasnatural.
Here there's so many thingssprayed on everything, so the
stuff that's going into ourbodies it's not natural.
Like even when you just comeback from from a trip and the
Island, I'm sureon was able toeat certain things without even
(28:52):
having to think twice because,again, the stuff is all natural.
There there's no spraying andthe you know.
So all of that creates theinformation in our body.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But it's also doctors not knowing what janez knows.
They do know that.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Well, no, no, they honestly okay, I've learned to
disrespect what they know, whichis disease and medicine, that's
it.
If you don't have a disease,you don't fall in the category
of you have diabetes.
You have this.
The insulin resistance is not adisease, so they're not going
to know how to treat.
You're not going to give youanything right.
The only thing they will giveyoung women is what birth
control pill that's it.
(29:27):
Or metformin, which is meantfor um women or people with
diabetes, but they just givemetformin like nothing to young
women.
Oh, you have um acne, here'smetformin, here's birth control
pill, but like that's what theyknow.
So when you come with bloatingor tired, they'll just say we'll
stress less, we'll drink morewater, we'll lose some weight,
eat less.
(29:47):
That's all they'll tell you,because they don't know any
better.
They don't just, they don'tstudy prevention.
They're made to make money offof your disease.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And it's funny that you should say that, because
when I went on sick leave, oneof the things I heard from
everybody doctor, psychologist,a therapist, friends, family
pastor oh, you have to take careof yourself.
You've got way so much on yourplate, you gotta take care of
yourself.
I kept hearing that over andover and over again.
You know what?
No one told me to do, no onetold me how.
Right, not one person said, oh,take care of yourself, and this
(30:18):
is how.
Yeah, oh, do this and this ishow you take it.
All they kept saying wasexactly what you're saying
stress less, yeah, stress, sleepsome more.
Don't let you do too much.
Get some help.
It's not a solution, right, andthat's why my niche is
prioritizing self-care, right.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
It's important.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It's really important to take that break.
As I said to you earlier, no isa full sentence, no.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah, yeah, we're in the era where old medicine is
the medicine.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
When I lived back home.
I'm from Africa, my mother'sfrom monrovia, liberia, my
father's from lagos, nigeria,and I lived back home from 1980
to 1985.
So I was born and raised here.
I was 11, going on 12, when Iwent back home.
So all I know is this westernworld and you go back home and
it's oh so and so is not feeling.
Well, okay, go go in the back,give me that, see, that dark
leaf, get me some of that.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And that's what we did all right, so we'll bring it
back.
Okay, this is.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
This is part I know we will women.
I know I know so, but I'm anentrepreneur yeah, for sure, for
sure.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So, um, the other thing is is, um, you know women,
uplifting women, um, some ofthe things, like, did you find
that mentorship helped you alongthe journey?
I know that.
Um, we have, like the supportwith family, wise right, like so
, did you have a lot of likecoaches, or like when you were
(31:38):
going through cause, I mean,you've grown tremendously, from
even 2020.
I think we've all come to thatjourney where we've grown a lot,
like you know, even when youfirst started your business, um,
did you find that you had, likeyou had a mentor, or did you
need a mentor?
Or, like, you know, or was itjust trying errors?
So like, let's say, you knowagain, you know people are maybe
(32:01):
stuck in a position or you know, and most of the times when we
talk about celebrating women andthe celebration is mostly done
from a corporate level, and butI do believe that we need to
celebrate women, no matter whichlevel is that?
Um, and this was why I diddecided to do this show, because
I feel that you know women,like people in general, but you
(32:21):
know women most of the time.
Um, I think we have certainshortcomings because we are
still known to be um, the motherwho is the mother of earth,
mother of children, mother ofthe house, and most of the time,
the female is left behind,right To still do everything.
And if you know, here they'rewatching you and thinking, wow,
(32:42):
you know, here, these are threesuccessful women, what you know?
If they wanted to come into abusiness whether it's your
business or any business likewhat would be something that
they can, you know, start with amentor?
Or like even, what courses doyou think you know?
Do you think it's a coursething that you know?
Like what would you recommendto somebody who may want to
(33:04):
transition as a business owner?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah, firstly, I think, just like, getting in
touch with your intuition isvery important, like when you
have that gift and you getsilent, you get a lot of those
answers for you.
But there's lots of things likebooks that you feel called to.
There's like I've done morelike e courses and books, not so
much hired a mentor, um, but Ijust went whoever, whoever
(33:29):
author I resonated with, I wouldjust read those books or get
those e-courses for guidance.
Because I don't have anybusiness experience like
knowledge.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like I didn't go to school for business.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I only know the health side.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And so that's where I can help you on that part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so for sure,I know Shanna's always have this
question.
Sometimes she'll ask you knowand see, this is sometimes, I
think, where it's important,because we all have our gifts in
different areas, and this iswhy collaboration is important,
because you know you have yourgift when it comes to the health
(34:05):
part.
But then my gift is the numbers, right, and an older gift is
it's a lifestyle of how tomaintain that balance again,
with um taking care of ofherself and the people around
her.
Um, and and that's important soif anyone wanted to get a hold
of you, um, how can they get ahold of you?
(34:26):
Like what, what can like, howcan they reach you?
If they needed your help, like,maybe before we get to there,
tell them a little bit more ofum.
If somebody was dealing with anissue, um, you know, give them
a story like what, how to reachyou, you know on and the process
to get you, how they cancontact you yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
So, um, my website is shaznesswellnesscom, or you can
find me shazness wellnessinstagram or um youtube or
tiktok, but essentially on mywebsite you can book a call with
me, like a one-on-one call withme.
That's probably the best placeto get in touch with me.
Or you can send me a dmInstagram.
(35:07):
Yeah, but essentially I offer afree mini course.
