Melody Stevens-Time Millionaire

Melody's story

I became owner of a music academy in 1997, before I had my daughter. I worked feverishly and was doing almost everything myself- the voice and piano teaching, admin, book keeping, dealing with customer service, marketing, advertising, etc. I was exhausted and was making peanuts for money. This went on for 4 years and then it struck me.

I was 33 years old and I wanted to have a baby.

It was that desire that inspired me to start to develop my time wealth. As it was, there was no way I was going to find the time to actually birth a child, let alone allow my body to heal for a few weeks.

And there was no way I was giving up on my business.

Long story short, I hired a business coach, read Michael Gerber's "The E Myth," hired an office manager and a book keeper. 6 months later, I was earning a steady, respectable salary and then got pregnant.

9 months later I had my daughter Sarah (now 9 years old) and I took a 2 month maternity leave from my business while it not only ran without me, but we expanded into a satalite location. I did nothing but breast feed my daughter and allow my body to heal; oh, and I tried to re-negotiate one of my leases because I got a little bored on my maternity leave (LOL).....but that's a whole other story.

I collected disability while on maternity leave, and upon my return, my salary was there for me and my business was up in enrollment.

My daughter remains my main inspiration.
