I love this so much!! You’re absolutely winning at motherhood. You’re doing all the right things and have a great community to support you. Being a single parent is a tough journey - my husband did it for years - at the end of the day your daughter is going to be so grateful for all you do with and for her. Keep crushing is Mama!! 🫶🏼🤍 I’m a working step-mom of 4 stepkids with a passive income side hustle (thanks in part to you and your courses) that doubled my six-figure income last year and I could only work on it in the cracks of the day - lots of early mornings, late nights, and busy lunch hours. 😅 But it’s all worth it to provide our kiddos with everything to support their dreams.
Oh yay I am so happy to hear that about my courses and you are so right!! It's beyond worth it. I am so proud of you for being such an awesome stepmama -- everything I hear about it sounds like it is very challenging to do well so good job mama!
👑So proud of you Maria. I know this has been extremely challenging for you and yet you are still learning and growing and evolving. Thank you for ALWAYS being a woman of integrity. God’s hand has always been on your life and all things continually work together for your good. Thanks for being you❤️😇🙏🏾
I'm not a single mom BUT I had to take care of 6 puppies for more than 2 months, which my dog had this past winter. It was during this time I discovered you because I knew I had to switch my business to a more passive income model. Went through similar challenges new parents do - sleep deprivation, no energy to work, mindset shifts etc. Thank you for all your courses and the inspiration.
I'm really sorry, Maria. I'm sure this has been incredibly hard. You are beautiful and smart and helping so many people. You made me realize that I just had to keep going (posting) in order to reach my goals, and I've appreciated all that I've learned from you!
I appreciate this video I think this is such a real topic as and entrepreneur. Over a 10 year span I went through 2 divorces, my dad passed, and a miscarriage. Therapy became my lifeline! Thank you for your transparency!
Thanks for telling your story. I needed to hear all of this. They tell you that you can work and be a mother but there are sacrifices in both areas that show you can never be 100% with them simultaneously. I admire your perspective and use of time that gives you enough balance to see the sacrifices as trade offs for the greater good. You have the right idea. Thanks again.
I don't know if it is a "privilege" for you to be at home with your daughter...I get the impression YOU WORKED VERY HARD to make that life for yourself. Yes, sometimes we experience extra blessings, but you didn't wait for the Business Fairy to grant you privilege. As a single mom and business owner I don't want to hear anyone downplay all the work you have done.
First of all, you’re amazing!!! You’re crushing motherhood and you’re still a BOSS!!! Your daughter is so lucky to have YOU as her mom Also, I’m not a single mom but I’m a stay home mom to 3 little, building a biz and this is inspiring, honestly it’s just nice to hear someone being honest about it all Sending love ❤❤❤ x
Honestly I think you might have it harder than me because I really struggle to wrap my brain around how you do ANYTHING with 3 kids lol, I have 1 and I am wiped!!
I'm SO sorry to hear this, Maria! Thanks for being real here. I hope you and your beautiful family are doing okay. Praying for you, your wellbeing, and your peace of mind!
I'm a mum of 2 young girls and married and even WITH a partner it is so hard to navigate mum life and business life for sure. It's certainly a juggle. Thank you for sharing/posting this. So many mums will relate to this single or not (because mostly their partners work fulltime so they are home by themselves trying to raise kids and do business and work and keep the house clean and cook/clean and it can be nuts and very overwhelming at times.) You got this xx
Being a single mom is way harder than this. You have a partner that comes home and hopefully helps out a little bit or a lot. Single moms don’t get that level of help.
@MariaWendt for sure, defs an OG 🤣 we are now running a super successful tree care business here in South Africa 🇿🇦 and it has been HUGELY influenced by you are your material. We always say, let's Maria this Sh1t. I bought the get clients now program years ago and I still rewatch the videos.
I'm not a single mom but have often felt like one and grew up with a single mom that ran her own business. So I know how hard it is. We are so far from being financially even remotely ok and it feels so stressful but thank you for all the advice you give.
I just joined the program and ugh I wasn't expecting you to say this. I'm sorry! I've been a single mom of one for 14 yrs. I feel you. It has taken waaaay longer to get where I wanted to be. I became self-employed 7 yrs ago to be more available and have freedom... and I started by running a daycare 😆 strategy lol. I'm rooting for you and I look forward to following your programs along the way 😃 I'm working on prioritizing tasks for my current business.
Congratulations for ❤️ing yourself enough to take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. Yes, mindset is #1. Study with Joe dispenza's work yes, journaling, gratitude work, and meditation is the key to successful life. I'm 61, yes, I compared myself to my other Co workers too that are enjoying their career, relationship, and fun life while I'm dealing with trauma, loss, fatigue, and autoimmune health issues, thank you for sharing. I just finished my parents estate. Now I'm looking at my next steps in restarting my career. Yes, I do have tony Robbins mastermind system and many more resources. Looking forward to the next path. ☮️🙏
Ive been waiting for the life update, as a mum youre whole new person and doing that while running a business is a whole lot. Therapy is very helpful, it took 18 months for the fog to clear for me. Childcare is mad, and working with them is hard. So much BS around about working during naps (she doesnt nap) and in the evening (im exhausted!).
Really appreciate this as a fellow unexpected single mom with a toddler and entrepreneur on the journey to building my passive business - appreciating all the guidance from you!
Just an honest opinion... I'm currently listening to your courses from 4 years ago (I think around then) about various topics. As someone a little older than you, it's funny to hear you talk about how, at 24, you've had 8 years experience as an entrepreneur (started at 16?) plus worked a corporate job (at what age?) and act as if you have so much life experience trying to get out of a job and make your way as an entrepreneur. It's very hard for me to take you seriously as you constantly flip and touch your hair and talk about your whirlwind of experience at the young, young age of 24. However, you got results, and that speaks for itself. Now, watching you in more recent time, you are becoming more relatable to me (although the hair flipping and touching still drives me crazy!). Also, tried to reach out to you about some errors in your course and there's been no response. But, lots of promotional emails.
Yeah I was homeschooled so I started super early because I could. I’d like to say the hair flipping will stop but I can’t make any promises 😂 if you email manager@mariawendt.com, my GM should be able to help you. Best.

