Who Is Wanda Childs?
Business Owner, Mentor, Author & Motivational Speaker
Wanda Childs became a successful entrepreneur after being fired from her 9 to 5 (kicked out of the offices of corporate America), where she worked for 21 years before being wrongfully terminated. Wanda left that job with her unemployment benefits denied and she was not offered a severance package. However, some say she was "pushed into her purpose".
Becoming an entrepreneur was (unknowingly) naturally for Wanda who comes from a family of successful entrepreneurs. Before being fired Ms. Childs started her own custom printing company in 1995 called "Printing Express & Designs, LLC", specializing in custom printed souvenir items, imprinted with YOUR Logo to help you promote and market your business or events.
Soon after starting the custom printing company, Wanda also started a second company in 1996 called Blessed 24:7 Gifts (at the time) it was only Online and 14 years later Wanda opened her 1st physical (brick & mortar) retail store. Inside the Blessed 24:7 Gift Shop, Wanda sold her own brand of Gift Merchandise with her Trademark logo Blessed 24:7®.
The retail gift shop (the physical building) existed for 13 years, recently Wanda heard GOD say, focus on selling Blessed 24:7 merchandise soley ON-LINE. WIth no hesitiation, Wanda returned the store keys to the landover and has been truly blessed (best decision ever). Wanda moved all merchandise onl-ine, where she had been selling for 27 years (online since 1996). Most people did not know Wanda holds the exclusive United States Trademark Rights to the entire brand of Blessed 24:7 merchandise across the Country.
The logo serves as a daily reminder for all, that we are truly blessed by God 24hrs a day, 7 days a week! Blessed 24:7 originated as Wanda's "personal", inspirational reminder of just how good God has been, even during some of life's most difficult circumstances (the storms in our lives). God’s not through with her yet, Wanda also started a Mentoring Program in 2005, through the efforts of her non-profit organization 501(c)3, Wanda teaches seminars on "How To Start Your Business From Ground Zero™ and another seminar on “How To Write Your First Book”.
Wanda (the author & motivational speaker) wrote her first book titled "Pushed Into My Purpose" which is an extraordinary and heartfelt testimony on how God blessed her in the middle of all her storms and moved her from a place of fear to a place of victory; it’s a spiritual journey to success, God's way. Wanda believes we are not walking in our purpose and we miss our blessings because of fear and lack of faith. The book will inspire you to walk into your God given purpose, leaving all fear behind and trusting in the promise of God.
