Client Testimonial

Celeste Maat, Owner

After starting and running a business for three years, I was slowly becoming burned out, frustrated and almost gave up. After just 3 weeks of working with Makisha in the Sistahbiz Retail Success Program, she helped me revise my vision for Light as a Feather and think BIG regarding what my business could become. She grounded me with real tangible steps including strategic planning for my mission and values, updated logo and professionally done website and honing in on my ideal customers. I would tell anyone interested in Sistahpreneurs coaching that if you are interested in taking your business to the next level, you can absolutely trust Makisha to help you make a quick and savvy turn around for your business.

Jasmin Douglas, Owner

Sistahs! Let me tell YOU honey that Makisha my business coach/ mentor plays nooooo games! She got my entire life together. SNATCHED! ZIPPED! CLASPED!! GRIPPED!! During my one-on-one session this week, she really put me and my procrastination in CHECK! My fears and anxieties were trying to convince me to fall back on certain goals and Makisha was not here for it. We went from a scheduled 1 hour session to 4 hours cranking out my business plan revision, my salon systems, sales funnels, and my salon marketing plan. Several times I quit, several times I cried, several times she told me to call my mom (my regulator) because I was coming unglued. BUT Makisha held me accountable, combated my fears, and is pushing me to the finish line. She definitely believes in me and my vision, even when I become afraid of my own dreams and goals. I appreciate this Goal God of a woman, Makisha soooo much. I thank you?? I’m still kicking and scream over all the homework LOL (ps she does not play about homework either. I messed around and didn’t get some of it done and POW ? it was doubled ?) #determined ??#BoojiBeautyonTheRise #WorkHardPlayLater #sistahpreneurs#BoojiBeauty

Client Testimonial

Kumasi Aaron, Owner

Working with Makisha has given me the clarity and confidence I needed to move my business forward. From our first meeting, I not only felt empowered to turn my entrepreneurial dreams into reality but left with the vision, tools and steps to make it happen. I’ve accomplished far more in my time working with Makisha than I did in the years trying to launch my business on my own. Having Makisha as my coach is one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her experience, honesty and insight are truly invaluable.
