Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Candace Holyfield Parker . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Candace , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Can you share a customer success story with us?
One of my amazing clients Sheila Foye made her first 7 figures from Instagram using my proven 7 figure instagram frame work. When I met Sheila she was not even on social media with her business. She has a drug screening company. At the time I was only charging $300. That $300 turned into 7 figured for Sheila. She is one of my best students and my number 7 millionaire. She took the marketing place by storm with her how to own a drug screening company. Her Instagram is @iamsheilamichelle

Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
I started my spa business in 2010. I funded the initial start up with my own money from being a waitress while still in massage school. It wasn’t until 2017 I got my first working capital from pay pal. They kept calling me but I thought it was to good to be true. Over the years pay pal has funded over $500k for my business which allowed me to turn that into 7 figures. Once I learned about business credit my business took off from $10k months to $100k months. I high also suggest setting up an account with nav.com if you need funding for your business. I now use the bank money to fund any project. I take that money flip it, pay bank bank and keep the profit.
Have you ever had to pivot?
When the pandemic first hit in 2020 I was during China group trips. I lost $200k due to the world being shut down. I cried for days. My spa was shut down and my China trips. I also had a fairly new 18 wheeler trucking business with my husband. One of trucks broke down that same week. I couldn’t wrap my head around what was happening in my life that week. As the number one spa queen other spa professionals were looking at me for answers. I quickly got it together in 4 days. I created weekly zooms for spa professionals to teach how to pivot through this pandemic. That week taught me that I’m still the Resilience Queen.
