QUITTING My 7 Figure Business To Be A Homemaker...I'm done.

  • Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege to build a 7-figure business from the ground up while also being a mom. It was a challenging but rewarding experience and I'm proud of what I accomplished. However...as my children grew older, I began to notice the little moments slipping away due to the constant demands of running a business.
    I felt like I was missing out on important milestones and quality time with my family just because of the split focus. I was physically there, but my mind was somewhere else. I'm not at ALL against working as SAHM and I regret none of the hardships we've been through because without them, we wouldn't be able to live this incredible life!! BUT I've learned a big personal lesson I will take with me forever. If you're able to work AND raise amazing kids and it's what you're called to do, then do it! It's such a blessing...but I always take things to the next level and was living in a place of idolatry -more in the video.
    As a housewife, I am able to fully focus on my children and my home. For the first time since I had one child, I'm able to actually create a warm and peaceful environment for my family on a daily basis, and I'm able to be present for all of their important moments. I have more time to cook delicious meals for my family, to help my children with their homeschooling, and support my husband in the ways I never "had time for".
    While I'll still work during naps/quiet time, - you can still accomplish A LOT with just two hours a day!! I'm limiting myself to just that. I realize this is an absolute privilege and there has been years where I wouldn't have been able to make this choice like so many of you. I hope you get any value from hearing my experience and I'm excited to make more videos on the topic!

    I’ve been through so many Haley stages…cleaning videos, DITL videos, the “hustle and make money videos”, the quitting RUclips and helping people run online businesses videos, the homeschooling and slowing down videos…to this. I am in love with this version of your page and am so glad I stuck it out! 😂❤ Looking forward to Christian motherhood videos

    I think the biggest lie ever sold was that you can have it all. You can't. No matter the choices you make you will have to make sacrifices that others don't. Its sad to me to see people, men and women, kill themselves to do and be everything.
    The second lie is that you need two incomes to make it in life with a family. My husband and I started our family straight out of college with over 50 grand in student debt. We were older than your average because we both went to college later in life. We were 28 and 30 but it was still a hurdle. We both knew we wanted to be a one income family and due to our age, we didn't want to wait to have kids. We made it work. We lived tight and sometimes our bank account was in the single digits but we managed. We paid off the student debt, and covered the medical costs of 3 c-sections, and 2 ER visits. We accomplished this on a teachers salary too. I will also add that my husband did summer school for a little extra cash. It wasn't easy but our life was good. He's now working on his masters and I'm still a SAHM now with 4 kids.

    My mom was a rare case. I don’t know how she did it but she was a great career woman, a great mom, and a great wife but I saw her sacrifice so many hours of sleep and she lost her mind and went to the mental hospital. Her physical health declined, my dad passed and we lost our home and I ended up on the street. If I could go back in time despite my parents’ intentions and efforts, I wish my mom worked part time at least and I had more of her time as opposed to money. I’m in the position where as a single mom I am actually leaving my job at the end of this last week because I see the same with my kids. They need my time more than money and I’m just letting go and letting God to provide for us. Your words really resonated with me. Thanks for sharing!

    Omg Hayley! I have been watching you for so long and I literally saw when you began changing into who you are now as a mother, wife and woman. I love who you are becoming ❤ it takes courage to do this and to even proclaim it and share your story. This is what we need more of. I am loving your content!!

  • @MadisonHopperCleaning
    @MadisonHopperCleaning Год назад +10

    I can relate to this so much! My RUclips channel became our main source of income and I was so miserable! We have shifted completely away from that and I feel much more fulfilled as a mother and wife. My perspective has completely changed when it comes to housework, etc. I am GRATEFUL that I have the time and energy to cook for my family, do their laundry, homeschool my children and more. Please share more about this! I love it!!

    So impressed by your new goals. As a 76 year old now with a 55 year old daughter, I cannot tell you how much I regret not being a more present Christian when raising my daughter. I assumed she would always love the Lord as I did and as she once did. Now she’s not even a believer and I would give anything to be able to start over. Praying for you!!

