We had the good fortune of connecting with Alise B and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alise, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was literally the fact that I knew a 9-5 was not what ultimately makes me happy. I am all about doing things that make you happy. Being married with 2 girls, I now know what life is all about. I like to spend as much time as possible with my family exploring life and using my creativity while helping people along the way. Being an Entrepreneur gives me the flexibility of doing things on my own time at my own pace.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I actually own 2 going on 3 businesses. What sets me apart from others is the fact that I stay in my own lane. I do what makes me happy and use my talent to create. I am most proud and excited about finally taking the leap of running my businesses full time, quitting my 9-5. I feel liberated to know that I have the courage to follow my dreams. Business wise, it took a lot of learning and growing to get to where I am today. Not being afraid to try things have helped me propel. It was not always easy but well worth it. I want the world to know that I am building an EMPIRE. I am going after everything I want in life and allowing myself to let my creativity run wild while helping others along the way. Every single one of my businesses are made to help others shine! Canvas Bling – I make customized items such as party favors, T-Shirts, custom treats, baby items and more. I also recently launched my branding services to help other business owners with finding or revamping their branding Identity. Her Empire – My sister and I help other women Entrepreneurs. Our group consist of Women in business from all around the world, coming together to help uplift one another. We have a lot in store. Exavier Financial – Before I quit my 9-5, I had a career in banking for 10 years. I loved my job and being able to help others financially succeed. However, I wanted to reach out more to my people from the communities who need to be empowered with financial literacy early on. I decided that it was time to make a difference. I am launching my Financial Consulting Firm soon! I am super excited.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I’d like to shout out my number 1 supporter, my Husband Rod. He literally is my right hand when it comes to running my business. I’d like to shout out my sister, Shelby, she let’s me talk all day about every single one of my millions of ideas lol. I’d also like to thank my customers. They keep me going. Even when I don’t have the time to promote my businesses, my customers keep me afloat. Lastly, I’d like to thank God and the Universe for continuing to pour blessings onto my family and I, Law of Attraction.
