Today we’d like to introduce you to Sunsae’ Davis.
Hi Sunsae’, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a proud Flint, Michigan native, University of Michigan alumna, entrepreneur, recruiter, creative, and coach who is passionate about helping people build successful and fulfilling lives. At 28 years old, I wear many hats. I work full-time as a Recruiting Specialist, serve as an Executive Assistant for TaiLour Made Enterprise, and own Success with Sun LLC. I also have over 25 years of dance experience and continue to stay connected to the creative community through event management and backstage management services, helping bring performances, showcases, and creative visions to life. While these roles may seem very different, they all have one thing in common: helping people grow, stay organized, and reach their goals.
Throughout my life, people have often asked me how I manage to balance a full-time career, entrepreneurship, dance, relationships, travel, health goals, and personal development. Friends, family members, and peers regularly came to me for advice on organization, time management, goal setting, and creating structure in their lives. Over time, I realized that what came naturally to me was something many people were struggling with.
That realization led me to create Success with Sun. I noticed that many young adults are taught how to survive adulthood: work, pay bills, and handle responsibilities; but are rarely taught how to truly thrive. Many people want financial freedom, healthier habits, stronger routines, and greater confidence, but they lack the structure, accountability, and support needed to make lasting changes.
Success with Sun was built on the belief that success is not just about achievements, it’s about creating a life that aligns with your values and goals. Through coaching, I help individuals strengthen their discipline, improve their time management, develop accountability, and learn how to show up for themselves consistently. My philosophy is simple: success happens when intentional action is taken consistently over time, even when motivation fades.
Today, my mission is to help others create structure, build healthy habits, stop living in survival mode, and recognize that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. There is no perfect roadmap for adulthood, but with the right support, tools, and mindset, people can build a life they are proud of. Seeing others bring their vision to life and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach is what continues to inspire me every day.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, the road has not always been smooth. In fact, many of the experiences that shaped me the most came from moments of uncertainty, setbacks, and having to learn how to adapt.
One of my earliest lessons in perseverance came from my journey to the University of Michigan. I applied three different times before being accepted into the program I was passionate about. That experience taught me patience, resilience, and the importance of continuing to pursue a goal even when the timing is not what you expected.
After earning my Master’s degree, I entered a transition period that many young adults experience. I had accomplished a major goal, but I quickly realized that having a degree did not automatically mean I had everything figured out. I had to navigate finding the right career path, recognizing when something was not aligned with my goals, and having the courage to pivot.
Another defining moment was surviving a major car accident that could have taken my life. That experience changed the way I viewed time, purpose, and the importance of being intentional. I began asking myself, “If I didn’t have tomorrow, would I be proud of how I spent today?” It encouraged me to stop waiting for the perfect moment and start taking action toward the life I wanted to create.
Building Success with Sun has also come with its own challenges. As an entrepreneur, I have had to learn how to navigate many parts of business on my own, from creating services and systems to understanding how to grow and market a brand. Although I have always been fortunate to have the support of my family, friends, and the people around me, there were still many moments where I had to make decisions independently, learn through experience, and figure out the next steps without always having a clear roadmap.
Coming from Flint, Michigan, I understand the importance of creating opportunities and believing in yourself even when you may not always have access to every resource or example you need. My background has taught me to be resourceful, resilient, and intentional about building the life I envision for myself. Entrepreneurship has challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone, build confidence in my abilities, and continue learning through every success and setback.
The biggest lesson I have learned is that success is not created overnight. It requires patience, consistency, accountability, and the willingness to keep showing up even when things do not go according to plan. These experiences have shaped the way I approach coaching because I understand what it feels like to be in a transition period, trying to create a better life while still figuring out the process along the way.
That is why I believe accountability, asking for help, and having a support system are so important. Success does not mean having everything figured out, it means being willing to learn, adapt, and continue showing up for yourself.
As you know, we’re big fans of Success with Sun . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Success with Sun LLC was founded in 2024 as a way to combine my passion for helping others with my skills in organization, leadership, and personal development. While the idea began in 2024, I made a deeper commitment to growing the brand at the beginning of 2026 by dedicating more time, energy, and intentional strategy toward building it into the resource I envisioned.
Success with Sun is a personal development and business support brand focused on helping individuals and organizations create structure, achieve goals, and bring their visions to life. The mission behind Success with Sun is rooted in the belief that success requires intentional action, accountability, and the right systems in place to turn ideas into results.
On the personal development side, I specialize in life coaching with a focus on accountability, time management, and discipline. I help individuals create realistic plans, build healthier habits, improve their organization, and develop the confidence needed to take consistent action toward their goals. My goal is not to define success for someone else, but to help clients create a version of success that aligns with their own values, priorities, and vision.
In addition to coaching, Success with Sun provides project management, event management, and executive support services for businesses, entrepreneurs, and organizations that need assistance bringing ideas and initiatives to life. Through planning, organization, coordination, and execution support, I help clients create structure behind their goals so they can focus on growth and impact.
What sets Success with Sun apart is the combination of personal experience and practical skills. My background in recruiting, business operations, executive assistance, project management, and over 25 years in dance has allowed me to develop a unique understanding of leadership, preparation, creativity, and execution. Whether I am helping an individual create a plan for their personal goals or helping an organization execute a project or event, the foundation remains the same: creating structure, staying accountable, and taking intentional action.
I am most proud of the impact and trust that Success with Sun continues to build. Seeing individuals gain confidence, develop better routines, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach is incredibly rewarding. I am also proud of being able to support creatives, entrepreneurs, and organizations by helping transform their ideas into successful experiences.
I want readers to know that Success with Sun is more than just a coaching brand; it is a resource for growth, organization, and execution. Whether someone is navigating a personal transition, building a business, or creating a project that requires additional support, my mission is to help people move from ideas to action and create a successful life and business they are proud of.
How do you define success?
To me, success is creating a life that aligns with your values, goals, and purpose while maintaining the discipline to continue growing through each stage of life. I believe success looks different for everyone, which is why I encourage people to define it for themselves rather than comparing their journey to someone else’s.
Success is not just about financial achievements, career milestones, or reaching a destination. It is about having the freedom to make choices that support the life you want to live, building meaningful relationships, prioritizing your well-being, and being proud of the person you are becoming along the way.
As someone who balances a full-time career, entrepreneurship, leadership roles in the dance community, relationships, personal goals, and self-development, I have learned that success is also about creating structure and balance. It means being intentional with your time, showing up for yourself consistently, and understanding that progress is often built through small daily actions rather than overnight results.
Most importantly, I define success as taking action on the vision you have for your life. It is having the courage to start, the discipline to continue, and the patience to trust the process. When your actions align with your goals and you are actively working toward becoming the best version of yourself, I believe that is success.
