We don’t believe success is random. Over the years we have spoken with hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs, artists, creatives, researchers, athletes, and more. We’ve learned from them – both through their stories and through the advice they’ve shared with us – and it’s quite evident that success is more likely when certain habits are present. So, we decided to ask folks to share their habits with us, especially those that they feel helped them succeed.

Aika Takeshima | Dance artist and DEI practitioner

The habits that helped me succeed are not complaining and taking continuous actions to improve. Complaining can be a great opportunity to find areas for improvement, but sometimes we spend too much time complaining without actually taking any action. Complaints can easily be linked to negative emotions, which is not healthy for my mental well-being. So, whenever I find myself or something is not up to par, I try to consider it as an opportunity for improvement instead of complaining. This helps me avoid wasting time and negative emotions that can lead to unproductivity. Thanks to these habits, I have been able to overcome my weaknesses, make progress, and polish my strengths quickly. Read more>>

Consistency in your work, quality, routine, product/materials and thought. I have continued to paint almost daily. I practice, create and repeat. I have stretched my abilities and added new genres but I have found people respond to my tried and true Impasto style. Collectors can count on me to bring color and happiness to their home or office. They know that I put love and time into every piece. Consistency has built my reputation and served me well. Read more>>

Adrienne Leigh | Esthetician & Entrepreneur

Everything I do goes back to the main goal of “Does this action bring me closer to or further away from the entrepreneur I strive to be?”

Some tangible habits are:

Creating a good morning routine where I focus on filling my cup before I start my work day.
Showing up online & promoting my business daily.
Collaborating with other local businesses on events & social media posts.
But above all else, staying true to my “why” has helped me succeed! Read more>>
