We had the good fortune of connecting with Alenten Wilson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alenten, how has your background shaped the person you are today?
I’m From The North Side Of Wichita , Kansas 14th And Battin Is The Street I Grew Up On From 5yrs Old To A Freshman In High School . Living There So Long I’ve Seen Businesses Come And Go , People Come And Go But Their Was Always A Sense Of Community Within The 13th And Oliver District Everyone In The Area Is Proud To Be There . It Molded Me Into The Person I Am Today Just Seeing People Hustle From The CD Man Outside Of Dollar General To The People Outside Of QT . Growing Up Trying To Find A Way To Fit Into The Money Making Environment Going For To Door Selling Candy Bars For The Wichita Bulldawgs (Bulldogs For The Young Generation) Trying To Up Sell Them Even Though They Clearly Say $1 .

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Running A Business Is Never Easy Especially When You Have No Experience . In Honesty I’m No Different From Anyone Else The Only Thing I Didn’t Do Was Quit . Challenges Arise But I’ve Been Able To Push Through And Over Come . I’ve Learned Plenty Of Lessons Throughout The 4 Years I’ve Been In Business I Feel Like The Most Important Is Consistency And Dedication Is Key . Working On Your Goal Until It’s Accomplished Never Thinking It’s Going To Happen Over Night Or In One Work Session If It Does Great If Not Stay Consistent & Dedicated To Accomplishing That Goal Don’t t Settle For Anything Less Of 100% If You Start Off With Low Expectations Your Full Potential Will Never Be Met .
