To me, success is getting what you propose to get, it's having a project and make it grow, getting a better, happier and healthier life.
What do I call my personal success? The progress I've made here in SuicideGirls since I joined, in my youtube channel, in my job and my personal life. And now the question is, how did I get all that to reach this point? What did I do?
1) Stay strong:
I always knew what I wanted, since I was little, and went direct to get it no matter what. Sometimes it was really hard and it took long, but I just needed to learn more and never leaving it.
2) Do everything by myself:
It's impossible to do absolutely everything by yourself, but if I can do anything without depending of anyone else, I do it for sure.
I hate to depend of others, no matter what is it for, because it always make thing more slow, and sometimes more annoying and with a worse result. I'm talking about buisness, projects that are highly important for me and whose I don't want to be altered by anyone.
3) Enjoy what I do:
This may sound obvious, but it's not. I've seen so many people who starts a buisness or a project just because they though it was going to be easy and/or give them big and fast profit, and they usually end giving up because profit don't come as fast as they imagined, or never come. People notice when you don't love your work, when you don't put passion in it and you have bad results.
When something means a lot for you, you put all your effort in it and really don't care if it's going to give you profit because it fills your soul. Feeling happy and satisfied is way more important than people could think when it comes to work.
4) Be shameless:
The world works fast, direct and firm. You can't go ahead if you're scared or put your head down.
5) Be always kind, and never stupid:
If you get support from people, they will be the key to keep having success in your projects. If they have any doubt or question for me I always reply and try to help, if they are polite and kind of course. But being a public figure does NOT mean one person have to deal with rude attitudes, or sexual harassment. If someone comes being disrespectful and can't really dialogue with them, I simply block without asking, and move on.
