When we go on short trips we often know exactly what we expect at the end, but when it comes to our lives and careers we’ve seen far too often we shy away from really thinking through where we expect to be at the end and what we hope our legacy will be. So, we wanted to encourage conversations on the topic of legacy and you’ll find highlights from our conversation from some wonderful members of the business and creative community below.
Lindsey Ault
It takes determination to be successful. Both of my worlds with my marketing company as well as with dance, you need to learn to keep going despite being told no. I’ll offer my content creation and management services to brands in need but they will decline. I cant let that bring my drive to a stop, I have to push and ask the next because I know my services are worth it! Dance is the same when auditioning you aren’t guaranteed that position even if you’re talented! They look for more than skills, it’s about performance and even comes down to body type and looks. Determination is needed to make it in both industries. Keep going. Read more>>
Stacey Ventura
I believe that success is subjective, and is as unique as each individual person. There is no one set of criteria nor is there a one size fits all checklist where you can just check off the boxes as you complete each task. Success, and how we define it, is rooted back to our foundation, to our belief system, and to our life experiences that mold us and shape who we are. What might be success for one person may be completely irrelevant and unimportant to the next. Often people associate success with money. The more money you have, the more successful you are. The more “things” you own, the better you are doing. Read more>>
Jordan Reid
What do I think it takes to be successful? A lot of things! So many qualities come together to guide individuals, or teams to “success.” First things first. You have to define what success means for you. There are a million and one people out there who will tell you success is owning a mansion with a 12-car garage filled with Lambos, and that’s fine. But what if you don’t want all that? What if success to you is simply buying a modest house to raise a family and purchasing that new environmentally friendly EV you’ve always wanted? Success is different for everyone. Read more>>
Alina Vakulina
In my opinion the main key to success is hard work and determination with a little touch of luck. You gotta love what you do. That’s the biggest ispiration source and push for any business. Read more>>
Andrea Atia
As an artist I found myself constantly questioning my ideas and inspirations. I spent decades (literally) looking for inspiration for what I thought people wanted to see. I obsessed about if others would like me or like my art, that I lost sight of what art truly was. Art is weird, and so am I. I now know that the clients that are right for me will find me, because it’ll be my ideas and my “weirdness” that make me stand out and it’s actually trying to fit myself into a mold that was keeping me from my true potential. Read more>>
Avery Gillham
One day when my body and mind have to retire I hope to leave behind inspiration, opportunities, and a positive outlook for the arts. I wish for the students I taught to get inspired and go the extra lengths. Push to find a career somewhere in the arts where they feel welcomed, at home, and enjoy everyday of it. From now until then I hope to create something that can help employ future performers to secure a way for them to financially be okay without the worries of “where does the next paycheck come from.” As well as teach other members of society that you can be successful in the arts and that it’s not a scary industry to be in.

