R: How would you describe your journey of becoming the woman and CEO you are today?
K: In life and during my business path, I have faced many challenges, achieved numerous triumphs, and learnt many lessons. I wouldn't change a thing, even if it hasn't always been easy. I've met some incredible individuals and learnt a lot. I consider myself to be a work in progress since I continue to develop and evolve every day. I am constantly striving to be the best version of myself.
R: What would you say is most rewarding in what you do?
K: I feel the most rewarding moments are seeing the growth and impact my work has on my clients. Whether it’s empowering women through dance or teaching them how to build their businesses, I am most fulfilled when they reach their goals.
R: What advice would you give someone who wants to transition from being an employee to entrepreneur?
K: The first step is to find your “why” and keep that at the forefront of your mind each and every day. Create a plan, set realistic goals for yourself, and execute them. There will never be a “right” time to become an entrepreneur, but it doesn’t have to be a huge, scary leap. Seek the advice of mentors and coaches that are already where you want to be and that can provide wise counsel during your entrepreneurship journey.
R: What are three traits you feel an entrepreneur must have?
R: Why do you what you do?
K: Because I have been called to serve. God has blessed me beyond measure and I know I’m here to make a positive impact on the world.
R: How do you measure success?
LK: By defining what success means on my own terms and then constantly working towards exceeding my goals.
R: 100 years from now when people learn about you, what do you want to be known for?
K:I want to be known for uplifting and creating a safe space for women to thrive in both life and business as well as positively impacting my community.
R: How do you persist in the face of challenges within your business?
L: I know that when I face a challenging situation, it’s because there is a lesson I’m meant to learn, and God is preparing me for something that I cannot see. I evaluate the situation and make a determination of the best path forward but always reflect on what I learned.
R: Give three tips to new business owners, and leaders.
L: There are no failures, only lessons. Surround yourself with people that are already where you want to be so that you can elevate. Don’t quit!
K: Determination, Courage, Focus
