We have the good fortune of connecting with so many bright, accomplished folks from a variety of industries and we often ask them to tell us what they feel has been the most important factor behind their success. We’ve shared some highlights below.

My brand is ME, the most important factor is authenticity. Just being real! How I represent myself, my style, approach, values and what I stand for. I am a firm believer in people connect with your energy, expertise, and unique approach to the incredible art form.

To me this isn’t just about dance education. It goes way beyond that. These dancers are the future, the next generation. Training dancers to be passionate, motivated, humble and kind individuals along the way. Read More>>

The most important factor behind my success is my support system of my parents and my clients. If it wasn’t for their trust and belief in my abilities, I wouldn’t be in the position I am in today. Their loyalty through this journey hasn’t gone unnoticed it’s been the driving force behind my growth. This has both allowed me to push harder and continue to grow not just as a business but also as a person. Being 7 years into the industry remaining teachable is essential. Growth is a constant process, and being open to learning has allowed me to adapt, improve and stay aligned with my purpose. Read More>>

I think just being someone people want to work with has been a wildly successful tactic for me. And being versatile. As a hospitality photographer, a lot of my clients are either marketing & PR professionals or small business owners, and those are some stressed-out groups of people who work with extremely last-minute deadlines and turnaround times; meaning that I also work in these conditions. And I love it. I love the chaos that is the hospitality industry and I think loving what I do, engaging with all staff to go through each detail, and meeting crazy talented chefs and mixologists and individuals who are so passionate about what they do, and visiting new cities and markets makes me excited to be at work and that shows.

Tasha Renee

Honestly, the most important factor behind my success—and the success of my brand—has been God. I’ve been doing makeup for over 20 years professionally as MUA Tasha Renee, and that’s where everything started. I built a name as an artist, but it wasn’t until I fully surrendered my gifts back to God that I saw the deeper purpose in it all. Read More>>
