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

Hi Crystal, how do you think about risk?
When I think about risk I think about faith. You have to trust the process of what you cannot see with an expectation of great manifestation. Taking risks has cause me to make moves in life and in career that landed me in untapped and unfamiliar places of great experience and success.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am the CEO and Founder of Coujae Beauty Boutique and the CEO and Founder of CP Taxes and Financial Enterprise. What set me apart from others is that I am consistently blazing trails and giving the blueprint for others to build. I have always desired to be an entrepreneur and so I postured myself to listen and learn from those who were in the same industry. The challenge was leaving my teaching career of 23 years. My feet eventually caught up to my faith after 2 years. The lessons I’ve learned along the way is to stay consistent and trust the process. I want the world to know that you are looking at an Overcomer of teenage pregnancy, many failures, and wo time breast cancer survivor, If I made it through all of this so can you.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would have to say Chicago..The Navy Pier!! The Great Lakes Blue Water is mesmerizing. It reminds me of the Florida Beaches. We will definitely start the.days there with lunch on the pier enjoying the relaxation of the water. We will tour the city while sitting on the second level of the tour bus. Eat Chicago Style Pizza like it is going out of style. Eat Chicago Hotdogs, Lots of shopping and eating lots of Garrett Popcorn. We will tour the Willis Tower. In my view the fun interesting exciting people are people are people who have conquered inner freedom..The places.and things to check out is Dubai and other unfamiliar places and countries. Live outside of the box.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My mother Arlena Pugh❤ She always keep me grounded in the faith. She never compromises her beliefs to suit what I feel. She always has a way of steering me back to the truth. She is 87 years old and still pushed me to achieve my purpose and fulfill my destiny
