We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
The best advice I would give is to be persistent and consistent. Don’t be afraid to fail. If you do fail, dust yourself off and try again because you don’t fail if you learn a valuable lesson from it.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with KC Makeup Academy – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I am most proud of my makeup brand I trademarked this year Kamilla Cosmetics.
I am not only a makeup artist but a beauty educator as well.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts or other resources that you’ve benefited from using?
Yes, Gary Vanderchuck, his writings have inspired and motivated me along the way. He’s the truth. Everything he talks about in business always rings true to me and I go and apply it to my life and business. He’s my mentor in my head or online even if I’ve never met him before.
