Consistency is the key
Many dreams work for it and fail largely because of their inability to stay focused and consistent. Aicha says her habit of staying consistent through thick and thin while setting up her business, and giving her best shot each day helped her achieve success “I was very passionate about meeting goals and being consistent was key in doing so.” consistency is vital for success as it helps you stay focused in the present while maintaining a long term vision.
Resistance to negative feelings
Negative emotions and feelings during difficult moments can consume you. Dealing with them with intelligence, so that they do not affect your progress is a skill that Aicha has acquired and she believes it has helped her grow exponentially. “I had a lot of difficult moments that I had to learn to put my feelings aside and keep going regardless of what was going on around me.”
Overcoming the negativity of setbacks and failures, or the difficult situations in life with positivity and a mindset to learn from them is the way to conquer your life’s direction.
Believing in self
Having faith in your skills and abilities is important to flourish in life. Aicha believed in herself and that belief led her to take the daunting step of setting up her own business. That belief drove her to the astounding heights of success in the beauty and lash business. She firmly believes that the first step you ought to take to achieve your dream is to start believing in your abilities and have confidence in yourself. Fears, doubts, and self-sabotaging behaviors won’t change your life, but your faith in yourself surely will.
