We recently connected with Charyl Williams and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Charyl, thanks for joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Adorn With Charyl is an online jewelry boutique offering boldness and beauty to sweeten your style on Zoom or in any room.
The mission of Adorn With Charyl is to help others embrace courage and embrace the opportunity to celebrate their own individuality, strength, and beauty, substantially transforming life as they know it.
As someone who has experienced doubting herself, it’s my mission to help others accept stepping out of their comfort zone; that’s what I mean when I say embrace courage.
The second part of my mission is to help others embrace the opportunity to celebrate their individuality, strength, and beauty substantially transforming life as they know it. What that means is I’d like to be a guide for people who want to take advantage of the business opportunity with Paparazzi Accessories. I’d help them to use their best attributes in their own jewelry business, which will serve as a catalyst for them living the life they’ve envisioned for themselves.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’ve always been into beauty since I was a little girl. I remember teaching myself to braid (mimicking my mom style hair) around age 5, and I was styling my own hair by age 9. I later became a licensed cosmetologist after graduating college, yet I had to end my cosmetology career, after six years, as a result of developing a chemical allergy. I’m now a Beauty Adornment Guide (Independent Paparazzi Consultant), continuing my passion for beautifying others. Through my online boutique, I offer people boldness and beauty through stylish jewelry to sweeten their style on Zoom or in any room.
The one thing I am most proud of is being healed enough to continue to show up in my purpose and share my story with others. It’s devastating and challenging to lose a career and to not be able to perform the services I’m not just really great at but also passionate about. However, I’ve transformed my passion for offering beauty services into a passion for beautifying others through affordable jewelry and helping others to beautify their lives through starting their own jewelry business.
I also share the details of my story regarding my cosmetology career in an anthology titled Phenomenal Faith: Here Because I Was Healed that will be available on Amazon at the end of October 2022.
Can you open up about how you funded your business?
When I decided to become an Independent Paparazzi Consultant, I had a full-time job, and I was also renting a space offering the very few beauty services that I could, given that I had developed a chemical allergy, preventing me from providing the services I mainly offered.
The beauty of starting a business through a network marketing company is that a lot of business capital is not needed to start, and that’s what I love most about the opportunity with Paparazzi Accessories. There are three kit options business owners can choose from, with the initial investment being $499, $299 or $99.
In full transparency, I was initially moved by the discount on the jewelry, and that’s why I signed up and invested in the $99 kit. Worst case scenario is, I got $175 worth of cute jewelry and some training materials. The best case scenario is I transform that initial $99 investment into hundreds or thousands of dollars, and that’s exactly what I am doing.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Your First Year in Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell and Rene Reid Yarnell is a book that has influenced my thinking as a network marketer business owner.
The book has shifted my mindset because it’s helped me to see that being a network marketer is a unique work experience. For instance, people can show up in many different job roles with no enthusiasm for their work and still get the job done. However, network marketers have to approach their work high-spirited and energized, which can be challenging given the experiences that entrepreneurs in network marketing face, like lack of support from family and friends and rejection when sharing the opportunity.
