“We went from $2,000/month to over $20,000/month—and my husband quit his job to do what he loves.”
After COVID forced a shutdown, Paula and her husband reopened their martial arts school with only 20 students and barely $2K/month in revenue. At the time, her husband was working 12-hour days, 7 days a week in a security business just to keep things afloat.
“We were burnt out. I prayed for a solution—and 7FD was the answer.”