LeeAnn Zubay
My husband has been an integral part of the restaurant scene here in Rochester since 1978. Though I went along for the ride, I was always on the sidelines preaching the food and flavor have to be better. Menus change like fashion, and you have to be on top of it. I think I helped change that in our businesses. Later on my own, I brought quality food items to the marketplace long before any local grocery store uttered the word charcuterie. And I did it with humor. Humor is just as important to me as food flavors. My daughter helped me write a manifesto once — “Justice and bats are blind, but your taste buds don’t have to be.” Read more>>
Brianna France
I hope that I will be remembered for my strong faith in God. Also, I try not to let other people’s fears dictate my life. For example, I chose to study photography in college even though multiple people told me to change majors. I decided to act on faith and pursue it. I knew photography was what I wanted to do and I trusted that God would work things out in my favor. Now I own a photography business that will continue to grow. I want future generations to hear my story and know that if God can do it for me, then He can do it for them. We have to make the most of this life and I believe that the best way to do that is by trusting God and following our dreams despite what others have to say about it. Read more>>
Samantha Brown
I come from a long lineage of strong, independent women. All of these women gave birth to many other women. There is only a handful of men in our family. Almost all of these women work, keep a home and raise their babies on their own, just like their mothers did. That strength and that sturdy ground is a big part of who I am. I hope to leave behind a life that other young women can aspire too. Success is not without pain and failure. It’s taking that pain, that failure and making something beautiful out of it. With my own story in particular I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to make important figures in my life proud, Read more>>
Omar Lemus Ramirez
My main goal for what I do was and still is to just document. To document every aspect of my life, So I’m not entirely sure but I hope that these photograph’s cement my legacy of just my life overall, you know. I want to be known for what I do and what I’ve done in life. Through photography I’m able to do both. I’m currently in my second year of my decade long project. And I’ve done so much just in that matter of those two years. So it’s good to have those memories in my life immortalized. I kind of went on a small tangent but to answer your question, I hope my legacy will be that I lived. take that how you please. Read more>>
Megan Jackson
I hope my legacy is a household name & lives from generation to generation. I pray everyday for my motivation and discipline, because sometimes it’s hard to have self motivation. But I have to want it and stay hungry if I want my kids (kids) to live through things I can now only work for to imagine. So sometimes when I speak I have to catch myself, like answering this question saying I hope. I want to redo my answer to your question. I know for A FACT my legacy will be a household name and live from generation to generation. Read more>>
Joshua Marks
I want people to be better off in life after knowing me. I want other people to find encouragement to reach their goals, to be the best version of themselves, and to be better off in their careers by something that I can contribute. I want to help others, and I want a few of those people to be able to look back and think, “I would not be where I am if I had not met him.” I want a legacy of giving and contributing. Read more>>
Chihu Ikechi-uko
I want to make space fun, that’s it. I want to be remembered as the guy who made space fun. Right now, you go to space and you’re in awe for like 15 minutes, maybe an hour, and then there is nothing to do. There is absolutely no incentive for the average person to really want to go to space. People plan their entire year and save up just to take their family to Disney or go to a music festival. Well I want people to plan their years and vacation days around going to space, and I want to give them an experience so incredible that it was worth every penny. I want my stamp on humanity to be, the guy who made space fun! Read more>>
Camille Hebron
I pray & hope my legacy with be that everyone will shop Mille Lux Furniture. Also our Atlanta, Georgia showroom will be the first stop my community will think of when shopping for small or large home furniture and accessories. Vision my son running the store with me side by side, and passing down to his children. Furnishing and Hosting lots of charitable events in the city and leaving our Mille Luv footprint of love at every doorstep and throughout the community. Read more>>
Jaron Jones
I started my business to be the first person in my family to build generational wealth. Showing my family that we can gain independence by doing things that we love is very important to me. Changing the stereotype that has surrounded our community for so long is the goal. Building others up and developing jobs for my community. I have many reasons why I started my business that stand behind just being a positive influence for others and my community. As long as I stay true to that, I believe my legacy will speak for itself. I don’t really think beyond that about my legacy. I just want to be a great influence for the people around me. Read more>>
Viranda Brooks
It’s odd that when you’re in the middle of creating or, better said, becoming, you spend very little time thinking about your legacy. The driving force behind my work and life is to inspire my daughter, my younger self, and women (especially women of color) to aspire to more. To live life boldly, loudly, and without apology. So I guess that’s what I hope my legacy will be. A life full of love, laughter, joy, discovering the world around you, making it better, and challenging yourself to push beyond your limits. All I want for myself and anyone is a life without regret. Read more>>
Mike Jones
The question of what I hope my legacy will be has always been interesting for me to think about. I’ve never done things for awards or notoriety, my biggest thing has always been simply helping others. I was not only blessed with a talent for basketball but I was able to figure out how to take that talent and use it to help other people. In a direct sense, I hope my legacy is being a person that my family, my children and all the kids I’ve worked with, can be proud of. In a more general sense, I hope that my legacy is being a person who helped others for the right reasons and achieved my goals without compromising who I was in the process. Read more>>
Nikia Lightfoot
I want my legacy to be that I was a loving, kind, compassionate, giving and strong woman who cared about myself, my family, my friends and those who I met along the way. I want to be remembered as a woman of integrity who kept her word, a person that others could confide in, seek advice from, and one who always offers a word of encouragement and prayer. I seek to be a woman who would go above and beyond for those I care about. My spirit is one that has always sought out the good in people, even when they couldn’t find it in themselves. Read more>>
Ashley Kroeger
Legacy. Legacy is defined as a gift by will, especially of money or other personal property. The irony in this is that legacy is not a simple all-encompassing definition and the true meaning of legacy differs for each and every individual. For me. the mention of legacy stems from something deeper, something more intrinsic, and truly something that’s unmoveable or unshakeable. My definition of legacy is defined as an instance, a moment, a location or a storyline that is all-encompassing by the life that each and every one of us lives. Read more>>
Tierra London
When I think about legacy, I think about those who have gone before us to embark on a journey, to dare to do something different, to rewrite the narrative, to create a new blueprint for those who will follow behind. I pray and hope that my legacy will be that which leads to souls being saved, businesses being birthed, books being written, dreams being pursued and fulfilled, and most importantly for those to live a life for Jesus. I pray that my legacy will inspire generational change. I pray that my future children will be able to say “because my parents dared to dream, I too can live my dream.” Read more>>
ATM Dave0
We all want to be remembered for something, for making a difference and standing out, for leaving something behind that can help re-invent the world we live in. When I was a child I knew I was chosen and meant for something more substantial; I just didn’t know what it was. My Legacy… When people think of me or ATM (After The Money), I want them to remember the core and vital qualities that founded my company: quality, integrity, and creativity, Read more>>
Valencia Lynch
I believe success, especially as an entrepreneur, takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and confidence. You truly have to believe in yourself so much that others may think that you’re crazy. If you are dedicated and work on your business/craft everyday I believe that the universe will have your back and align with your goals. Success is on the other side of fear. You have to put yourself out there and keep going even when it seems like things aren’t working out. I have experienced a lot of rejection in my industry but in the end a better opportunity has always come forward. Read more>>
Kaylyn Leslie
I think the word “success” is defined differently by everyone, so what it takes to be successful will differ from person to person. For me, I think successful people are those that have a gift for adaptation in every aspect and on all levels. If you can take whatever life throws at you and continuously make it work in your favor…you are successful. Successful people are those that take problems and focus on solutions. Read more>>
Charon Leonard
Let’s start with a short definition of success. The noun success refers to the achievement of an aim, goal, ambition or purpose. Such as the attainment of wealth, social status, fame, influence or power. In order to be successful, one must first dig deep within theirselves to determine, what success means to them For me, success, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. We all have different perceptions on what success is based upon our upbringing and current walk in life. Read more>>

