Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to CHIVAS DAVIS. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

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

In my company Paint with Faith there are 3 pillars and I live by them to make me and the people I work with successful. 1. MOTIVATION. Is the key to get you started. Something or someone to activate you to go or keep going. Most of all your self.
2. GUIDANCE. You need to be shown the way or directions and get educated on what you want to achieve.
3. FAITH. The ability to believe its going to happen no matter what happens on the journey to success.

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

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

In 2019 we decided that Paint with Faith would go virtually in 2022. Well, God had another plan when the world shut down in 2020 and all of our clients canceled their contracts and classes. That spring break we offer free Paint with Faith classes live on Facebook. This gave me the ingenuity and confidence to do virtually classes with willing clients. From that moment on we have done Paint with Faith classes with people all over the country and internationally.

Let’s talk M&A – we’d love to hear your about your experience with buying businesses

Yes in 2021, I bought a Convenience store. My wife and I were in the city of Rochester to celebrate a 60th birthday party. While in the city I came across a store that had a 3/1 house above it at a more than appealing price. I immediately reached out to the agent who then told me go to the store and speak to the owner. He said he delt compelled to selk to me and me only. I didn’t have the money to buy it though and after months of trying I was denied funding. Then, God had a different plan and I was bless to receive full funding from another source.