That's usually how I helppeople at first, which was
saving my time, but creatinglike a course that you can just
watch through everything that Iknow and what I teach and if it
resonates with you, you canapply to work with me.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Awesome, and.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Olu For me.
I'm going to go back to thequestion that you asked her
about mentorship and coaches.
One of the things they pressedupon when I was getting
certified was that as a coach, Ihad to have coaches, mentors.
So you'll find all coaches havea coach, a mentor coach and to
collaborate.
So all three of us can bemotivational life coaches but
(35:48):
have different styles ofcoaching.
So a different gift yeah.
So if somebody needs amotivational coach, they may not
like my in your face kind ofapproach or they may find you
too quiet and they might findJackie just right.
So they always talk about thefact that we should be willing
and ready to say I don't thinkwe work together, personality or
whatever, but I think Jackiewill be great.
(36:09):
So those are the two thingsthey they harped on when I was
taking, when I was gettingcertified um, which I carry
through to today.
Um for me.
Um.
I've made it very easy foreverybody to find me.
It's just my name, olu muley.
O-l-u is my first name,m-u-i-l-i is my last name.

call with me, a 30 minuteconsultation call where we can
speak on what your goals are,your expectations are, what
you're looking for in a coach,and we can decide in that call
(36:50):
if we're a good fit and then wetake it from there.
I also have my women'sconferences that are a really
great landing ground to come andhear me speak and what I have
to offer and just get a reallygood idea of my heart posture,
what kind of coach I am, what'simportant to me and why it is.

And that put a big smile on myface.
I actually met the lady.
(39:56):
I walked into an event andshe's like Olu and I went oh,
and she's like, oh, it's me.
And it was that lady who sentme.
That comment is how you canfind me on all of my platforms
and tickets can be purchased onmy website, and they can follow
you on Instagram, too.
Instagram.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
YouTube, facebook, okay, awesome.
So we are going to wrap this upand I want to say thank you,
both beautiful ladies, forjoining me today to celebrate
International Women's Day andfor being my guest, because a
lot of my entrepreneursconstantly ask you know, when to
(40:34):
incorporate, if I shouldincorporate tax question, even
though I'm not I'm a financialadvisor, but there's a lot of
stuff that we have to do behindthe scene, even to prepare for
taxes, and so I had decided sobecause, you know, to help
everybody that is actuallyalways asking, especially my
(40:57):
daughter-in-law to the left here, I had decided to put together
a guide.
It's actually it's an e-book,and today both of my ladies will
get a copy of the e-book.
At the back of it, you willactually have an income
statement, which is kind of likeyour expenses, that you can put
.
You know, because when you areincorporated is one of the
(41:20):
things that you do have to dowhether or not you do have an
accountant, you have to stillkeep track of your expenses.
So I've actually put together,you know, if you wanted to
calculate your mileage on yourcar, those kinds of things will
be the back of it.
Um, this is just a guide becausewe do have the legality lady on
the right-hand side, we'll tellyou.
Did you pass this by me beforeit has a disclosure?
(41:42):
It is nothing to do with taxes.
It's all about just like youwent to school and there's just
information about all the stuff.
Like, for instance, if youwanted to prepare for your T2
taxes, it will literally tellyou, you know the balance sheet,
just everything, just like ifyou were at school.
The same information here.
I'm not telling you how to dothe tax, I'm just giving you the
(42:04):
guidelines as to how to youknow what you need to do, and
some would relate to some andsome may not.
Again, if you subscribe if youyou subscribe to my channel or
even add yourself to my, mycorporation, which is Notable
Wealth Management Inc, and it'sactually n-w N C dot C A and
(42:30):
subscribe to my webpage, youwill get a copy it actually is
an ebook, um of this, but todaymy two beautiful ladies will
actually get a, an ebook sent tothem, um, and you know, again,
you could probably get something.
I might get some comments backfrom Ms Olu here as the legal
girl, and the other thing aboutit is that Olu helped me
(42:54):
incorporate my business and Imean that was six years ago.
So you know Olu does have a lotof talent when it comes to the
legal side of it.
So you know it's always nice todo have people.
I said you know networking isamazing thing.
So you know it's always nice todo have people.
I said you know, networking isamazing thing and it's really
nice to have people in thatnetwork, that, even if it's just
asking the questions.
(43:15):
And the reason I also did thisis that my incorporation did not
cost me anything than beingincorporated through the
government Because, again, I dida lot of my own research, so I
didn't have to bring a lawyerinto it.
And when it came to theregistration, I was able to go
through Olu and she was able tocomplete the part, which is the
(43:36):
registration part through theministry, right, so again, it's
not I'm not, I'm not saying thatyou should or should not, but
sometimes it's the options.
We have options and and itwould be great to, um, you know,
to talk to other people otherthan just going straight to a
lawyer.
But, um, you know again, if youwant to reach me, it's um.
(43:58):
If you want to subscribe and umto my web page, it's nwmincca
um, and we will see you on thenext show.
And remember money is for you,money is for you.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Money is for you.
That was not rehearsed.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
That's great.
Hello, hello, welcome to the Money Is For you podcast
.
In collaboration with NotableWealth Management Inc.
I am your host, jacquelineCorrea, your guide on this
journey.
Today we are celebratingInternational Women's Day 2025.
And to celebrate this day, Ihave invited two friends to
(00:22):
celebrate women in business.
So, to the left, we havebeautiful Shaz from Shaz
Wilderness, and to the right, wehave Olu, who is a life coach.
So Olu will tell us they bothwill tell us a little bit of
what they do, and we'll just getinto the discussion.
(00:42):
So, olu, give us a little bitabout what you do, sure.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I am a former senior law clerk turned motivational
life coach, certifiedmotivational life coach and
speaker, founder of the let'sTalk Women's Conference, and a
small business startupconsultant.
My journey, or my transition, Ishould say, from law clerk to
life coach came about after Iwent through my own personal
(01:10):
journey with mental health.