Your Super P.O.W.E.R. to success starts with these 5 POWERFUL elements: P – Professional Presence It’s about poise and how you are showing up. Are you self-aware of these habits? Awareness of habits will help you communicate the information you want to be communicating. Confidence: Part of developing presence is conveying confidence. What if you don’t feel confident? One way to enhance your confidence is to speak about what you know. Read more>>
DJ LimeLightz
To be successful in my industry it takes thick skin. Everyone won’t cling to you at first all your ideas may get stolen at first by the bigger brands. Eventually though, once you’ve built a foundation that looks good with logos and good representation of exactly who that brand is, you will succeed. But I think a lot of people think the music industry is easy to jump in and manipulate where as it really does take time to build your notoriety. Read more>>

Success looks different for each person. However, success for me has come down to 3 important things: consistency, authenticity & hard-work. These 3 things have single handedly contributed to the growth and success of my business thus far. I always tell others “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work.” That phrase couldn’t be further from the truth. Read more>>
Marcus Lara
In 2017, I dropped out of medical school to start a company. I sold my car and moved back in with my parents, leaving a career path that came with both prestige and financial certainty. That didn’t matter. I wanted to build something I could call my own and was willing to risk it all to make it a reality. Building my own succesful business was always a dream. And at the age of 24, I knew that it was time to put myself to the test and make that dream a reality. So in 2017, I started Hathaspace, a wellness brand that began selling essential oil diffusers on amazon. Read more>>

