Today we’d like to introduce you to Shalondria Simpson.
Shalondria, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
As a pharmacist, I’ve always wanted to branch out on my own and become a POWERFUL entrepreneur. I opened my first pharmacy in 2015 and with our success, I was able to open our second location in 2017. TruCare is a labor of love. We wanted to target the downtown market and offer a wider range of services. We quickly secured a contract with St. Joseph’s Medical Center and have been flourishing ever since.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No path is ever smooth. With the highs and lows that come with pharmacy it’s important to continue to reinvent your business to stay ahead of the curve. Some days are slow and some days you are completely slammed. Maintaining personnel that understands that business will fluctuate is vital. We need our team to be able to hustle when the going gets tough and also ensure all loose ends are cleaned up during slow seasons. With a small business, we try to make sure we hire team members whose vision is to see the business flourish.
