Beschreibung

What if your next income stream was already sitting inside your home? Kim Ward sits down with Beth and Grayson Thompson, a busy Ohio family with three children who turned everyday products they already owned into a powerful side income through the Amazon Influencer Program. Beth and Grayson share the honest behind the scenes story of how they went from earning pennies in the beginning to generating over $10,000 per month in onsite commissions. They talk about the early mistakes, the doubts, the slow start, and the consistent action that helped them build momentum over time. This conversation is for anyone who has wondered whether ordinary families can really make money with the Amazon Influencer Program without a huge audience, a warehouse full of products, or a complicated business model. Beth and Grayson prove that with patience, consistency, and a willingness to learn, a simple side hustle can become a life changing income stream. If you are looking for a realistic way to create more freedom, build an income stream around family life, and make use of products you already own, this episode will open your eyes to what is possible.Resources Mentioned; 1.

Busy Isn’t Working: The Hard Truth That Changed My Business (and My Life)

What do you actually consider working in your business? In this raw and honest episode, Kim shares the moment that changed everything, when her husband asked a question that hit harder than any strategy ever could: “Do you have us?” What followed wasn’t more hustle… it was a complete shift in how she showed up. If you’ve been stuck in “pre-work”, scrolling, learning, planning, but not truly moving the needle this episode is your wake-up call. Kim breaks down the difference between being busy and being productive, the fears that keep us stuck, and how messy, imperfect action led to over $110K in just four months. This is about more than business. It’s about ownership, courage, and finally doing the things that actually change your life. 📚 On the Blog: http://www.lifebydesignsolutions.com [http://www.lifebydesignsolutions.com ]👉Pin to Profit Network Skool https://successwithkimward.com/skool [https://successwithkimward.com/skool]👉Kim’s Amazon Storefront: https://successwithkimward.com/amazon [https://successwithkimward.com/amazon]👉 Follow for more episodes about entrepreneurship, mindset, and designing a life you loveDISCLAIMERS AND DISCLOSURES: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

Are we living in the end times, or are we avoiding the real question? In this powerful conversation, Kim Ward sits down with Chris Collier to unpack a question many people are quietly asking right now, but the discussion goes far beyond prophecy or fear. Together, they explore what it really means to live with a Kingdom mindset in today’s world and how faith is meant to shape the way we lead, work, think, and live every day. Chris shares honest insight on the difference between faith and religion, the role of God’s Word in daily life, and what it truly looks like to follow Christ with purpose and conviction. This episode challenges cultural Christianity and invites listeners into a deeper understanding of identity, alignment, and action.
