How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

Waking up with a grateful heart and positive attitude sets the tone for my days. I have a made a choice to be intentional with who I surround myself with… people who uplift and inspire me to walk in my greatness.

Do you have any new products or services launching this Summer or Fall that we can be excited about?

As a jewelry stylist/ influencer, I am EXCITED about the newest collection coming this summer that is sure to turn heads and spark conversation in the ladies’ room, at brunch or an evening out with the girls. The Alicia A. Williams Brand has a few exciting projects coming late Summer, early Fall.

Stay tuned…

Goal-Crushing this first half of the year is underway.

We are midway into 2023 have you been able to achieve a portion of your goals that you set for you and your business this year? Please tell us more.

Goal-Crushing this first half of the year is underway. In business, as a top network marketer in my industry, I have expanded my team over 1,000 plus across the U.S. Additionally, crushing a top sales goal within the first quarter of the year. Personally, I have acquired/received invitations to serve as a guest and keynote speaker for various corporate and non-corporate groups/organizations. Becoming an 3x Author within less than a year has been simply amazing.

Share with the audience what is next for you as an individual and what is next for your business?

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any special routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

I’m excited for SUMMER! As a woman in business, this is a time of reflection, rejuvenation and lots of much SELF-CARE! Also, when you have worked hard all year, it’s time to play harder! Spending time traveling with family and friends is a priority. My routine for the summer months is to PUT ME ON THE CALENDAR… scheduling all things that bring me peace, love and joy!

As always, how we can stay in contact with you?

Yes, lets connect! Please follow me on the following social platforms: Facebook: Alicia A. Williams/ Alicia Wright Williams Instagram: iam_aliciaawilliams Twitter: @TheAliciaAW Website: TheDazzlingDivaCollection.com AliciaAwilliams.com

I truly believe we are in a NOW season! For me, my next is all about elevation and expansion. Personally, I am addicted to becoming better than the person I was yesterday. I am simply becoming… a true woman of faith, a better leader, a better coach and a better mentor. My next in business is for the Alicia A. Williams Brand to become one of the most sought-after women empowerment speaker/coaches for women of faith and emerging women entrepreneurs. Empowering women of all ages to walk in their greatness.

How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

I believe motivation is intrinsic! My motivation comes from the inspiration I receive from seeing and knowing what’s possible on this journey and industry. It’s not always easy, but when you have clear and concise goals, staying motivated will come along with your push to meet those goals! Keeping things fresh means staying on top of your game and always being a student of your field. I should never feel like there’s nothing more to learn or study.

Do you have any new products or services launching this Summer or Fall that we can be excited about?

Keeping things fresh means staying on top of your game and always being a student...

We are midway into 2023 have you been able to achieve a portion of your goals that you set for you and your business this year? Please tell us more.

2023 has been an exciting year so far! I’ve set many goals for myself along with actionable steps to take to achieve them. So far I’m proud to say I’m staying on track to achieving many of these goals by my desired time. It’s taken a lot of work and discipline, but I’m determined to see them through.

Share with the audience what is next for you as an individual and what is next for your business?

As my own brand, I have so many things I’m looking to accomplish and grow in. The next best thing in store for me as an individual is becoming a bigger and better brand. This excites me so much, and I look forward to more! For my business, my team and I are working very hard to expand our team even stronger and continue to break our sales records month by month.

My company is always launching various monthly promotions that’s exciting for both consultants and our customers! We look forward to the announcements throughout the year. Also, our 2023 Zi Collection will be released this Fall! It’s our luxury line that is always the most anticipated product of the year!

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any special routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

Summer time is a great time of the year for me! Of course the children are home and we get to do what we love to do the most and that’s travel! Not only is family vacation a must, but it’s also the time our company hosts its annual convention. “The Biggest Party Of The Year”, as we call it!

Convention is so exciting because it’s a time to share with others in our company and get an incredible fire lit back that every business owner needs!

As always, how we can stay in contact with you?

How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

We continue to stay on top of our game by partnering with leading organizations and companies on the cusp of risk mitigation, safety and security, as we definitely feel we can accomplish more together in partnership than in opposition.

We continue to speak across the country to educational institutions, the corporate community, and keep our ear to the ground of the latest governmental changes, so we know how to adapt to changing trends.

Whats next as an individual is always to maintain my personal and professional boundaries, so the 2 maintain their respective lanes.

