We had the good fortune of connecting with Aja Lockhart and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aja, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
I think an important thing to remember when you want to succeed is to pace yourself. It is easy to give up when you don’t see the numbers that you want to see immediately, but it takes time. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing. Focus on what you are doing and your own target.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I got where I am today by being patient and consistent. Good things take time and creativity can not always be rushed. You have to be patient with yourself, I have learned that rushing to put out consistent content that is not up to par will cost you your audience loyalty. I am proudest of my new book out now “How Thoughts Become Things: Gratitude and Manifestation” which you can find on Amazon or on my website.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I am introverted and I don’t go out much, but when I do I like to go to Bar Vegan at 675 Ponce De Leon Ave. It is the best vegan experience in Atlanta in my opinion. THere are so many options, that even a non-vegan would enjoy the experience.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to first thank my husband for always supporting my dreams and encouraging me to go after them. Creating takes time away from my family, and I am glad to have someone who understands how important that is for me.

I have to also thank my readers who are always ready to hear from me and let me know that the things that I say are meaningful to them. It is a great feeling to feel heard and to feel that you are helping other people to feel heard. I thank them deeply for that,