In order to be successful in a small business you have to take your time and do your research. Know your target audience. You must be prepared to make tough decisions both mentally and physically. Know your operational needs. Don’t depend on friends and family to support your business. Your biggest customers are those you don’t know and those you have not meet yet. Read more>>
Becky Strasburger
I think perseverance is a major component of becoming successful as an entrepreneur. There will be so many obstacles, setbacks, and small failures that will arise when trying to start or build a business, big or small, and it’s easy to let those challenges convince you to the throw in the towel. Having a mindset that those challenges are learning lessons or stepping stones to improvement will help you overcome them, instead of looking at it as a sign to give up. Read more>>
Kylie Crinnian
My answer may be controversial to some, but it’s simple: You grind. You hustle. You work until you’re exhausted, and then you push through it. Before I had a family, I never stopped. I hustled every day to build a name for myself in this industry (which took about 8 years). I worked six days a week, took tons of additional education, and when I wasn’t busy behind the chair, I was doing models and practicing using social media to grow my platform. Being a creative business owner, the success with my business is never steady. It’s either really amazing, or it can be tight and that’s just something you have to always be prepared for as a successful owner. Read more>>
Anna Valdivia
“Success” is hard to define because it means something different to everyone, but for us at Profile KC we measure our success by the satisfaction of our clients. When we get to witness their skin improve, their confidence grow, and their mind ease after coming in for a service, we know we’re doing a good job. What it’s taken to get to this point, and starting a company, is a lot of hard work, research, training, drive, and faith. Read more>>
Gabby Lovelace
I think failure and attitude all play a big role in success. Setting boundaries and being disciplined can be one of the best things you can do for yourself, in business and personal life. If every business idea or venture went perfect every time you set out to do it, a lot of lessons would be missed. I think being receptive to criticism helps build character in your business.

SADIE Evans
Success is a very subjective word and even experience, because to me, success means health, which would give me the strength I need to obtain money and family and friends, whom I can run to when life is kicking my butt. Success might mean money, a big house, and a nice car. However, the things it takes to achieve success are universal and I stand by that because success requires HARD WORK, and I don’t mean that as in physical labor; I mean it as in discipline, consistency, boundaries, and passion.

Lauren White
Over the past 10 years of White Loft’s existence, I’ve learned so much about “success” – specifically what success means to me. Previous to being an entrepreneur, I had different expectations of what success meant. But when you own your own business and wear all the hats, each day’s wins and measures of success are different. One of my favorite guiding principles is, “Be clear in your goals but flexible in your approach.” I love this mantra because each day’s goals can be slightly different. Without a doubt, each day, I’m working to grow my business and drive revenue, and I like to recognize micro wins that don’t have to do with financial success. Read more>>

I started my career as a tattoo artist just about a year ago. In all honesty I never would have thought I’d get as far as I did. In the beginning of it all I kept striving myself to learn how to perfect my craft. There were a few tattoo artist that I looked up to and i kept saying to myself “wow I wish my work can look like theirs”. In order for my work to be were I wanted it to be I had to be dedicated to what I was doing. I set myself goals that I strived to achieve so I can be successful in my career. Read more>>
Dorka Jones
To me success is not easily defined and I think many people have different views on what it may look like. Personally one thing I consider when determining success is if my personal goals are being met. For example, having the freedom to create my own schedule and work the hours that I want. If I am I surrounding myself with groups of people who inspire/challenge me to do better. Am I still honoring my values, am I feeling fulfilled and is it providing for my family and I.. Read more>>
Timothy Jenkins
Success looks different for everyone. However, the formula to reach success is usually the same. It takes an endless amount of hope and hard work, along with a plan of execution and grace for when things don’t go right. First, you have to be willing to work hard and even out work others who may have the same dreams as you. Hard work sounds cliche, but it really means that you have to be willing to work late, get up early, and forego fun sometimes to get things done. you also need a detailed plan. This allows you to lay out what needs to be done, when you can get it done, and how you can get it done. Often times people have visions of what they want to get done but no actual plan to coincide with it. Read more>>
Kristy Cronister
Success looks different for each individual person so the first step is being able to define in certain terms what success looks like for you or your business. Once you define success you must identify the daily actions required for you to achieve that success. The hard part of achieving success is that you must execute on those actions every single day. The major difference between those who achieve success and those who do not is an unwavering commitment to execute at the highest level every single day. There will always be days or even seasons that bring more struggle or obstacles than others, but being unwilling to compromise your personal standards and commitment to your goals will always result in success over the long term.

