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

Hi Tiffani, looking back, what do you think was the most difficult decision you’ve had to make?
The most difficult decision I’ve ever had to make was whether I should start a business during a PANDEMIC!

How long will this pandemic last? Will my business be successful? What if it fails? Should I just wait until this pass?

Those were some of the questions that I asked myself before making the decision to launch my business in spite of the circumstances. I can truly say that I am glad I did!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Tip Toe Shoetique is an online “Shoetique”, selling the latest and trendiest items at an affordable price! We carry a variety of shoes, handbags, and accessories.

Our CEO passion and love for shoes, since a child is what birthed this business into existence. She takes her time and hand picks every select item for QUALITY and style with customers in mind. Our customers are always our first priority, customer service is at the top of our list, as we know they are a valuable asset to our company.

Starting in anything is never easy! So, of course starting a business will be no different, however just START! Never wait for the RIGHT time (there will never be one), don’t wait on support (It will come), don’t doubt yourself (YOU can do it!) My proudest moment is overcoming the fear and starting my business! If I would’ve never started, I wouldn’t know how it would’ve ended.

Trial and error, it’s okay to make mistakes, this is how you will learn. Always, do what is best for you and your business. Keep your eye on the prize! Set goals and crush them!

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.
First thing first, we are most definitely getting us some self-care/ pampering time in lol So we will have a spa day where we receive facials, massages, pedis and waxing services.

Retail therapy of course, malls and outlets are a must along with Home Goods, Ikea and others because we love our homes to look and feel just as good as us!

Food, food and more food! Definitely doing some dining and making sure to hit the best seafood and soul food spots.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I most definitely have to shoutout GOD! I know that without him none of this would be possible. It started as a dream of mine as a little girl and manifested into a reality by his grace and mercy!

As far as me just acknowledging one person or even a few people, would be selfish. I have so many people that believe in me, encourage and motivate me in becoming my best self!! I am truly blessed when it comes to having a “Support system!”

Let’s not forget my customers, they play a major part in my story. If it wasn.t for them and their support, we wouldn’t still be here. So. a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me in any way! You are truly appreciated.
