Meet: Alisha Y Gaines!

What has been the biggest business lesson for you in 2020?
Follow your gut! I started the Hustle + Motivate Box in the middle of COVID. I was told not to start or sell anything during this time because it was a pandemic and no one was going to buy from me. This person also told me that I should wait until next year or when everything goes back to normal.  My first month I made more than I did with my last business

If you could give any advice to women that are struggling to pivot in business what would that be?
Take a step back and regroup. Ask your audience what they are looking for and how can you help with your products and services.

Also, continue to build your email list. Social Media does not belong to us. Continue to interact with your audience, to again, see how you can adjust your products and services and how you can present them to make it convenient for your audience.  Take their advice into consideration. It may just save your business.  But mostly importantly, don’t stress yourself. Just take it one day at a time. 

Tell us about what your business is offering women entrepreneurs this holiday season:
