We had the good fortune of connecting with Senethia Johnson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Senethia, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I have always wanted to be my own boss but didn’t feel confident enough to do so because of outside influences.
I also wanted to wait until my children were older before I decided to step out on faith! It wasn’t easy for me because I came up with every excuse in the book to not do so.
I kept telling myself “I’ll do it next year or when my children graduate or when I’m financially in a good place!!” I was also afraid of losing my health benefits by becoming my own boss. Until one day I decided “What the hell am I waiting for?”
I prayed and sought guidance on whether or not I’m making the right decision.
Next thing I knew, I was putting in my two week notice!❤️ I NEVER LOOKED BACK ‼️
My goal is to set my children up for success by instilling in them that if you want something bad enough…..Go out and get it‼️
My desire is to also become the first person in my family to create generational wealth ‼️
It makes me proud to know that my children look up to me as their example of what it feels like to have your dreams come true and to know that they are capable of doing the same!❤️
What should our readers know about your business?
Wow! Where do I begin ?
My journey to where I am now was certainly not an easy one. Many people will only share the ups of becoming an entrepreneur!
When I first started, I was excited yet scared and nervous, wondering if I made the right decision!
I knew that I did but my mind was telling me otherwise. I knew it was only the fear of “not knowing” that made me feel that way!
I was that person that didn’t like to ask for help because I felt like I could do it myself! BIG MISTAKE ‼️
I later learned that it’s okay to ask for help, it doesn’t make you less of an entrepreneur because you did!
I also learned that the best way to get to where you’re going is to follow someone that has already reached that level that you’re working on achieving!
Throughout my journey I have learned so much about myself….I am capable of doing anything that I set my heart and mind to do!
If I could share anything about my journey, it would be this, I AM MY ONLY COMPETITION‼️🎯
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?
Honestly I am a very creative person so I would definitely recommend stopping by the art studio ( Sip and Paint) and get your creativity on and popping!😂
I am a foodie as well so one of my favorite places to eat is the Juicy Crab or Olive Garden!😋
Would definitely take a walk on the square and get some ice cream from Scoops!
Do a little shopping at the mall!
Definitely checkout the bookstore in Stockbridge!
One of my favorite places to get a good bargain is Five Below!😁
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost I would like to thank my Creator for blessing me with this gift and purpose driven life‼️
I want to thank my two heartbeats for ALWAYS encouraging me to keep going, never give up, pushing me to be my best self regardless of the outcome‼️❤️
Last but not least my family and friends for their love and support throughout my entrepreneurial journey!
You all are greatly appreciated ‼️❤️
