Hey! I’m Willetta DeYoung
Thanks for stopping by to learn a little bit about me…
My Story
About Me
In 2016 I choose to freedom and to become the boss of my own life. Now I control my dreams, my time, my paycheck and my future.
I was a major risk - as a Gen-Xer a completely digital business was not intuitive for me and I had a lot to learn very quickly. I had to make a decision. No matter what, I was going to crack the code and become a successful modern economy entrepreneur with a digital business.
I was nervous, but quickly found support from my incredible husband, mentors and mastermind groups to help me on the journey of bidding my business.
I built my dreams - on my own terms.
I’ve always been super ambitious with larger than life visions for what is possible. I’ve done some crazy things like:
complete graduate school in 18 months…most folks finish in 3 years.
founded a print company in the emerging digital textile print industry with the 15th Artistry digital textile printer in the USA, the 100th in the world.
And then went on to accomplish even more…..
