Nacho Kids Academy Success Story:
“My stepkid is 20 years old. Does nothing but lay on the couch playing on their phone all day. It was driving me crazy. Like, really. I lost my composure several times. An attorney recommended Nacho Kids to me. They were friends of my husbands and my husband told them I was going crazy. I joined the Academy and immediately started doing the bootcamp. It wasn’t easy and I understand why it’s a 30-day course, there’s a lot to it. Day 7 I was finally seeing that things could be different. I finished the bootcamp and said what the heck and did the thinking challenge next. I thought the bootcamp was good, but wow! That thinking one is mind blowing! And I definitely know now why Lori says to do the bootcamp first and to do them separately.
I’ve learned through Lori and David’s nacho academy that I can choose to be a part of the solution or a part of the problem. I chose to be a part of the solution.” ~ R.R.
