Meet Dontaye “Martice” Stewart | Master Barber

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dontaye “Martice” Stewart and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dontaye “Martice”, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thoughts process behind starting my own business is, I would enjoy owning and operating my own business because it allows me to be independent, as well as to be responsible for something established & owned by me. For myself and my family.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a Master Barber, owner of King’z BBQ catering business, in addition to being a(Dog & Horse) Breeder.

What sets me apart from most is my mindset, drive and determination, most give up when they fail. If I fail, I haven’t lost.. I work harder to find a better way to succeed.

I’m excited and proud that I’m creating a legacy with my businesses that I’m able to pass onto my son & daughter which they will enjoy as much as I do..

I’m where I am now by ‘trusting the process”… & aligning myself with like minded people that enlighten me & give me honest and valuable feedback on what I could do different or better to succeed.

Being an Entrepreneur is not easy, anyone that says it is, it’s a lie. It takes hard work, persistence and dedication. You have to realize you’ll lose a lot to appreciate the end result….

In my years of experience I’ve learned it’s not a race but a marathon that’s made up of many Victory laps. You have to put your all into it in order to receive the results you aspire for.

I work hard striving to be a GREAT entrepreneur. I have a great circle of people I surround myself with that help keep me from bumping my head, when you weed out the bad apples everything comes together. I feel every entrepreneur has a “Hustla” mentality… you want it you’ll find a way to get it. This struggle isn’t for the weak!!
