We were lucky to catch up with Ashley Tolbert recently and have shared our conversation below.
Ashley, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
I wanted to become a needs based business, especially since i was already taking care of my family with all of my services. So my dad was one of the first people who told me to legalize my business “ashley get you a dba and start from there”. I took that piece of advice and started searching and went down to the court house the next week. With my wellness and life insurance business i can honestly say iw as solving a problem nobody else was. Nobody was talking about seamoss and actually used it, and nobody was saying how cheap life insurance is especially when you young. They only told me about go fund mes, so me being me i thought there has to be another way so i got licensed in 42 states after i passed my exam.
Ashley, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I started my entrepreneurial journey 3 years ago with the mindset that i knew i wanted to be my own boss and have control over my streams of income. Now i offer many professional services I am license to sale life and health insurance in 42 states, I also own a health and wellness company called KK WELLNESS COMPANY were we supply all natural supplements to our clients to improve their daily health. Also, i own a travel company where we specialize in luxurious travel services. What makes me so diverse is my desire to see everybody win and not see others as competition i am my own competition i’m just trying to be better than the older version of me.
One of my most honored moments i watching my brand grow into something so abundant.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
My resilience energy comes from having a burning desire to want to succeed. Nothing changes unless you change, you can’t be afraid to fail . Failure comes along with success what matters the most is that you didn’t give up.Starting my entrepreneur journey i failed more than i succeed but i knew i couldn’t give up on my dreams. I started off with no plan just a idea and a burning desire to do something different than what i been doing. Everything finally seem to be coming together for me i had my online dropshipping going and sold cups daily on etsy and locally. Once the pandemic hit business got slower and slower by the month most people would’ve too that as a sign to quit. Not me i said ashley you just gotta pivot your business sis and that’s how i have birth to my health and wellness company.
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Building my pressence on social media was easy because we live in a very social era. Everybody likes to post and be posted. I started off with instagram and facebook because those were the top two platforms i knew of a the start. You should find at least 2-3 platforms to post everyday and build your audience, try and engage as much as you can with them as well.
