Meet Taylor Ponder | Project Manager & Virtual Assistant

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

Hi Taylor, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success, hands down, is my faith! Sometimes, clients, money, happiness and hope are no where to be found

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
DREAM TEAM Virtual Assistance LLC is an organization that provides assistance for businesses and practices, while being fully remote. We assist in several ways that have proven to be beneficial for businesses in all industries. We strive to extend our hand to your business by way of administration, online business management, event planning and coordination and so much more. Services are rendered while leaders focus on content, creativity and the mission of their business. We promote partnership and productivity. Our services are quality and custom to fit the needs of your business. I am VERY proud of DTVA LLC. and all that I have accpumplished in less than 2years of operation. This has not been an easy journey and quite a few lessons (hard and memorable) have been learned along the way. The most valuable lesson thus far has been not to take anything personal – it is all business. The world should know that my business is fully run and operated by faith. God got it started and God surely keeps it prospering!

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.
If I had a special guest visiting the city, we would definitely do brunch first. Atlanta has dynamic brunch spots and some of the best are black-owned. We would have to hit a nice roof-top bar for good views and vibes. During the trip, we definitely visit Stone Mountain Park for a good hike and breath of fresh crisp air. What is a trip without some good night life? I would take them to a good comedy show with a nice dinner and top off the night with a good lounge – where we would drink, laugh and dance all night!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My Shoutout is dedicated to ALL of my loved ones who are with me every step of the entrepreneurial journey.  I would like to acknowledge three influential resources in my journey; My husband for literally being my biggest advocate to pursue my dreams and passion, all while taking care of myself first. Secondly, my business mentor and friend, Kera Dupree. Kera is the founder and owner of Belle Brand Solutions. Kera has invested heavily into my entrepreneurial journey. Her work and mentorship are priceless. Lastly, one of my best friends and advisors in business, Neshaszda Wright of Neshaszda Z. Photography. Neshaszda advises me during some of the most difficult moments as a growing business owner. I truly admire these ladies as mentors and business owners. Lastly, DTVA is non-existent without clients and I appreciate every single relationship. Thank you all!
