Welcome Listeners!

Hello and welcome to Her First Million! I’m your host, Amanda Bedell, and I’m your resident Business Chaos Sorter. Over the past several months, I’ve been contemplating how to better support more business owners like you. To do that, I have to get real about a really painful time in my life.

Today’s Episode:

I share my journey from running a bakery business that I bootstrapped from a single Farmers Market booth to a brick and mortar with a wholesale manufacturing facility. Despite generating multiple seven figures, I struggled with making a profit. In 2017 and 2018, I faced significant financial challenges, maxing out credit cards and emptying my 401k, which led to selling my company.

What We’re Talking About Today:

  • My Story: From building a gluten-free bakery to selling the business and transitioning into a Business Chaos Sorter.
  • Financial Realities: The importance of understanding and managing your financials to avoid burnout and financial strain.
  • Recurring Themes: How more time and more money can lead to less stress, saving marriages, happier kids, and ultimately a better world.
  • Practical Advice: Steps to achieve financial freedom and why you don’t need an MBA or an accounting certificate to understand your financial position.

Special Announcement:

I’m introducing Her First Million 5-Day Focus! In this immersive educational experience on Zoom, I’ll walk you through the exact framework to build a business reaching seven figures consistently. If you’ve been in business for at least three years and have hit a wall, or if you’re dreaming of what a $1 million business looks like, this is for you.

  • Daily Sessions: 60 minutes a day for five days.
  • Interactive Experience: Real-time interaction with me and a community of like-minded business owners.
  • Accountability: Achievable steps each day to keep you moving towards your goal.
  • Massive Action: By the end of the five days, you’ll have taken significant action that will impact your business for months, if not years, to come.

Streets And Into Livable Wage Jobs But I

Didn't Have A Livable Wage Myself When I

Started The Business I Went Out To Solve

A Problem To Make The Best Gluten-free

Bakery That Existed And To Grow It

Nationwide You See I Had Celiac Disease

And I Wanted To See Kids And Families

Eat Good Food And Walk Into A Warm Place

With A Pastry Case Overfilling With

Goodies All In One Place But Beneath All

Job I Thought That If I I Could Make

More Money Working For Myself Than I

Certificate To Know Where You Stand

Financially And How To Get Yourself Out

Of A Cash Type Position Even If You're
