Today we’d like to introduce you to Shannon Adams.
Hi Shannon, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Hello Everyone! I am from Augusta, 32, and have one son who’s 9. My journey began back in 2019 just making lip gloss, then I started selling other accessories like purses, lashes, etc. I also began making charmed bangles, bracelets, and necklaces. I just wanted to do something that I enjoy doing and become better and better as I go along with it. I believe it has been a perfect fit for me!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has been smooth but then again, I have my days. I become discouraged and feel like I have to be popular to get sales and also I struggle with motivation and confidence sometimes because I feel like I am not creative enough.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I love making lip gloss and charmed jewelry. I also enjoy selling purses, lashes, keychains, and shades/glasses. It is definitely fun because I get to meet new people, have returning customers, and it feels good to know that my business is noticed! Once I really get into it I plan on being more creative, adding more to what I sell, and just keep GOD first of course. If it is something that will blow up one day, I will be even more proud of myself. I think me just being humble sets me apart from others. I am not in competition and I go with my flow.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
I haven’t worked with a mentor or networked as much but I wouldn’t mind having a mentor! That’s something I have been thinking about heavily! I feel like if you want to network, then make sure it is with the right person/people. When it comes to a mentor, make sure that individual is the right one for you!
