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

Hi Susan, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Habits that helped me succeed was staying in my own lane. I chose to work by myself before growing a team. I also was consistent in obtaining my clientele. I “showed” up, monthly, to try and gain business.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am proud that I was diligent in believing I could someday make this a full time career while making guests feel confident and beautiful. I started this business with just tanning melanoma patients and now have a team and a storefront. It was not easy but I was all the way in. I gave my heart and soul to this and I believed in myself. Lessons that I have learned is to never worry about competition as it takes the focus off of my business.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I am not from Miami so I am not sure this matters. Downtown Stuart is a pleasant town with all different kinds of restaurants and boutiques. I love the beach and boating so that is what we would be doing, of course smothered in SPF.
