To me wealth is living free, having peace and allowing my money to work for me instead of me working for money.

"My goal is to be like Bronner Brothers but in the spa industry"

Tell us who is Candace Holyfied-Parker? How would you describe yourself? How did you become the Six Figure Spa Chick Brand? Wow, that's an amazing question. Candace Holyfield is an advocate for entrepreneurs to truly understand business and win while pursuing your passion. I would describe myself as funny, loving and passionate. I became the six figure spa chick via earning over $300k from Groupon within my spa. You are changing the game of the spa industry. Why do you have such a passion to assist fellow women entrepreneurs in this particular industry? The number of spa owners has actually increased in the last 7 years. Esthetics and med spa plus body contouring is a really big deal right now. To take the industry to the next level we need more great leadership. What do you hope to ultimately achieve with your Spa Boss Tribe brand? My goal is to be like Bronner Brothers but in the spa industry. I only have 16 spa millionaires at this current moment but I know if I keep going I can help a lot more. I want spa owners to get paid what they deserve and be truly free as entrepreneurs.

This is an over $45 billion dollar industry according to the statistics, are minority women well-represented in this space? What do you think needs to happen to increase even more minority women in the spa industry? The number of spa owners has actually increased in the last 7 years. Esthetics and med spa plus body contouring is a really big deal right now. To take the industry to the next level we need more great leadership. This industry is projected at a 12% increase or more yearly- why is this industry growing so rapidly? Is the public now focused more on self-care? What reasons do you attribute to reasons more people are seeking selfcare? This industry is rapidly growing because of entrepreneurship. Years ago it wasn’t as big but now it’s the new normal. Cosmetic surgery, skin care, and self care is now very much promoted. Let's switch a little-- it looks as if you are also in the trucking and logistics space, tell us about that. My husband has driven trucks for over 10 years for other people. He finally decided to become an entrepreneur and the rest is history.

This is the wealth and money issue, what do those things mean to you? Wealth and money are tools. To me wealth is living free, having peace and allowing my money to work for me instead of me working for money. I no longer work for money. I work for results. I understand that you have a daughter, what do you want your daughter to learn from watching you as an entrepreneur and making impact? Money is a this magic paper that makes the world go around. It’s a great resource to have in your tool box. What is next for your empire? I have two daughters. My oldest is 21 and youngest only 9 years old. All three of my children are already entrepreneurs. I try my best to instill in them core values such as being honest and having integrity. If they decide to attend college I will support 100% and if they decide to be 100% entrepreneurs I will support. I just want them to be good ethical human beings. How do people connect with you? Everyone can connect with me on any platform under Six Figure Spa Chick.
