Janessa Borges discusses her vision for creating a community where Latinas can collaborate and connect genuinely. She wanted a platform that was robust enough for genuine connections and collaboration, unlike many communities that focus on pitching businesses. She explored two options for hosting the community: Kajabi and Mighty Networks. While Kajabi offered a one-stop-shop for various business needs, Mighty Networks provided a visual platform where members could engage and connect organically. Janessa ultimately chose Mighty Networks for its ability to send alerts directly to members and create a genuine and collaborative environment.

Get ready to take notes as I go over breaking down these results and how our efforts play into our successes. All of that and more in this week's episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas, ‘How to succeed in business by letting go of attachment'.

Are you part of the hustle and grind culture?  I sure was, but after lots of personal work and serious boundaries I started challenging the belief systems I was raised in.  I’m happy to say that I’ve adopted and fully embraced this new “anti-hustle” mentality.  And I want to teach you exactly how you can achieve the same mindset and restructure your life around working smarter and not harder with strategy and confidence.

Do you struggle with thinking that you need to work more to make more? This week’s episode was inspired by a conversation I had with my brother about HOW we work. We were brought up with the same value systems within our family that has great pride in how hard we work - and boy did I work hard to get where I am. But when I felt like I had enough, that I had curated a business that fulfilled my needs: financial, family time, balance, boundaries - the challenge of this older school of thought momentarily shook me and I felt the need to justify my choices. Tune in to hear how I break down this often engrained mentality and how you can decide what works best for your life. 

Main Topics

How your personality and family history affect your views of work ethic

Working a lot may be what you WANT… or not.

You don’t need to justify your decisions about works best for you with anyone

When the cost meets the value

My mentor’s most priceless advice when it comes to how people perceive their investments

Don't let your quality of life be affected by limiting beliefs.

Burnout is real!

Growth is individualized and it ripples out in the best way

Be clear on what you want for you and what works for you

My recipe for creating healthy boundaries based on your goals.

Are you drowning with your “to do” list?  Listen amiguita, asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness. We’re all capable, but far more productive when we focus our energy on our strengths and delegate things we can.  Just because we CAN do it all doesn’t mean we should. We explored one of my favorite topics in this week's episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas, ‘Virtual Assistants and their importance in our business’ - of course I’m talking about delegating! 

Having a virtual assistant was a game changer for my practice. This week we’re talking with Amber Gauthuier about her agency for Virtual Assistants and her experience as one herself. Sometimes we don’t know what we need, but when your business is reaching a point where you’re feeling overwhelmed in areas outside of your expertise, it might be time to start your search for a virtual assistant in the areas where you’re struggling. This episode is a game changer for those determined (but struggling) to run a successful business without burning out.

Main Topics

Delegating can be FREEING! 

The best time to get an assistant.

How to manage an assistant when you feel like you can’t afford one yet.

Date around, you’ll find your assistant match

Be clear on your expectations, where are you overwhelmed? 

VAs are not “employees” they are providing a service - an important distinction!

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries!

VA’s specialities vary, do you need legal? Admin? Social Media?

When we don’t have a clear picture of what we want, we very quickly run ourselves ragged and don’t give ourselves or our businesses the quality of care we’re dying for. I want you to know your worth it and I have some tough love for you in, “What your pricing says about your business” and you. 

Tough love incoming! Do you shortchange yourself? Do you undercharge? Do you feel like you’re not worth it? How you present yourself signals to potential customers and clients presents the quality of your work, whether you intend it to or not. In this episode I pop some questions to get your business mind rolling when it comes to your business and the ICA you’re catering to. Take notes! This is fuel for thriving!

When we become entrepreneurs our lives drastically change - and our family’s lives change too. Growing pains can become real problems and we explore how and why this happens in, How to navigate your relationship as a business owner with LMFT Veronica Cisneros, an all new episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas.

Navigating ourselves as entrepreneurs can be difficult - and sometimes we overlook those closest to us. Special guest licensed marriage and family therapy Veronica Cisneros joins me in this episode to touch on a very real, very emotional, and very important aspect of how our relationships can experience resistance to change. She and I talk about:

Veronica gets real and raw as she shares her passionate (and tumultuous) love story and how the history of infidelity in her parent’s home slipped into her own marriage. 

How our relationships get rocked when we push back against cultural expectations and the rut of routine.

Change is scary. We can feel like we’re doing it alone when our partners don’t know how to support us, or worse yet, when they feel threatened by our success.

It’s no surprise that communication is key - but how do we communicate? Veronica has some solutions.

As entrepreneurs, we know we’re diving into some rough waters, but our families probably aren’t as aware. In this episode, we learn how we can overcome and find those life preservers to save our relationships.

~Guest Bio~ Veronica Cisneros is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage Coach, Course Creator, Retreat Host, Mother of 3, married for 23 years, host of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast and owner of a group private practice called Outside The Norm Counseling.

