What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business name is Unscripted Lookz Boutique. I am an Independent Paparazzi consultant selling lead and nickel-free jewelry. My customer base includes professional businesswomen who may serve in community roles as speakers, authors, real estate, and/or public figures who desire jewelry and accessories that make the outfit pop!
Tell us about yourself
Over 25 years, I have worked and volunteered in different industries. I currently work as an Assistant Community Manager, a mindset coach part-time, and this is my newest business, jewelry. I am elated to know that even in my childhood, I played in my mother's jewelry and dress-up items and acted as if I was delivering a very important product, directive, and message. A message that encourages all women of all ages and ethnic groups that it is okay to wear your jewelry and statement pieces to slay your world each day. I feel whatever makes my customers feel worthy of walking in their beauty is what they should buy, and nothing less. What motivates me every day is the fact that I love to see all women win, no matter what level in life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the fact that I decided to move forward to do something I absolutely love and receive income. I earned top CSAT surveys recently, as customers tend to voice they like my services.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I see that some of the top challenges are as follows: Understanding that building a business is not an overnight venture, and a business owner must be willing to accept the right risks upfront to gain momentum, in the building, of the brand.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Pray, Persist, and Propose. Pray daily over your business. Persist with the necessary steps that are needed to grow the business. Propose and assume the owner's position and the accountability to follow through with each task, no matter how long some of the tasks may take. We cannot expect a great thing in two seconds. If you are like me, you are focusing on building a legacy for you, your family, and all that is connected to us.
