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

Hi Kelly, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I am very much a creature of habit and schedule. I live a very hectic life that can things can happen quickly. However, i always wake up at the same time, work out at the same time in the morning…. sit down at my desk at the same time (now working from home) and drink my coffee for the first hour while doing initial emails. I find that have such a structured morning allows me not to freak out when some days everything goes awry. I also extremely adhearent to my calendar and schedule… I am never late… my dads motto was if you are not 5 minutes early you are late. This really helps since i have many of the same clients over and over again in my work.. so when life happens or things throw me off and i tell someone hey im going to be late for something…. no one is ever mad , they know i am always on time and therefore something really must have happened.
I can not tell you how many collegues have lost clients because they constantly are late and people get fed up and when something is really happened they do not care because it has been a pattern of lateness. Being on time shows respect

What should our readers know about your business?
I am an immigration attorney that specializes in visa for the entertainment industry. I am also an influencer….. and inside my speciality i take particular fun and help other influencers around the world get US work visa’s…. since it is such a specific industry — being an influencer allows me to know exactly what to get from my clients to help them show what they need to to the US government to get a work visa….. but i take great pride in working with all aspects of social media influencers/ social media creators/strategist and film/tv industry and many many more

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?
My out of towner’s highlights 1. SLS hotel bar – this bar is easy to get into but super visually stunning – it always impresses people with their fun decor and dry ice table side made martins
2. Museum pop up – there is a revolving list of museum/ experience pop ups in LA – (Tu Pac museum / Britney Spears expirience/ Van gough experience etc) whatever is in town is what i will get tickets too.
3. Korean Spa – I love love love a good korean spa – if it is a girls trip i go to Hough Spa (women only) or if men then Wii Spa – just soaking in a ton of different steam and saunas. and getting a scrub and massage
4. Malibu wines safari – super fun and lots of wine!
