Success is whatever the individual’s success is in their head. There is no right or wrong, when it comes to defining success. My version of success may be different than the next.

I am a self-starter, as I became my own entrepreneur. I had an idea and didn’t use anyone else’s. This innovation that I created was solely from my brain and using my resources. I used my own currency, images, and designs to create my brand. I don’t wait on anyone to give me a sign to start creations. Being a self-starter is a key trait to have as an entrepreneur.
