On this episode of the Becoming Wealthy podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Stacy, a land investor, entrepreneur, and homeschooling mom, along with her inspiring 10-year-old son, Drew. Together, they shared insights into how they balance family, business, and education, offering a blueprint for those looking to achieve financial freedom without sacrificing quality time with loved ones.
The Power of Passive Income
Stacy’s journey into land investing began with her background in sales and marketing. She realized that traditional jobs were limiting and decided to pursue entrepreneurship as a way to create a sustainable, passive income stream. Today, Stacy manages a team of eight remotely, enabling her to not only achieve financial stability but also help other moms earn an income while working from home.
Her approach is simple yet profound: don’t create another full-time job for yourself. By outsourcing tasks and focusing on building systems, Stacy ensures she has the freedom to manage her business and still be present for her family.
Homeschooling: A Flexible Path to Success
Stacy’s son, Drew, is proof that homeschooling can offer incredible opportunities for learning and growth. Starting his day without an alarm clock and finishing school by noon, Drew has ample time to pursue his interests, including his entrepreneurial ventures.
Drew shared his excitement about running YouTube channels and experimenting with creative ways to engage viewers, proving that age is no barrier to starting a business. Stacy tailors his education to include foundational skills like public speaking and marketing, equipping him with tools that will serve him well in the future.
For families considering homeschooling, Stacy emphasizes the importance of utilizing available resources like the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) in Arizona, which helps cover costs for tutors, curriculum, and educational activities.
Making Land Ownership Accessible
Stacy also introduced her new fund, designed to make land ownership more attainable for everyday people. The fund, aimed at accredited investors, focuses on owner-financed land sales to retail buyers. Her mission is clear: help more individuals own land and reduce the concentration of landownership among the ultra-wealthy.
Drew’s Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
At just 10 years old, Drew offered wisdom beyond his years:
- “Follow your passion and go for it.”
- “Social media is one of the best ways to make money today.”
