• 1:17
  Trudy Toche: Grew up in Gulfport, mississippi, native to Mississippi Gulf Coast.
• 1:22
  Trudy Toche: After graduating from the University of South Alabama, you know, I had a degree in the healthcare field.
• 1:28
  Trudy Toche: I worked a few years here at a local hospital and then it was time for my next move.
• 1:36
  Trudy Toche: I had an opportunity to move to New York City, and I was always an adventurer, and so I took the opportunity, ended up in New York City for a few years, new Jersey for seven years.
• 1:49
  Trudy Toche: That's where I kind of started my career and started a family.
• 1:54
  Trudy Toche: And then, of course, you know, when family comes, life changes, your priorities change and I ended up in Jacksonville Florida.
• 2:01
  Trudy Toche: Are you still married?
• 2:01
  Trudy Toche: I'm not.
• 2:02
  Trudy Toche: Jacksonville Florida.
• 2:03
  Ron Meyers: Are you still married?
• 2:04
  Trudy Toche: I'm not.
• 2:05
  Trudy Toche: I am currently single.
• 2:07
  Ron Meyers: You hold a prestigious award, don't you, with Mary Kay Cosmetics?
• 2:10
  Trudy Toche: Yes.
• 2:11
  Trudy Toche: So life changes when you have children.
• 2:13
  Trudy Toche: So in New York City daycare was very expensive and so I reviewed kind of my life being a new mom and so I stepped away from my career and was being a mom.
• 2:25
  Trudy Toche: But I loved my career.
• 2:27
  Trudy Toche: I loved helping people in the hospital, and so Mary Kay Cosmetics came into my life.
• 2:31
  Trudy Toche: I went to just an event and fell in love with it.
• 2:36
  Trudy Toche: I fell in love with the philosophy.
• 2:38
  Trudy Toche: It definitely aligned with my upbringing and so I started with Mary Kay Cosmetics.
• 2:45
  Trudy Toche: So I weaved it in and out of my life for several years, just you know, kind of playing around with it.
• 2:51
  Trudy Toche: And when the big life change happened, I really sat down and reviewed kind of where I was and I was like you know what, I'm going to see, what this little business can really do.
• 3:03
  Trudy Toche: And I set a big goal and it was a really big goal and I was number one in sales for Mary Kay Cosmetics out of 2.5 million other women.
• 3:16
  Ron Meyers: That's awesome, but before you got there, there was probably a lot of low parts in your life.
• 3:21
  Ron Meyers: What is some of the adversity that you've gone through and how did you get past adversity to discover success?
• 3:31
  Trudy Toche: Well, I have to say I am truly, truly blessed to have a humble background and you know what.
• 3:39
  Trudy Toche: I was always brought to church, you know, with my family, my grandmother.
• 3:44
  Trudy Toche: That was also just something that was a part of our life growing up here in Mississippi.
• 3:48
  Trudy Toche: And you know, as you grow and get older you kind of go away from it.
• 3:52
  Trudy Toche: You know college age and stuff, but the seed had been planted.
• 3:55
  Trudy Toche: That seed had been planted and I gave my life to Christ.
• 3:59
  Trudy Toche: I think I was around 10, 12 years old and so he was always in my heart, 10, 12 years old, and so he was always in my heart.
• 4:08
  Trudy Toche: And so, as life kind of gets tough, you kind of lean back to God and Jesus and asking for help and guidance as you go through the valleys of life.
• 4:15
  Trudy Toche: I definitely my faith was super important and you know God will carry you when you asked him for help.
• 4:23
  Ron Meyers: Now you've got children that are getting ready to go off to college, right?
• 4:27
  Ron Meyers: What kind of mom advice do you give them to head out in the world when mom and dad aren't around them?
• 4:34
  Trudy Toche: Well, you know, I've been a solo mom for 11 years.
• 4:39
  Trudy Toche: I like to say solo mom.
• 4:40
  Trudy Toche: I don't like the label of single, because that's exactly what I am.
• 4:44
  Trudy Toche: Their dad lives several states away and it was up to me to take care of business, and so that's a reason that I love Mary Kay so much, because it was freedom and flexibility to flex in and around our really challenging life of being a solo mom and not having family.
• 5:01
  Trudy Toche: My boys are I can't even believe it they're 21 and 18.
• 5:06
  Trudy Toche: The oldest is going into the military, the Marine Corps.
• 5:10
  Trudy Toche: Yeah, and the youngest will be graduating in a few months and he'll be headed off to college.
• 5:16
  Trudy Toche: University of Florida is his top choice.
• 5:18
  Trudy Toche: But I have always been able to really to show the boys I've always been an example of show the boys that life is going to get tough and so churches and going to church and having God in our life has always been an important part of our family unit.
