Buckle up because you're about to get up close and personal with me, Kristy Yoder!!
During my college years, my "resourcefulness" shined through. I worked full time while studying and often cut classes. Lucky for me, my classmates were willing to help me with projects (with a little money involved to motivate them), and I somehow managed to get through college. It wasn’t the most conventional route, but hey, I made it!
I'll be the first to tell you that I hated studying. I am all about finding the most efficient ways to do things. I learned to make use of what I have.
I learned how to live life through real life experiences and learning from my "calculated" mistakes.
When I finally arrived in the US, we had a simple, heartfelt wedding. My husband’s mother took the reins on the arrangements, ensuring everything was perfect despite a tight budget. We spent just $500 on the wedding, and thanks to a family friend with a cabin in Tennessee, our honeymoon was a blissful, no-cost retreat. To top it all, my dad managed to secure a tourist visa to attend our wedding —a rare and cherished moment for me and my husband.
I can still remember many sleepless nights while I was building my business, but they were all worth it because I believe that what I do impacts many people's lives.
So, how did I do it? I credit my success to courage and adaptability. Moving from the Philippines to the US meant overcoming language barriers and cultural differences, all while building a business from scratch.
But my journey isn’t just about me. I believe in supporting others, fostering collaboration, and expanding network. I was blessed to have an amazing team who believes in the mission and vision of the business.
I am passionate about helping other businesses achieve freedom and flexibility while growing their businesses.
I host a podcast called Master Delegator, where my guests and I teach entrepreneurs how to live a freedom-filled lifestyle.
I also facilitate a monthly business networking event to help like-minded individuals grow their businesses through authentic connections.
I create videos on YouTube and am passionate about building a community of Filipinos living abroad to support each other.
On a personal note, I am a furmom to our cute Golden Retriever puppy, Maestro, and a faithful wife to my husband, James.
