We had the good fortune of connecting with Sky Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Sky, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
When I was a little girl I always had an unusual fascination with order. I would align the cans in the grocery store one by one or even stack them neatly alongside one another. This peculiar conviction followed me into my love of math, specifically in the area of finances. It seemed as if budgeting became second nature to me; so much so that at the age of twelve I would assist my parents by sharing strategizes to help them with properly budgeting their finances.
In 2019, I was blessed to graduate from LSU with a degree in finance in hopes of aiding others with managing their lives financially as well!
Shortly after, I began my professional career in the finance industry. I was responsible for managing the affluent households of clients in the medical center of Houston where I have had the esteemed pleasure of helping clients from over 50 different countries!!
However, I began to notice no matter how many commas my clients had in the bank, no matter how many degrees or designations they carried–none of it mattered if their well-being or the ones they loved were in jeopardy.
Then it hit me:
People value the QUALITY of their lives far more than any dollar or designation could ever bring!
I knew at that moment I needed to find a way to help individuals discover the things which bought them the freedom and flexibility they desired, while still experiencing optimal fulfillment!
The remedy was helping my clients gain clarity they need in order to live the life of their dreams!!
Thus, SkySkraper Visions were born!
Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
WHAT SETS ME APART:
What sets me apart from others is my belief in the “impossible.” I believe that God is a God of exceptions. Today, we often see culture tempting us to abandon our morals to receive money, exploiting to gain influence and misusing power in order to and achieve purpose. My philosophy is that as long as I live according to a KINGDOM lifestyle I do not have to decide between my ethic and income. I CAN HAVE BOTH! WE CAN HAVE IT ALL!
What makes me the most proud about my business is the ability to give my clients hope about the very thing they are created to do. Life can already be challenging and having confusion about your purpose is not only the most FRUSTRATING, but it is also the most CONSEQUENTIAL thing to get wrong. I believe helping my clients gain clarity regarding their purpose is developing them to become their optimal self!
HOW DID I GET HERE TODAY:
Discipline, Obedience and Prayer. The most challenge and yet pleasurable thing about being an entrepreneur is the ability to have your time work for/against you. After I began SkySkraper Visions, it showed me areas of improvement regarding immediate executions as well as areas where I utilized waiting and wisdom as my best weapon!
Although it were not easy, having intentional devotional time with God brought forth one of the greatest blessings I have ever experienced: COMMUNITY!
WHAT I WANT OTHERS TO KNOW:
My brand represents the exception. SkySkrapers are those who are committed to continuously building something grand, powerful and distinguished. Each structure is designed in a unique fashion that reaches towards heaven to bring God the Glory. I believe SkySkrapers are not BETTER than other however, they are indeed DIFFERENT! We are created to turn the world upside down.
