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

Hi Tia, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor for success is overcoming the doubt I had when I first started. I had a lot of support when I first started out, but when people around me saw that this was more then a hobby they fell off. I started to think maybe I should quit maybe i was in over my head. I closed my business for two months Rebranded and used that doubt and fear to keep myself going. We have hit some bumps along the way but I’ve meet some really great people along the way. I plan on becoming bigger and continue overcoming the doubt and lack of support.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’ve always been creative but I’m very antisocial at times especially when I have to talk about my brand and business. But I just turned something I love into something I can share with everyone else. Starting this business has gotten me out of my shell and I’m so thankful for all the lessons I learned along the way. This journey wasn’t easy at all. I had to learn to manage my time being a mother of 5 and a small business owner at the same time is a circus. I had to sacrifice some of my time so that they still see me and know that what I’m doing is to better their future.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to dedicate this shoutout to my husband Anthony Jones and my sister LaTishia Raggs because without them I would have quit shortly after I started. They push me to keep going and keep me motivated.
