Summary

Lisa Collum is one of the 2% of women who own a business that hits the $1Million mark, all while being a mother of 4! Lisa is the founder and CEO of Top Score Writing, which began humbly as a teacher who saw a gap in kid’s learning and just started making changes that actually helped students in really big ways. Those changes led to a multi-million dollar business, with just $100 to start and no loans. Lisa takes us into her story of how this all happened, along with some major takeaways for parents now being homeschoolers all around with creating structure and routine at home (it’s not like you think it may be!). Take a deep breath, we really can do this, and we’re not failing.

Find Lisa at www.lisacollum.com an on IG/Twitter @LisaCollumCEO (because she’s OWNING that title, now!). Produced by Dear Media.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a dear media production.
0:04.3	I'm Claire Mazer and I'm Erica Serulo.
0:06.9	And we are the hosts of a thing or two with Claire and Erica, a weekly podcast all about discovery and enthusiasm.
0:12.8	Well, that's how we describe it, but someone else described it even better, I think, as a unique
0:17.8	mix of urgent discussions of non-urgent things and thoughtful conversations of important and otherwise ignored things.
0:23.6	If you want to check it out and see what it's all about, check back every Monday where we drop new episodes.
0:28.7	I think you'll like it.
0:29.4	It's a great Monday morning ritual.
0:30.9	A thing or two with Claire and Erica.
0:35.9	Hi, friends, and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostess, Sarah Nicole. And each
0:45.9	week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom or something like
0:52.2	that. So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real,
0:56.4	because we are all in this digital space together. All right. Well, welcome back, everyone.
1:07.9	This is my second attempt at a virtual recording. And I'm really excited because today is actually all about the fact that we are in quarantine. We need this time at home. But we're also shifting who we are, what we're doing. There's so much pressure, especially on women right now to kind of do it all, be it all. And so we're going to have a conversation about how we can do that with maybe
1:28.2	some little extra questions and learnings along the way. So please welcome Lisa Collum.
1:33.0	Thank you so much for having me. All right. So your story is like we just got to dive in there
1:38.4	because when I first was looking at you as a good guest, there were things I really loved about expertise that you
1:45.7	would kind of bring to the table. But your story in and of itself is so incredible. Because I find
1:51.8	a lot of times what happens when we talk about, you know, motivating women to get into business
1:56.9	into entrepreneurship. It's all this mindset of if you just believe it, you can do it.
2:01.8	And it really rips apart this idea of privilege of having the money to start that up.
2:06.8	What I love about your story is you started with $100.