Do you have any new products or services launching this Summer or Fall that we can be excited about?

Yes we are definitely excited about 2 areas in particular. #1, our new partnership agreement with CDC for risk mitigation staffing domestically, to answer the call in medical staffing shortages across the country, and #2 our new arm of educational and office environmental safety training. This new division in safety and security will focus on active shooter training and hardening our structures to protect persons unaware of impending danger.

We are midway into 2023 have you been able to achieve a portion of your goals that you set for you and your business this year? Please tell us more.

Yes, we have made awesome progress into this year so far by adding to our internal team and partnerships to enhance our scaling capabilities. We have added onto our operational teams streamline our Backoffice workflows as well as increased our reach by adding additional partnerships and acquisitions of companies.

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any special routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

Yes, personally in the latter summer months, I delegate my company’s day to day operational duties to take some personal time with family to focus on our bond as a family unit that includes spiritual focus, vacations, date weekends, mommy/daughter getaways, and self care.

Share with the audience what is next for you as an individual and what is next for your business?

As always, how we can stay in contact with you?

I, as well as my company are always connecting on all social platforms, as well as the underrated in person visits – lol !

Whats next as an individual is always to maintain my personal and professional boundaries, so the 2 maintain their respective lanes.

Self care to me means making it clear where the lines are drawn between business and personal and keeping those lines of communication transparent. Next for our business, is to continue to scale our operations into other marketing to increase our visibility into the areas of safety and security around educational and corporate office environments. We plan on educating both those marketing more to make them very aware of their options concerning the current state of our world and how they better protect their environments, staffers, and students.

How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

I feel like I’m naturally motivated but surrounding myself with people who are high achievers also helps tremendously.

Listening to podcasts, networking, reading and working with business coaches is my real flex that helps me stay focused and motivated.

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any special routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

The summer months are exciting for me because I really enjoy vacationing with my family during this time. June and July are my business planning and future goal setting months. During the summer months is also where I really work HEAVILY ON my business in preparation for the upcoming year.

How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

I have always been a DRIVEN individual! Staying motivated comes from my inner being first, my thoughts, prayers and meditation. There are plenty of things that I still want to accomplish so everyday that GOD gives me, allows me to take another step.

Staying updated on trends and being plugged in to resources, trainings, network opportunities, and great books have always helped me to stay in the loop and develop fresh ideas.

Do you have any new products or services launching this Summer or Fall that we can be excited about?

I have always been a DRIVEN individual! Staying motivated comes from my inner being first...

We are midway into 2023 have you been able to achieve a portion of your goals that you set for you and your business this year? Please tell us more.

The first quarter of 2023 has definitely been a very busy one for me. I have been able to accomplish multiple goals but there is still work to be done. April is on the way out and there will be lots of traveling with this second quarter of the year. I always like to evaluate and reflect on where I am currently, look over my goals, check off the ones that I have accomplished and put a strategic action plan in place to meet the others.

Share with the audience what is next for you as an individual and what is next for your business?

As a woman in business, I am always taking classes and earning credits in my real estate career. I think learning and growing is a vital component of business. I have signed up for some virtual courses for the summer.

In addition, I am working on a few platforms to share my journey, and leadership skills to help other business owners. Networking has always been important to me and being able to form and build relationships.

YES! We always have a summer line and fall line that will be released. I love the colors and style trends that vary from the summer to fall. Rebranding myself is also a good look with marketing and making sure I am always a product of my product.

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any special routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

I love the summer because it's more relaxed. My kids will be out of school and able to attend camp. We still have a schedule but it's not as strenuous as the school year. There is always work to be done on my part but I do enjoy the flexibility.

I will be traveling to our annual convention this summer to see what's new and connect with my team members. A little family vacation is always a must and then preparation for the Fall.

How do you continue to stay motivated and keep things fresh in your business?

I do these three things to always stay motivated and keep things fresh in my business: 1) I always make sure to celebrate my successes, even the little ones. It's so important to acknowledge the hard work and progress I've made. It helps keep me motivated and feeling positive about my business.

2) I love trying new things! It's one of the ways I keep things fresh and exciting in my business. Experimenting with new ideas, tools, or approaches has helped me discover new opportunities and grow my business in unexpected ways.

3) Setting achievable goals is key for me. Having a clear vision and breaking it down into smaller, manageable goals helps keep me motivated and focused. Plus, there's nothing more satisfying than crossing a goal off my list!

