1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Whato. Guys, thank you for tuning into another episode of

2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Cheeky's and Chill. I know your favorite podcast. I want

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: to top on the mic today to talk about success,

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: everything from what it means to me, to some of

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: the steps I've taken to achieve it, and lastly what

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: you can do to increase your chances of success. So

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: let's get into it. This is Cheeky's and Chill. Well.

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: First of all, success is such an interesting topic because

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: it means something different to everyone. To me, it means well,

10
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: you would think, okay, oh, success could be a lot

11
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of luxury things, material things, materialistic things, and in reality,

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: in my heart of hearts, it's going to sleep every

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: day and knowing that I did something good today for

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the world, not just for myself, but also for the

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: world that I'm making a change in the world. That

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: is my definition of success. For those of you that

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: have followed me for a long time, I've used the

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: phrase boss B and I've explained it before where BOSS

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: is short for built on self success and what does

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: that mean? Built on the things that I do on

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: a daily basis for myself internally, for my mind, for

22
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: my body, for my soul, to be better, to be

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the best version of myself always with the help of

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: God in my faith, and you guys know how important

25
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: that is to me. And then b Bee is Babe

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: embracing evolution, embracing growth and changes and not being afraid

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: of changing because that's what makes us grow. And growth

28
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: is not always the most comfortable, but I feel that

29
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: it is necessary. If you're not growing, if you're not

30
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: evolving every single day and changing into hopefully a better

31
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: version of yourself, then you're not living, is how I

32
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: see it, you know. So success to me is going

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: to sleep tranquila knowing that I didn't hurt anybody, and

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: if I did, being able to get my ego out

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: of the way and apologize, and just being centered in myself,

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: in my authentic self. That is success in doing something

37
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: not only that makes me happy, but that also feeds

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: the world. So again, success is a very heavy word

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: because a lot of people think money right away, like, oh,

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm successful because I'm financially stable, and maybe, yeah, that

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: could be good, but are you using that money for

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: good things also to help other people? You know, those

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: are questions you have to ask yourself, like only you

44
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: know what your definition of success is. But I wanted

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: to share with you guys, because a lot of people

46
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: always ask me, cheeky's what is your secret to success?

47
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: And I've shared this and it's not a secret to

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: all of my listeners. God. God for me is my faith,

49
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: the universe, the moving force of the world of you

50
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like that is super important to

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: me on a daily basis to have a connection. It's that,

52
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: but also routine, you guys. Routine is so important. It's

53
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: doing something consistently. For me, it's I do my best

54
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: to wake up early. I drink a glass of water,

55
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: I meditate, I pray, I center myself for about forty

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: five minutes to an hour. I work out. That is

57
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: part of my daily routine. Of course, brushing your teeth

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But it's it's important to maybe

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: even maybe for you, it'll be journaling. Doing something consistently

60
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: takes a lot of discipline, you guys. Hear a lot

61
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: of people like, oh, it's hard work. Of course, it's

62
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: hard work, but it's it's discipline at the end of

63
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: the day. It's routine is doing something over and over.

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: It requires a lot of discipline from you to say, oh,

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: instead of going out. I know I have to wake

66
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: up early tomorrow because that's part of my routine and

67
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that's what's going to make me feel better. That's what's

68
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: going to help me succeed. And it's being able to

69
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: sacrifice as well and saying no to things and two

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: events and to people and to sometimes even yourself when

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: your body, your flesh, desires to do something that is

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: going to knock you off of your routine of what

73
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: you do. So sometimes there's something I'm like, no, I

74
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: want to go to that dinner, but it's a little

75
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: too late, and I already know I'm going to be tired,

76
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to wake up to go to

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: the gym at six in the morning, and it's just

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: gonna knock me like like, I'm just it's no, I'll

79
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: just wait till the weekend. Don't get me wrong. I

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: like to drink. I like to party, but thous with temple.

81
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, for me, it's first comes first. I do

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: my best Monday through Friday to just follow my routine.

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: That means in every way, like even eating better, telling

84
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: myself not to eat too late. And it's not I'm

85
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: not perfect, you guys, I'm not saying that I do

86
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: this every single day. No, there are times where I

87
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: just I won't wake up. For instance, two days ago,

88
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: I was supposed to go to the gym at five

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: in the morning, and I woke up and I texted

90
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: my trainer and I was like, I cannot wake up.

91
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: My body was saying I need to rest, and it

92
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: did kind of bother me. I felt like a little guilty.

93
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my God, like you could have

94
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: done it, but I'm like, no, my body at that

95
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: moment was asking for rest. So sometimes you have to

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: listen into your body, or sometimes you just it's okay

97
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: to just get distracted. But it's all about being able

98
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: to have the discipline to get yourself back on track.

99
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Another thing people ask the other time is how I

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: stay motivated. It's not feeling like you know it all.

101
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: For instance, I want to Latin grammys. I could say, Okay,

102
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna sit on my ass and I already

103
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: did what I had to do. It's like, no, like

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: you have to have that hunger within yourself to say

105
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: I want to learn more about my craft. Knowledge is power, you, guys.

