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

Hi KRISTEN, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
The most important lesson I would have to say is…”Pour into your purpose, not into people.” You have to be relentless in your vision and sometimes people, their thoughts/opinions or ideals can be a distraction, It’s so important to not lose focus of the goal and to always remain business minded and not personal. Trivial matters don’t belong in business! By employing this frame of thought I have been able to procure an extensive network and that directly builds netWORTH.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
How many hats does it take to get to the center of success? The world may never know!! I crack up when people ask me what I do—-because I do a lot… so hold on tight here goes!! By day I am a part of the Implementation/Training/Development of a major Pharmaceutical Software Company and CEO of the non-profit Ladies In Pursuit of Success Inc. By night and weekend I am a Pharmacy Student ( PharmD + PA-C in progress), Mentor, and Sauce Innovator. I will officially be launching my Life Coaching business as an extension to my mentorship practices as well as my Pharmacy Consulting Firm by the end of the year….alongside a few other projects. I am like a shark— I never stop—-

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.
First of all— do not judge me because I am definitely a foodie!!! Eat & Drink: Casa Sensei Tatts and Tacos Shooters PubBelly Js Kitchen Burgers n Suds BlackRock Bar and Grille Sugar Rush Bakery ( on University) Blue Ocean Bakery — by Req Only Mojo Doughnuts Ghirardelli for brownies Hang Out: The Garden—food is awesome too Top Golf Berry Farm in Doral Venetian Pool The Blu Lagoon in Orlando Lagoon in Naples Ripleys

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Pamelia Stewart (Mother), Icylin, R Murdock (late Grandmother), Sean + Marlon Stewart (brothers), Annette + Wenford Murdock (Aunt and Uncle) These people are responsible for every bit of my story and my success. They taught me to love the good and bad in others, keep your faith in your arsenal, pursuit with purpose brings pleasure, hard work opens the door to smart work, be seen and not heard, know more than you speak, set your target further than the goal. Oh and —- on time is late ( I am still working on that one!!!)