I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge in the constantly evolving world of taxation.

We are midway into 2023 have you been able to achieve a portion of your goals that you set for you and your business this year? Please tell us more. I’m thrilled to say that I've been able to exceed my goals for myself and my business for the first half of tax season. One of my main goals was to increase revenue and profitability, and I'm proud to say that we've exceeded our set targets so far this year. I've been able to grow my team and bring on some incredibly talented individuals who are helping to take our business to the next level.

Of course, there's a lot of work to be done in the second half of the year, but I'm feeling confident and excited about the progress we've made so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what else we can accomplish in the months ahead!

Share with the audience what is next for you as an individual and what is next for your business?

EAs an IRS Enrolled Agent, I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills and knowledge in the constantly evolving world of taxation. I plan to continue pursuing advanced tax education to stay up-to-date on the latest laws and regulations.

As for my business, we're focused on providing even more value to our clients by offering a wider range of tax services and exploring new markets. We're also investing in new technology and tools to streamline our processes and enhance the overall client experience.

We're focused on growth, innovation, and providing the best possible service to our clients, and I'm confident that our hard work and dedication will continue to pay off in the years ahead!

SOUTHERN CRESCENT WOMEN IN BUSINESS MAGAZINE

Do you have any new products or services launching this Summer or Fall that we can be excited about?

I'm excited to share that I'm currently working on my fifth book, which will provide valuable assistance to those struggling with IRS tax debt. As an IRS Enrolled Agent, I'm passionate about helping people navigate the difficulties of the tax system, and I'm excited to share my expertise through this new resource. In addition, I'm also developing digital and live courses to help travel agents with tax planning. This is an area that I believe is often overlooked in the travel industry, and I'm excited to offer specialized guidance to those in need. I believe that everyone deserves access to reliable, accurate tax information, and I'm committed to providing just that through my book and courses.

Tell us what excites you most about the upcoming Summer months and do you have any spec ial routines and travel that is a must for this time of year?

Summer is one of my favorite seasons of the year, and I'm super excited about it! What I love most about the upcoming summer months is the warm weather, longer days, and all the fun outdoor activities that come with it. From beach trips to barbecues, there's always something to do.During the summertime, I travel to other states to learn more about tax laws, what I call #DestinationEducation. Kind of like summer school but way more fun! I also make sure to take a break and go on a trip for at least 30 days in a row to recharge myself for the second half of tax season. It's like hitting the reset button.

This is why I am eager to work with you as a Health Coach on your journey to rejuvenate your health.

Buying a home can be a big investment, but with the right financing, it can also be a great way to build long-term wealth and security.

3. VA Loans: If you’re a veteran or active-duty service member, you may qualify for a VA loan. These loans are backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs and often have lower interest rates and no down payment requirements.

4. DA Loans: If you’re looking to buy a home in a rural area, a USDA loan might be a good fit. These loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and often have low interest rates and no down payment requirements.

5. Alternative Financing: If none of the traditional options work for you, there are a variety of alternative financing options out there, including private lenders, crowdfunding, and even seller financing. Just be sure to do your research and understand the risks involved with these options.

If you’re in the market for a new home, you’ve probably realized that financing can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many options out there, from traditional mortgages to government-backed loans to alternative financing. So, let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular financing options and find the one that’s right for you!

1. Traditional Mortgages: Let’s start with the most common financing option – the traditional mortgage. With a traditional mortgage, you’ll put down a certain amount of money as a down payment, and then make monthly payments over a set period of time. These loans can have fixed or adjustable interest rates, and the terms can range from 10 to 30 years.

2. FHA Loans: If you’re a first-time home buyer or have a lower credit score, an FHA loan might be a good option for you. These loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and often have lower down payment requirements and more flexible credit score requirements.

SOUTHERN CRESCENT WOMEN IN BUSINESS MAGAZINE

So, which financing option is right for you? Well, that depends on a variety of factors, including your credit score, income, and the type of property you’re looking to buy. It’s important to do your research, shop around, and talk to a qualified lender to find the best option for your unique situation.

One last piece of advice – don’t forget to factor in additional costs like closing costs, property taxes, and insurance when considering your financing options. Buying a home can be a big investment, but with the right financing, it can also be a great way to build long-term wealth and security.

If you have questions about home buying options or are ready to look at homes, contact me today at 770-648-1669.