After going on sick leave inJuly of 2022, realizing pretty
shortly after that I wasn'tgoing to go back to work, the
question became what next?
After consulting with myHeavenly Father, my guide Life
Coach was what he showed me.
Having a women's conference iswhat he showed me.
(01:32):
I had my first women'sconference last April of 2024.
It was a resounding success andeven I am surprised and blessed
and honored to say I am nowplanning my second women's
conference for April 26, 2025.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Awesome, Awesome.
And also you have almost twodecades as a legal.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Almost three decades as a law clerk.
I was over 25 years I keeptrying to do the math and I
think it's closer to 30 than itis to 25 years.
Did it for a long time, lovedit at the beginning, really,
really, really enjoyed it, andthen it became very tiring.
After all, it's a very highpressure job, right, right.
And when you're, like me,taking care of everybody else,
(02:15):
that's what I did.
That's how I ended up on sickleave is I took care of
everybody else but me,completely ignored myself, but
was the best employee, best lawclerk, best daughter?
Well, I'm sure my mom won't sayI'm the best daughter, but I
try.
Mother daughter, friend, whathave you?
And everybody else's health andhappiness was more important to
me than my own.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
And then we have to the left, beautiful Miss Shaz
from Shaz Shaz Shaz, WildernessWellness Wellness.
I'm in theerness, WellnessWellness.
I'm in the wilderness.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
In the wilderness Actually we all kind of are.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
So tell us a little bit about your journey, like
what do you do and you know howwe can get a hold of you?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, absolutely yeah .
So my journey started because Ihad a lot of health issues
growing up a lot of stomachissues, I was fainting, a lot of
acne that doctors couldn'texplain and understand what was
going on wrong with me.
So once I kind of exhausted theWestern medicine, I learned
that I had to take my healthinto my own hands.
And then I learned aboutholistic healing and the power
(03:20):
of nutrition and the power ofherbs and supplements, of
nutrition and the power of herbsand supplements, and so as I
learned to heal myself, I sharedto the world that journey and a
lot of people were suffering aswell.
So then I got to go to schoolfor nutrition and I have a
degree in kinesiology.
So then I got to expand andthen offer my services to the
world and helping other peopleheal.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Awesome, awesome.
So I actually did yourbiography.
And the funny thing is I'm veryproud of her and I say that in a
way because I always talk aboutyou know, we have to be very
careful of the words we speakand I always remember her
standing on my stairs, pushingher young head, because she's
(04:18):
still in university at the timethrough the stairs to the living
room, telling me that I will be, I will have my business, I
will be working from home and Iwill raise my children.
And I don't even think you were21, 22.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I was probably that exactly, but this young lady has
done exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The universe has brought everything that she said
she would do, and I always I'mvery big about the words we
speak because they're verypowerful, and to see her where
she she's at today and to always.
I always remember that when Isee her on social media and
whatnot, I always remember thewords she spoke.
(04:59):
She wasn't graduated fromuniversity yet, but she told me
that was what she was going todo.
She was going to have herbusiness, she was going to work
from home and she was going toraise her kids at home without
any nannies, and she's doingthat.
So, again, that is to just tellyou how powerful words are.
But, into going on to a littlebit and as we are celebrating
(05:22):
women, women in business one ofthe things that I also because I
creep her page quite frequentum, she has 467 000 followers on
tiktok and on instagram 45 000um on her instagram, because, um
, one of the things I also isthat you know, for me, I'm
(05:45):
considered the maturity, thegensing.
So we did when we build business, when I build my business, it
was all about getting on thephone, one at a time, talking to
people in the streets, talkingto you know, and so I build my
business with some cold calling,just referrals, whatnot but
(06:06):
here you are as a millennial.
You've literally built adigital business online.
Your entire followers and yourbusiness has come from digital
and I just you know it is soimportant for us all to
intermingle.
Just because you know,millennials can teach me things
that I would never know to do,because, as I said, I build a
(06:27):
business where you had to be onthe phone.
You build a business where youshare everything on social, like
true content.
So I just think that is just soamazing how you know we've
transitioned over time, right,and so I also you had also.
Yeah, so those were the twothings that kind of fascinated
me Um, the way you'vetransitioned and how you've
(06:47):
cause I remember when youstarted, you started on um
YouTube and then you grew intothis.
So that's pretty amazing, um.
So I'm actually going to ask acouple of questions in the sense
of you know what motivated youto start this business?
And I mean, I know you'vetransitioned, but I know you
transitioned from a job and thenyou started the business, like
(07:10):
you know, and I mean, eventhough you spoke it, you didn't
actually start it as anentrepreneur.
You actually had a job, yeahRight.
So what motivated you totransition?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah.
So, like you talked about, likeI did know one day I'd have a
business, but at that time I wasfull of acne, I was really
suffering at 21 with my health,and I think that's great.
That inspires me to rememberthat I had that vision back then
, because I didn't remember that.
But, yeah, I did have a job andthen I actually just like asked
(07:44):
for signs from the universe,from God, being like if I
already knew I was better thanthe job that I was at.
I was stuck at a salary thatdidn't make sense for me.
I was really serving people andhelping people, but I felt
stuck.
And then I got pregnant with myfirst and then, when I was on
maternity leave, they actuallylet me go.
And then at the time, I waslike that was my sign and I knew
(08:06):
like I'm better than this job,I wasn't supposed to go back,
but it was very scary.
We were just going to COVID, myhusband didn't have a job.
I obviously didn't have a jobat the time too.
So I knew that like I had to gofor this 1000% and that was my
time.
So it was in 2020, wheneveryone was on social media.
So I did really leverage inthat market where people were at
(08:26):
home and had money to investinto their health.
So I just took advantage ofthat and I started posting, and
that's when I gained most of myaudience, right.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
So you also have two books, right Two online books.