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: Knowledge is power. I can't say it enough the more

107
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you learn and take classes, online, classes, courses, whatever for

108
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: you to grow in your craft, that gives you so

109
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: much more confidence in what you do. Like for me,

110
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm still taking vocal classes. You know what

111
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: I mean. I want to learn more, I want to

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: grow more. I'm taking different type of vocal classes now,

113
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: like I'm doing breath work, I'm doing chakra work, and

114
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: it's another step. I mean, you think, oh, I already

115
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: know what I need to know of singing, but in reality,

116
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: it's like, no, I want to be better on stage.

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I want to be able to jump and sing at

118
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: the same time and dance at the same time, because

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: dancing and singing at the same time is very hard.

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm learning all that, so I think that's very important.

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: That keeps me motivated. If you just sit there and

122
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I know everything already, I'm good, I

123
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: made it, I'm successful. I could have just said that

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: and be like, Okay, cool, I made it. I'm done. No,

125
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: that's when you get bored and you lose that passion.

126
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: So in order to continue having that fire within yourself

127
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: to try to be the best, not better than anyone else,

128
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: but better than you were, yesterday. You have to be willing,

129
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: that's the word. You have to be willing to want

130
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: to grow and want to learn more about whatever it

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: is that you're doing, you know what I mean. So

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: that's what keeps me more motivated obviously on my boss

133
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: bees and the messages is that you guys send me

134
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: and all the love that I received from you guys,

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: that you have no idea how good that makes me feel.

136
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: And it makes me feel like, damn, I'm on the

137
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: right track, I'm doing the right thing. It keeps me inspired,

138
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: It keeps me motivated. So just you have to love

139
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 1: what you do and you have to have a passion

140
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: for it. And instead of looking at it as a

141
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: paycheck and all I get paid for it, it's really

142
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: saying what is the mission behind what I'm doing? You know?

143
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: For me, it's I want to be able to do

144
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: something good, yes for myself and that I love, but

145
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: also how I can help other people. All of that

146
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: in conjunction keeps me motivated. And here's another thing I'm

147
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: sure you guys have heard in our Latin culture. I

148
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: don't know, I've heard it a lot, the maic onj okay,

149
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: which means tell me who you hang out with, and

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you who you are. And for a long

151
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: time I didn't understand it, especially when I was younger.

152
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm not going to be like

153
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: my friends. I'm not a follower. I'm a leader, you know.

154
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: But in reality, it's I'm not saying that you can't

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: hang out because I have friends, you know, I'll tell

156
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: you guys here secretly, but I have certain friends that

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with everything that they do, and

158
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: I can't necessarily hang out with them every single day

159
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: because I just feel like it's a type of person

160
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: that I love from Afar, but I love they what

161
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: we do together because we can do business together, but

162
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,119
Speaker 1: like on like a more spiritual level, it's a little

163
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: oh no, a little bit like it might be a

164
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: little bit too much for me. And I had caught

165
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: myself hanging out with this one particular person and I

166
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: won't say any names, a little too much and I

167
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: started kind of doing certain things that we're kind of

168
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: out of my character because she was doing it sort

169
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: of thing, you know. So I do think that it

170
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: is important for you to be aware more than anything.

171
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you have to stay away from everyone,

172
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: but especially like your inner circle, like the people that

173
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: you talk to the most on a daily basis. It

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: is important to surround yourself with people that are on

175
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: the same frequency, even your partner, like the person that

176
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: you're with your significant other. I think it is important

177
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: that you guys are at least in understanding. But for me,

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm careful with what and who I follow on social media.

179
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: Even I have to protect my energy, you know, if

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: I feel that someone isn't feeding me. I just unfollowed

181
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: someone yesterday that I had been following for years that

182
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: she was just She's been posting so many negative things

183
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: and I'm just like I was getting bothered. I felt

184
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: like every time I would have come across one of

185
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: her posts, I'm like, this doesn't feel right, Like I'm

186
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: just I don't like what she's saying and how she's

187
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: talking about this other person. So I unfollowed and I

188
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: feel fine with it. I said, yeah, this is giving

189
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: me peace, Like I want to see things on my

190
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: feed that make me smile, that inspire me. I follow

191
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: a lot of success pages, a lot of motivational pages,

192
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: quote pages, a lot of people and girls that are influencers,

193
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: but I like the way they do things, and I'm like, Okay,

194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: I want to do things better myself on my Instagram.

195
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: So I've learned, especially now that I'm more mature, that

196
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: the people that are in my inner circle, the people

197
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: that I follow on social media, because believe it or not,

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: whether you want to admit it or not, what we

199
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: see on social media affects us. Social media can give

200
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: us anxiety and depression because we're saying, well, why do

201
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: you know they have that and I don't, and blah

202
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: blah blah. So it's important for you to feed yourself

203
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: with good things. Especially on TikTok. You guys like, because

204
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: you watch one video, you're gonna get a bunch of

205
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: the same videos. It just does that, you know. So

206
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: that's one thing to just you know, a little side note.

