What inspired your start in entrepreneurship?

Honestly, my children were my inspiration to venture out and start my own business in massage therapy I spent a huge majority of time being a stay at home mom because I did not want to miss out on my children's early stages of life; their school events, their accomplishments, etc I always knew that I wanted to be present for every thing my boys did and I knew that working a 9 to 5 could not give me that flexibility I also wanted to be a great role model for my boys to look up to by showing them you can turn your dreams into a reality, no matter what that may be I want to make sure that when I am gone, that I will be able to leave something for all 5 of my boys to pass down for the next generation

What has been your biggest challenge/failure as an entrepreneur? And how do you deal with it?

My biggest challenge as an entrepreneur has definitely been trying to balance running a business, being a parent, a wife, keeping up with the chores, running errands, and doing it all fulltime I think that my biggest failure as an entrepreneur has been neglecting my own wellbeing at times When you are as busy as I am, it can be very difficult to prioritize self-care I do practice self care, but know that I definitely could use more of it The way that I deal with my challenges is simply through prayers and meditation Really As long as I keep a positive mindset no matter the circumstances, I am able to get through anything

How do you balance entrepreneurship and Motherhood without experiencing burnout while pursuing your passion?

Again, prayer and meditation I also find that waking up an hour early before everyone else really helps me to take some time to myself to just be in peace and quiet and sit in my positive thoughts to set my intentions and tone for the entire day Sometimes taking a personal day really helps me to avoid burnout as well

What advice do you have for moms looking to get started In entrepreneurship?

Do it As moms, we already are equipped to multitask and so it is only natural to us to be able to take on such a challenging, yet rewarding responsibility; very similar to motherhood

What does being a Pretty Woman Who Hustles mean to you?

I think that a pretty woman who hustles is an intelligent, ambitious, strong woman who is willing to work hard to reach her goals No matter the circumstances, her mindset stays laser focused, positive, and inspired by a healthy environment that surrounds her with a strong support system and values This is a woman who is not afraid to take on a challenge knowing that she is going to run into some obstacles, but does not let it stop her from her true calling and her passion

What books do you recommend for moms navigating entrepreneurship?

I recommend “Traction” by Dave Sullivan I was introduced to reading this book last year by Candace Holyfield when I joined her Facebook group and became a part of her Spa Boss Tribe I was truly motivated and inspired by reading this book and I think that this is a wonderful start for ladies that are just stepping into their journey of becoming an entrepreneur

It was actually through Candace Holyfield’s Facebook group that I learned about Renew You Body Butter Candace mentioned the brand several times and stood by Kayshaun’s organic skincare products The fact that it was all natural ingredients stood out to me and piqued my interest to further my research into Renew You Body Butters After reading about Kayshaun’s journey and checking out her website, I ordered her products to see if they were as effective as we were being told in the group They absolutely were My son suffered from eczema just like Kayshaun’s son so I loved the similarity with her story I also loved how my skin felt after using her daily routine regimen It was a no-brainer for me to join her Affiliate Program I knew this product was something that I wanted to share with others who were going through some of the same skin conditions I couldn’t wait to put the products in my office suite and tell my clients all about it In March of 2022, I became the 49th Affiliate of Renew You Body Butters and haven’t looked back since The products are now a part of me and my family’s daily/nightly routine I love the simplicity of the products and how the natural ingredients are blended in with just the right amount of healing for our skin I am truly thankful and honored to be a part of Kayshaun Brooks’s brand
