Today we’d like to introduce you to Cliff & Shanequa Stafford .
Cliff & Shanequa , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
We launched our business in the peak of the pandemic on March 06,2020. After overcoming years of experiencing financial hardship, we were determined to see our lives shift and wanted to share our knowledge with the world.
We were married at the ages of 29 & 27 (06/15/2013), while working as temporary employees at GE Healthcare. Since then, we have launched several businesses and transitioned completely from the 9-5 structure. Our union is a true testament of God’s faithfulness and has built a great degree of resilience, faith and perseverance in the midst of all adversity.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Our road has not necessarily been smooth, however it has surely been rewarding.
We have experienced struggles of sickness, financial strain, job loss, loss of loved ones, lack of clarity in business, identity reshaping and so much more. Nonetheless, we give God all the glory for choosing us as vessels to endure the fiery trials of life, while building strong character in us as well as our bond.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Count the Cost is committed to serve all persons with the heart of teacher, while establishing hope in order to shift lives into success.
We have a strong passion to see persons discover their potential, activate their purpose, increase their profit, and promote their legacy.
We specialize in business consulting, business funding, corporate training, digital products, and personal development.
We are known for our ability to train persons as the basic level of financial literacy through education and establishing a personalized gameplan to pay off debt and improve their credit profile.
Our genuine concern and united presence as a married kingdom couple tends to set us apart in the financial industry. God has graced us with the ability to merge kingdom practices with societal practices in an applicable manner.
We are honored and very proud of our recent achievement of 15,000 downloads of our “Kingdom Blueprint Podcast”.
The core of their business is rooted in the scripture verse Luke 14:28. Their desire is to merge Kingdom principles with the marketplace and change the trajectory of the hopeless to the hopeful and the penniless to the plentiful.
The readers can feel free to reach out to us for any assistance with personal/business finances, business funding, business consulting or personal development.
The crisis has affected us all in different ways. How has it affected you and any important lessons or epiphanies you can share with us?
Yes, establish multiple streams of income. The question is not whether times will change but it’s a matter of when will times change.
As of this interview, it is estimated that approximately 257,254 persons have been laid off in the first quarter of 2024.
I encourage everyone to start a side hustle or properly plan to merge into your business on a full-time basis.
