The keys to becoming successful today, I am grateful for my success in both my career and life. I believe my uniqueness lies in the way I do things differently. As a woman of action, I make the impossible possible by working hard and efficiently, even in unexpected situations. My positive energy and mindset naturally attract people towards me, emanating confidence. I don't consider myself lucky; rather, it took more than 15 years of hard work to reach this level of success, especially in America, where survival and hustling were crucial. I have always believed in myself to achieve my goals, and I'm proud of my accomplishments so far; there's much more to come. While some people may be born bright or lucky, the rest of us, including myself, must work harder. To be successful, one must be an active participant in their life and take charge of their destiny with the conviction that tomorrow will be better than today. Your actions will shape your future, and life is about making choices.
The strongest factor for success is self-esteem: believing that you can do it, deserve it, and will achieve it. Maintain faith no matter the time it takes, keep focusing, and persevere. Success is about doing ordinary things extraordinarily well, standing out, and pushing beyond your comfort zone in this competitive world. As far as I am concerned, I always strive to be out of the box, be extraordinary and never limit myself.
The power of a positive mindset and attitude can lead to success, along with consistency, practice, and discipline. Sometimes even the consistency itself is the greatest success and what people remember. Dream big, start doing the small stuff well. Repeat every day.
Be a risk-taker: Taking risks is essential for success; without courage, nothing will be accomplished.
Showing up is an essential part (80%) of being successful. Sometimes all you need to win is to be the one to show up. Sometimes it is just showing up at the right time and place. Other times it is showing up again and again. At networking events, at pitch nights so forth… it only takes one opportunity to change your life.
Success is not just about personal achievements but also about inspiring and being a role model for others. Representation matters for next generation. You have to touch people's heart for them to understand the real value that you are bringing to them and be credible. Experience cant be bought, it has to be lived and speak for itself through your emotion you bring out. It plays a significant role in credibility and influence.
Here are 12 keys to success

Never give up, destiny awaits!
