Chiezda Washington, author of Direct Sales for the Single Mom
(Self-Published)
Direct Sales for the Single Mom is a fictional and inspirational journey of how a single mom of two achieved success through direct sales and how it changed the course of her life.
This inspiring story will encourage you to reach your fullest possible potential. There are principles shared in this story that are applicable to both life and business. It provides a wealth of startup resources in addition to some interactive worksheets to help guide the reader to his or her purpose.
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Direct Sales for the Single Mom?
Chiezda Washington: I’ve both directly and indirectly helped over 700+ people start their own home based businesses. As a single mom, I know there are a certain set of struggles we face as entrepreneurs and to assist others with balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship is where I found my inspiration.
JP: What sets Direct Sales for the Single Mom apart from other books in the same genre?
CW: First, I’ve researched many books on the market and while many of them focus on success principles, none of them are specifically targeting my audience of single moms. Moms, period, wear many hats. When you add to the equation a single woman raising kids, you double the number of hats she wears.
My target audience is who I wake up to being each and every day. God is using me as a vessel to assist others with both clarity and encouragement to balance their lives and pursue their dreams simultaneously.
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to Direct Sales for the Single Mom getting out to the public?
CW: A solid brand, exposure, my commitment to my audiences success in business, internet presence and a valued information product.
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish Direct Sales for the Single Mom?
CW: My process is from my heart, and it took me approximately three weeks to compose this book, cover to cover. The foreword was written by an author and friend, Mrs. Toni Coleman Brown, and the resources were gathered from my own personal arsenal of business building services.
JP: What’s next for Chiezda Washington?
CW: Next for me is the complete Single Mom to CEO Business Bootcamp to include webinar trainings, personal coaching, tour dates across the United States and a book deal with a major publishing company.

This is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I just love seiing Single Moms on a MISSION! The more you continue to help them Chiezda, the more YOU will be blessed! I’m so EXCITED about the work you are doing!
Thanks so much Melanie. The book was already in the making but you PUT IT IN MOTION…….Your class How to Become a #1 Bestseller on Amazon was PRICELESS.
Where some women has the potential to tear other women down instead of building each other up and sticking together in an already biased society..Chiezda Washington is the epitome of a women who’s genuine in helping women and seeing them at thier best. Chiezda has been an inspiration to me and my desire to be successful as a mom and entreprenuer. I love her book and I continue to wish her many blessings and much success.
Morine,
My dream is to see all people, especially single moms, create a legacy for their families. Even women and men without children deserve to reach their fullest possible potential and if I can be a bridge to connect them to their destiny….use me Lord.
a great observation on your part – being able to see that a large audience existed. I’m sure your book and ensuing platform of self development will provide assistance in their quest to put down the excuses, overcome the challenges, and burst into a new position in life. All the best to you.
Chiezda is a firestorm when it comes to business planning and strategizing. She has been my “secret weapon” for the past 5 years. The insight and knowledge that she imparts in this book is priceless and will definitely guide any woman through what can me a lonely and confusing process of entrepreneurship and direct sales. Kudos to you for this wonderful book!
Torin, thanks so very much. Big projects are being released this year.
Delayna, anything I know is an open book to you. Seeing how far you’ve come is inspiring to me and also makes me very proud of you. Continue striving….
