We had the good fortune of connecting with Chelsea Goins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chelsea, how do you define success?
I define success as setting a clear direction for myself and working hard to reach that destination. It is about the finish line and enjoying the journey. Success is about progress, learning from mistakes, and feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment in what I have achieved

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am a nail artist that specializes in gel. I offer acrylic alternatives and advocates for natural nail care. I’ve been doing nails for about 5 years. Professionally I have taken classes, practiced when I didn’t feel like it, tons of trial and error and asked questions when I felt unsure of anything. My journal was not easy. I began nail school with no experience and maintained a full time career the majority of my journey. I overcame fear and rejection by accepting whatever happens and viewing failures as a lesson I had to learn. I want the world to know that you don’t have to settle for mediocrity when it comes to anything but especially nails . I take pride in my work and my attention to detail makes a nail experience with me different than any other experience.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would eat Pappadeauxs, Southern Gourmet, Cane Rosso, Torchys, and my mama house lol . I would visit Spa Castle, Dallas Comedy Club, The Improv, Farmers Market, Allen Outlet, and The Colony .
