We recently connected with Mary Velazquez and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Mary with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
As a daughter of an immigrant and single mom I feel the drive and dedication work ethic came from my mother. I am the oldest of 5 siblings. My mother had me at a very young age she was always a single parent, she worked long hours and days to provide for her children .She was never too sick or tired to not work so I definitely learned from her and the examples she set
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
My name is Maria Velazquez everyone knows me as Mary ,I started my online business about 4 years ago with eyelashes .At first I thought ok let’s just do Lashes so it’s a start not too complicated little did I know what comes with a business. I expanded my brand by adding more beauty products .I modeled for several years as hobby did TV ,Radio, music videos while working full time and being a single parent. During my modeling years I became passionate about makeup. I then got certified as a makeup artist and do that as extra income .Fashion and beauty have always been an interest for me since I was a child. To have a brand and call it my own males me so proud .I want to eventually add clothing to my brand and expand as much as possible.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Definitely work ethic ,drive ,determination are a few qualities that are important to pursue anything in life .You have to be hungry for growth ,believe in yourself and if you are driven the rest will fall into place .Never letting your fears become larger than your dreams.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I am open to collab with business oriented and driven individuals,small business owners that can help me grow with their knowledge. I am always open to new paths in life.
