Hey!! Thanks for stopping by my site, I’d like to tell you a little bit about us, myself and the Awesome Community I’m a part of. My name is Monique Smith and I was born and raised in Colorado. I currently live in Westminster Colorado. My mission is to share life hacks, parenting hacks, recipes, opportunities, products, and services that have helped improve mine and my Family’s lives. Luckily, I’ve had the help, guidance, support and mentorship through an incredible online community that has helped me improve my life and finances in so many ways!
My Story – A Journey of Growth
My story is a long one, but I’ll give you the Cliff notes….. I started this business as a side hustle to help my family during Covid when restaurants were shut down. My Husband and I opened a Microgreens business at the end of 2018 growing and selling organic Microgreens to a few restaurants and Co-ops. When restaurants were shut down, our income took a huge hit. The Job market at the time was a nightmare, plus with a Panic Disorder it was hard to try to find something I was able to work at during this time. But then my Mom introduced me to this incredible community.
As I started working with this community and building my online business, I was learning a lot, having a ton of fun, and steadily building an income. By the time restaurants had started opening back up, most of the restaurants we were working with previously had decided to scale back their menus to deal with costs or to close permanently.
So I had a decision to make…. It was either I put in a ton of hours and time TRYING to find new restaurants to work with to rebuild the Microgreens business, or use that same time and energy to continue building the journey of growth I had started to pass the time. After a lot of prayers, number crunching, pro and con lists, I decided to stick with my online business and continue to build and grow here. And I’m so grateful I did!
From Stay at Home Mom and Microgreens Grower to Performance Blogger
For years after my daughters were born, I was unable to work and was getting help for Postpartum Depression and a Panic Disorder. I wasn’t able to work and had help taking care of my young kids some days. After a few years, prayers, trail and error with different medications, herbs ect. I was able to get to a point where I could at least try to make an income from home.
My husband and I started a Microgreens business and we were selling our products to neighbors, a few restaurants, and a Farmers Co-op. I gained a lot of skills through that business, that still help me with what I do today. It was starting to grow until the pandemic hit. And that’s when I was introduced to this community and started my journey as a Performance Blogger. (Which also introduced me to a product that helped with my mental health journey as well)
I never thought I would be someone who could earn any type of income working on a computer with my lack of tech skills. But with this incredible community and it’s mentorship, it’s become my reality!
What I Do Now as a Performance Blogger
I’ve been with this community and have been building my online business for 5 years now. I’ve worked my way up to a GSI within the community. Helping and teaching others how to find success with the system. Under the teaching of Rory Ricord; the author of Marketing is Freedom, and the incredible mentors/leadership team he built. Following the system and guidance, I’ve been able to build and find time and financial freedom.
This hub is the glue for everything I do, and it means so much more to me than just earning an income. It’s something I was able to build, grow and help my friends and family with in more ways than one.

But being able to share it with others who want better for their lives is what keeps me going. I’m grateful that I can share the same opportunities that have changed my life with those wanting to improve their health, wealth and overall wellbeing!