Yeah, I actually transitioned toe-courses uh, yeah, I actually
transitioned to e-courses, okay,yeah, okay, um, and so you know
, if you are currently have ajob, like one of the things that
I teach, basically as um, aworld builder, because I'm
(08:55):
strongly believe that and Idon't take me the wrong way,
because I know we all have tosurvive and we have to do what
we have to do, and so one of thethings that I actually tell my
clients is that, even though youhave a job, in each of us there
is a gift, and that gift is sodying to come up, because we
were never made to do nine tofive, to trade our time, like
(09:18):
what we do when we have a job.
We're giving up our labor foryou know, giving up our time for
somebody to tell us how much weworked right, and I know this
is how we were trained.
So one of the things that Iwould always say to my clients I
don't want you to just go outand get another job or get like
you know you're like your nurseat one hospital and go get
(09:38):
another nurse job at anotherhospital, because all you're
doing is giving more taxes tothe government, but if you can
take that second job and make itto become.
If it is your passion, take thesecond job and make it
something where it's a contractor created as a business, where
they're now paying you or start,you know, a nursing center or
(10:01):
something that it becomes yourown right.
Because the thing about this isthat one way of building
business is building wealth ishaving a business, and if you
can have something that you cangrow old with and it's never a
job it becomes fun.
It's like you now in a sand pitand you're playing as a kid,
(10:21):
right, that's what us, asentrepreneurs, do Like it's.
It's not a job for us.
I mean, it's hard work.
Don't get us wrong.
We work hard and this is thebuilding stage.
But if you ever sat and talkedto a business owner or an
entrepreneur, they will tell youthis is the, this is the job.
I do this seven days a week andI'm so happy doing it because
(10:42):
it's not a J-O-B.
I'm not saying, oh God,tomorrow sucks, monday coming
and Monday sucks.
Right, as people that have ajob, it comes with stress, but
it comes with a lot of fun inthe process, right?
What were some of the like?
I know you transitioned from lawclerk to this.
What were some of yourchallenges, like in this
(11:04):
transition, like I know as muchyou've done this what are some
of the things and I don't liketo use the word fear, but what
are the some of the things thatmay have hold you back?
Um, because our audience wouldwant to know those things of
like, they may have a passionright now or a dream, or they
may want to do that, but whatare some of the some of the
things that they can lookforward to?
(11:24):
Because I mean, one of thethings I find people tell the
world how everything is great,but nobody talks about the
struggles we go through to getto the success.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right.
There are challenges, there aremoments of doubt.
I'm a believer and I still havemoments of doubt.
For me, the decision was madefor me.
I didn't come to a place whereI said you know, I'm going to
quit my job in 2022.
I'm going to focus on being alife coach.
Didn't quite work that way forme.
(11:55):
I had heard someone said to meseveral years ago, before life
coaches were a thing You'd makea great life coach, and not
wanting to embarrass myself bysaying, well, what's that?
I went oh really, Wow, thankyou.
And then, when I looked it up,that again, that was years and
years and years ago.
Fast forward to 2022.
(12:16):
I had had my cleaning business,which I shut down during COVID,
and I had my t-shirt andsweatshirt business, which was
spiritual and motivationalsayings.
Find myself on sick leave, whichprobably surprised me more than
anybody else.
I am this strong black woman.
Are you kidding me?
I can handle anything.
(12:36):
What do you mean?
I'm highly depressed and highanxiety and it didn't make any
sense to me.
But I was.
I was all those things andsaying to my Heavenly Father
okay, what do I do now?
I have to do something.
I don't see myself going backto a regular nine to five.
Been there, done that, I'm donewith that.
But I got to live, I got to eat, I got bills to pay.
And he said to me well, you'rea life coach and you can combine
(13:01):
the life coach business withthe spiritual, motivational
merchandising business.
And I went oh, why didn't Ithink about that?
That seems so obvious.
And then the part thatsurprised me is when he said
have a woman's conference.
That surprised me.
It's never something I everthought about and that's where
the challenges come in.
But that's your gift though.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yes, and you tell me that all the time Because I've
seen you at the church, yeah,and so I don't think she relies
and I think this is where youknow we do certain things over
the years and we do it and we'renot even thinking about it
Because I mean both ladies here,as I said, these are my friends
, right?
I've watched them over theyears that you know.
(13:40):
I've seen their gifts.
Olu could work a church roomlike there's no tomorrow and she
does not even know she would bespinning around, spinning
around and she's puttingeverybody's in order.
So I could see you doing that,because that is where your gift
is.
You did the church.
I mean we had how much?
2,000 people.
Yeah, at one point yeah, 1,500,2,000.
(14:01):
Yeah, I mean, we went from 100to 2000 and you, you had that
whole room spinning.
Everybody knew you Right andyou, just you had you know how
to organize that whole frontarea and got it no-transcript
(14:26):
said okay, in so-and-so year,this is what I'm going to do.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
She did it out of a need and I did it out of a need.
And I just follow what God toldme to do, even though I
understood the life coach part,okay, get it.
People are always coming to meand I've been told that I listen
and I'm fair, and so I get thatpart.
And although I can talk verywell among my family and friends
you know me, I'm the center ofattention at your house Um, me
(14:51):
speaking in front of a group ofwomen that paid to come and hear
me speak did not resonate withme at all.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It's imposter syndrome that happens when you
become an entrepreneur.
Right, it's being anentrepreneur is the most
spiritual thing you can do,because you have to actually
choose you every single day, ohamen.
And then when those fears come,in that's when imposters,
people are actually paying me tospeak.
It doesn't feel right.
Who's going to want to hear mespeak because you're like people
are actually paying me to speak.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
It doesn't feel right .
Who's going to want to hear mespeak?
And God said to me you plan itand I'll send the people.
My first conference was plannedwithin a week.
