We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Kardie Tobb and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Dr. Kardie, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I have always dreamt of making a difference. My perception for the reality of success was deeply rooted in formal education. But I should note that success is a subjective term which means different things to different people. Regardless of one’s definition of success there are often key factors that drives individuals towards achieving their goals. For me these have been the key factors that I believe have shape my success: Passion, Hard work and dedication, Resilience and Gratitude.
Passion – when you have a strong passion for your chosen field or business it provides internal motivation, fuels your drive, and sustains you through challenges. When you deeply care about what you’re doing, it becomes less about external validation and more about the intrinsic satisfaction of pursuit and progress. As a physician it has been fulfilling to enjoy my practice as a cardiologist who educates on cardiovascular disease prevention. As a founder of a fashion brand for women I have embrace my lifelong dedication to empowering other women.
Hard Work and Dedication: -Success rarely comes easy. It requires consistent effort, dedication, and a willingness to put in the hard work needed to achieve your goals. This involves setting realistic goals, building a strong work ethic, and persevering through obstacles and setbacks. Our surrounding is constantly changing so I have committed myself to lifelong and personal growth and development. We should all stay updated and continue to expand our knowledge base.
Resilience: Life can be unpredictable. To be successful we have to be able to adapt and have the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to changing circumstances. There have been multiple challenges in my life that has shaped me to be a lady with great resilience and a positive attitude to various circumstances. We must learn to accept failures because we can learn a great deal from them. My can-do attitude to being resilient have led to overcome challenges and keep moving forward.
Gratitude and Humility: Being grateful for what you have and maintaining a sense of humility can contribute significantly to your happiness and success. This involves appreciating your accomplishments, recognizing the support you receive, and remaining grounded despite achievements.
As noted earlier, success is a concept with a unique meaning for each individual. Therefore, prioritize key elements that aligns with your personal values and you can increase the possibilities of achieving success and fulfilling your potential.
