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

Hi Precious, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
I think one of the most important things that I’ve done as a parent is that I set the tone that quitting is never an option for my children. I was a mom at the age of 15 and faced so many obstacles along the way, but I never quit! I may have failed at some things but I learned from them and kept pushing forward. My kids are my witness to this and they understand that you are in total control of your own destiny. There’s absolutely no excuse for you not to be GREAT.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
1 on 1 Financial is a Tax preparation and Credit Repair Company. I seem to think I’m widely known for my success in credit repair. When I created 1 on 1 Financial, I had a vision for my company. I wanted everyone to leave feeling as if they had received quality 1 on 1 services. I wanted to make sure my clients left feeling like they learned something from me! I’m really big on education and I think this is what sets me apart from others. I’m not here just to make a dollar. I want to make sure that you have a good understanding on the importance of credit and your finances. I grew up in a low income neighborhood, my mom didn’t know much about credit and it wasn’t taught in school. I want my clients to use the knowledge that I give them and pass that info down to their children! The black culture has been so behind when it comes to credit and tax breaks, so it’s important that we learn as much as possible while we still can.

I launched my company in December of 2020 and didn’t add credit repair services until June 2021. I was so overwhelmed with happiness by the amount of support that I had received from strangers and Fb friends! I had no clue that so many people would put their trust in me and give me chance! Initially I had thought it would be difficult to gain clients but GOD said nope!! I have faith in you and they do too!!

My lesson that I’ve learned is to never underestimate the power of GOD! NEVER give up! Even when doors are being shut, keep knocking!!

The world should know that I’m here and I’m kicking down doors!!!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m a real home body….but on Friday’s there’s only one place I’m at and that’s at For da Kulture Karaoke Fridays located in Fort Worth, Texas!!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
There is absolutely no way that I would be where I am today without my family! My mom and dad never stopped believing in me. Even with disappointment from a teen pregnancy they always encouraged me to go harder than anyone else! My mom let me know that my road ahead might be a bit bumpier than most teens at my age during that time, but I could still dream BIG and she would be right there with me every step of the way!

My husband, kids, best friend, and my sisters have all been on this journey with me! They offer suggestions, listen to my ranting, offer words of encouragement when I have my days of feeling defeated. I need them!! All of them!! I’m forever grateful for the role that they have played in my success.
