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

Hi Deberah, what do you attribute your success to?
The success behind my business, are the referrals, such as family, friends, businesses and social media. They believe in me and trust me.

That means more to me than anything. By obtaining the tremendous referrals, I am able to build a relationship with all of my clients.

I am able to gain their trust, and I am so excited that they want to build financial freedom towards their future.

This is such a rewarding and exciting experience to be able to coach and walk them toward their financial freedom.

What should our readers know about your business?
A Fresh Start, LLC was formed from me loosing my job at a Mortgage company, 15 years ago. I was told that I was to honest and corporate, so they let me go. After that devation loss, I wanted to do something to help people.
The name A Fresh Start was created because, I was termminated and I need a new start in life, and now it has been 15 years.

Was it easy? No it wasn’t but I was able to reach one Mortgage Company that believe in me and gave me a chance and that was The Bradford Group, here in Atlanta.

I had to read up on a lot of materials regarding budgeting, credit, how to remove items, bankruptcy, foreclosure, etc. I was really to learn because I had to standout from the rest of the credit companies.

How do I stand out from the rest: I coach and educate my clients, and let them know that I care and they are not going to be at their position always, they will get to the top and more.

How I overcame the challenges, it was not easy, I had a Mentor, Corey Moore and he taught me that if a person cannot pay you for your worth, than they are not ready to rebuild or restore your credit. When one client tell you no, at least you can respect their reply and move on until the next one tells you yes, and the rest is history.

I would like the world to know, that I am nationwide and I assist customers all over the world. I also want them to know that A Fresh Start, LLC name is exactly what it means, we do not judge, we coach and we make sure they are starting fresh and they will be alright.

 

 

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 take my best friend to a nice Vegan spot, like Slutty Vegan, or a Mexican Restaurant (No Mas Catina) and visit The Juke Joint for music and nice soul food.

I would take them sightseeing to see some of Georgia beautiful Falls, and maybe Pine Mountain Georgia..

My husband is a Buffalo Soldier and we ride and explore the sites of Georgia.