I'm talking venue guestspeakers, jeff.
I would have friends call meand say I know you're really,
really, really busy.
I just want to ask you a quickquestion.
I said, but what?
Speaker 3 (15:31):
am I busy doing?
And they're like aren't youplanning a conference?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
yeah, oh no, that's been planned and that's what.
But I I thank you for sayingthat, because that's exactly
what I went through I didn'tfeel worthy enough.
But I didn't feel worthy enough, honestly speaking, when I was
a law clerk.
Wow, every well, at least oncea week, I would say to myself
this is the day they're going tofire me when they figure out
that I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Wow, so it's funny that you said that, because I
had that feeling in 2020, whenwe actually here.
I was set up at home which iseverything I prayed for and I
was working from home and I didmy first deal online and I
couldn't believe that I wasgetting paid for it.
Because, I didn't drive acrossToronto and sat in that living
(16:12):
room.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
It's like and work for somebody else who's going to
tell you how much thatparticular thing is worth.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
But so now I'm just, that's the only way I do.
Business is from home.
But that was the first thoughtwhen I got that first check
after closing the deal online.
I'm like, but I got paid forthis, but I didn't go anywhere.
Right, it's just how wesabotage yourself, but it's just
again sabotage yourself.
But, um, it's, it's just, it'sjust again.
(16:38):
These are things that we growthrough.
It's a process, right?
So how do you balance?
Cause, this is this is like athis in your case, you're a
young mom.
Um, how do you balance?
How do you balance life, youknow, being a mom and transition
, cause, as a mom wife.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
yeah, cause we we.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
We have bills to pay right, and it's not just the
fact that you know.
You know that paycheck is goingto come to you every two weeks
is that you do have to do, doyour hustle.
So how do you balance life?
If somebody wanted to come intobeing an entrepreneur.
Like what?
How do you balance being a momum, you know, having a husband
and then still having to provideas a provider there where
(17:17):
you're paying the bills?
Yeah, homemaker.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
At first there was no balance.
To be honest, when you have thecreative vision and you know
what you need to do and thebills need to be paid, me and my
partner didn't have timetogether.
It was.
We did what we needed to forour child and then every night I
would work as soon as he wouldsleep.
I would work till like one inthe morning because I needed to
build a website.
I needed to start everything,but then as I was building, I
(17:43):
had to keep working smarter, notharder, because once my
imposter syndrome left and I'veserved people, I know I'm the
best person for that person whocomes to me and I know I can
help them.
I had to learn to just keepusing the internet and social
media and find ways to make thelittle mini all tasks.
As an entrepreneur, you know,like the assistant, things you
(18:04):
don't need to do, so I hiredsomeone to do those things.
I need any like millionairebooks.
They always say those thingslike you have to be the face and
the head of your business anddo the important jobs the
coaching but the little.
Email your business and do theimportant jobs the coaching but
the little emailing and all thatstuff.
I had to learn either to set itup automatically so it's done
without my attention, or hiresomeone to do that, and that's
what I did and my time is veryvaluable and I do really love
(18:28):
spending time with my kids,which is also why I didn't want
to just send them to daycare ateight months old.
I knew I wanted to be with them,so that's what I had to do.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I do some of that thing too.
I know when my empire I saythis all the time and I'm
choosing my words very carefullywhen my empire explodes, I want
to have people in place.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
But your empire already explodes.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Thank you, I don't want to have to start hiring
people.
So people say to me all thetime, ok, but you're not
bringing in the money yet.
I'm like money's going to come,I'm not worried about that, I
know it's going to come.
And they're like, but yeah, butyou pay for a studio to do your
lives and you pay a brandmanager to do your postings.
And I said yeah, because when Iget to that point, when I
really am busy, I don't want tobe then looking for somebody and
(19:09):
just hiring the first personthat comes along because I don't
have the time to find the rightperson.
So I've got my people in placealready and I don't want to be
working on Sunday and Mondays.
I want to work smarter, notharder, and I want to have days
off for myself.
I want to really practice whatI preach, which is prioritizing
self-care.
So what I do is I don't respondto emails at night or on the
(19:31):
weekends.
So if you email me anytimeafter five o'clock on a Friday,
I'll read it and I may respond,but I save it in my draft.
I'm not going to hit sendMonday morning when I wake up.
I just release everything thatI've done over the weekend
because I want that space and ifI don't want to respond to the
email till Monday, then I won'tdo it till Monday, but doing it
on the weekend allows me thetime to.
(19:52):
If I have some free time on theweekend, I've done my laundry,
done my shopping, done mycooking, my mom's okay, because
on top of everything else that Ido, I'm the primary caregiver
of my mom.
She's 82, she's not very welland she lives with me, so I have
to navigate.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
So we both are in the right, I was just gonna say the
sandwich you know you have tonavigate your kids, I have to
navigate my mom before I leftI'm like mom, you okay, like
make sure she ate, sat with her,we watched some TV together.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You know that kind of stuff.
But it is a juggling act butyou become very good at it after
a while.
In the beginning you're veryhectic, you're scattered, and
then after a while you're like,okay, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
going to do this, I'm going todo that and I'm the happiest
(20:40):
I've ever been, the happiestI've ever been doing what you
know you were born to do.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
I couldn't go back and for me it's like I remember
um.
When it was like the third yearor the second year, I got an
actual um offer from one of theagent that I had put out and his
funny thing is that he had theyhad were offering me like six
figures to go back to an office,um, and at the time I wasn't
(21:09):
making six figures in as a as umyou know, self-employed and I
remember, by the time he saidyou know, this is what we would
offer you I could see my, mywhole body went into a dark
place and all I could thinkabout was somebody telling me
are you in the bathroom again,like, and I and I kind of like,
(21:31):
ooh.
So one of the things that I hadto learn to do is, as I said, so
I had to go back in time andrun the numbers.
