Today we’d like to introduce you to Jalisa Buck.
Hi Jalisa, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I always had a passion to be my own boss since a child, but that wasn’t my immediate journey as an adult. Straight out of high school, I joined the US Army and worked in health administration for 8+ years. I knew I needed to chase “MY” dreams, and I wanted the freedom to reach more people and have an impact on others. I started my entrepreneurship journey in 2018 with an online fashion boutique, although it wasn’t as successful as I’d imagined, it taught me so many lessons about business and also helped me gain true insight to what I wanted to do.
As a new business owner, I was responsible for almost all aspects of my business, including marketing and branding. This venture really made me fall in love with designing, creating websites, logos, and other graphics. I began to be more excited about changing my website designs and graphic posts more than I was excited about getting new inventory. During this time, I was working a 9-5 job, but the business wasn’t as profitable as I wanted, so I gave it up unfortunately. I really love to help people solve problems and keep them informed, prepared, and satisfied. I started to get really bored with my job in the healthcare industry and decided to take a try at real estate in 2019. Initially, I got my license in North Carolina to learn more about the market, the business and eventually start investing in real estate, but I ended up selling ten homes in my first year. As soon as I started to gain some traction in the business, I experienced a tragedy in my family. My grandmother suffered a stroke, and being the only family member that could move closer to help care for her, I had to pick up and move to Florida, almost at the drop of a dime. I left my real estate business behind, the relationships that I had built, and headed to FL with hopes of continuing my real estate career. Things didn’t go as planned, but I then decided to take my branding and marketing seriously, which was my true passion, and this is where One Woman Brand Co. was birthed! One Woman Brand is my brand design agency that offers our clients web design, brand consulting and development, graphic design services, and other branding services.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I have had to deal with a loss of friends, very close friends of 10+ years, grandmother had a stroke, two failed business ventures, had to move 10 hours away to start over from scratch.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