  • @frankieglover
    @frankieglover Год назад +13

    I think the reason I’ve “failed” so much as a social media mom, is that I have never put this work over my homemaking & motherhood job. I’ve always made sure my home and family were taken care of, which often puts my social media content on the back burner. I still want to grow my business and make a source of income from it- but I cannot put that before my family and I say it all of the time. I see so many moms creating SO much content daily and as someone who knows what that takes, I’m like HOW? I would never have time for my kids. Staring at my phone more than my kids isn’t an option for me.

    OMG! Never thought I’d see the day! This is HUGE! But I am totally here along for the journey! I can relate as I was also the only one making money for our family and I told my husband 3 months ago that I am DONE! I will keep my business as a side income but I want my babies back! (4yr and 1yr) The transition is a STRUGGLE but I’m so relieved that my role model Hayley is here to support. Esp with focus on Christian beliefs. So here for it!

    I relate to this so much! I am a nurse (I left that career when the mandates started) and I started a business as a lactation consultant, I had 2 kids under 3 at the time and starting my business was so stressful, I was also getting tons of texts from clients when I was trying to take care of my kids and make dinner etc and I felt my mind was always elsewhere. I’ve since started only taking a consult or two a week and setting boundaries on client follow up texts and Im much happier.

    I hate "bossmom" because there is no term like this for men. You can be working as a mom or dad, you just have to find your way. I also think the whole hustling and productivity-mill is a trap. We should aim to make enough money to be comfortable but we should also slow down and enjoy the present moment. I have two kids and work part-time as a teacher and this set up is perfect for us, now both my kids are in school especially. It's important to me to spend a lot of time with my kids but I also want to have my own career and make my own income. My kids love seeing me do a job I love, and I want them to know it's possible to be a mom and have a job and passion. My dad would demean my mom often saying "I pay for everything in this house" and I never wanted to be financially dependent on anyone.

    • @AccountabilityCorner
      @AccountabilityCorner Год назад

      I'm totally relate to you. Also a part time educator with two children and my sweet spot is being able to continue my passion but also have quality time with my children. I do have to be mindful about being present in the moment. I maybe at work thinking about my babies or at home thinking about work task. But in the end everything we do is for our children no one is perfect and we each have our own journey to take. Your doing a great job momma thank you for contributing to the field of education!

  • @Oneblessedhome
    @Oneblessedhome Год назад +4

    Haley! I have watched you for several years and I am so proud of the woman you have become ❤️
    It honestly got me teary eyed.
    Well I just want to be honest from woman to woman. I strived so much to be a stay at home mom /homeschool mom. I have 2 kids. I homeschooled my daughter at age 3 and now she will be a part of a charter school at 5 this summer. I would still be doing homeschool all at home with her once she starts we would just get funded through the state. What I do need help is how to help my husband with his business on the side. We would like to make more income for our family and to be able to leave something behind for them as we get older but I obviously don't want it to effect me as a stay at home mom and wife. My husband is a licensed FIFA soccer coach and we wanted to do online courses for his business because he is so busy and we're thinking and praying about growing our business. I honestly just wish I could talk to you about everything because you seem so knowledgeable about business and I would love some input from another mother that loves Christ and puts her family first 🥰 . I'm not sure how to contact you directly or how to get your classes or course to help us out but I would only pray that you read this comment and reply 🙏

  • @jorplusfour
    @jorplusfour Год назад +1

    This resonates so much with me. I PRAYED for a job I could do while also being a mama / homeschooling.
    The lord opened the door and I quickly felt it take over my every day. I was no longer the mom my kids needed me to be; and my head was ALWAYS on work. Thankfully, my contract ends this month and I am done. But it was such an eye opener that the lord knew all along where I would love being the most. Great video!!❤

I later launched two online businesses (I've always worked part-time, but relate to much of what you mentioned) and then just started reading through the bible myself for the first time a few months ago. Katie Voetberg, Megan Fox (Unlocked) and Bindi Marc have been great encouragements in homemaking and motherhood, and I'm so excited to hear more from you in this area!

