My Story
I’m Stacey, and I am a wife, mother, sister, daughter, business owner, and member of corporate America. If you’re reading my story, then I’m sure you noticed that I am also a Paparazzi consultant. I became a consultant in 2019 to diversify my retirement, and it was the best decision I EVER made! Little did I know, Paparazzi was not only going to change my life but change my family’s life as well. I’ve worked in corporate America for over 30 years, and I was looking for an outlet from my 9-5. Paparazzi did just that; I now have an outlet to express myself with my accessories, have fun, SHOP, play on my sense of style, and, most of all, put smiles on my clients’ faces.
Many people ask me how I got started with Paparazzi, and while I wish it were some super fancy sales pitch, my husband was having a conversation with our neighbor. She is an elite consultant. One Saturday afternoon, I went to talk with her about the opportunity and immediately realized Paparazzi would not only diversify my retirement and provide an outlet; I could make money having fun and shopping. So, I said, sign me up. After getting signed up, I hit the ground running, and I began putting my launch party together, inviting all my friends and family to join me for fun and see my new and exciting business. The party was fantastic and went over without a hitch. I sold over 100 pieces of jewelry that day, and I was hooked.
I signed the first member of Team Regal Elegance two days after my launch party. I was so excited to have someone believe in me enough to go on this adventure with me. She and her husband had dropped by that evening for her to shop since she missed the launch party. I began to talk about the business, and she and her husband both mentioned they were looking for a business for her. Hence, Team Regal Elegance was born. I am so excited to be the leader of Team Regal, and I strive to become better each day.
While my life has changed in many ways since I started Paparazzi, from losing my sister, who was also my best friend and confidant on July 3, 2020, to transitioning from empty nesters and now raising my beautiful niece and nephew, I can stand firm in saying Paparazzi has not only helped us hold it together but become a family affair. As I prepare for my next chapter with Paparazzi, I can’t begin to think about what I would do without this business. I thank God for my Paparazzi business because it has given me the confidence that no matter what, we will be able to take care of them without them missing a beat. I have run countless races over my lifetime; when the race got hard, my mantra was “Keep Moving Forward.” Which is how I run my Regal Elegance Boutique business, no matter what happens, “Keep Moving Forward.”
