We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful SHAUNTAMIKA FRILEY Green. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with SHAUNTAMIKA below.
SHAUNTAMIKA, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – walk us through the story?
I recently walked away from my corporate job. I was working for Rick Hendrick Consolidated Accounting office. I was stressed and unhappy because I knew this job wasn’t my final destination and I wasn’t really growing. Sometimes we become comfortable with a consistent pay check, but to become what your destined to be you will have to be uncomfortable. I mean I literally had a mental break down that’s how bad it was. One day I was at my computer almost in tears, and I just wrote my resignation letter, and said to my self “Its time Shaun.. Get it up”! God has gifted my hands to do many things! I began to understand my gift with my hands and I can supply many multiple streams of income, I just had to trust my self and hands.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
So “AmazingHandscookies “ started as a kind gesture to some who got me a job at L.A Fitness as a janitor! I want to show my appreciation, so I made him so cookies and everything shot off from there!! I have been shipping and providing local relievers for 6 years now! I have been through so ups and downs but I am determined to keep pushing and never stop! We have the best butter cookies in town!! And my caramel pound cake will definitely make you want to slap somebody! Like what make me different is that it’s truly a ministry for real! You wouldn’t believe the conversation and testimonies I here about a persons life, just off of purchasing cookies and cakes from me! A cookie! A cookie conversation turns into someone telling how good God has been to then and want they have been through! It’s a amazing!! I am most proud that I have stayed consistent and my family has taken amazing hands and branched off into a new business venture “Tha Eatin Greens”. I would love our new followers and clients to know that we love and appreciate their support and we have so much to share with the world!!we love to put smiles on people faces and joy in their hearts!! This world is in a chaotic place right now, if a warm slice of caramel pound cake put a smile on a growing face and angry heart.. it will be worth it.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
When the pandemic happened I was like Omg what are we gonna do! My mind went into straight fear and doubt. My mind was racing daily, wondering how would I serve the people and or if people would want to buy it was crazy! But, God had to sit me down and get me all the at together ! He needed me to trust the him and not what I see! I honestly made more money in pandemic than I ever had since starting the business! When I tell you a sista was busy busy.. I was BUSY HONEY! Hallelujah!! I was grateful for the love and support!!
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
One the things that has helped my reputation is consistency! Consistency in my product and on social media. I leaned the more people see you post and enter act with them and you are genuine and you bring good product , you will have forever clients! I understand that Ian not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s ok! I am grateful for the people who love what I do and what it does for them!
