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

Hi Sherika, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was overwhelming because I had so much I wanted to do. I have had other businesses but never finished it out. So with this one my biggest supporter (My Husband Jerry) was a huge influence to me. No matter what ideas or anything I had he always told me to go for it because it’s in me. I’m not gonna lie it was a rough start, but as I progressed the meaning of being a Entrepreneur came to me. From having to research day and night, finding the right quality, and especially customer service. Once I got my foot in the door, I said to myself I’m not gonna let up. And that’s just what I did. I love owning my own business.

What should our readers know about your business?
What sets me apart from others Hmmmm lol, I always do my research, and I combine my experience I’ve had and my skills like communication for one. In a business like mine you have to know how to communicate with others. This is not a game so you can’t toy around with it. I’m definitely excited about my ReBrand for MoneyTeamOutlet. My older version brand were woman clothing, men clothing and kids. The lesson I learned is never put all your ducks in one row. Because when I first started out I had people all in my ear saying they were gonna support. So with that being said I spent thousands on alot of merchandise and no one bought it at first. So I knew from there I had to step my game up and put my thinking cap on. No it wasn’t easy late nights researching, spending money just to see the quality. Then I realized I wanted to transition into something I know the audience/customers I now have would like. With that being said I know I’m THE Purse Plug lol. Just call me The Bag Lady. MoneyTeamOutlet is now The Purse Plug with Lashes‼️

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, if I had a best friend other than my Hubs I would definitely take them out to Atlanta which isn’t far from Lagrange. Don’t get me wrong Lagrange has eating places and such. But I love to explore and try new things. We would grab a bite to eat at Mary Mac’s Tearoom and then go have a couple drinks at a Fat Tuesday’s. And another thing I love is the casino. So we would definitely go and have a great time.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have to shout-out to My Husband Jerry Allen he has been here every, I mean every step of the way. Thanks baby for being here and always telling me I Got It. And even helping me at my Pop Ups, Going live for me when I’m sick, I appreciate everything you do for me. You always have been my #1 Supporter. Thanks for everything. I love you.
