Alright, Ashlee thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?

Beads by Ashlee was created in February 2020. February 2023 will be three years. In my opinion and based on my experience so far, I believe the following is what makes a business successful:

• Positive Mindset
• Marketing
• Consistentcy
• Networking
• Branding
• Exceptional customer service
• Business Plan
• Mentor

And finally, I believe a successful business has exceptional customer service.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?

Entrepreneurship was never a goal. It was God’s Plan.

One of my happy places was and still is beading. In January 2020, I decided to create some waist beads to boost my confidence and it worked! I knew I had awakened something special within, but I didn’t know I would be helping other women.

My first customer, Adrienne Danielle, posted her waist beads on social media in February 2020. The orders poured in and Beads by Ashlee was created!

Beads by Ashlee is an online jewelry store that specializes in sophisticated beaded waist beads and bracelets. All of our accessories are handmade with high quality beads, but most importantly LOVE. February 2023 will ve three years in business. I am so thankful.

I want women to know its not too late to find yourself again, Its not too late to find your purpose and live a fufilling life. I created Beads by Ashlee at age 39. Women can do anything! We are more than wives, mothers, and career women. We matter.I

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

These books have greatly impacted my entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy:

Mike Michalowicz “Profit First”
Sharon Lechter “Think and Grow Rich for Women”
Steve Harvey “Jump”\
Rachel Hollis “Girl, Stop Apologizing”
Gary Vaynerchuk “Crushing It”
