Ten minutes with Hope
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think what's made me successful is staying intentional, staying organized, and always trying to be a step ahead. For example, being a licensed cosmetologist and being a business owner, making sure all of my paperwork is accurate, making sure everything is updated, making sure I'm always staying up on my CE hours when it is time to renew the cosmetology license. And just staying intentional with anybody who has sat in my chair, or anybody who, you know, I've just ran in crossing. So just staying intentional and organized would be the answer to that for me.
