Today we’d like to introduce you to DeShaun Williams.
Hi DeShaun, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my business “Start Your Spark” in 2019, after running a successful podcast, and overcoming a suicide attempt. In September 2018, I had what I would call a horrible fixed mindset because I didn’t believe that I could ever overcome anything my way, this would lead me down a dark path of trying to juggle and maintain a “healthy” life. I was working 68+ hours a week, trying to go to college, being engaged, and maintaining a social life, which was draining me, and everything fell apart, the engagement got called off, I dropped out of college, and I became a recluse to the world. This led to the attempted suicide, which would land me in the hospital as a patient, being diagnosed with extreme depression, and told what I would & would not be able to do in life, hearing that would actually fuel a spark within me that I could go out, change my mindset, my life, and embrace the good, the bad, and the ugly, allowing me to change lives, and mindsets through my voice and coaching strategizing.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road at all from attempting suicide to losing relationships, and friendships, and seeing those close to you turn their back on you because you no longer “fit in.” I have been told that my business, and goals would never succeed and that I need to go ahead and give up on them while I’m ahead.
We’ve been impressed with Start Your Spark, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Start Your Spark helps you overcome the challenges, barriers, blocks, and obstacles that have told you that you that you will never achieve your goals, ran in South Carolina, we help anyone interested that is ready to go from fixed mindset to growth mindset. I am the mindset strategist and CEO at the company, meaning I run the day-to-day operations, but I’m also ready to help anyone who reaches out, and I help you assess your mindset, and what has led to it. Construct a strategy to overcome the fixed mindset, while also coaching & teaching on resiliency and the importance. What sets me apart from others is the overcomer story behind who I am, and why I started, and that I am very inexpensive on my services.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
The quality and characteristics most important to my success is loyalty to who I am, and to potential clients, honesty about what I will help with, and being honest about possibly not being able to help someone, but knowing someone who can, and finally determination, knowing that no matter what happens, there’s always a brighter side.