207
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: But going back to like friends and family and people

208
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: that I mean, I admire a lot of different women,

209
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: and a lot of the women that I've admired for

210
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: years are kind of like what I want to be

211
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: my own version of that, the Oprahs of the world,

212
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama, I've said it before, Sarah Jakes Roberts. I

213
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: follow so many different women. I mean, I can go

214
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: on and on, but I think it is important for

215
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: you to keep that in mind because if you want

216
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: to be a successful person, you got to figure out

217
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: first your definition of success. Because mine is very different

218
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: from a lot of people I know. But if you

219
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: just got to figure that out, it's finding your who

220
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: so that you can find your way. What do I

221
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: want to do in this world? What footprint do I

222
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: want to leave? What's my mission? Once you find your who,

223
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: you find your way. Once you find your way, then

224
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, who am I going to follow? Who

225
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: am I going? Who do I want to admire? Who

226
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: am I going to leave behind or set to the

227
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: side in order for me to reach this goal. So

228
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: got to ask yourself all those questions. And it does

229
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: hurt sometimes because you do have to leave certain people

230
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: behind that you love but aren't necessarily good for you.

231
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: We've talked about that as well on my podcast. But

232
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: it's all that stuff and the best advice I can

233
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: give you, guys, if you are trying to reach a

234
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: certain goal. I mean, obviously, if we were doing Dear

235
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: Cheeky's and you were asking me a specific question, I

236
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: could answer it better. But I think it's important to

237
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: know one thing. Like, for instance, let's go back to

238
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: you know, when I started my career, I started as

239
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: an assistant and I've worked my way up, you know,

240
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: So I think you have to be willing to know

241
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: that you need to start from started from the bottom.

242
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: Now we're here and I'm kidding, but like, you have

243
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: to kind of understand that it's going to be difficult,

244
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not just gonna come easy,

245
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: or maybe it will. Maybe it's just a miracle and

246
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a blessing. I feel that I've been able to savor

247
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 1: and enjoy and appreciate things more Brguemen Costallo because it

248
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: hasn't been that easy for me. But even with like

249
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: my Salon, it was very hard to let go. It

250
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: was my first baby. I had put everything into it

251
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: and I had to know it's okay. And this is

252
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna sound weird, but to know what success is, you guys,

253
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: real success, you have to know what failure is. And

254
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: you can't be afraid a failure. You have to learn

255
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: the lesson behind that situation, behind the pain of losing something,

256
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: of losing someone, of failing at something. And I was

257
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: holding onto that because of pride because of all that,

258
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: for all the wrong reasons, I was holding onto my

259
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: salon for four years. I did not make it, made

260
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: me no money. It just caused me so much headache.

261
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: But it was my ego of like, no, I'm not

262
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: gonna lose this. I'm not gonna you know, I'm gonna

263
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: make this work until I let it go, and I

264
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I felt like like a ton of

265
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: bricks that were removed from my shoulders and I felt

266
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: so much better. So I think it's just knowing what

267
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: your goal is and knowing, Okay, there will be obstacles

268
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: in the path, there will be bumps on the road,

269
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: but once I get over them through those hard moments,

270
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: I know that the grass is greener on the other side,

271
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I know that once

272
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I get through all of this, things will be better,

273
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: you know. And like I said earlier, you will have

274
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: bad days and bad moments and sad days because I

275
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: have them as well, But you got to shake that

276
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: shit off. Like literally, there are times where I literally

277
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: shake my whole body. I'm like I'm shaking off all

278
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: the bad energy and I'm like gonna throw it out

279
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: the window. And sometimes I'm even driving and I'm like okay,

280
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like anxious and I'm like okay, God, and

281
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: I start shaking my hands and I just throw it

282
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: out of the window. Literally, I throw it all out

283
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: of the window. And I think it's like a mental

284
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: thing or I'm more of like a visual type of

285
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: person like, so when I do that and I just

286
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: shake it out of the window, I'm like, Okay, I'm

287
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna feel better. And it's all like constantly giving yourself therapy. Okay,

288
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: and if you can go to therapy, like I always

289
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: say go. But anyways, that's the best advice I can

290
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: give you, guys, because this is a question that I'm

291
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: asked all the time in interviews by friends and people

292
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: ask me, how are you so strong? Cheeky's and trust me,

293
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I feel that I've been through a lot and I

294
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: am very strong, but I do have weak moments, you guys.

295
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: I also cry. I also want to give up some

296
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: times that I'm like no, I know that my mission

297
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: here on Earth and what I meant to do is

298
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: so much bigger than this moment, than this sadness, than

299
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: this disappointment that I do not let it detour me

300
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: too much, so I wanted to share this. I hope

301
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: you guys did enjoy this episode. I love you, guys,

302
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Thank you so much for listening. Just

303
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: before I hopped on, I was thanking God for you guys,

304
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: and thanking God for every single person that takes the

305
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: time to listen to Cheeky's and Chill, and I will

306
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,360
