Meet Tina Williams

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Tina Williams. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Tina below.

Tina, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

I’ve always believed that deep down, each of us has a purpose tied to the gifts we naturally share with the world. For me, I discovered mine when I was working in the banking industry and saw firsthand how many aspiring entrepreneurs—especially those from underserved communities—were getting turned down for loans and funding. They had amazing ideas, bright visions, and the grit to make it happen, but they didn’t have the proper guidance to navigate the financial and business-planning side of things.

I started asking myself, “How can I be part of the solution?” Little by little, I found myself working after hours—coaching friends and family members, helping them prepare business plans, and showing them the steps to strengthen their credit or funding applications. The success they experienced lit a fire in me. Each time someone came back saying, “I got my loan approved” or “I’m launching my dream,” it was like a confirmation that this was exactly what I was meant to do.

So, you could say QT Business Solutions was born out of that realization. It wasn’t just about making a living; it was about fulfilling a purpose: empowering people to bring their business visions to life. Once I saw the impact of my work—really changing lives, helping families build generational wealth, and watching entire communities benefit from newly established businesses—there was no turning back.

That’s how I found my purpose: by paying attention to the problems people faced every day, tapping into my own expertise, and realizing I could offer a solution. And that sense of purpose continues to guide everything we do here at QT Business Solutions.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs bring their big ideas to life, especially those who might not otherwise have access to capital and strategic planning. At QT Business Solutions, we work tirelessly to bridge that gap—offering funding strategies, business plan development, and hands-on support every step of the way.

What sets us apart is our genuine commitment to seeing new ventures succeed. My personal mission is to be photographed in 1,000 grand opening photos—I want to witness firsthand the moment a dream goes from concept to brick-and-mortar reality. It’s not just about talk; it’s about helping people create a tangible manifestation of their vision by securing the financing and resources they need to grow.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to expand, we’re here to provide the guidance and funding connections that lead to real, measurable outcomes. It’s been incredibly rewarding to watch our clients break barriers, open new locations, or launch innovative services. And as we continue to expand, we’re gearing up to host more interactive workshops, networking events, and specialized programs designed to empower future business owners in our community.

The heart of QT Business Solutions is all about transforming “I have a dream” into “I opened my doors,” and the thrill of being part of that is what keeps me inspired every single day. We’d love to connect with anyone who’s ready to take the next step in turning their passion into a thriving business—and get that grand opening photo for the collection!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

One of the biggest turning points for me was recognizing I couldn’t do everything by myself—and actually moving forward with my first hire. That single step taught me how powerful it is to invest in people who share your vision. My second game-changer was finding an amazing executive assistant who took care of the details, freeing me up to focus on bigger-picture goals. Finally, learning how to document my processes—from how I recruit to how I test applicants—allowed me to create a consistent system for finding the right talent every time.

For anyone just starting out, I’d recommend:

1. Learning to Delegate: As soon as you can, bring on help. Start small if you must, but trust that the right person can make your life infinitely easier and your business more productive.

2. Systemize Everything: Write down your workflows, keep track of what works and what doesn’t, and refine as you go. This helps you replicate success and quickly adapt when the business grows.

3. Test Before You Invest: Whether it’s a short project, a skills test, or a paid trial assignment, giving applicants a practical test ensures they’re a true fit for your team before you commit.

Implementing these strategies has been a game changer for me, and I’m confident they can help anyone else on the same journey.

Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?

I love working with entrepreneurs who are serious about turning their ideas into real, tangible businesses. Our ideal clients at QT Business Solutions share a few key characteristics:

Driven and Purpose-Focused: They have a strong ‘why’ behind their venture and genuinely want to make a positive impact in their communities.

Ready for Funding: For for-profit businesses, we look for founders who need funding and have a credit score of at least 575. For nonprofit founders, we value an extreme passion to succeed in creating meaningful change.

Open to Guidance: They’re ready to learn and implement proven strategies for securing capital, developing business plans, and structuring operations.

Committed to the Process: They understand that success doesn’t happen overnight, and they’re willing to put in the effort to see their dream become a reality.

When clients meet these criteria—driven, ready to secure funding, and eager to collaborate—we can truly move the needle. We help them secure the capital, plan their strategies, and set the stage for long-term growth, transforming ideas into thriving enterprises or impactful nonprofits.
