Success Is Obedience: Walking in Purpose, Not Profit

Success looks different when you’re building something with God.

When I started this brand, I wasn’t just trying to create a business. I was answering a call—to fill a void in the earth that only I could fill. Yes, I put in the work. I stayed up late, poured out my heart, showed up consistently, and did the hard things. But the truth is, all the creativity, all the vision, and all the wisdom came from God. I was just following what He placed in my heart.

Of course, like anyone else, I would love to see this brand flourish. I want to make money, expand my reach, and experience the freedom that comes with financial success. But I had to pause and ask myself: What is my definition of success?

Is it how much money is in my account? What I drive? Where I live? How I dress?
Or is it something deeper?

For me, true success is getting people closer to God. It’s watching someone walk boldly in their purpose because of something I said, shared, or wrote. It’s feeling God’s presence while I’m creating. It’s building a relationship with Christ that spills over into every part of my life and touches others in the process.

So I had to stop letting numbers tell me how far I’ve come.
If I never make a dime but I radically change five people’s lives?
I’ve already succeeded.

Partnering with God shifts my perspective. It reminds me that this isn’t just a brand—it’s a mission. And if I want to truly fill a void in the earth, I have to be sensitive to more than just trends or engagement. I have to listen with all my senses—to words, energies, spirits, emotions, and visions. This work requires more than business strategy—it requires spiritual discernment.

This is personal. This is honest.
This is beautiful and the ugly. This is love. This is light.
This is me, walking in obedience.

And in that, I’ve already won.