  • @BaudelaireOrphan1
    @BaudelaireOrphan1 Год назад +2

    This was beautiful!!! It’s pretty much like a piece of your testimony! Ugh you know it all happened so that you can turn around and glorify God. I’m so happy for you. I understand, being a lukewarm Christian, believing in God but not making time for Him in your life.
    You have blessed me sooo much through this video, cried for you because I’m so happy for you. I’m excited to see what you have in store. Today I had a hard day, my house was a wreck, my 6 month old was screaming all day, my middle child was making a mess while I was cleaning and my oldest just wasn’t feeling well. Everyone felt my stress. But when I laid down to pray with my girls, I asked for forgiveness and I wanted them to hear me so that way they could see that momma makes mistakes too, and I also need help and can ask for it. I also thanked God for a house to clean and children who can make the mess, and a baby who can scream and a child to care for who isn’t feeling well. I have all those things that the Lord has blessed me with, and I need to find joy in these blessings rather than seeing them as jobs to get done or check off or annoyances. They are blessings!
    My feet still hurt from the long day! But that’s ok. I am blessed!

I've been looking for more content like this because I recently came home full time and want to grow in being a godly housewife, so I'm so excited that you're starting this new chapter and sharing it! The Lord is so good to work on us and reveal the idols of our hearts, which I know He has done with me as it has been a difficult adjustment for me to leave a "structured" and payed workplace. I'm so with you on all this!

    Oh my Hayley! I feel like we’re on the same boat! But not as successful like you in this business but I took your YT course but make me think twice before I even get started because I know it will take a lot of my time and I don’t want it to be the reason that I will not have all the time for my family. I am a homeschooling mom of 2 as well and somehow starting to get brand deals here and there. It takes a lot of time and effort for me to make a content. I feel you on this. I just want to be a traditional mom and just share our journey as a family who loves travelling, connecting to people who has same values as ours and be more God centered. He answered a lot of my prayers and questions and I trust Him that He will provide us the things we need.

I’ve been on a very similar journey since being laid off from my “dream job” this time last year. So thankful that I’ve actually been able to make my family my #1 priority. I was the bread winner and things have definitely been tighter but God. He has continued to provide and meet our needs. Can’t wait to see where your channel goes!

I've been following your journey for years now, and I love to see how you've grown. You truly are inspiring. The traditional housewife is not talked about enough. It has been made to see bad and it is not. I am so excited to keep following your journey! I hope my partner and I can grow close to God together as well. I do believe life is better with God in the center. I have been struggling with my faith, but this video has definitely spoke to me. Thank you.

Wow, it's gotta be so vulnerable to share so much over the years but I really think you have a loving audience of people out there like myself and sisters in Christ who are right in this motherhood thing with all these same questions & trying to figure it out. You've really helped my heart & journey today, thank you!!

    Idk how you didn’t cry, I was crying. I’ve been here since just before A was born, I was pregnant with my first as well and I loved that you weren’t like most mommy RUclipsrs. I could see you had more conviction than others and to watch you transform and see God draw your heart towards himself over the last 6 years is such a beautiful testimony of his love and patience. I’m proud of you following your convictions! Go girl!!

    You’re speaking to me about *exactly* what I am trying to figure out for my life right now. I have this intense pull to slow down and take care of my family. I just had twins and I have two other boys as well. I have been the breadwinner for years but was recently laid off and now I want to be a traditional house wife and raise my kids to be christians .. but also want to build a business. But how? It’s a lot to sort through. I really do have to make some money- so I think you’ve really said what I needed to hear about side hustle!

    I also went through this phase.
    I’m currently a sahm. I was a working mom when my two oldest were babies and I missed so much. They’re now 10 and 9 and I been sahm for 6 and half years now. I was able to enjoy every moment when they were toddlers and now they’re doing so good. My husband and I also have a construction business. I was home with the kids and on the phone scheduling this or checking emails, talking to customers. This went on for almost two years until I just spoked to my husband that I’m focusing on our kids and home. I’m helping with contracts and taxes but it’s not full time like before. I’m focusing on my three children and now expecting baby #4 and my husband. These couple months I been able to go out with our children more. My kids are now helping with chores without nagging. They’re doing so good spiritual. I’m slowly getting my house clean. I’m not feeling so overwhelmed like before.

    Hi Hayley. The first time I watched your channel you were doing pregnancy videos with your oldest. I was pregnant with my 4th child. All of my close friends at this time were done having children. So you were my virtual pregnant friend unbeknownst to you! It was fun to have a preggo buddy. I don’t keep up with every video but occasionally I check in to see how you are doing. I’ve seen twinkles of your faith come through on occasion. I am here today thrilled that you have found your voice that comes from your spirit! And thrilled that you have the courage to use it on your public platform. To God be the glory! When you are ready, I would love to hear your faith story ❤️.

