In today's episode, I talk to Sesealy Owens, a mom, entrepreneur, and trailblazer who turned a tough pandemic experience into an amazing success story. Sesealy shares how she and her husband learned to buy existing businesses instead of starting from scratch, giving them cash flow and stability right away. She explains what it takes to buy a business, why now is the best time to look into this space, and how you can make it happen too.
About our guest
Sesealy Owens is the Owner and Co-CEO of Decatur Montessori School, an AMI-certified school serving children from six weeks to six years old. With a background in sales and marketing and a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from Talladega College, Sesealy brings over eight years of business expertise to her role. She oversees key operations, including client satisfaction, business growth, management, and financial planning.
Inspired by her family’s legacy in education—particularly her grandmother’s impactful teaching career—Sesealy found her passion in creating opportunities for young minds to thrive. In a bold move, she became the first Black owner of the Montessori school in over 30 years, seamlessly blending her love for education with her business acumen.
Sesealy’s entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t stop there; she also owns several other businesses, showcasing her dedication to building generational impact and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. Guided by the belief that "if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough," she continues to make strides in both education and business.
In this show we delve into various hardships and how they found the grit to continue.
