In less than 10 years, Della Kirkman went from a single mom waiting tables at Cracker Barrel, to buying her first business, growing it, and later selling it to achieve a level of wealth and independence she had only dreamed about.

On top of that, Della did this as a single mom of two daughters, both of whom are already saving for retirement.

Della is A CPA and the publisher of the Shift-N-Gears.com bi-weekly newsletter, designed to help people buy, grow, and sell small businesses. The free newsletter is part of a larger, developing platform encouraging women to pursue entrepreneurship through acquisition (by buying a profitable business that can support their lifestyle) rather than the hard, risky path of the startup.

Listen as Della shares these Key Takeaways:

• Her journey from being a waitress at Cracker Barrel to buying, growing, and selling her first business to achieve freedom and wealth.

• Why business ownership through acquisition is better than the traditional startup route.

• How Della's daughter started saving for retirement at age 14.

• The importance of teaching children about money and wealth, including savings, retirement accounts, and financial discipline.

• Common mistakes and pitfalls in business acquisitions.

• Della's approach to creating multiple streams of income.

"We're trying to rob Peter to pay Paul," was a phrase I heard a lot growing up. Seemed like everybody was just one check away from being flat broke. As a result of hearing these constant stories of lack and financial insecurity, I had to unlearn the "language of lack" and rewrite my money story.

Can you relate?

That's why as parents, we should be mindful of our words. What we say about money and how we interact with it is either going to teach our kids the language of lack or the language of wealth.

In this episode I share 3 familiar phrases that we should avoid at all costs if we want our children to learn the language of wealth.

• Do I look like an ATM to you?
• We don't have the money for that.
• Money don't grow on trees!

Listen to get recommendations on what you should say instead.

I hate waking up with a feeling of panic, anxiety and dread but lately that's what's been happening. I found a way to combat it but I couldn't help but wonder, "why is this occurring?"

Through self-reflection, I discovered I was feeling this way because of the constant pressure to keep up with the never-ending demands of work and life. Add social media to the mix and it makes the pressure that much worse.

Thankfully we can always reset and recalibrate and that's exactly what I did. I found 4 new ideas to embrace to redefine success for me. I share them all in this episode.

Dani Buie has always loved helping people. So much so that when people came to her for guidance on how to transition into different careers, she would help them for free!

It didn't dawn on her that she could make good money as a coach or consultant until one of her free sessions ended with the woman saying, "I'd pay good money for the valuable insights you just gave me!"

That was just the push Dani needed to start her entrepreneurial journey while maintaining her full-time job.

In this episode, Dani shares part of that journey with us. Listen in as she explains:

• The transition from free coaching to paid coaching
• Dani's timeline between officially starting her business to getting the first in a long line of paid clients.
• How her business changed when she began scaling and focusing on organizational clients.
• How she manages her business while still working full time
• How much revenue she's bringing in now, after less than 3 years in business.
• How she's building generational wealth intentionally and she's under the age of 35.

Dani also shares a compelling and emotional story about the "non-traditional" ways her mom invested in her and how Dani is paying her back.

Sisternomics is produced by OverFlow(R) Enterprises, a black, woman-owned coaching and content development company.

After coasting for years as a solopreneur, rapid expansion and new opportunities have begun to flood into OverFlow Enterprises. Suddenly this small operation is faced with the choice of turning away new business to keep things "manageable" or increasing it's capacity by scaling.

But what does it mean to scale? At what point should a business do it and how do you start?

These are some of the questions staring me in the face right now and I've got the perfect person to shed light on it. He's scaled his business from 0 to more than $100 million in revenue and it just so happens we live together.

In this episode, my husband Tony R. Kitchens stops by the Sisternomics studio and shared some battle-tested insights about what scaling is and isn't and why getting back to business basics may be the best advice despite what you hear from all the gurus out in these internet streets.

When tickets first went on sale for Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour, people went cray-zee! Some of the excitement was because she hadn't toured in a while but there was also shock because some tickets were selling for $2,000 and more!

Meanwhile, over here at camp Sisternomics, we were singing Beyonce's praises. Why? Because through something as simple as a pricing strategy, Beyonce gave us a powerful example of what it looks like to know your value and own your worth AND to keep our emotions out of our money.

You need to be ok with saying "yesterday's prices are NOT today's prices!"

In this episode, I'll take a few minutes to unpack why it is so important to know your value and own your worth and HOW you can do so.