• 5:35
  Trudy Toche: You know we do daily prayer, morning to night, and I do what I can because it's tough, challenging, raising children, boys period in this day and age, and so I really do try to just sprinkle God and Jesus into our life because I know things are going to get tough.
• 5:52
  Ron Meyers: You have been a solo mom for what?
• 5:55
  Ron Meyers: Eight years?
• 5:56
  Ron Meyers: No for 11 years 11 years has that been a tough thing.
• 6:02
  Trudy Toche: It has faced.
• 6:03
  Ron Meyers: I've faced many, much adversity and challenges, just you know, raising kids today even you know Well and I ask that because there are a lot of people listening right now that are in that same boat Any advice or wisdom that you'd give them.
• 6:16
  Trudy Toche: You know, for me, that's where I really started to lean in on God and I'm like, okay, lord, I thought my life was going this direction and it's not.
• 6:24
  Trudy Toche: So give me the strength and courage, and that's what I would pray every day.
• 6:28
  Trudy Toche: It's like, lord, give me the strength and courage to get to the next day, and I think, as being a solo parent or a single parent or any challenges that you have in life you really just want to get to the next best day, your next best step, and a lot of worry and anxiety that people have is worrying about the past and you can't change that, or worrying about the future and it's not here yet, and so you really want to stay in the present, because that's truly a gift.
• 6:55
  Ron Meyers: Is attitude important?
• 6:57
  Trudy Toche: Well, I think for me and my business.
• 6:59
  Trudy Toche: I don't know how much you know about Mary Kay Cosmetics, but Mary Kay was a devout Christian and she was a real person.
• 7:07
  Trudy Toche: You know Betty Crocker was not a real person, but Mary Kay was, and she was also a solo mom of three and everybody told her she would not be successful.
• 7:12
  Trudy Toche: She used her life savings mid forties to start this company 61 years ago.
• 7:17
  Trudy Toche: It's over 40 countries worldwide and they're number one in skincare, and so they really, really, really do a great job, both on the research and development, the professionalism, and we are a privately held company based in Dallas, texas.
• 7:33
  Trudy Toche: Our mission statement is to go on a roll do unto others, as you have, do unto you.
• 7:37
  Trudy Toche: And then Mary Kay really said you know, for all of our sales force, really it's God first, family second, career third.
• 7:41
  Trudy Toche: And then Mary Kay really said you know, for all of our sales force, really it's God first, family second, career third.
• 7:43
  Trudy Toche: And whether you're in Mary Kay or out of Mary Kay, when you have those principles aligned, you can be successful in whatever you do.
• 7:51
  Trudy Toche: And so for me, I really look at Mary Kay as a part of.
• 7:57
  Trudy Toche: I feel like I'm a Mary Kay missionary.
• 7:59
  Trudy Toche: So when I do my work, of course money's important and it's a business model, but I don't really place the business thing first.
• 8:07
  Trudy Toche: I placed with the opportunity to be a blessing over someone else's life.
• 8:12
  Trudy Toche: I'm going to help you look and feel beautiful and I'm going to coach you to that, or I and you're going to hear about God, because I pray with all my clients before any event.
• 8:21
  Ron Meyers: So you care about your clients I do they become family?
• 8:25
  Ron Meyers: I tell people love what you do, do what you love and just care about the people you are dealing with and money just seems to appear.
• 8:34
  Ron Meyers: What advice do you give people, or maybe someone that is thinking about starting a business, because it took you quite a few years to get to have the title you have now right?
• 8:44
  Trudy Toche: Yeah, I've been with the company for 20 years and, you know, until I really had life adversity, like truly life change, I started to sit down and just evaluate kind of where I was.
• 8:56
  Trudy Toche: Now, because of this amazing company and the opportunity, I've launched another business.
• 9:02
  Trudy Toche: It's called Positively Profiling.
• 9:04
  Trudy Toche: That is my speaking business.
• 9:06
  Trudy Toche: I speak coach and that is another avenue of a job that I branched out of Mary Kay and because of the award and people want to hear me train on sales development, speak coach.
• 9:22
  Ron Meyers: Okay, coach someone out there.
• 9:23
  Ron Meyers: They're having a rough time, they're thinking about quitting their business and nothing is going well, even though they have a great business.
• 9:29
  Ron Meyers: You're the coach.
• 9:30
  Ron Meyers: Tell them what do they need to do.
• 9:32
  Trudy Toche: So I sit down just quickly and really evaluate kind of where they're spending their time and their mindset.
• 9:38
  Trudy Toche: You really do have to have a clear mindset and what your priorities.
