EP. 188 Designing the Future with Alena Capra, CMKBD – KBIS, NKBA & Coverings https://lnkd.in/gm7rmjxZ

Everyone sees the success. No one sees the start. 👉 IKEA sold pens 👉 Airbnb rented out air mattresses 👉 GoPro sold straps Every massive brand you know once felt like a shot in the dark. A side hustle. A “let’s just try it and see.” So if you’re building something right now that feels small… you’re not behind. You’re right on track. #StartSmall #EntrepreneurMindset #BuildYourBrand #SmallStepsBigDreams #StartupStories #CreativeEntrepreneur #VisionToReality

Success isn’t just about how far you go. It’s about how many people you bring with you. You can hit every goal, win every award, and stack your resume with achievements — but if you’re not helping others rise too, what does it really mean? True success is shared. It’s showing someone else the blueprint. It’s giving someone a seat at the table when no one gave you one. It’s recognizing that your journey isn’t just yours — it’s a path others can walk if you’re willing to guide them. Whether it’s mentoring someone just getting started, shouting out a peer’s work, or simply being generous with your knowledge — lifting others is the legacy. Because when we rise together, that’s when success becomes something bigger than ourselves. #SuccessWithPurpose #LiftAsYouClimb #MentorshipMatters #CollaborationOverCompetition #LeadershipMindset #PurposeDriven

We’ve all made mistakes, taken wrong turns, trusted the wrong people, or doubted ourselves when we should’ve believed. That’s part of the journey. But the past isn’t home—it’s a classroom. Learn the lesson. Carry the wisdom. Leave the rest behind. Growth starts when you stop looking back and start building forward. #MindsetMatters #KeepMovingForward #BuiltNotBroken #StrongerEveryDay #LifeLessons #GrowthMindset #OwnYourStory