Caitlyn Martin
Perseverance and courage. My first year of being a Realtor was rough. Not only was it a huge career change, but owning your own business is not a walk in the park. There were so many times I wanted to give up because I saw others succeeding right off the bat and couldn’t understand why that wasn’t me. I felt like a failure. Towards the end of 2021, I was at an all time low and seriously contemplating my life choices. Something needed to change or I was going to quit and need to find another career. Read more>>
Kenza Hutchines
In order to be successful in creative service spaces, I think that consistency is extremely important. Consistency in several ways. In both the makeup and content creation space, there are ALWAYS things that you need to learn, study, brush up on, etc. So you consistently have to be willing to learn and study. Along with being a student of these spaces, you have to be consistent in the work that you do. Content creation can be very daunting and taxing. However, if your goal is to grow your following you need to work out a consistent posting and creation schedule that works with the algorithm (that you’ve studied since it is ever changing).

Yashica Harrison
This is such a good question. There are qualities you need to attain to be successful, and every living being is capable of developing them. One thing it takes to be successful is the will and drive to in fact be successful. When you wake up thinking about all the things you want to attain, and you go to sleep thinking how to attain them. Thats will, and if there is a will there is a way. It takes a person who is willing to go through adversity and step over obstacles in their path. Not everything comes with ease, for me it did not and there are some things I am still going through to get to where I want to be in life, but you have to be okay with rolling with the punches.

Hasanna Limehouse
What I think it takes to be successful is to have faith and being determined. You have to have faith in yourself and your business. Being strong minded is very important because you’re going to run into tough decisions. Sometimes you’ll run into challenges that you never faced before but you have to have faith in yourself that no matter what you face, everything will work out for the best. Being determined and knowing where you want your business to go will motivate you to work extra hard. Read more>>
Quincy Bulin
More than anything, you have to care. Not about success, but everything that precludes it—you have to care about the work, the client, the consumer, the skill, etc. I realize you can receive some level of success without checking all the boxes, but to me it’s impossible to accomplish long-lasting, holistic success if you don’t truly care.

Ashley Ice
To be successful is more than the amount of money you earn a year. It is the happiness you provide for yourself and your loved ones around you. Human kind gets swept up in the idea they need to chase money in order to be happy. When in reality you need to chase your dreams to be happy. Money comes and goes. Time you could spend being happy does not. Read more>>
Antoine Stroman
To be successful first is to understand that success is not a destination, it’s having a continuous flow of energy towards achieving your goals. So to me, being successful is based on ones ability to persevere and at the same time continue to grow. Growth sometimes can be uncomfortable, it takes putting yourself out there and doing things you’ve never done before. You may fail the first time trying to reach new levels you’ve never reached, and this is where people can get discouraged. But you have to use the knowledge from that experience and apply going forward so that you can elevate. Read more>>

Angelika Krug
I used to think success came to those who worked the hardest. Though I still think there is a lot of truth to that, the longer I run my business the more I believe that success happens to good people; good people who seek to do more good. I believe it takes seeing the client as a human being, having empathy and compassion and putting yourself in their shoes as you service them. On the more practical side I believe it takes drive, focus, creativity, flexibility and good leadership but ultimately those things don’t stand without good morals and strong business ethics. Read more>>
Rhesa Teesdale
Success is subjective; other people measure success by the money they have made and others measure by the lives they have impact. I include many different factors in measuring my success, including money earned and impacted lives. I think quantifying your goals into reachable targets opens the door for you to accomplish many things in this life. It is imperative to keep yourself accountable to reaching that target because that will be the only way you will grow. Read more>>
Layla Boyd
Becoming successful I believe means having to weed out the things that ultimately don’t matter. Everyone has different lifestyles and habits, however it comes a time where you have to step back and begin to question the things around you that don’t contribute to your growth to even BECOME successful. Next I’d say is having disciple and being consistent in the things that you have a passion for. Consistency provides room and clarity to only get better at the things you are trying to peruse. Networking is also a factor in becoming successful, yes it’s important to believe in yourself but having people around who also see things in you and can assist in building that brand/empire for you and one another is unbeatable.

