We had the good fortune of connecting with Bryttnee’ Knight and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bryttnee’, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
The most important decision I made that contributed to my success was faith and trusting God throughout every decision. God gives me the vision and I write it down, and I allow Him to do the rest. I’ve tried doing things on my own, and it never works out. But the moment I allow God to act on my behalf, success happens. And it has been that way since I started my journey into becoming a business owner/entrepreneur back in 2011.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
When I started ZaP’d Beauty and ZB Hair Care in 2015, I had no idea what was going to happen. I didn’t know how far it would go or how people would perceive it. But one thing I did do was trust God during the process. God began preparing me in 2011, right before I was laid off my job. It hasn’t been an easy process. There has definitely been some ups and downs. However, those challenges helped me gain strength, faith, and determination. There’s power in prayer, and trusting God sometimes can feel like it’s hard to do. I’ve learned that you can’t tell everyone your vision, because people that doesn’t have the same vision as you can project their fears onto you. Then ultimately it will hinder what the true goal is. I’ve had to separate myself from friends and family for awhile, just to stay focused on the importance of what God has for ZaP’d Beauty. And even in isolation can be challenging; but there’s always a bigger picture. I want the world to know that ZaP’d Beauty is bigger than me. I want the world to know that ZaP’d Beauty will be and is a household brand and I will forever give God the Glory for it all.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have to give recognition to my three wonderful children. If it wasn’t for them, I honestly don’t believe my brand would be what it is. My children are my entire world, and they’re the reason I continue to push myself every day. I have to thank God for blessing me with such brilliant children.
