CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 BODY ISSUE - Lauren Flodquist | Page 270

CSM: What exactly motivates you to be a game- changer and how do you do it? PRISCILLA: The success of others. If and when I make an impact of individual’s lives, then I know that is a game-changer. Sometimes things may seem minor but may have a dramatic effect on an individ- ual’s life. As I set big goals for myself I try to also remember to have a positive impact on others on a daily basis. CSM: Describe the true nature of being sexy and an eye-catching individual. PRISCILLA: Happiness. I laugh and smile 85% of my day (even while I work out). Smiles and laughs can convey so much personality and beauty. I ap- preciate the compliments that confirm all of the hard work is paying off but I don’t take things like social media too serious. I have fun with it but am careful to represent the things I believe in. CSM: The industry you are in right now is very fast- paced, full of competition and full of talent and un- avoidable politics at times. What makes you stand out and how do you keep up with talented people around you? PRISCILLA: For starters, age. While I started at a very young age being healthy, I have never competed in a competition until I discovered CrossFit in my mid 30’s. I am in the best shape of my life and am doing things physically I couldn’t have done even in my 20’s. Also, I do not compare myself to that of others and their successes. I don’t view a healthy lifestyle as a competition with others who also live with a fitness focus. I do what I do first and foremost for myself and to help anyone I can. I love to cross paths with others who can inspire me and make me better. I recognize talent for what it is and comple- ment those who deserve it. CSM: Work-wise, what does it take to be successful in this type of profession? PRISCILLA: Drive and the ability to ask for help. The old adage that luck comes to those who work hard. CSM: What is your great advice to those who will venture this kind of work? PRISCILLA: Be organic and true, confident but humble. Most importantly lead by example!! CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your magic wand, where do you see yourself ten years from now? PRISCILLA: Retired……..and on a pretty beach working on my tan.
