We had the good fortune of connecting with Carline Phanor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carline, what is the most important factor behind your success?

The most important factor behind my success and the success of my brand is consistency. Consistently working hard, staying focused on my goals, and never giving up on my dreams has been crucial. It’s not just about having a great idea or creating a quality award winning product, but it’s also about consistently putting in the effort and dedication required to make that idea or product successful. By setting and meeting daily goals, I’ve been able to build momentum, make progress, and ultimately achieve success. Consistency has allowed me to establish a strong brand identity, build trust with customers, and deliver consistent quality that keeps them coming back for more. It’s the foundation upon which my success has been built.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
The most important lesson my business/career has taught me is the importance of not allowing oneself to be distracted by the noise and opinions of others. When pursuing a creative or artistic career, it is easy to be influenced or discouraged by the opinions and judgments of others. However, I have learned that staying true to my own vision and passion is vital for success.

There will always be people who doubt or criticize your choices, but it is crucial to believe in yourself and your abilities. I have learned that it is important to stay focused on my own goals and aspirations, disregarding the negative opinions that may try to detract from my path. By staying true to my own creative instincts, I have been able to carve out my own unique niche and create a brand that truly reflects my artistic vision.

Ultimately, the most important lesson my business has taught me is to have confidence in myself and my abilities, and to not allow the opinions of others to dictate my creative journey. Trusting my instincts and staying true to my own passion has been essential in pursuing a successful artistic career.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Last week, I had the pleasure of showing my friend around Miami while he was visiting. We had been planning this trip for a while, and I was excited to introduce him to all the vibrant aspects of this city. Little did he know that Miami had a lot more to offer than just its beautiful beaches.

We started our week with a sunny day at Fort Lauderdale beach. The crystal-clear blue waters and warm sand instantly put us in a relaxed mood. We spent hours soaking up the sun, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying refreshing cocktails. As the day progressed, we noticed dark clouds gathering overhead, and within minutes, a sudden downpour began. Miami’s unpredictable weather never fails to surprise!

Not letting the rain dampen our spirits, we decided to explore Miami’s culinary scene. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I took my friend to some of my favorite Haitian restaurants. The flavors of the island came alive in our mouths as we devoured delicious traditional dishes. We couldn’t resist adding some Men Pa’w Gourmet Hot sauce for that extra kick of flavor. Sharing these delicious meals with my friend truly made me appreciate the simple pleasure of good food and great company.

One evening, we headed to Wynwood, an artistic neighborhood known for its vibrant street art and trendy galleries. The colorful and captivating murals told stories of Miami’s diverse culture and history. We wandered through the streets, immersing ourselves in the creative atmosphere. We were fortunate to stumble upon a local artist’s art exhibition, where we got to witness firsthand the raw talent and passion of Miami’s artistic community. It was an inspiring experience that left us both feeling inspired and appreciative of the art scene in Miami.

As the week went on, my friend and I realized that we needed a night out to relax and have some fun. After some consideration, we decided that going out dancing would be the perfect way to let loose. Luckily, my friend Tasha had invited me to a private party called “PVInMiami” that she was hosting at Blue Martini. We were both excited to attend.

The party took place on a sunny Sunday afternoon, providing the perfect ambiance for a lively gathering. As we entered Blue Martini, we were greeted by the sounds of various genres of music, including Kompa, afrobeats, and zouk. The dance floor was already packed with people, swaying to the rhythm and enjoying themselves.

Not only was the music fantastic, but the food and drinks offered by Blue Martini added to the overall experience. We indulged in delicious appetizers and sipped on creative cocktails that perfectly complemented the energetic atmosphere. The combination of great music, great food, and great company made for a memorable night of dancing enjoyment and a great vibe.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
As a matter of fact, I like to give credit and recognition in my story to my older brother Lesly and my Son Sebastien who inspired me. Their dedication and support inspire me to strive for greatness. Their unwavering commitment to my business, even while juggling their own daily life responsibilities, showcases their selflessness and belief in our shared goals. The mindset my brother instills in me, emphasizing the power of the mind, has taught me the value of perseverance and determination. I am incredibly grateful to have such supportive and motivating individuals in my life. Their inspiration continues to guide and propel me towards success. Besides them, I also find inspiration in nature’s beauty and the kindness and compassion I witness in others. These sources of inspiration fuel my drive and encourage me to keep pushing forward.”
