What is your favorite quote and why?
Great question! I
have a few, but the one that speaks to and for me right now would have to
be:
"Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must
do."- Bruce Lee
What led you into this avenue of business?

I have always loved
music and as a teenager in the 90's if you had a car you wanted the music to be
loud. Even
as a teen I have always had the
mentality that work has to be about more than just a paycheck. I decided to get
a job at the largest electronics store around at the time (Circuit City) so
that 1.I could buy my first car at 18 and 2.To make sure my trunk sounded
amazing! I knew there would be more in store for me if I stuck with an industry
that I was passionate about and girls weren't as interested in.
It didn't hurt that
my high school sweetheart knew how to install electronics; so I assisted him in
getting a job at the same store where I was employed. We both worked for 6
years, in management. And once we married a few years later, we founded our own
company. We celebrated 15 years in business recently.
So your husband is your business partner?
Yes he is. We have two businesses together and I have two that I own as a sole proprietor.
So you own two other businesses as well? You are a busy woman
honey.
Yes ma'am! Mr.
50's Customs is a window tint and customization business that I purchased
early this year from an older Italian gentleman who has been in business in my
area for thirty-one years. It complements my original business very well because we do
some of the same things. I also obtained all of his clientele and dealerships that he
was able to acquire over his thirty-one years. I also have a company called Installs2U where I have 6 technicians
that work on the road on semi trucks installing different aftermarket equipment.
It is hard separating
business from home life?
Separating business
from our everyday life is one of THE most difficult parts of being business
partners. The work ALWAYS comes home with us, which can be a strain if you're
not a strong couple. Aside from the stress of bringing work home, I would not
change anything because my business partner is my best friend and I know that I
can trust him.
Honey Hush I am over here all in love with the story. Ha-ha
Lol.... Thank you
What is a fun fact about Celeste?
I think I'm a
pretty dope adult however the only fun fact I can think of is winning a local
beauty pageant at 3 years old! Ha-ha
