About Carla – THE Fiery Grandma

Rich and me collage About Carla THE Fiery Grandma

 

Welcome to my online home.

My name is Carla J Gardiner,

otherwise known as

The Fiery Grandma.

I have been happily married to my husband, Rich for 33 years. Rich retired after 40 years with a local lumber mill and now has taken on the title of “Mr. Mom” taking care of the household duties while I bring home the bacon.

We have two grown kids. Our daughter Jeanette has been married for 10 years to her husband Nathan and they have given us four rambunctious grandchildren whom we adore. Our son Daniel is currently expecting his first baby with fiancé Larissa. As you can see they all are the apples of our eye and my WHY for building a business.

I currently own and operate an auto transport brokerage and dispatch center. As any successful business owner does, we started our Plan B several years ago. Our aim is to supplement our retirement fund to ensure our golden years will be truly golden. I am an ex-banker who just couldn’t see eye to eye with the corporate world. I’m a self-starter who couldn’t adjust to the slow paced world of “no one caring, just getting by and no one matters” mentality of most employees and supervisors in the work force. The best education I received was from the “school of hard knocks”.

I am a tenacious working woman who has refused to accept the status quo. I am not a “women’s libber” but I do believe in:
  • equality for every person, we were all created that way
  • respecting my elders, they’ve earned that right
  • using the manners my mother and father taught me and passing it on
I’ve always loved learning. Many of my friends call it a habit, I call it fun. The more I learn the more I want to learn and share. I enjoy: 
  • traveling with my family, exploring new places, cultures and foods
  • scrapbooking the many pictures I take on those travels…they tell my story
  • reading many different types of books including the Bible, self-help books, business tips and biographies of advocates of the underdog
  • mentoring other working women, building a community of friends

A few years ago when the economy started to plummet my business income took a dramatic dive. Scared, frustrated and unsure of how we would replace that income I came online looking for a mentor, a system to help our failing businesses grow. After spending thousands of dollars, countless hours and overcoming many frustrations I finally found the missing piece of the puzzle. I found a system and a mentor that has a track record with proven results. The journey hasn’t always been easy or on the right path, but it’s my journey that has lead to where I am now.

How did I earn the name “The Fiery Grandma”?

You see during my tumultuous journey I found myself stressed out to the max. I had allowed my career and business aspirations to consume my life. My health suffered and I nearly died because of it.

I found the secret to regaining my energy, endurance and youth…something I thought I had lost forever. I realized I had come a long way from the old, frumpy, unhappy and tired grandma of just a few weeks earlier.

Now, because of this secret I found not only renewed health but the fire in my gut, just like when I was in my twenties. My zest for life had returned and I wanted to shout it from the roof tops…I knew everyone would want to feel the way I was feeling again. The nickname “The Fiery Grandma” came to stick because my fiery passion for life had returned.

What you will learn from me is how I am using that secret to create a lifestyle my husband and I used to only dream of. I can show you how to regain your long-lasting energy, endurance and youth, your passion for life. You will learn how to use that passion and excitement to build a steady income for you and your family if you want to.
