“I really care. Sometimes, that’s my downfall because it gives me anxiety when things aren’t working well. But I truly care about my clients. I care about their success, especially working with small brands. These people are bootstrapping. So if I screw up, that’s their money. I’ve just always cared about maintaining relationships. Loyalty is very important to me. I think it has served me well because maintaining editorial relationships & keeping your clients happy is essential.”

“Designing your life instead of just accepting this thing that this cookie-cutter life plan we’ve been given is one of the challenges most of us have to face. We often ask how we can afford our lives when the real question we should be asking is how we can, I, design my life and build an income that matches it? Start unlocking things that are right and of value to you. When you ask the right questions, you will definitely be given better answers.”

“And it’s like what Viktor Frankl says in ‘Man’s Search for Meaning,’ between stimulus and response. There is a choice. And that was something I was never taught as a child.

Now, the one that supersedes through that trifecta is the challenge, in every area. I challenge people and myself to rise into our highest and best versions.”

“Owning a small business comes with a lot of responsibility. It starts by being able to relinquish control for the greater good of your employees. Once you’ve hired and built an organization that meets your core values, keep in mind that you have to maintain their growth and nurture your employees to be the best of their capabilities. Your team members are your priority. Together this creates a stable and progressive business that is beneficial to all.”

“We all at one point are going to face circumstances that will break us. It can be the death of someone dear to us, financial disability, heartache, or even health problems. But these circumstances don’t determine who you are, but how you respond to them. It’s what you do next that matters. Plan, Do, Adjust.”

“Tattooing marks people for life. If done in a positive & mindful manner, then the person who’s getting tattooed will remember this experience in a positive manner for the rest of their life. Business-wise, it has compounding effects. For the rest of their life, all of the tattoo shop, artists, conventions, in some ways, tattoo-supply companies, & all of their clients will remember that story when people are deliberate about making a positive experience.
