“Believe in yourself, even when others don’t fully understand your vision. Your dreams were given to you for a reason. Whether you want to be a lash tech, a doctor, a chef, or an entrepreneur, go after it with everything you’ve got. It won’t always be easy, but consistency, passion, and hard work will take you far. Don’t wait for the ‘perfect time’ to start—begin where you are, with what you have. And remember, success isn’t just about money or fame."
