Well, Jo-Na A. Williams will tell you, there is no such thing as an overnight success. Vocal artist turned successful attorney, specializing in entertainment and all things creative, Williams empowers her clients with the formula for achieving success and finally realizing their dreams. According to Jo-Na, there are 4 essential pieces to being a star:
Vision, Dedication, Opportunity and Business Savvy.
You must possess a clear vision of what you want and how you are going to make your dreams a reality. Williams believes that “it puts you in line with what you want and creates the connection between your desires and the steps you will take to achieve them.” The next piece involves dedication to your craft. You have to keep learning and perfecting your craft in order to shine amongst a sea of equally talented people; you have to acquire a strong work ethic. Remember, if it is important to you, you will find the time to do it. The third piece to being a star is to create your own opportunities. You have to step out of your comfort zone and take pride in your talent and share it! The eventual goal is probably worldwide domination, but Williams suggests starting small within your community. Begin to build a following where you live. The last and, possibly, the most important piece to Sash Fierce-dom, is to become business savvy. Protect yourself and your work by learning the law inside and out. Apparently, there are people who actually go to school for years to learn the law, they are called lawyers, hire one. Far too often, individuals have stars in their eyes and nothing in their heads. Knowledge is power people, educate yourselves.
At its core, Williams’ blueprint acts as a guide and testament to the reality that nothing good in life is gained without believing in yourself, hard work, not being afraid to hear ‘no’, and having an understanding of the business that you long to become a part of. Williams provides you with the tools and it is now up to you to empower yourself and make it happen.
