TIFFANY WILLIAMS

Q. Thanks for interviewing with us. Tell everyone who you are and what you do?

A. I’m Tiffany Williams, the Founder and CEO of Rich Girl Collective, an online training academy for women who are looking to turn their passion into a side hustle or a successful full-time business. Additionally, I’m a dynamic online business coach, digital marketing consultant, two-time bestselling author and speaker.

Q. What made you want to be an entrepreneur?

A. I, and many people I know, were heavily affected by Hurricane Katrina. From that experience, I knew I needed a recession proof job, so I embarked on a T-shirt, ecommerce business. Within a few years, it grew into a multi-million-dollar company, and I was able to quit my job. Now, I love helping women from all over do the same.

Q. Who has been one of your greatest inspirations in life?

A. I recently adopted a daughter, and she is my greatest inspiration. Every day, I’m motivated to not only help women become business owners, but I want to foster girls into independent, self-sufficient entrepreneurs as well. In fact, I’ve been working to create a brand for my daughter that will teach financial literacy to young children through workbooks and literature.

Q. Tell us about “Rich Girl Collective” and how you got your idea or concept for the business?

A. With my successful ecommerce business, my network started asking for advice on growing their businesses. So, I started a free Facebook group to field questions and named it Rich Girl Collective. From the group, I created a corresponding online membership called R.I.C.H Girl Academy--relationships, investments/ entrepreneurship, community and health/wellness-- to teach women how to create healthy lives and bank accounts.

Q. Do you believe there is some sort of pattern or formula to becoming a successful entrepreneur?

A. Every industry is different, but there are key actions all entrepreneurs should take when first starting out. First, master one thing at a time so you don’t become overwhelmed. Second, grow an audience right away to create buzz. Third, don’t compare yourself to others who’ve had a different trajectory and focus on your venture.

Q. What has been your most satisfying moment in business?

A. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was an incredibly difficult time and I was worried that my business was over. What happened, however, was that it started to grow exponentially. That was an amazing realization: even the impossible can happen.

Q. Can you give any advice to women who want to be entrepreneurs?

A. Research, but not too long. Though research is extremely important and should be given ample resources, many people stay at this step too long trying to perfect their product. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years, you can’t let perfection hold you back.

Q. What key activities would you recommend entrepreneurs to invest their time in?

A. Customer service can make or break a business. Implement systems and procedures to follow after a purchase to ensure repeat business.

Q. Do you have any major projects you are working on for 2021?

A. I’ll be adding more training and benefits to the membership for academy members. My plan is to continue growing the R.I.C.H Girl movement and to continue