It has been SUCH a challenging year but I do feel like I am coming out of the other side and I am so grateful for that!
I'm so happy to hear you're doing better. And I can tell you adore your dtr and are a great mom!

Thank you so much Hayley! We were just talking about you at the team meetup last week, we missed you!

Honestly such a good point because, practically, at the end of the day, we are essentially living the same life being at home all day by ourselves!
Being a single mom is way harder than this. You have a partner that comes home and hopefully helps out a little bit or a lot. Single moms don’t get that level of help.
Super proud of you Maria. You are an inspiration and you have been for me for the last 5 years
Thank you! I absolutely know and remember you -- you're one of the OGs!

big hug Maria!! Hard to see it now but, you gained, remember that!
I think so too! I wouldn't change anything to be honest.

Thanks for being in my world and sharing that! Yes it’s not something we’d wish on anyone! 🫂
I’m new to your content and channel, I really like the personal content information. I feel like I know you and that builds trust.
Awesome, thank you!

Entrepreneurship can be lonely...hope you have strong , genuine networks. ❤❤
Most helpful video on your channel, I've watched almost all of them.
oh yay I think the response on this video has been amazing so I am going to make more videos on this stuff!
Now this was DEFINITELY a real talk.
Ive been waiting for the life update, as a mum youre whole new person and doing that while running a business is a whole lot. Therapy is very helpful, it took 18 months for the fog to clear for me.
Childcare is mad, and working with them is hard. So much BS around about working during naps (she doesnt nap) and in the evening (im exhausted!).
Exactly!! By the time 7pm hits and she's in bed, I'm wiped!!!
HUGGGSSS So true ugh...
You're killing it!💓
Thank you so much, it means a lot. ❤
It gets harder before it gets better. So true.
I love you, Maria, you’re so inspiring. ❤
Do you have to do any custody sharing?
Really appreciate this as a fellow unexpected single mom with a toddler and entrepreneur on the journey to building my passive business - appreciating all the guidance from you!
TY 4 This
I love you mam. ❤❤❤
Appreciate you, Maria ❤
I am struggling!!
I'm so sorry

are you still single?