When I ran the numbers, I waslike to go away, to go back to
this, to go through the snow, todo all this to get less money
at the end, because among thetaxes that I would have to pay,
(21:53):
as to have a 9 to 5, I'm goingback a little bit of time in to
say that, in the sense of dollarwise, you know you give up your
time for money.
What were some of thechallenges?
I mean, because we'recelebrating women in business,
right what were some of thethings that did you find to be
challenging in the sense whenyou were actually working the
(22:15):
nine to five?
Like you know, one of thethings that we hear currently a
lot was women are still paidless than men.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Well.
I got let go on maternity leave.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Right.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Which is the most unethical thing to do.
They made me train myreplacement and hired her.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Wow, but I hope they packaged you out and or you sued
.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh, you had a legal right there.
But, because I was a contractor, they had a loophole.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
But there's also a loophole for you.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Well, at the time I just yeah, you probably didn't
know.
Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Yeah, there's a loophole for Because they do
that a lot, employers do thatusing you, where they cannot use
that contract thing anymore.
But of course the milk isalready spilled.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
That's okay.
We can't do anything about that.
We've all been successful.
Yes, that is the challenge.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Especially anytime a woman gets pregnant.
You look that completelydifferent right away Wow.
I have a lot of mom friends whohave lost hours, lost jobs
because of that, because theyknow a mom will always choose
their children and not their jobfirst anymore.
And so that's how we're lookedat.
I think that was my biggestchallenge, and a lot of women
would say the same that they'reafraid to have kids because they
(23:26):
know what it's going to meanfor their job.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
For someone like myself, coming from a law firm
background boy.
Do we ever see that every dayof the week?
Because back in then.
I don't know what it's like now, but when I started working at
the law firms the partner trailwas about, on average, six years
.
So when you became an associate, you had about six years to
make partner.
If you were good, that was,that was a trail.
Well, if you're coming in as ayoung lawyer in your what?
(23:51):
Mid-20s isn't six years yourchildbearing ages like by your,
by your late 20s, early 30s iswhen you want to start having a
family, yeah right.
Well, they have to now choosebetween do I get off the partner
trail, have my kids come backand hope I can just pick up
where I left off, or do I wait,become a partner and then have
(24:12):
my kids and some?
I remember one of the firms Iwas working at I won't name them
, um, because that became a bigthing in the news.
It was coming out that when wewere saying, okay, this is not
fair, we are.
We are the ones that carrybabies.
Men cannot.
So why do we have to come offthe partner trail?
Men aren't they can just keepgoing and going.
So one of the firms I worked atsaid you know what Fair point.
(24:39):
So if you are going to bepregnant, if you want to have a
child and we understand thewhole daycare thing and live-in
nanny thing you can work nine tofive hours.
We get it Like.
We won't expect you to do thelong crazy hours that lawyers
typically do.
Nine to five is fine.
The problem with that is, asyou're walking in the door at
nine o'clock, you're gettingthis as you're leaving at five
o'clock.
you're getting this and so allthe women that signed up for
that, they all, every one ofthem, ended up leaving.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
But you know, you say that I had that same thing.
It's like I remember having anupset stomach and going to the
bathroom and have peopleknocking on the bathroom saying
are you in the bathroom again?
So it's just like.
So I, I said so the thing aboutit.
I know one of the things that II actually even when I sit with
my clients, um, and I tell them, even you know, coming back to
(25:24):
even my son, I remember my sonarguing with me saying you know,
why do I need this degree?
And we have transitioned fromthe industrial age into um,
we're now into the communicationage.
So you know, this is somethingthat we all have to look at,
especially if you're thinkingabout.
You're in a job right now, um,and you're trying to figure out
(25:48):
if I should stay here or orshould I go back to school and
whatnot.
This is why I say this is whenyou spend time with the.
I am the power within you, yourhigher self to guide.
Is like we started off when Iand I, shanice said she knew her
higher self, knew that she wasgoing to be a business owner.
She, she had a gift.
(26:09):
She didn't know at the timewhere that gift was going to
take her, but she was still inuniversity studying to do,
because part of what you do iswhat you studied right yeah, I,
I was going to be.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
I was studying to be a chiropractor, actually, okay,
and then I switched.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Okay, so it's within that same family kind of I knew
I wanted to be into health andwellness okay, I just didn't
know what health and wellnesscan I ask you a question because
my niece has just started doingthat, um, not feeling well and
we're all the females in myfamily are all big, like myself,
heavy set.
But my niece was more puffythan she was, big in blame right
(26:48):
, and I remember she came by onchristmas day.
I didn't say anything to herbut I went, oh lord in my head
right, because she just lookedlike she was just getting.
So anyway, she comes to visitmy mom for her birthday.
My mom's birthday is January11th.
So remember I said Christmasday.
She came by, look, january 11th.
She walked in and I went oh wow, what happened to you?
(27:09):
And she said I got tired of thedoctors.
I got tired of me saying Idon't feel good.
I feel like this.
My chest feels like this, myheart feels like that.
I don't have a neck anymorelike I did.
I got tired of it.
And so she.
Her nickname is dr tick tockshe knows.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
She says that's what people find yeah yeah, she's
like aunt lou.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I just went on there and I found out that she was
insulin resistant, which meantthat her hormones were
unbalanced.
You should hear this girl talk.
I'm like I can't believe you'resitting here.
We're not living in a bigmansion of a house, because
listen to you talk.
And so she went to the healthfood store and said insulin
resistant, unbalanced hormones,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
(27:50):
And they went doom, doom, doom.
And she walks in from December25th to January 11th.
I'm like you have a neck.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, that's the power, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Really yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
That's what I help women do all the time, that's
what I do.
I mean, you should even see apicture of me when I was 21.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah the acne Very inflamed.
But the foods that we eat.
