We had the good fortune of connecting with Shavon Saint Preux Bsc. Msc. and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shavon, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Hi my name is Shavon, I am the owner of 3 Brands Enchanting Beauty, Enchanting Intimates and Shay’s Success Plan! I started my first business Enchanting Extensions back in 2015 but after completing a masters degree in Marketing from Florida International University in 2020 I decided to rebrand and relaunch in 2021 to offer new products, expand my target market, and cater to more consumers! So I went from Enchanting Extensions to Enchanting Beauty. That one rebrand and relaunch ended up turning into me wanting to have 3 different brands because having one business is just too basic lol. My passion for entrepreneurship sparked as a little girl when I stood side by side with my mother as she walked the streets of Bahamas selling anything she could get her hands on to take care me and my 4 siblings when my father passed and to get us to the United States fir a better life. Once we made it to the USA in 2001 My mother passed away shortly after and growing up poor and facing trials and tribulations I’ll still never forget the values she instilled in me. To keep God first, work hard & be kind. I knew since I was a little girl that I wanted to be my own boss and work for myself.

What should our readers know about your business?
I love to label myself as a lifelong learner. I enjoy learning new things I have never known. I understand the fact that the thing that separates me from an average billionaire is the fact that they have acquired a specific knowledge that I haven’t. With that being said when I first launched my business back in 2015. I winged everything. I had no idea about things like profit and loss, marketing, building a brand and none of that. So I stopped my business and went to school so I could learn and I think it was one of the mist important things about what separates me from others. The things I learned in my studies helped me tremendously in building my brands.

I am most excited about the watching my business grow. In my professional career I am a care coordinator for youth who have faced foster care and homelessness since I too spent some time in foster care. I am excited to let youth who were once in my shoes that foster youth can build businesses and become successful too.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to stay patient, Rome wasn’t built over night true success that last and withstands takes time and is perfected overtime.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would definitely go on a restaurant tour throughout Miami and visit all the restaurants we have never been to. Couple years ago I would have been dragging them to a club but these days I’m more about fine dining and fine experiences.

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?
So many people played a pivotal role into the woman I am today. First and foremost God who has never left my side, My son Shamir, My sisters Agnes & Rolande, My brother Wilmar, My bestfriend Nadalia, My mentor DD, My God mother Shavon, my Job and a host of other friends & family!
