Cathy McReynolds has been an entrepreneur for the last 25 years. She is from Ohio and got started at the age of 33 in business for herself a few years after losing her hero unexpectedly, her father.
She got her first real job at the age of 14 and her only goal was to be successful and get paid lots of money to retire her dad and buy him a hammock so he could lay there and look at his beautiful garden.
He, unfortunately, died 6 months before he was scheduled to retire. A few years after his death, and trying to get her joy back, she remembered a conversation they had when she was just 19 and leaving home for the very first time to move to the DC area.
He told her to treat people like she wanted to be treated, he also told her that she can do anything in life she wanted to and that she's no better than anyone else, and no one else is better than her.
Then he said these words that came back like a bolt of lightning one evening. He said, "FIGURE OUT AWAY TO WORK FOR YOURSELF", he said never give your life to a company as I have for the last 40 years.
He shared how it had provided a good living, took care of the 8 of them, and allowed him to save 6 figures, pay off a home, have no debt, and even buy a new car every 4 years, but he wanted her to have more and be free to see the world and do what she wanted, when she wanted and with who she wanted.
Three months after remembering that conversation, she walked away from a 60k a year job that had her on CNN, and on the local talk shows, while she opened up different stores for them in the USA
For the last 25 years (with the exception of 2008) Cathy has worked for herself, creating businesses that hit 6 figures and double 6 figures as well as many businesses that have also failed.
She has come to realize that all of it was a part of the plan that God had already had in place for her.
She needed those gut-wrenching defeats {because her faith was strengthened and she always found the will to go for it one more time} and exciting wins to be prepared for this calling to help others create businesses, get closer, and fall more in LOVE with GOD while using biblical principles and mission marketing, so they can enjoy and understand the process quicker while creating the lifestyle and business they desire and deserve while creating a life in God's WILL!
