Deonjala Williams is the founder of Heart and a Heat Press, an online business educational platform.

With over 12 years of entrepreneurial and retail experience, Deonjala teaches her community how to launch their own profitable t-shirt printing business in 60 days or less.

Deonjala, known more commonly as “Dee”, has had years of corporate employment in retail where she gained significant experience in business, processes and people management. But this didn’t really satisfy her sense of calling, her love of teaching and the drive to build something lasting. Unbeknownst to her boss at the time, she had been planning her exit from the 9-5 for some time when she handed in her resignation letter with great satisfaction.

She went on to found Dee’s Sweet Tees and develop Heart and a Heat Press, changing her and thousands of other people’s lives in the process.

TAKEAWAYS:

+ Deonjala is an expert at diversifying her income, not necessarily by starting a new business, but by going deeper into her zone of genius. So instead of splitting yourself and your energy into learning a new product and/or industry, serve your existing audience in a bigger and better way by offering them more options in your specific area.

+ Deonjala always looks at the 80/20 rule when it comes to diversifying her revenue streams. Her perspective is that 80% of your income will come from 20% of your clients, so how can you take those existing clients and either keep them as clients for longer, or serve them in a more comprehensive way. Digging deep into what’s working and what’s working efficiently is a fantastic way to decide how and what to diversify in your business to increase your revenue streams.

+ Pivoting has been something that Deonjala has had to do this year over and over again, due to the coronavirus pandemic. She even went so far as to splinter off sections of her premium course to respond to what her audience was telling her they wanted and needed to hear from her.