Right, Remember that the foodsthat we eat has a lot to do.
It's not like back home, likefrom where I come from, where we
literally take the my dad wouldtake the pool from the pigs and
whatnot, put it as fertilizerinto the earth Like it's all the
(28:32):
natural stuff and so everythingwas more natural.
The fruits that we eat wasnatural.
Here there's so many thingssprayed on everything, so the
stuff that's going into ourbodies it's not natural.
Like even when you just comeback from from a trip and the
Island, I'm sureon was able toeat certain things without even
(28:52):
having to think twice because,again, the stuff is all natural.
There there's no spraying andthe you know.
So all of that creates theinformation in our body.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But it's also doctors not knowing what janez knows.
They do know that.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Well, no, no, they honestly okay, I've learned to
disrespect what they know, whichis disease and medicine, that's
it.
If you don't have a disease,you don't fall in the category
of you have diabetes.
You have this.
The insulin resistance is not adisease, so they're not going
to know how to treat.
You're not going to give youanything right.
The only thing they will giveyoung women is what birth
control pill that's it.
(29:27):
Or metformin, which is meantfor um women or people with
diabetes, but they just givemetformin like nothing to young
women.
Oh, you have um acne, here'smetformin, here's birth control
pill, but like that's what theyknow.
So when you come with bloatingor tired, they'll just say we'll
stress less, we'll drink morewater, we'll lose some weight,
eat less.
(29:47):
That's all they'll tell you,because they don't know any
better.
They don't just, they don'tstudy prevention.
They're made to make money offof your disease.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And it's funny that you should say that, because
when I went on sick leave, oneof the things I heard from
everybody doctor, psychologist,a therapist, friends, family
pastor oh, you have to take careof yourself.
You've got way so much on yourplate, you gotta take care of
yourself.
I kept hearing that over andover and over again.
You know what?
No one told me to do, no onetold me how.
Right, not one person said, oh,take care of yourself, and this
(30:18):
is how.
Yeah, oh, do this and this ishow you take it.
All they kept saying wasexactly what you're saying
stress less, yeah, stress, sleepsome more.
Don't let you do too much.
Get some help.
It's not a solution, right, andthat's why my niche is
prioritizing self-care, right.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
It's important.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
It's really important to take that break.
As I said to you earlier, no isa full sentence, no.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah, yeah, we're in the era where old medicine is
the medicine.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
When I lived back home.
I'm from Africa, my mother'sfrom monrovia, liberia, my
father's from lagos, nigeria,and I lived back home from 1980
to 1985.
So I was born and raised here.
I was 11, going on 12, when Iwent back home.
So all I know is this westernworld and you go back home and
it's oh so and so is not feeling.
Well, okay, go go in the back,give me that, see, that dark
leaf, get me some of that.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And that's what we did all right, so we'll bring it
back.
Okay, this is.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
This is part I know we will women.
I know I know so, but I'm anentrepreneur yeah, for sure, for
sure.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So, um, the other thing is is, um, you know women,
uplifting women, um, some ofthe things, like, did you find
that mentorship helped you alongthe journey?
I know that.
Um, we have, like the supportwith family, wise right, like so
, did you have a lot of likecoaches, or like when you were
(31:38):
going through cause, I mean,you've grown tremendously, from
even 2020.
I think we've all come to thatjourney where we've grown a lot,
like you know, even when youfirst started your business, um,
did you find that you had, likeyou had a mentor, or did you
need a mentor?
Or, like, you know, or was itjust trying errors?
So like, let's say, you knowagain, you know people are maybe
(32:01):
stuck in a position or you know, and most of the times when we
talk about celebrating women andthe celebration is mostly done
from a corporate level, and butI do believe that we need to
celebrate women, no matter whichlevel is that?
Um, and this was why I diddecided to do this show, because
I feel that you know women,like people in general, but you
(32:21):
know women most of the time.
Um, I think we have certainshortcomings because we are
still known to be um, the motherwho is the mother of earth,
mother of children, mother ofthe house, and most of the time,
the female is left behind,right To still do everything.
And if you know, here they'rewatching you and thinking, wow,
(32:42):
you know, here, these are threesuccessful women, what you know?
If they wanted to come into abusiness whether it's your
business or any business likewhat would be something that
they can, you know, start with amentor?
Or like even, what courses doyou think you know?
Do you think it's a coursething that you know?
Like what would you recommendto somebody who may want to
(33:04):
transition as a business owner?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah, firstly, I think, just like, getting in
touch with your intuition isvery important, like when you
have that gift and you getsilent, you get a lot of those
answers for you.
But there's lots of things likebooks that you feel called to.
There's like I've done morelike e courses and books, not so
much hired a mentor, um, but Ijust went whoever, whoever
(33:29):
author I resonated with, I wouldjust read those books or get
those e-courses for guidance.
Because I don't have anybusiness experience like
knowledge.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Like I didn't go to school for business.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
I only know the health side.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
And so that's where I can help you on that part.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so for sure,I know Shanna's always have this
question.
Sometimes she'll ask you knowand see, this is sometimes, I
think, where it's important,because we all have our gifts in
different areas, and this iswhy collaboration is important,
because you know you have yourgift when it comes to the health
(34:05):
part.
But then my gift is the numbers, right, and an older gift is
it's a lifestyle of how tomaintain that balance again,
with um taking care of ofherself and the people around
her.
Um, and and that's important soif anyone wanted to get a hold
of you, um, how can they get ahold of you?
(34:26):
Like what, what can like, howcan they reach you?
If they needed your help, like,maybe before we get to there,
tell them a little bit more ofum.
If somebody was dealing with anissue, um, you know, give them
a story like what, how to reachyou, you know on and the process
to get you, how they cancontact you yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
So, um, my website is shaznesswellnesscom, or you can
find me shazness wellnessinstagram or um youtube or
tiktok, but essentially on mywebsite you can book a call with
me, like a one-on-one call withme.