    Been with you since before Annabelle. I feel like I was on your same page back then and then I feel like I'm your page now. It's like we were on a similar path and I'm so happy that we sort of grew up together and are all in with our vocation as wife and mothers. I'm looking forward to your content still and am proud to say we have similar values. You go Hayley!

    I'm a single gal with no kids but I'm definitely here for this new phase of your life. It's like you said we all go through different seasons in our lives & in this season you now want to be a traditional wife and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. May God bless you and your family & I look forward to you sharing more of your experiences on here 🙂❤

    Such a relatable video one of your best I should say. Got teary eyed listening to you express your love of GOD, Christianity and your family. A foundation home build on Christ will always be loving, strong and faithful. These values instilled today will be remembered in your babies for the rest of their lives. PROUD OF YOU for making the best decision for your family and yourself. Serving GOD and family is why I couldn't make it work online I had to finally walk away. It has been the best thing decision I ever made. Trust the journey you're in Hayley it is a blessing for all of you. Love seeing this new you. We need to see more of this on here and the world. So many things these days are disturbing and out of control. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY!! 🥰🙏

    I feel the same away as you. I’m quitting my job in June. I’m a teacher and me and my coworkers see how emotionally neglected these children are because they are away from their families for so much of their waking hours.

    So thankful that I found this video. I turned in my resignation 3 weeks ago for this EXACT reason. I wanted to create a biblical full life for my family and for my mental health and to restore peace in my heart. SOOO many people had the opinion that I was just lazy and did not have ambition and was making a mistake, but I truly just felt almost compelled to shift my entire focus to the peace of God and being a biblical homemaker.
    Thank you for re assuring me in my decision❤

    Such an inspiring conversation. I'm a multi 6 figure online wealth hypnotist, I work 8 hours a week. I'm a Muslim too. I decided that I didn't need millions to consider myself successful. I'm a wife & mum so I'll always be successful. My family always come before my job. I have a nanny & a teacher for my kids but I'm involved in everything. My kids are involved in my business so we never feel separated. I had to work a lot on my mindset & not rush success. I never chased money & I feel like that's why I'm fulfilled in my traditional role & career

    Hey Hayley! I am glad you are seeking the Holy Spirit guidance in your life and your family. I am the breadwinner of my family and also at the very early stages of starting a business. Unfortunately we all have idols here and there. I am glad you can see that. I wish you the best! I hope you continue to do the RUclipsprenur course, I have finished it but I haven't started RUclips as of yet.

    It makes me think of the verse, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” You’re experiencing the truth of this verse, and it’s setting in on your life. It’s been such a blessing for me to follow Christ. I’m so thankful you’re encouraging others. 😊

    Hayley, I’m so proud of you (which I know sounds weird since I’m a stranger, lol). But it takes such bravery to speak on the things you’re talking about, & such intentionality to really self-examine & see the bigger picture. Also so awesome to hear you talk about your faith & how important it is for us to teach our kids about God, again takes bravery. I literally teared up multiple times during your video 🥲 When you “get it” you “get it” right?! 😉 It’s so amazing that once we get our priorities straight & start looking for God’s guidance to make wise decisions in all areas of our lives, it all starts coming together & makes sense. We also find happiness & fulfillment in things that we maybe didn’t before, or at least we have a different perspective on them. We also don’t carry the burden of making decisions on our own bc we have God to help/guide us 🥰🙏 I have always loved your genuineness, & you crack me up 🤣🤣 I 1000% support your new venture (we need more of this on RUclips) or whatever you end up deciding to do!! I wish I could subscribe 1M times to support you 😁❤
    PS- I recently found Madisun Gray on RUclips. I’m not a minimalist, but I find inspiration in simplifying things, & slowing down enough to enjoy the small things in life that can so quickly pass you by if you blink too fast 😊

I homeschool as well and my husband is currently away in the military for a while and my relationship with God has gotten so much closer! God timing is perfect and his plan is perfect ❤ I would love to see how you balance homemaking and homeschool 😄
