Common Sense Choices Episode #10. Linda grew up on her family’s dairy farm in SE Kentucky and her ‘milking the cow mentality’ created a work ethic that was fundamental in creating her own successful in-home business. The first question Linda always asks anyone starting their own business is “Tell me what your parents did for a living?” There is a difference between growing up in an entrepreneurial family and a traditional one (parents worked for other people). She believes that much of the stress of owning your own business lies in expectations traditional people bring into their business. She believes to rally support for your in-home business you MUST treat it in many ways as a Traditional job.

About Linda Toupin: Linda was raised on a dairy farm in southeastern Kentucky where she developed a strong work ethic and sense of personal responsibility. These, along with a "milking the cows" mentality (it didn't matter if you were tired, in a bad mood or a relative had just died, the cows still had to be milked) created strong mental health habits and a solid sense of purpose. Linda went from milking cows to waiting tables as she worked her way through college where she earned her Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Home Economics and Secondary Education. She taught in the public school system for ten years. During that time, she started her own in-home business and, over the next 38 years, built a multi-million dollar sales organization both nationally and internationally. Linda has trained tens of thousands of businesswomen around the globe in life and business skills. She is the mother of two and grandmother of two.
