Tee Mayfield's journey to "mommapreneur" 
Owner of B4Fitness & Maydog Promos Marketing Company

     I never tried to sum up my story on how I got started as a “mom” entrepreneur, so this will be my first try.  My journey to being an entrepreneur was founded off of everything nontraditional.  I have never been married and I have been involved in two horrible relationships that both resulted in 3 beautiful children.  I can remember in my darkest times receiving ideas of me being this important person but I did not take these ideas into account because I felt it was not applicable to me.  In unprofessional terms, I felt like I was shit and those ideas did not apply to me.   My work setting was just about the same as my personal relationships….. Crappy!  I can remember after having my son going back to work to find that my boss had moved my cubicle under the exit sign in the office. Not funny! Okay maybe a little funny.  More the less, I was looked at so bad because my life had took this nontraditional turn.  To really get to how I started, I did not start with money in the bank as a matter of fact I owed the bank.  I did not wait until my kids were older because my son was 8 weeks old and my girls were both under the age of 10.  I did not start by doing a pyramid type business, which there is nothing wrong with that, just not my thing.  I started when I was in the process of not trying to go insane! I was at the gym working out because for so long I had always found the gym as a place for me to think or process my pain better.  As I began to have new outlooks of my situation and shooting down my thoughts of self-homicide, I began thinking about becoming an entrepreneur. Why should I work for those awful people? I began seeing visions of the same people who doubted me admiring me on T.V.  This vision fueled me even more!!! I asked God, “What is it that I would be doing?” I had these visions but he did not reveal “how.” Until one day while working out, this female bodybuilder walked up to me and said, “Wow, what are you doing and whatever it is….. keep it up!”  That comment lead me to go home and really think and when I say think….. I mean I was thinking.  I thought myself to sleep that night to only be awakened by an infomercial chanting my government name: Shantee pronounced “Shaun’ tee.”  I could not believe what I was hearing!  The best way to describe it is that I was having a Sherman Clump experience! I slowly made my way to the living room with a bat of course and it was there I slowly sat on the couch to hear all these testimonies about “Shantee.”  As my name continuously kept being repeated, I was thinking who the “Shantee?” is.  Towards the end, I found out it was Shaun-T hip hop abs! I was relieved because I did not want to experience no creepy television talking to me.  But it was there, I discovered I wanted to help women get over adversities in their life and become the true woman they are meant to be. I wanted to do this by way of fitness and taking self-control instead of losing control of self.  I began to go back to school to obtain my Bachelors in Psychology (Spring 2013) and later my PHD in Clinical Psychology.  I am the current owner of B4 Fitness and Maydog Promos Marketing Company and a mother of three children two girls and one boy!
