Who is Monica?

Monica Allen's story is one of perseverance and determination, born out of humble beginnings in a small town in Georgia. With a single mom who had her at age 18, her grandmother and uncle, Monica knew the struggles of living below the poverty line all too well. But she refused to let her circumstances define her, and instead, was determined to break the cycle.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Monica was the first in her immediate family to attend a 4-year university. She then went on to work in the field of insurance as a benefits broker for 8 years, all while earning her Masters in Business Administration. But Monica wasn't content to just work for someone else - she had bigger dreams and set out on her entrepreneurial journey in 2005.

Since then, she has become a serial entrepreneur, owning several successful businesses including Zeus' Closet, stuff4GREEKS, and Deuce Equity Group. But that's not all - Monica is also the sole proprietor of Monica Allen Interiors and an Amazon Bestseller with her book "The Fearless Entrepreneurs: Fear Less; Be More".

Through it all, Monica has remained committed to helping others achieve their own entrepreneurial dreams. She loves equipping aspiring entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small business owners with tips to launch, grow, and scale their business while avoiding the many pitfalls of entrepreneurship. Monica's success is a testament to the power of surrounding yourself with positive people, believing in yourself, and having faith in God. Her story is one of overcoming adversity, chasing your dreams, and never giving up.
