I'm Rebbetzin Bat-Chen Grossman, a marriage coach for women in business, and my mission is to bring God's presence into your life, into your marriage, and into your business. Let's get started. Welcome. Thank you for your patience. I promised you I'd be back tomorrow, which turned into three days, which I'm really sorry about. But this is part two and I'm excited because we were talking about how I started, where I came from, what I did, and so in part one, I told you all about how I started in Fifth Avenue in Manhattan working as a graphic designer. Then I came here to Israel and you heard a bit, a little bit about the transition between graphic design to marriage coaching. and I started telling you about the coaching that I got in order to help me get on the right track. So the first thing I did was six months with Debbie Sasson. And I think it was one of the best things I did for myself because when you're in that loop of I need this money in order to live, in order to have this money, in order to live and you know, we weren't making enough. And so everything was a stretch. And then finally when I would. You know, get a new client and the money would come in, it would just go straight into family money. And it felt like I was running in circles. And so one of the things that helped me get out of that was committing to at least find. The, the coach that I wanted to hire actually this is a really interesting part of the whole thing because I was doing all this free stuff, right? When you're in the transition mode, you hear a lot of freebies, you listen to a lot of podcasts, you are consuming a ton of information, and it's moving you forward. And a lot of aha moments and a lot of adjustments and shifts and thinking differently, and that is all amazing, which is why is so great that there's so many free resources out there. And then I heard one. One lady, I don't know her name, I don't remember. There was so many freebies, right? And one of the ladies had a freebie and she explained why you are stuck even though you're moving. And she says, because you don't have one teacher, you don't have one. Person who you follow. It's like you're doing this and then you hear this and you're like, oh, that's a good idea, and I'll do that, and then I'll do another thing and a million other things. And so you're constantly being sidetracked by the next thing that you need to do without really having a clear vision of where you're going and a clear guidance from someone who's been there. So that was a, that was one of the aha moments that I thought, oh, she's right. If I just had one person telling me how to get on track and be on the right direction and you know, on the right lane to that goal, then it could save me so much scatteredness. And so I prayed for it and I prayed that first step is find the right guide because. as much as everybody is trying to sell you something and at the end of every freebie there is a sale sale pitch, I couldn't afford it. And instead of getting all resentful and frustrated, I decided that now my goal is to find the right one, and that doesn't cost any money, right? Just finding the right person doesn't cost any money. And once I know who the right person is, then the money will. , and sure enough, that's exactly how it happened. I ran into a freebie that told me about a different freebie, and there was a podcast episode with a guest speaker on it or something like that,
