Gianna Brandofino | CEO of INNER-NET, Intuitive Spiritual Guide, Reiki Master, Yoga Teacher, Astrologer, Writer

This question stands out to me so much because now more than ever the world is in this very pivotal space regarding success and how this is understood as a collective society. For a long time, I was holding on to the understanding that success was measured by money or achievements, especially pertaining to work, career, etc. We live in a world that tells us in so many direct and indirect ways that the more we “do” the better. After not only starting my own businesses but, walking my spiritual path of self discovery, I have uncovered an entirely different truth. Read more>>

There are many important factors behind the success of my business and my brand. First step is to identify my niche, who is my target audience and how do I cater to them? Second important factor is to remain authentic. I would lose all my passion and all my drive for what I do if I was not being authentically me, following my authentic sense of style or duplicating something that is not true to me. Lastly, probably the most valuable is discipline. Read more>>

Peter Perello | Designer

Great Question! I think behind every great brand there needs to be an even greater person x team. People don’t become successful overnight, it takes time. In many ways to build a brand and a message that conveys something that’s different but similar and personal to someone it takes more than just money or “clout”, clout can’t touch someone’s soul it can only magnify your ego. So the most important factor to my success is my faith and foundation who is Christ and the most important factor behind the success of my brand is most definitely the community that’s built around it.
