Jenice Stallings, Styles By Stallings

My name is Jenice Stallings, I am the co-founder and co-owner of Styles By Stallings Events & Decor and the Creative’s Experience. I have the amazing opportunity to work along side my loving and supportive husband and co-owner, Rodney. With limited knowledge of entrepreneurship, minimal resources and absolutely no inventory, we started our event design business from our dinning room table in 2010. I will be honest, we struggled year after year to navigate through the trials of our new business and we experienced many obstacles. I will never forget the days I would pray and cry because I felt lost and discouraged. At that time, I did not know the proper steps to convert my passion into a profit, the formula to attracting the ideal client, or the knowledge to improve the quality of our services. After many years in business, I finally decided to take a leap of faith and invest in education. I enrolled in an event design course and earned an Accredited Event Designer certificate. Next, we connected with a consultant to help us properly structure our business. Since then, I have enrolled in several other floral design and business classes. I am constantly studying business, events and floral designs so I can continue to attract the ideal client. I consider myself a forever student, I love learning. I made the decision to become what I wished I had in 2010, when we first started our business and all the years when we were fighting to grow. I am a valuable resource, dedicated to encouraging you to create, build, and expand your business. We have had the opportunity to design for celebrities, corporations, and high-end clients. Let us show you how to grow your business. I promise you, once you change your business, you will change your entire life forever.
