My Mother spent her final decade on Earth 'making do'. 

She raised me on her own...a single Mom at 38.

When it came time to think about retirement, her answer was always the same:

"I won't live that long", she would always tell me. (and it always hurt to hear her say it)

As it turns out, she DID live that long...a full 10 years longer than she thought.

And she wasn't financially prepared for it.

All she had during that last decade she lived was her social security income.

And it wasn't enough to support her in retirement.

She spent the last 10 years of her life living with family and friends.

She "made do".

So what did I do when I grew up?

I became a Retirement Planner for Single Mothers.

I'm Chris Hudspeth with Retriever Financial, and I specialize in retirement planning for single Mothers.

Maybe, by helping a Mother out there plan for a safe, dependable retirement, I can pay homage to Mom.

If you're a single Mother with questions about money and saving for retirement, I'd love to help!

Rooting for you...

For years, I felt unseen.

This year: Forbes saw me.

In 2019, I woke up without direction - no appreciation, no self-worth.

In 2021, I joined a LinkedIn cohort, built a community, and posted despite fear.

One DM changed everything.

Today, I coach leaders on LinkedIn and mindset.

100% of my income comes from coaching and workshops.

What changed:

• I visualize my goals and practice gratitude daily.

• I began meditating in 2023 and attended Dr. Joe Dispenza retreats.

• I reconnected with my purpose and acted on it.

• I turned my strength (deep connection) into intentional DMs and comments.

• I made my mission simple: help and inspire.

That momentum led to a TEDx, a keynote, and hundreds of workshops.

Speaking became my second passion.
Audience feedback fuels me.

How I run it solo:

No automation.
No virtual assistant.
No AI for connections.

Just value.
Just stories.
Just genuine care.

When you truly care, connection starts.
Money follows when helping comes first.

What moved you from unseen to seen?

No results on LinkedIn?

It’s about feedback and focus.

After 4 years and 200+ leaders, the pattern is clear:
Results come from doing + guidance.

I still hear:
“I’m doing LinkedIn my way.”

They’re surprised when I tell them:

“My client recently changed her activity strategy and inbound inquiries started within one week.”

Yes, you can figure it out - if you have years to learn from mistakes.

If you want results faster, learn from people who’ve already walked the path.

Results come from balancing learning by doing with learning from people ahead of you.

LinkedIn works if you:

• Follow a personalized strategy
• Use it with a growth mindset
• Know your target audience
• Understand the platform

When you know why you do what you do, results follow - on LinkedIn and in business.

Why are you on LinkedIn?

No results on LinkedIn?  
Sarka Risch, LinkedIn coach, mindset strategist, and speaker, explains why some people still don’t get results on LinkedIn, even though they’re “doing it their own way.”  
If you want results faster, learn from those who’ve already walked the path.
