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

Hi Michelle, how has your perspective on work-life balance evolved over time?
First, I started my business after my mother’s and brothers death, after working in the banking industry for ten years. My first business was a entertainment company managing and promoting independent artists in the music field. Years later I decided to switch up gears and starting my acting career. Acting assisted me on so many levels especially masking the grief of my mother and brother death. I have starred in several stageplays as the leading role, short films & produced award winning documentaries. Im featured in the movie “MEN PRAY 2”, which streams on tubi. December 2024, I co-starred in the movie “Unbelievable Revenge” written produced & directed by Sista JayJay. I love to tell people just imbd/ Michelle Lovett.

In 2019 I started a real book movement Life Love and Lockup all four volumes are known as bestsellers. Through the years I’ve struggled with work balance due to sickness and being my father caregiver. Two years ago, I was injured in a car accident. It didn’t completely stop me from handling business. I actually started working on my new lip and cosmetic line from my bed. My left foot was broken in 4 spaces. I started drinking Noni Juice and sharing my healing experiences with the world. I created an online business selling and testing out my Lip Service glosses and Partner Co products.
I’m a true entrepreneur with a real imagination. GOD always provides me with the new wave. I’m working on my new book, my new products and more. I never stopped working my businesses, throughout all my challenges. However, trying to balance it all has been an uphill journey. I’m so glad GOD has placed some real loyal people in my life. Trying to find good employees these days is truly tough. One thing I’m certain of is; my relationship with GOD, prayer life & my faith. Having each has taken me through it all. Taking care of my father has been a true blessing and have structured me in other areas of my life.

What should our readers know about your business?
What truly sets me apart from others is i truly want to see others win. I’m not afraid to take action alone. My journey has not been easy however I’m still standing. I’ve learned along the way and tried to share with others the importance of TEAMUP TAG AND GET THE BAG. Learning this concept has walked me and my team into doors unimaginable (Superbowl, BET Celebrations, Hosting MLK Parade, Becoming Bestselling Author 4x, PreSelling over 1000 copies before 28days and more. I’m extremely grateful to Dr. Frances Bailey for presenting me with a LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD (Under President Biden, December 2024). Receiving that accolade added to my Proclamation and Key To The City (Mayor Otis Wallace, Florida City). I’m truly thankful for being honored and recognized by so many businesses and organizations worldwide, globally and even internationally.

We all have something great within us waiting to be birth. We must identify quickly with the ones that truly want to see you win, always keep God first and work our moves. Now that “Generals Bosses & Bossettas” and “Meme All Over” have been trademarked by the office and lawyer “Rosezena Pierce/TheBizlawyer”, I certain both companies will be scaling upwards in many directions. It’s take off time. We are looking for different sponsorships for our annual awards gala. As well we are looking to collaborate and make magic with other businesses. We have proven for years we will honor those that are truly putting in real work. Our gala creates a room and safe space for some to recognize, meet or greet different entrepreneurs, leaders, actors, directors, businesses, influencers, etc. across the globe. People come from everywhere. We have earned the respect of noticing and honoring those that really put in the work. Nominees have to submit a resume that lines up with their credentials. Experts in each category, along with other factors chooses the winner not votes.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
