The Leadership Spotlight Shines On: Tykeyia Shelton
1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights.
I was born and raised in a small town called Selma, Alabama. I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia. I’m a wife and mom of one handsome little boy. I love to travel and spend time with close family and friends.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I started this journey to success with no experience and little support. I am a true believer of taking the first step and allowing God to handle the rest. It’s not in the land, it’s in the man.
I’ve grown so much since joining this company. All I knew was work and school. I’ve never been taught financial literacy or how to accumulate wealth. Through this industry, I’ve built my confidence, a network with others, long lasting relationships, and knowledge on how to accumulate generational wealth.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Poverty drives me. Struggle drives me. Lack drives me. When I wake up and check my bank account, it motivates me. Abundance is my birthright and who said I couldn’t have it all?
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
I honestly don’t have a role model.
5. The three words that describe me best are:
Confidence, motivated and determined.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Never give up on your dreams, stand out from the crowd, be authentic, continue to reinvent yourself, invest in knowledge, perfect your skills, and always love yourself.
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now, I’ll be living in my dream home, driving my dream car, taking good care of my family, and helping others get over the poverty line to live their dreams.
