Her Interview
Ten minutes with Shelly
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success is due to my go-getterness, grit, and inspiration. I inspire on social media and LinkedIn where magazines find me. Someone referred my story to a publisher leading to my book. I started with nothing after hitting rock bottom during COVID and hustled with $700.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice is don't stop and just start no matter if you're ready or not. There's never a perfect time. Grant Cardone told me to dream big which inspired me to go greater with my business.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Have some money saved up or a paycheck as backup before starting because it's competitive. Start while working another job and invest in the business. Protect yourself with pepper spray or taser. Consider a business partner.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenges are high competition because the market is saturated and lack of money. I hit rock bottom again with no money for food or rent but I never give up.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Hard work, inspiration, legacy, and safety are most important. I want to leave a legacy of impact and keep the city safe by promoting safety in every post and maintaining vehicles well.
