While everyone's path is different, without a doubt, hard work and determination eventually yield good results regardless of the time it might take you. The work you put in manifests in the results. But more so determination. Determination is key because it fuels you to persist and makes you march ahead with confidence until you accomplish your goals.  In this episode, we are honored to share a conversation with Ariana Brothers. Ariana tells her story from when she began competing a few months ago to where she is today. She also talks about her experience in the sport as a newbie as well as how she didn't work with a big name coach to achieve her goals.  Ariana Brothers is an IFBB Bikini pro and a nutritionist for low-income pregnant women and families. The 24-year-old is one of a kind taking the industry by storm. She already has scooped her pro title after competing for only a few months. Through hard work and determination, Ariana has recorded two overall wins for the two shows she's competed since she began. This includes winning overall at her first-ever show and the NPC Nationals. Ariana is set to do her pro debut at the Border klash. Her goal is to keep soaring high while she learns from her own experiences and others'.     Takeaways  You miss 100% of the shots you don't take Have a clear goal  Work hard toward your goal Keep working hard; never stop Stay focused as much as you can Your hard work will eventually payoff  Trust your coach  Always listen to your body Stay motivated.  Don't let anything discourage you.
