CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 BODY ISSUE - Lauren Flodquist | Page 108

SM: What exactly motivates you to be a game- changer and how do you do it? JASMINE: I love a challenge! I enjoy the feel- ing of accomplishment, especially things that have never been done before or where the odds are against me. There’s something liberating about doing things others didn’t think you could or would do, or that you didn’t even think you could do yourself. CSM: Describe the true nature of being sexy and an eye-catching individual. JASMINE: It’s all about confidence and a cer- tainly level of mystery. There are some people who naturally exude confidence. You know those people who can walk into a room and command attention without even trying. There’s just some- thing unique about them that sets them apart and causes us to be naturally drawn to them. Chances are, there’s something they have or do that we admire. CSM: The industry you are in right now is very fast-paced, full of competition and full of talent and unavoidable politics at times. What makes you stand out and how do you keep up with tal- ented people around you? JASMINE: I can’t focus on others. Too much of social media causes us to constantly compare ourselves to others. I prefer being my true, au- thentic self. CSM: Work-wise, what does it take to be suc- cessful in this type of profession? JASMINE: Being a leader. Caring about others, having patience and compassion, knowing how to inspire and motivate others to achieve success. You must also never allow a setback to turn into a permanent roadblock. CSM: What is your great advice to those who will venture this kind of work? JASMINE: Do not be afraid to fail or make mis- takes, they will happen! Just learn from them and keep moving forward. That goes for any and ev- erything you choose to do in life. CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your magic wand, where do you see yourself ten years from now? JASMINE: Happily married with one or two kids, still living a healthy, active lifestyle and the owner of at least 5 successful businesses that al- low me to have the flexibility to enjoy quality time with family and friends When faced with really difficult decisions, I give myself an opportunity to take a step back so I can see things more clearly and ask for guidance and direction from God.”
