Money is the Anthem of Success

But Patience is the Key to Success. . .

I'm at a really happy place in my life! I'm now working for a temp agency as a substitute teacher. I prefer this temporary role over a full time position because of the flexibility I have over my work schedule and my ability to work with children again. 

Yes, of course, I'm still involved in fashion! I'm currently juggling between the two careers. When I'm not subbing with the temp agency, I'm out at the office working with 4 Seasons Style Management. I like to keep busy, I feel as though I accomplish a lot when I am active. 

In order to get the proper experience needed to prosper in my career I have to work for others. While doing this, I must also keep in mind that my first priority is me! I am my number one client, if I don't take care of myself, who will? 

It's is so easy to get caught up in the fast life and expecting everything to come quick. I've realized that in this business patience is truly a virtue and your reputation is everything! No, really your reputation is all you have. Everything travels by word of mouth in this industry so I maintain my professionalism at all times. 

So, if it's what you want and things just aren't working out how you expected, continue to hold on. It will get better, remember patience and faith will bring you much success. Stay focus and grind like it's no tomorrow! 

My Wife and Kids

It's always nice to reminince on the past. I enjoy looking back on life and remembering all of the good times I shared, with some of the most amazing people in the world! This past weekend I had a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with some old friends. We celebrated the birth of a new life, new beginnings and our newly found happiness. 

I never knew how much fun a baby shower could be, I guess everything is a celebration when your hanging out with best friends like mine! Prior to the baby shower, we all went shopping for some fantastic gifts together. We were so shocked, we couldn't believe we were actually shopping for baby shower gifts. It was also a little overwhelming if you ask me. I was amazed and I am still amazed at the women, wives, and adults we have grown to be since college. 

I love to reminance over times like these to see how far I've come. I imagine myself growing older each day but sistuations like this will always make me more aware. No matter how far you go in life or how much success you consume, it's good to reference back to your friends, family, and whatever situations that may have turned you into the person you are today. 

If I Was Your Best Friend

I've never had the type of personality to use others. I never thought it was necessary to use someone to get something that I wanted. I've always had a stickler, go getter personality. Even as a child, I remember knowing what I wanted and going after it, but it was always genuine and kindhearted. I could never understand how people would use each other by pretending to care. If I dislike someone, it's probably because I dislike their ways. I have the ability to read personalities and once I see someone's true colors my mind is then set. 

I simply love working as a team in any form of group setting. I can appreciate the connections, the team effort, and the ability to share ideas. But, I am not capable of stealing someone else's idea and running with it as if it was my own. I do believe ideas are created from other ideas, that is why I enjoy working in group settings. When working in these specific settings the relationships should be built of trust. All relationships should be built of trust, not just personal relationship but, friendships and "business-ships" as well. 

Do you think it's possible to make it in this "dog eat dog world" without using others for your personal success? How do you continue to build your net worth without loosing your integrity? 

It Cost Me A Lot! ! !

Why is it is so easy to loose focus on the things that matter? It's so challenging to go after the things we want from life but, it so easy to give up and let go. Would you consider letting go a form of quitting? Maybe, depending on the situation. I would never consider myself a quitter, I have to much pride for that. Although, I am the type of women that will no longer do things because I just don't want to. Should I still be labeled a quitter because of that?

I absolutely despise this statement "in order to get where you want to be, you have to do things you don't want to do". But, why is it that I should have to suffer in uncomfortable situations in order to be successful in life. If there is something that I don't like, I'm changing it. If I'm around someone I don't like, I'm leaving them. If I'm working at a place I no longer want to, I'm quitting simple as that. 

Should I be punished for my actions because of this? Am I trying to alter my road to success? Or am I just impatient and think things should go how I want them to? 

Honestly, am I really the only person that feels this way?
