Shanelle Kunz: Entrepreneur in marketing/sales and investments

Welcome to The Mom Enterprise, a weekly podcast hosted by Kendra Martinez featuring working Moms who find a way to manage it all.   Episode Guest: Shanelle Kunz  Shanelle Kunz was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, shortly after marrying her husband, they spent 3 years traveling to different cities across the U.S. selling alarm systems door to door. In 2015, they decided to move to Phoenix, Arizona, plant some roots and start a family. With a sales opportunity they felt they couldn't pass up, off to Arizona they went. A year after they settled there, Shanelle got pregnant with her daughter and they bought their first home.  Her daughter was in some aspects a catalyst of growth for them. She brought in a whole new challenge factor but shortly after she was born, they started to really invest their money. They bought their first rental property in 2016, a second in 2017 and our third, which they turned into an airbnb in 2018. Shanelle and her husband also "flipped" 1 house in 2016 and 2 in 2017. All while marketing and selling for solar (semi)-full time. So that exponential growth, now in retrospect, all happened after her daughter was born. With that being said, they had a major pay raise that allowed them to reinvest into real estate but Shanelle believe that her daughter's birth was subconsciously a motivating factor as well.  When not tending their 2.5 year old and 6 month old, flipping homes or managing their AIRbnb; Shanelle does FB marketing and cold calls, to generate sales leads/appointments for her husband to go to.  Shanelle is also the Author of "manifesto" called The Empowered Work at Home Mama.   Listen to hear more about Shanelle's story:  3:15 | Jumping into Sales with Shanelle. 8:30 | The Elevator Pitch on Solar and understanding it's benefits. 15:50 | The Breakdown of flipping houses and real estate . 20:30 | Managing schedules between sales, real estate investments and family. 27:25 | Starting a family. 37:30 | Managing the household. 39:35 | Making time for yourself and the changes you go through as a mother. 49:10 | Lightening Round! 51:50 | Biggest Mom oops. 52:30 | What's next for Shanelle.   Links mentioned: Calm Magnesium Gummies Fisher Price Pool IG @Shanelle_Miraclemornings Shaenllekunz.com   Follow this podcast: Instagram: @themomenterprise Website: www.themomenterprise.com Contact Us: [email protected] Music: www.bensound.com   Producer: Kendra Martinez Co-Producer/Editor: Lexi Burrows
