People often say, “You’re so lucky,” and while I know they mean it as a compliment, I can’t help but smile and gently correct them. I am not lucky. I am stubborn. I am the kind of stubborn that does not let go of a goal just because it is taking longer than expected. I am the kind of stubborn that trusts my gut even when the room says otherwise. I have learned that the hard way to hold onto my instincts, to believe in my voice, and to see my own value even in spaces where others might not.
That kind of mindset is not luck. It is resilience. It is discipline. It is faith.
Yes, I work hard. I show up early, I stay late, I give everything I have whether I am working on a new project, helping a client solve a problem, or brainstorming what is next for my business. But even hard work only explains part of the story. The real answer to “how I do it” is not found in chance or luck. It is found in grace. I am blessed.
Blessed to run a business that aligns with my purpose. Jarvis Consultants was never about just paying the bills. It was about building something meaningful that supports small and mid-size businesses, lifts entrepreneurs, and creates space for innovation, strategy, and real growth. That did not happen by luck. It happened because I followed the pull in my heart, surrounded myself with people who kept me focused, and leaned on faith when fear tried to creep in.
I am also blessed with family and friends who keep me grounded. They remind me of who I am when the noise of the world gets too loud. They remind me that success does not have to mean sacrificing joy, and that I do not have to do it all alone. My circle is filled with encouragers, truth-tellers, and ride-or-dies and they are one of the biggest reasons I keep going. That kind of support is not lucky either. It is intentional. I nurture those relationships, I give just as much as I receive, and I choose connection over comparison every single time.
So no, I do not believe in luck not when it comes to why I have made it this far. I believe in showing up even when it is hard. I believe in trusting myself when others don’t. I believe in choosing the path that is aligned with who I am, even if it is not the easiest one. And I believe that when you are walking in your purpose, God meets you with just enough light to take the next step even when the path ahead is not clear.
If you think I am lucky, thank you. But know that underneath what looks like luck is a whole lot of heart, hustle, and blessings that I never take for granted.
And if you are out there building something of your own, let this be your reminder: you don’t need luck. You just need faith, focus, and the fire to keep going.