That's probably the best placeto get in touch with me.
Or you can send me a dmInstagram.
(35:07):
Yeah, but essentially I offer afree mini course.
That's usually how I helppeople at first, which was
saving my time, but creatinglike a course that you can just
watch through everything that Iknow and what I teach and if it
resonates with you, you canapply to work with me.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Awesome, and.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Olu For me.
I'm going to go back to thequestion that you asked her
about mentorship and coaches.
One of the things they pressedupon when I was getting
certified was that as a coach, Ihad to have coaches, mentors.
So you'll find all coaches havea coach, a mentor coach and to
collaborate.
So all three of us can bemotivational life coaches but
(35:48):
have different styles ofcoaching.
So a different gift yeah.
So if somebody needs amotivational coach, they may not
like my in your face kind ofapproach or they may find you
too quiet and they might findJackie just right.
So they always talk about thefact that we should be willing
and ready to say I don't thinkwe work together, personality or
whatever, but I think Jackiewill be great.
(36:09):
So those are the two thingsthey they harped on when I was
taking, when I was gettingcertified um, which I carry
through to today.
Um for me.
Um.
I've made it very easy foreverybody to find me.
It's just my name, olu muley.
O-l-u is my first name,m-u-i-l-i is my last name.
So my website is olumuleycom.
My email is info at olumilicom.

call with me, a 30 minuteconsultation call where we can
speak on what your goals are,your expectations are, what
you're looking for in a coach,and we can decide in that call
(36:50):
if we're a good fit and then wetake it from there.
I also have my women'sconferences that are a really
great landing ground to come andhear me speak and what I have
to offer and just get a reallygood idea of my heart posture,
what kind of coach I am, what'simportant to me and why it is.
It's important to me that youare okay and that you recognize
that there's nothing wrong withyou, regardless of how bad your

finances are.

.
It just means that you'rehaving a thing.

One of the comments from lastyear's conference that put the
biggest smile on my face wassomeone wrote me and said what's
this buzz I'm hearing about?
Apparently, there was aconference I missed this weekend
.
How did I not know about this?
Where was it what happened?
I need to know.
I need to not know about this.
Where was it what happened?
I need to know.
I need to be there for the nextone.
When's the next one?
And that put a big smile on myface.
I actually met the lady.
(39:56):
I walked into an event andshe's like Olu and I went oh,
and she's like, oh, it's me.
And it was that lady who sentme.
That comment is how you canfind me on all of my platforms
and tickets can be purchased onmy website, and they can follow
you on Instagram, too.
Instagram.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
YouTube, facebook, okay, awesome.
So we are going to wrap this upand I want to say thank you,
both beautiful ladies, forjoining me today to celebrate
International Women's Day andfor being my guest, because a
lot of my entrepreneursconstantly ask you know, when to
(40:34):
incorporate, if I shouldincorporate tax question, even
though I'm not I'm a financialadvisor, but there's a lot of
stuff that we have to do behindthe scene, even to prepare for
taxes, and so I had decided sobecause, you know, to help
everybody that is actuallyalways asking, especially my
(40:57):
daughter-in-law to the left here, I had decided to put together
a guide.
It's actually it's an e-book,and today both of my ladies will
get a copy of the e-book.
At the back of it, you willactually have an income
statement, which is kind of likeyour expenses, that you can put
.
You know, because when you areincorporated is one of the
(41:20):
things that you do have to dowhether or not you do have an
accountant, you have to stillkeep track of your expenses.
So I've actually put together,you know, if you wanted to
calculate your mileage on yourcar, those kinds of things will
be the back of it.
Um, this is just a guide becausewe do have the legality lady on
the right-hand side, we'll tellyou.
Did you pass this by me beforeit has a disclosure?
(41:42):
It is nothing to do with taxes.
It's all about just like youwent to school and there's just
information about all the stuff.
Like, for instance, if youwanted to prepare for your T2
taxes, it will literally tellyou, you know the balance sheet,
just everything, just like ifyou were at school.
The same information here.
I'm not telling you how to dothe tax, I'm just giving you the
(42:04):
guidelines as to how to youknow what you need to do, and
some would relate to some andsome may not.
Again, if you subscribe if youyou subscribe to my channel or
even add yourself to my, mycorporation, which is Notable
Wealth Management Inc, and it'sactually n-w N C dot C A and
(42:30):
subscribe to my webpage, youwill get a copy it actually is
an ebook, um of this, but todaymy two beautiful ladies will
actually get a, an ebook sent tothem, um, and you know, again,
you could probably get something.
I might get some comments backfrom Ms Olu here as the legal
girl, and the other thing aboutit is that Olu helped me
(42:54):
incorporate my business and Imean that was six years ago.
So you know Olu does have a lotof talent when it comes to the
legal side of it.
So you know it's always nice todo have people.
I said you know networking isamazing thing.
So you know it's always nice todo have people.
I said you know, networking isamazing thing and it's really
nice to have people in thatnetwork, that, even if it's just
asking the questions.
(43:15):
And the reason I also did thisis that my incorporation did not
cost me anything than beingincorporated through the
government Because, again, I dida lot of my own research, so I
didn't have to bring a lawyerinto it.
And when it came to theregistration, I was able to go
through Olu and she was able tocomplete the part, which is the
(43:36):
registration part through theministry, right, so again, it's
not I'm not, I'm not saying thatyou should or should not, but
sometimes it's the options.
We have options and and itwould be great to, um, you know,
to talk to other people otherthan just going straight to a
lawyer.
But, um, you know again, if youwant to reach me, it's um.
(43:58):
If you want to subscribe and umto my web page, it's nwmincca
um, and we will see you on thenext show.
And remember money is for you,money is for you.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Money is for you.
That was not rehearsed.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
That's great.