• 9:43
  Trudy Toche: What are you spending your time on?
• 9:45
  Trudy Toche: And I say God is number one.
• 9:48
  Trudy Toche: Like you got to have him ingrained and threaded into your life, because you cannot be successful in anything you do without some type of connection, relationship with God.
• 10:01
  Ron Meyers: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 10:03
  Ron Meyers: And I tell people, winners never quit and quitters never win.
• 10:08
  Ron Meyers: And sometimes people are so close to quitting and if they would just hang in there a little longer, the blessing and everything comes.
• 10:18
  Trudy Toche: That's when the breakthrough happens, on that very, very pivotal point, to where people just feel hopeless and they want to give up.
• 10:25
  Trudy Toche: If you just keep going and pray for strength, courage, for doors to open.
• 10:32
  Trudy Toche: That's what I'm doing right now in my season of life.
• 10:34
  Trudy Toche: I'm like, okay, lord, where, after all of this that you've given me and everything that you've brought me through now, what do you want me to do, um, and how do you want me to show up?
• 10:45
  Trudy Toche: Because I'm here to serve you, to build the kingdom, um, and so that's an exciting place to be, and so the door will open.
• 10:53
  Trudy Toche: You know, he will open a door that no man can.
• 10:56
  Ron Meyers: So were you ever in a position in your life where you felt hopeless?
• 11:02
  Trudy Toche: I think for me, the most challenging time was during the divorce.
• 11:06
  Trudy Toche: It was not planned.
• 11:08
  Trudy Toche: I did not want to be divorced.
• 11:10
  Trudy Toche: I prayed for many years for things to be different and it was not.
• 11:15
  Trudy Toche: And so then, what happens with for me?
• 11:19
  Trudy Toche: During that time, my whole life changed Like okay, now where do I go, what do I do, how do I live life, how do I proceed?
• 11:27
  Trudy Toche: And literally I got in my knees every single day and ask God for strength and courage and for direction.
• 11:36
  Ron Meyers: That is so important what you bring up, trudy, strength and courage, because a lot of people have great ideas and they have great business models, but they just don't have the courage to follow it all the way to the end.
• 11:50
  Ron Meyers: They hit a bumpy road.
• 11:52
  Ron Meyers: I know because this happened in my life.
• 11:53
  Ron Meyers: I've been on my own since I was 15 years old and I've had a lot of bumps, but I was always focused on where I want to go, and that, as a successful entrepreneur you are, is what I tell people.
• 12:06
  Ron Meyers: You've got to believe.
• 12:07
  Ron Meyers: You've got to believe that you will achieve it and, as you said, have that strength and have that courage.
• 12:18
  Ron Meyers: So the days you don't want to get up, you don't want to make another phone call, you don't want to go to a meeting because you think they're going to say no to you, I tell them hey, don't prejudge.
• 12:23
  Ron Meyers: You know, sometimes the blessings come out of the things that we avoided the most.
• 12:28
  Ron Meyers: And then we do them and we think, why was I so afraid of it?
• 12:31
  Ron Meyers: It turned out pretty good.
• 12:32
  Trudy Toche: Yeah, so one of the great things that I tell my children and people that I coach and you know just some great advice is really going to take a checklist of who's in your corner, who's around you.
• 12:44
  Trudy Toche: You are a product of the five people you hang out with, and so that's a good point.
• 12:49
  Trudy Toche: If you're hanging out with people who are naysayers, you're going to be naysayers.
• 12:52
  Trudy Toche: If you're hanging out with people who are going to jail guess what You're going to jail.
• 12:56
  Trudy Toche: And so on the positive note, if you are hanging out with people who are goal setting um positive moving forward in life, you it rubs off on you.
• 13:08
  Ron Meyers: And you even went on a mission trip, didn't you, with Tim Tebow's father.
• 13:12
  Trudy Toche: I did.
• 13:13
  Trudy Toche: I'm on my second trip Uh the first one during the life change um and 2018, I had the opportunity to go with Mr Bob Tebow to uh serve with him and his ministry to the Philippines for two weeks.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 13:26
  Trudy Toche: And their mission is how do you help thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people that need help?
• 13:31
  Trudy Toche: It's through Jesus Christ and giving them hope.
• 13:34
  Trudy Toche: So I hiked in many villages, backpacks for the day, and remote.
• 13:41
  Trudy Toche: They'd never seen anyone from the US or light-skinned.
• 13:45
  Trudy Toche: They didn't have running water, electricity, and that was astounding to me.
• 13:50
  Trudy Toche: I mean, I knew it happened, but when you experience it in the flesh and for me to say that I'm here to give you hope, and hope is through Jesus Christ, is really.
