VICTORIA MENIFEE | HER STORY
Victoria Menifee always knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur since she was the age of 5. After graduating from FAMU & University of MD, enjoying spending 8 years in the United States Air Force Victoria was ready to begin her career with Ernst & Young, Inc. while in Atlanta GA she opened her first clothing boutique. While she loved working with a great company like E&Y the fast pace and variety of new clients she met daily, working as a Forensic Accountant, she knew that working as an entrepreneur also was her vision and dream and begin her second business after moving to Orlando, Florida.
​
Then, in 2005 Victoria made the decision that changed her life forever. “It finally dawned on me I should be an entrepreneur and create a legacy that will be here long after I am gone. From the point on Victoria has birth several companies and has gone on to scale a few of them to 7-Figures.
SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRE… TO ENTREPRENEUR ADVISOR
The moment when Victoria realized her risks would really be rewarded was when other women she met inquired about her success. They asked questions like, “How do you market yourself? How do you get clients? How do you use the Internet? How do you keep going when you feel like giving up?”
​
She began to teach all she knew. Victoria’s following gained, and her expertise grew well past online promotion into marketing, business, and success strategies for entrepreneurs. Her offerings expanded into online courses and programs, then live seminars and events, and then into private mentoring and consulting.
​
And while her clients always included both men and women, she decided to devote her venture to help more women business owners take their businesses to scale. “Less than 2% of women-owned businesses break the million-dollar mark,” she explains. “I wanted to help change that. Not only help them surpass that mark, but well beyond. Because that’s where they can really make a huge impact in their industries and beyond.”
