I truly attribute my success to mindset. If you don’t believe something is possible, it’s hard to create it. I wake up excited each day thinking, I get to do this today. That energy matters.

Every morning, I write 10 gratitudes and 3 goals, and I keep writing those goals until they happen. I believe what you focus on grows.

A big turning point for me came after taking a course with entrepreneur Danelle Delgado. At a conference in Mexico, she asked me, What do you want? I said, I want my pink beer back. Within three months, it was launched. That moment taught me the power of asking for what you want.

Since then, I’ve built that asking muscle. I believe life opens up when you show up, speak up, and share your dreams. Sometimes even the things said jokingly can become real.

For me, success is being yourself, staying humble, staying natural, and taking action. Dreams are wonderful—but action is what brings them to life.

The best career advice I’ve ever received is this: Set goals, believe in yourself, and take action.

If you don’t believe you can do something, it’s much harder to create it. But when you know your dreams are possible and you write down clear goals, amazing things can happen.

I believe in putting action behind every goal. Each day I ask myself, What calls do I need to make? What step can I take today? Success doesn’t come from wishing, it comes from showing up and doing the work.

That’s why I always say: I’m a Goal Getter… I Get Things Done. 💖

The advice I would give a woman in my career is this: Know what you want, network, meet the right people, and never be afraid to connect.

Every day, ask yourself: What is my what today? What is it that you truly want to create, accomplish, grow, or move forward? The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it becomes to take action and recognize opportunities when they appear.

I believe success often comes through relationships, so focus on my 3 C’s: Connect, Collaborate, and Communicate. Build genuine relationships, share ideas, and let others know your dreams.

Make the call, send the email, and always follow up. So many doors open simply because you reached out and asked. Don’t keep your dreams to yourself—share them.

Get involved in social media too. Nobody knows what you’re doing unless you put it out there and let your light shine. Visibility matters.

Most of all, have fun, be happy, and enjoy the journey. Success is sweeter when you love the life you’re building along the way. 

I would say the biggest challenge is communication. I mean, if the communication isn't there, you would not be where you're gonna wanna be. I'm a very big communicator, so if I don't get an answer, I'm like, oh, that's slowing me down. If I could teach people that communication for the other side of the business too is huge, it has to be a two-way street. Communication should really be number one. I'm a person who likes to talk on the phone. Emails don't go as far to me - the expression isn't there. If I could teach anyone, I would love to share how important it is to communicate right back, especially if you want to be part of something, no matter what it is. That would be my thing I would encourage people to do.

Values to me are staying connected, staying involved, being that person who shows up to help others. It's important to me, and it's so valuable too to show other people how important they are. That's a high value for me, because I think showing people that you are important gives them strength and gives them energy. So valuing other people is what's top of my mind. I just sometimes feel like it's not out there because sometimes it's too noisy. People have to get to that one-on-one and go to lunch with someone and get to know them and learn about their business. I would also say time is very valuable. Time is limited, so whatever connections you're making, when you're gonna meet with them, you want to make sure you send them a text or get their phone number, send them an email. A lot of people will show up to meet someone and they're not there, so I always say you have to do the follow-up. Follow-up is a very good part of growing your business and having that value of time.
