We had the good fortune of connecting with Chi Chi and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Chi, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Taking risks are NECESSARY/Required in order to achieve success!!
Taking Risks has played a crucial role in the development, start, and continued success of my business. I took a risk back in 2013 when I decided to resign from my job with a Fortune 500 company with no money or savings; only an Idea and a burning desire to make my Idea a reality. It was again taking a risk that caused me to implement a game changing concept, which propelled my business to a new height. Taking Risk is a mandatory ingredient in the recipe for success.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We have created an innovative sip and paint show, which entangles elements of Erotic Poetry and Body Painting. I’m so excited about our creativeness and growth! We are the first and only ones to produce a Sip and Paint show like this, which has contributed enormously to our momentum, brand recognition, and growth.
I got where I am today by believing in myself, a higher power, and taking risk…investing and betting on myself. No, it was NOT and is not easy. However, the same attributes that helped me get to where I am today are the same things that keep me going even in the face of presumed failure/challenges. Belief, dedication, persistence, constantly visualizing my Goals are a few of my closest allies when faced with challenges. I’ve learned that, as long as you don’t quit and keep going, you will never taste true failure. Failures are illusions and the lessons that ensure success. I’ve learned to be blind to failure.
I want people to know that ExoticATL is about Exotic Excellence! Being innovative, free, and spreading love! Our mission is to emit feelings of Love on a Global level by resparking love, intimacy, affection, care etc. between couples, family, friends…and the animals down the road lol 🙂 I grew up in a community where there was not a lot of love shown between people. However, I received ALOT of love in my home from my Mom, brothers, and family. I know how therapeutic and healing love is and I strongly feel like that is what’s needed in our world today. ExoticATL is how I’m giving my Love to the World!
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Okay…lol. During our days we would definitely go to the Atlanta Beltline. Some days we would just walk and talk, and other we would bike ride or skate. Monday night is STK for sure…best Steak in Atlanta. I love nature so Stone Mountain is a must do! We would hit up Peter Street for music and drinks…that ATL Vibe. Have a relaxing spa day at JeJu Spa. And of course on Sunday attend the ExoticATL Sip and Paint Show 🙂
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Yes!!! First and foremost, I have to give a Mega Shoutout to the Creator for giving me this amazing Gift to present to the World!! And Just like it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a sincere group to build a successful business. I have to ShoutOut my Family, Friends, and the Entire ExoticATL Family!! They have been soooo supportive of me and my vision since day one. Moments I wanted to give up and quit, they picked me up with there love/care, and gave me energy to push forward! They continue to restore my motivation, which helps me press forward enthusiastically.
I also have to give a SHOUTOUT to the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill!! This book changed my life for the better and I strongly recommended everyone read this book…like yesterday! lol
