We had the good fortune of connecting with Falisha Benson and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Falisha, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
The habits of prayer, waking up early , writing down my vision/goals has helped me succeed. Without God I am nothing . Waking up early allows me to focus and set the tone for my day. The early bird gets the worm is more then just a quote. Writing down your vision/goals is essential for growth . To me its a map to success. My father would always recite Habakkuk 2:2 when I would get discouraged .
“Write the vision, and make it plain “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Whatever your vision is WRITE IT DOWN , PRAY about it .Really BELIVE its going to happen! Thank God & in due season aka (the appointed time) it will happen .
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
What sets GoodiesByJell apart from others is our uniqueness. Our desserts not only look good but taste good as well. We are recognized for our presentation. GoodiesByJell desserts always stand out! Were most proud of our steady growth in the last 9+ years. We are where we are today due to our good customer service, a satisfied customer is everything! word of mouth is one of biggest blessings. This journey has not been easy by far . We have over come many challenges by remembering nothing worth having comes easy! We’ve learned plenty of lessons along the way, one of the most important is patience. Patience is a key element of success. Being self employed your patience is tested daily . We want people to know that we work hard and we absolute love what we do . We appreciate each and every opportunity .
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d love to give a shout out to my son Kaden, my parents Raynard and Gloria Benson and my siblings Raynisha and Natasha . My Family has been a huge support to my business since day one.
My parents literally made me start my business lol. They saw something in me I didn’t see.
My mom actually named my business. Thank you Mom and dad for believing in me and encouraging me to keep God first in all that I do . My family has been my backbone. They advertise my business like its there’s !! they have all helped me win , they have all invested someway in my business . My son Kaden has been my assistant for 5+years .Kaden is 13 years old , My customers see him more then they see me. Kaden is the one who brings you your order. On my super busy days he makes chocolate, colors fondant , makes fondant toppers, cuts ribbon, packages party favors & dips apples 🙂 when I’m in a rush and out of things he runs to the store for me ” its a good thing we live across the street lol ” My son is heaven sent . I’m so thankful for him ! He’s literally my right hand man . I love you my baby and thank you for everything you do .
