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 a multifaceted concept, and its definition varies from one individual to another. It’s not a handout, but a result of hard work, dedication, and a clear vision. The depth of one’s ambition often determines the goals one sets, shaping the path to success. My spiritual foundation is crucial to my success. I trust God as my source in all things. He is the CEO of every business endeavor and paves the way for wisdom and clarity. My success comes from being a student of the Bible. Studying, living, and speaking the Word of God has completely transformed my life. Prayer has been my answer to unlocking the door of success. It’s in prayer that strategies are downloaded and nurtured to life. Read more>>

Learn to hear the words “no” or “no I am not interested” and move on. Learn to let rejection roll off of your shoulders and move on. Expect a lot of eye rolls and giggles and move on. I encountered many prospective clients and kept hearing those words repeatedly. I took it hard because I believed that I was offering a service that not many were or could offer. There were many times when I second-guessed my decision to enter the UAV (drone) industry. I was headstrong and deliberate in my decision to continue learning everything I could and network with people who were presently in the industry. Read more>>

I think artistic success should be measured on a personal level, not how many people follow your work, or how much money you might make from your work. Art is an expression, and if you feel fulfilled from the creation of your art, if your work satisfies your need to say what you have to say, and it touches even one person on a deep level, that is success.

Being successful may be different for everyone, but I know that whatever it is for you will take effort, persistence, and focus. I feel successful every day for the opportunity to keep working for my Goals and providing for my family. Every day is an opportunity to change someone’s life to be their best version. Read more>>

I started my career before there was social media or even the internet, for that matter. My business grew from referrals and good old fashioned pounding the pavement handing out business cards. Fast forward 20 years to opening my own salon right in the middle of the Covid pandemic. This was something I was working on pre-pandemic but hadn’t found the right location. Not being able to see clients during this time gave me the freedom and time to find the perfect salon space, but to also put my new salon together. My husband and I thought that this was either the stupidest thing we would ever do or it was going to be the smartest. The latter was correct! Now we have 3 hair stylists, a lash artist and 3 nail artists within our salon. Read more>>

Success, in its rawest form, requires one to have a relentless combination of passion, hard work, and adaptability. Setting clear, achievable goals, being unwavering in the pursuit of those goals, and learning from every stumble and setback. To be successful, stepping out of your comfort zone is a must, being able to embrace failure as a steppingstone, and keep pushing forward, even when the path is steep and uncertain. It takes grit, resilience, and an unshakable belief in yourself. Read more>>

I believe it takes hard work, and a strong mindset to be successful. Being a business owner is not for the weak minded, and that’s okay. It isn’t for everyone. I went through a lot of ups and downs and figuring out what works and what doesn’t. Read more>>

To be successful varies depending on a person’s individual goals and circumstances. For me personally success starts with an idea, an idea so strong that it becomes a reality in your mind. As you meditate on this idea a first step moving towards success is creating a plan. Before starting my own business I went through a series of steps to see if this was something I really desired. I asked myself questions like what do I want to accomplish, what are my intentions, how much will I have to invest (time and money), how will this affect my life. I made a list of potential advantages and disadvantages that would arise if my business idea turned into a reality. Read more>>

I am a firm believer in work ethic, tenacity and mental toughness. In entertainment, especially in today’s climate with covid and strikes and so many variables we have little control over it can be easy to throw in the towel. Excuses and legitimate reasons to pursue a stable career and “take a break” are more available than ever, and I’ve seen a lot of really talented creatives ring the bell, so to speak. It is difficult to see people who are so good at what they do have to make those decisions, but I understand doing what is best for financial situations or if you have families to feed. Read more>>
