My Way of Life
The Journey
Hi, I am Alta Christie – I help overwhelmed moms to Systemize their Business so that they can have more Time Freedom and Scale their income with steady, long-term Business growth. I am also a Mom and successful multi-business Entrepreneur and my biggest passion is my three young children. Everything I stand for is for the good of my kids, but also for all children. I believe that moms should be able to be THERE for their kids on their terms (have more time and freedom), while making a consistent, but growing income. That moms should be able to generate a sustainable business that provides them with the income, freedom and flexibility they require to build the life that they desire.
I am a huge believer that as with most things in life, slow and steady wins the race. Building a resilient business is no different. A strong foundation is KEY!
My background is building successful businesses from home. I have been an entrepreneur for just about 15 years. My mission is to help other moms who feel stuck on multiple levels, to become empowered by structuring and systemizing their businesses properly so that they can effectively grow their businesses.
With 15 years of business experience, research and growing multiple successful business models, including service and product based online businesses, and being a mom for the past several years, I was able to combine powerful strategies to structure and systemize any online business.
I love to empower moms to grow their OWN business effectively so that they can have the dream lifestyle they yearn for – with their kids by their side so that they can be there for their kids (Time Freedom). If your burning passion and deepest desire is to be home for your kids and run a successful business, what would it mean to you if you had someone to hold your hand along the way?
My Story...
When I finished my business management studies, me and my now-husband decided to go overseas and work and travel in the UK for a year. This would be my first corporate job. I learnt a lot, but in my gut, I knew that there had to be more to life than spending all my days behind a desk, or running around like a crazy person lodging visa applications all over the London embassy’s while operating on a boss’s and clients’ every demand. Imagining those long hours away from home, especially when having kids, just was not for me – AT ALL. I was working extremely long hours. In hindsight I realize that subconsciously I wondered how this type of existence was normal.
Unlike what we have been taught in school, that we will all be working for big corporations and we had to steadily climb our way to the top – that THAT was what we should aim for in life, I strongly felt that there had to be another way. This was before any digital business world existed, except for the internet. During the time we were there I was constantly thinking of ways to start my own business so that I could do life on my terms. Looking back, how right my intuition was.
I told my husband daily that we needed to start our own business as soon as we returned from the UK. We saved up and we could sustain ourselves for a while. We did not know HOW we were going to do it, nor what business to start, but the fact that my business management degree was specialized in the travel industry, we decided that we wanted to try something exciting.
We decided to pursue the travel industry. I was only 22, but we built a a business that developed into something amazing…
Our business was transformed into a highly specialised travel agency with the speciality of high profile Indian Ocean Island travel packages.
We travelled all over paradise while we grew our business! We soon had to employ some extra hands to cope with the work-load. In the meantime, we also started another business – solar system products. This was a product based online business. Lots of hard hands-on work and long hours assembling products and late nights. What a learning curve!!
After 5 years of blood, sweat, late nights and literally tears at times, my husband decided that he really wanted to return to the engineering field full time, which is his passion, field of study and background.
We felt that we achieved our goals with the business and we were ready to take a break from the business responsibilities before we started a family. We sold the business for a good profit when I was only 27. Within these 5 years I used my studies and limited practical work experience and learned everything from starting up a new online product and service based business from scratch, drafting and following a practical business plan, stock control, product development, business structures, business models, online marketing, SEO, running a product and service-based onilne business, website development, creative software, editing software and we touched a bit on the social side of blogging (no social media existed) – amongst so many other skills.
Once the business was sold, I decided to return to the corporate world for a while, try my luck once more… I really liked my new job within the Timeshare industry in club operations. I loved it because it was a position where I had to be very analytical, focused and systemized. I love to control my work environment, hence my passion for structure and systemization!
Unfortunately I again found myself feeling unfulfilled at a deeper level.
I wanted to do more, I wanted to really have a significant impact.
I left my job when I fell pregnant with my eldest. I wanted to be with my kids! And I wanted to build a business again!! YES! When my son was born I became very interested in natural vitamin C for our family health. This brought about my third business where I imported premium quality natural vitamin C and sold it to high-end specialized health retailers in the local natural health market. Although I was struggling with business-family balance initially, as so many of us mom-bosses do when our children enter our lives. I worked really hard to make time for the business and not neglect my kids. THEY ARE ALWAYS THE FIRST PRIORITY!! I had to learn how to structure my business, plan my time effectively and become even more disciplined in order to gain control over the business. I succeeded quite quickly and it was turned into a semi-passive income business with little input on a continuous basis. I was able to focus on my kids, join playgroups, and homeschool them.
Everywhere I went, moms would ask me about being home with the kids, running a business effectively and everyone seemed to have the same yearning – more time freedom for kids and a dream of growing their own business, not even to talk about the Energy they lacked. It seems impossible to many.
Listening to these Moms, my heart resonated with them! BizMomCoaching was born.
As I emerged myself into the online business world of moms, I came to realize that there were many common challenges that I experienced while building my Vitamin C business as a new mom.
I knew I could help other moms! But little did I know that I too would have to go through the journey of overwhelm, procrastination, overworking, burn-out (a major adrenal crash), lack of clarity and control and some level of imposter syndrome in this new online business industry, before finding my footing properly. I was trying so hard to learn everything about the coaching world and passive income streams by myself. This did NOT work and I eventually had to submit defeat and enroll in business coaching courses in order to help me overcome those hurdles. Once again I pulled myself together to proceed empowered!
There are so many moms who build businesses, try their best, give it their all, but fall short with structuring and systemizing their businesses properly. They suffer from burn-out because of being over-worked, overwhelmed, procrastination and frustration becomes the name of the game. This has to change. This is where my passion was born. Breaking free from those chains and to breathe again! Building and growing a business moms can feel passionate about and have full control over. Having more TIME freedom and effectively integrating their business into their family life while replenishing and preserving their Energy!
Life as a homeschool Business-Mom:
I never looked back. I never want to work a job again and I would never want to miss out on so many special moments with my kids.
