I am officially a national speaker and my column has been picked up in another Newspaper and on its way to being syndicated. The website is getting a redesign, online classes are coming, the blog is switching to word press and so many other things are happening.
My schedule is growing and CouponQueeny is going on the road again this summer/fall for workshops and seminars.
I can't tell you how much God had a hand in this. I also can't believe it has been a little over 1 year since I taught the first class that started it all. (Thank you Merideth for pushing me). After things started taking off, I still had to work. Our family is still to this day a paycheck to paycheck family. I hope one day to not be.. God willing and with Dave Ramseys help.
We were praying for someone to help us with the investment into my Organizer system in bulk direct from the manufacturer instead of ordering a few dozen at a time and then I remember the day like it was yesterday that I pulled over on my dirt road as my heart was breaking on what to do...how to walk away from CouponQueeny because something just had to give. I couldn't continue to work all day, be a wife, mom etc.. and then work until 2am every night on the website (which isn't paying me any $$) and then get up and do it all over again. I was physically sick and emotionally over run. I finally gave it to God..all of it, not just part of it and let him take it. If he wanted me to still do this and help others and churches then he was going to have to put it in Neon letters because our house was going into Foreclosure. (Yes you read that correct)
Don't you know the next week I lost 2 bookkeeping jobs and then my schedule started filling up one class at a time and before you knew it I was doing more CouponQueeny and God was providing the way to do that. Well here we are 3 months later and we have been blessed beyond belief, not only did we get the investor, but so much more
CouponQueeny is going national and more.

Tanya,
Taking that leap of faith can be so frightening, can't it? He is just waiting for us to trust completely in His grace and His wisdom. Wishing you much success...your heart is so clearly in this venture. It is freeing to find your passion and be able to pursue it with His blessings. Looking forward to all the changes and updates!

I am so happy for you! I am so excited about the online classes. I have wanted to take one of your classes but have not been able to travel to the different locations. I was at the Southern Women's Show in Nashville and got to listen to you speak for about 5 mins before my 1 mo started protesting. Thank you so much for all of the things that I have learned from you!
Congrats Tonya! I'm so happy for you. I saw you at the Southern Women's Show in Raleigh and although I consider myself a coupon expert I was still able to walk away with some new stuff.(and ways to get it FREE!) I can't wait to see how far you go. Again congrats.