Success is relative. There are so many ways to measure success. The majority of Americans view success in relation to monetary value and materialism. But success is so much more than that. Do not get me wrong, materials are great, but does it hold the same value if you sacrificed your entire child’s childhood to make it happen? I can only speak on success from what I view as important. I set my own goals based on what I would like to achieve before I move on to the next mountain. Read more>>
Havilah Asher
For me, success is a journey from day to day, It can look like many things but key qualities would be patience, adaptability, discipline, unwavering persistence and consistency. Also, self care is paramount. I happy to have built a brand that focuses on the skin and body, Taking care of yourself is a great success story. It’s hard for most of us to do. I’m still on the path of success and I’m learning as much as I can along the way as a business owner. I happy to have built a brand that focuses on the skin and body, The landscape of business can change quickly and Covid has shown me that. I think having an adaptable mindset is key, but having a deep sense of belief and purpose is very important. Read more>>
Angelic Brown
Self-care is success. Making time to focus on your Mental Health gives you a clear mind and shifts your perspective when faced with hard times. Most of us start careers to provide and leave legacies for our families. That alone can put so much pressure on your mental which is why I believe Mental Health Awareness should be a priority in every work environment. Although we’re taught to work as hard as we can to reach our goals and we’re provided the tools to do so, we are not coached on how to handle our failures and not allow the setbacks to discourage us. Our setbacks can help us become successful too. Read more>>

When you run out of motivation and inspiration, it’s what you’re disciplined in that’s left available. Now depending on what you’re disciplined in, that can determine what level of success you’re able to reach, but I’ve found that in the photography business networking beyond social media has been what I’ve been disciplined in the most. This has profoundly affected my success in the industry, and I’m not just talking about interaction that’s beneficial to myself or my business, but making myself available to the community around me, serving or mentoring other rising artists in my area, focusing on the mental wellness of my peers and learning what it is that I can offer back that will make a difference.

Here are my top 5 keys to success: Become spiritually fit and give everything to a higher source, whatever that may look like for you. For me, it’s God. The closer you draw to something bigger than you, the more you learn about yourself, the more you start trusting your own intuition and the more you will lead with integrity, love, and Grace. Surround yourself with the right people, both in and outside of work. The company you keep should reflect your standards. Read more>>
Austin Pace
I think being authentic is the key to be successful. I hear a lot about a lot of different industries being “over-saturated.” Being in the photography industry I can definitely attest to the fact that there are tons of photographers to choose from, even in my local community! But that doesn’t mean we can’t all be successful. We all have our own voices, personalities, and views on life and we can express that through our art and through the way we conduct business. If we do everything as our authentic & true selves that translates to our customers and sets each of us apart from the other! Read more>>
Dee Bartee
I think that it takes a few qualities to become successful. Starting with a strong work ethic, self discipline, and a good business plan. Work ethic is the basis of all success. It is grounding and something you can always do to keep going. Self discipline is the hardest part of success. As someone who runs their own business the discipline of one’s self is important because you’re the one running every part of it. Without you success would not happen. A good business plan allows you to track progress, stay in check, and look ahead at your future goals leading to growth and success. Read more>>

Legacy is one of the most important things to us. Whether it comes to raising our three babies or our entire team. When we hire – we hire knowing we will treat them like family. We are creating something bigger and deeper at construction2style not only for our personal family but our c2s family and their families. Our motto is “Create a space you love and your life will launch off of it.” We are creating homes for homeowners that truly spark their joy everyday of their life. Might not be our style, priorities, or goals. But as we get to know clients – we think about theirs. Read more>>

Being successful takes discipline, taking risks (BIG MONEY RISKS), saying yes to yourself when everyone else is saying no, showing up for yourself, networking even when you don’t look like those in the room, being fully supported (coach/mentor), RESTING (working from a place of abundance rather than lack) Read more>>
Christine Vega-Perez
Success is often defined by what we experience, what we witness and the stories we hear throughout society. I think the most important thing it takes to be successful is to listen to yourself and find out what you truly want. For me, I had a full plan of what being successful would look like. I was going to get college degrees, at least a Master’s level. I was going to buy a home, and build a family with a husband and kids. I would excel in my career and get to a Director level and make six-figures. So when I did all that, I should have been fully content right? But I wasn’t. I had other goals. Read more>>

In a world full of selfies and tiktok videos, I hope that my legacy will be one of sharing stories. As I travel and create photo/video content, one of my main goals is to give that content a fruitful meaning. To share stories of people and locations that not everyone may have access to. Or to give meaning to a simple photo that may help someone through a tough time. When taking photos of people, I hope that it can give them confidence that goes deeper than just a like or a comment on social media. My favorite moments are when people finally see their own beauty through a different eye. Read more>>
