Describe how you set goals and evaluate your success.
I set goals by approaching a task with the confidence that I can achieve anything I set out to do. I invest in the time it takes, no matter if it requires a thousand hours of practice to be an expert [at anything]. Whether baking or massage therapy, business success is often measured by customer satisfaction. I evaluate my success based on customer feedback and knowing the customer is happy and returning for business.
Why is lifelong learning important to you?
Lifelong learning is important because I am a serial entrepreneur. Because things consistently change, there is always a new niche that I will find valuable. Any environment that breeds success will never standstill.
Name your favorite role models for success in two different industries.
My favorite role models are two of my cousins, Hortencia Ratcliff, a fierce and powerful entrepreneur in the health wellness spectrum. Hortencia leads by always putting her best foot forward, showing women how to be leaders, while building a beautiful legacy. My cousin, Rasheedah McClenon, is an extraordinary activist and businesswoman. I draw inspiration from her by watching how she handles every situation with confidence and charisma. Rasheedah is by far an inspiration because of her willingness to go above and beyond for her people.
