We believe that success can mean different things to different people – not everyone wants the same thing, what drives happiness and fulfillment for one person doesn’t necessarily predict what will for another. That said – if we simply think of success as being effective at achieving one’s goal – whatever those goals might be – then we can set a sort of common

Success is subjective, but what I would say it mainly takes to succeed is perseverance and the ability to adapt. Whether you work for someone or own your own business you will inevitably face failures, and how you respond determines the outcome of your actions. In the first year of my retail business, I decided to sell a certain collection of tables that were still being manufactured. Read more>>

I think the main thing is not having the word quit in your vocabulary. Failure isn’t a bad thing. Afterall, if you’re failing, that means you’re doing, which is always better than standing still and watching life speed by. Failure is a great teacher in educating you on what to do/what not to do, preparing you for the next opportunity that may present itself. Think of it as a stepping stone to your next success.

I think to be successful it takes consistency and growth. There will be times in any business where you don’t have many people watching you or purchasing your product. However, you need to make it through those days to get to the sold out products/ events. Success doesn’t happen overnight. Success happens when you work for it with everything you got. Read more>>

Kanita Stewart

At the top of my list of what it takes to be successful is a willingness to work hard. Success that’s too easy is something that’s not as valued. If you just happen upon success, you may start thinking that it’s owed to you, that you don’t have to do anything and it will come, or that it will always be there. That’s a form of dead-end thinking. Read more>>

It definitely takes consistency, hard work and determination. As a small business owner I find myself taking on multiple roles. Not only as the baker but also the accountant, social media manager, content creator, delivery person and more!

Success is subjective. Oftentimes , we compare out success based on what other people think. I realized that I am successful because I’m willing to go the extra mile. Success requires sacrifice and the ability to be persistent when others would potentially give up. Read more>>

Eduardo Harris

I’ve read plenty of self improvement and entrepreneur books and there’s always been one thing in common when it comes to success. Never quit. It’s not easy and there are challenges every day. I keep the mindset that every challenge is a test. It’s ok to fail, as long as you recognize what was done incorrectly, fix it, and try again. Read more>>

Keedra Keeley

I think you first have to define what success means and looks like to you, because it doesn’t mean or look the same to everyone. For some people success is a whole lot of money and a whole lot of material things. For others it could look like their family healthy and happy. Whatever it is, it requires a vision, setting goals, and being consistent with whatever it takes to reach those goals in order to see that vision come alive. Read more>>

Chelsea Sellars-Wilson

To be successful, I think it takes vision, persistence, discipline, & a high level of focus. You must first know what it is you truly desire. You must envision what you want so that you can move towards it.

Dominique Ransom

what I truly think it takes to become a successful person is really being able to take a step back in your own identity, and realize what will be profitable for for long-term success, and just making sure that every decision that you make for your company, or for your employees that is not a selfishly-based decision. I have watched many people only have their backs as a business and I just don’t think that’s the way that you should operate . Read more>>

Harnea Allen

Depending on who you ask, success feels and looks different to all of us. Some people base it off of the materials , some off the peace. I believe success, of course, takes lots of hard work and dedication but all of that is easier said than done. I believe the main key to success is yourself and your vision. You have to believe in yourself and in that vision so bad anything else outside of that dream becomes a delusion to you. Read more>>

I have a drive and hustle beyond your imagination. My tenacity, drive and dedication to be a good provider for my family has made me who I am today. My success is not defined from the amount of money I make, but by the individuals I impact and leave behind my legacy. Read more>>

Success is a topic that’s always fascinated me. From what I’ve learned, it takes a mix of several qualities to achieve it. You’ve got to be willing to work hard and persevere through the tough times. But, I believe the most important thing is having a clear sense of purpose and a strong vision of what you want to accomplish. Once you’ve got that, everything else falls into place. Read more>>

I believe those who are successful don’t wait around for opportunities, they create them. There’s no silver bullet that will guarantee success, but actively seeking out experiences and people that align with your goals can take you far. You also have to be willing to take risks. I think the best opportunities come from outside your comfort zone. Finding a passion and purpose in your work is key as well. Read more>>

I love this question because I frequently ask myself this all the time. I believe it depends on how you view success.
