Habits that’s I feel have helped me succeed, are as such.
Having a mindset of “Gods plans is bigger and better.” Sometimes I get so hard on myself but have to remind myself to trust God throughout the process. Through the good and bad I know I will be okay. Sometimes we limit ourselves and don’t realize that there is so much in store when you give it to God. I also have tried to be as positive as possible. It’s easy to give up when things are not going your way but you have to stay rooted in knowing it will all work out. Be the light in the dark. Lastly I would say just being myself. It’s easy to blend in and adapt to feel liked, but standing out is better. You have to be confident in yourself and know that you will accomplish everything you set your mind to. Read More>>

Prayer is the first thing I think of when considering a habit that I feel has helped me succeed while running my business. I can admit, at the peak of my entrepreneur journey I was overwhelmed because I had so many ideas, visions and goals for my business. But, I wasn’t sure how to master it all. I eventually had to remind myself that prayer was always the solution to all my problems so why not use it now ?! When navigating through my business I prioritize praying every step of the way and I believe this is what has gotten me through my successes thus far !
