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

Hi Keara, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Consistency & Dedication it takes a very strong person to keep going in a business on the bad days . Some days are faster than others and some days are slower but as long as you are consistent becoming successful won’t happen on accident it’ll happen on purpose .

What should our readers know about your business?
What sets me apart from others is my strong mind and creativity . You don’t see many people my age actually taking a business serious like I take mine . I’m only 20 but I started my business at 19. Being a entrepreneur has been one of the hardest challenges I have dealt with but one thing I’ve never lost is hope I’m very consistent when it comes to becoming successful. Over coming the challenges isn’t the hard part it’s the consistency. Even on days you want to give up you have to get up & keep going . My message to others especially my age is that age does not define when you’ll be successful your hard work will definitely pay off may not be when you want it to but it definitely will in due time .

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 enjoy going to downtown St. Louis. I haven’t traveled much due to my fear of planes but I have decided I’ll overcome that next year . I love Downtown St Louis it’s very live ! My favorite place to eat there is Morton’s steakhouse. They have lots of different and entertaining things you can do such as the zoo, museums, & etc.

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?
I honestly don’t have many people that I can say I actually do give credit to for my success besides my mom and my bonus mom! I started from scratch and built my self up to where I am now where I am from people don’t help you when you need it you pretty much just have to figure it out . It may have took me some time but I did just that and now I inspire many people .