• 14:01
  Trudy Toche: I cried every day.
• 14:03
  Ron Meyers: Wow, yeah, I think I was really awestruck when you told me about your experience over there.
• 14:09
  Ron Meyers: Maybe I'll go one day with Mr Tebow.
• 14:12
  Trudy Toche: What's the name of his?
• 14:12
  Ron Meyers: mission.
• 14:14
  Trudy Toche: Mr Bob Tebow, you can Google it, for cause Tim also is his son and they don't.
• 14:20
  Trudy Toche: They live very close to me in Jacksonville, so it's wonderful to be able to be so close to them and their mission is Jesus Christ.
• 14:27
  Trudy Toche: And so I did get my calling, really when I was in the Philippines after serving for two weeks.
• 14:33
  Trudy Toche: So I really encourage people to volunteer because you know what you think you're going to help them and they end up blessing you, and so when you serve others, they end up blessing you, and so for me, I was on after crying, you know, for two weeks serving.
• 14:51
  Trudy Toche: I was like Lord, what do you want me to do now?
• 14:53
  Trudy Toche: Like where do I go from here?
• 14:55
  Trudy Toche: And he spoke to me on the beach in the area of Osiris in the Philippines and it was like I'm talking to you now.
• 15:04
  Trudy Toche: He said rise up and say my name, be a light for others to follow, and that's it.
• 15:10
  Ron Meyers: Well, and you've done it.
• 15:11
  Ron Meyers: And now with a platform of being the top Mary Kay salesperson out of 2.5 million people, what a platform you have.
• 15:21
  Ron Meyers: You sell a lifestyle, a change in an attitude.
• 15:24
  Ron Meyers: You help make over their whole attitude and whole life, not just their looks, right.
• 15:30
  Trudy Toche: Well, I think you know anybody who's successful, whether you're going to medical school, whether you're, you know, going to be the top in insurance or radio, or just fill in the blank.
• 15:39
  Trudy Toche: Things that you have to do on the daily applies the same.
• 15:43
  Trudy Toche: You have to get up early, got to lead a healthy lifestyle.
• 15:46
  Trudy Toche: You got to really be around positive people.
• 15:49
  Trudy Toche: You got to be spirit led, or you have to believe in something higher than you, and for me it's, of course, jesus Christ.
• 15:55
  Trudy Toche: You got to have good sleep.
• 15:57
  Trudy Toche: I mean, you've got to set your goals clearly in front of you, you have to reevaluate your goals, and so those are the types of things that you just that any successful person needs to have in their life.
• 16:10
  Trudy Toche: I love it.
• 16:11
  Ron Meyers: I love it.
• 16:11
  Ron Meyers: You're doing good.
• 16:13
  Ron Meyers: I'm fired up just listening to you.
• 16:15
  Ron Meyers: Trudy, you said something to me that I thought was awesome Happiness is an inside job.
• 16:21
  Ron Meyers: What?
• 16:22
  Trudy Toche: do you mean?
• 16:22
  Trudy Toche: Happiness comes from within.
• 16:24
  Trudy Toche: So you really do have to each and every day work on what is making you happy, and for me it's living a God-filled life, having positive people around you, the things that really matter, loving your family, your health, and so no amount of material things is going to fulfill a void for you.
• 16:46
  Trudy Toche: And so, yes, it could be designer clothes or the fancy cars, the house, and none of that stuff is important.
• 16:57
  Trudy Toche: If you first do not have your life filled with God and the love that he has for you and you have for him, none of that other stuff will ever ever be able to make you happy.
• 17:09
  Trudy Toche: And so many people because with social media and what's out there are really chasing those things.
• 17:15
  Trudy Toche: And if anybody out there would like to reach out to me to learn more about my speaking coaching programs, you can reach me on IG at Trudy Positively Profiling.
• 17:27
  Ron Meyers: Well, listen time is running out and before we go, will you pray for our listeners please?
• 17:33
  Trudy Toche: Sure.
• 17:33
  Trudy Toche: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for the blessings that you give us each and every day.
• 17:38
  Trudy Toche: Thank you for Ron and his mission and his listeners and followers, his listeners and followers.
• 17:51
  Trudy Toche: Lord God, I'm just so thankful for this opportunity to be able to share your name and your word with others that are listening, and you know, if we can just help one more person by being an example for you know, for others to follow, then we are doing your work, and I just want to bless all the listeners here and just encourage them to keep going forward.
• 18:09
  Trudy Toche: Seek you out, lord God, and I just hope that you open doors and restore everything that you need to do, and I just am so thankful for this opportunity and who you created me to be, to be sitting here, speaking, saying your name and building your kingdom In Jesus' name, amen.