A lot of couples struggle with setting aside intentional time to connect and communicate. They yearn for meaningful conversations that don’t lead to arguments. 1 month away from divorce, Veronica realized she had to do something different. For years she had compromised herself to meet the needs of her husband and her child, she lost herself and was about to lose her marriage.

After years of personal growth and self-reflection, Veronica has not only reclaimed her identity, and celebrated 23 years of marriage but also helped hundreds of couples transform their marriage from feeling like roommates to experiencing a deeper connection.

Do you have a book in you my friend? Or are you trying to find a way to earn some residual income without relying on someone else or a networking marketing business? Carol Lozier is a female therapist and author of multiple books and she's going to sprinkle some knowledge about what it takes to write a book. She spills some serious tea that left me shocked. Hint: you don't need to be famous and you can do it on your own easier than you think.

In this episode, I interview Lily Saviñon — a bilingual marketer, university professor, and account supervisor at WOW MKTG. We talk about the building blocks to a great marketing strategy for your business.

I want you to understand: if every time things get hard or we don’t hear what we want to hear, we can’t quit. Being an entrepreneur is about resilience, determination, relentless perseverance, and the strength to continue to get up when things don’t go your way.

In this episode, I speak with Meryl Berger, the travel agent behind Palm Trees & Pixie Dust, about how to provide an exceptional customer experience.

There’s no time to waste, so let’s get to work!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leave your 9 to 5 and be your own boss?  Well today my business bestie Jen and I are going to share the ins and outs, struggles and successes and most of all the mindset shifts you need to adopt in order to be successful.

Shifting your mindset from employee to CEO requires adopting a new perspective and approach to work and decision-making. By taking ownership of your work, embracing challenges, setting clear goals, and leading by example, you can position yourself for success and build a successful business.

Here are some steps to help you shift your mindset from employee to CEO:

Take responsibility: As a CEO, you are responsible for the success of the company. Take ownership of your work and the outcomes you produce, and don't be afraid to take calculated risks.

Develop a growth mindset: Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and improvement, and continuously work to improve your skills and knowledge.

Set clear goals and priorities: Define what you want to achieve, both in the short and long term, and prioritize your time and resources accordingly.

Focus on solutions: When faced with a challenge, focus on finding solutions rather than dwelling on the problem.

Lead by example: As a CEO, you need to set the tone for the rest of the company. Lead by example, be a good role model, and inspire others to follow your lead.

Entrepreneurs are multi-passionate. We have so many ideas and so little time. In this episode, I teach you how to take a deep breath, focus, and map out the best year ever.

Take Inventory: write down what you accomplished in the past year and what you want to get done in the future (e.g., write a book, host a retreat, get more clients). Do a brain dump. 

What do I need to do NOW to get to where I want to be then?What are my short-term and long-term action items to get to where I want to be?

What do I want my business to look like? What do I want my personal life to look like? For example, I want to do more coaching, less clinical work, travel with my family, and host more events.  

Schedule out the action steps needed to get to where you want to be. Break down your goals year by year, month by month, week by week, and day by day. When you schedule your year ahead of time to meet the goals you want to accomplish, you are planning your roadmap and only leaving room for the things that you love and want to do.

Running a business is not for the weak of heart. Celebrating every little business achievement is an opportunity to recognize yourself and your employees while also sharing your success with clients.

Milestones can be big or small, and they don't have to be limited to financial achievements. Some examples of milestones include reaching a certain level of sales, completing a major project, or reaching a specific number of clients.

When celebrating milestones, it's important to be creative and make the occasion memorable. This could include hosting a party, presenting awards, or simply taking time to recognize and acknowledge your hard work.

Celebrating milestones in your business is a valuable way to honor your hard work, boost morale, and stay focused and motivated. By taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, you can maintain a positive work environment and build a stronger, more successful business.

The more you celebrate the more you'll grow.

Investing in yourself is necessary for your success and your business, so why do entrepreneurs make so many excuses NOT to do it? In this episode, I go over the truths and myths behind the biggest arguments entrepreneurs make that limit themselves from growth.

Investing in yourself and your business is an essential part of success. By investing in your personal and professional development, you are creating a foundation for success and building a better future for yourself and your business.

Investing in your business can take many forms, including marketing and advertising, technology upgrades, employee training, and hiring additional staff. These investments can help you grow your business, increase productivity, and reach new customers.

So, skip the excuses and get to work! You're worth the investment amiguita.

Praying, wishing, hoping, wishful thinking, and manifestation does not work unless you're taking.

While the concept of manifesting can be appealing, there are several reasons why it may not work in a business setting:

Lack of action: Simply visualizing success without taking action is unlikely to produce tangible results. Success in business requires hard work, effort, and consistent action.

Unrealistic expectations: Some people may have unrealistic expectations about the results they can achieve through manifesting, leading to disappointment and frustration when their expectations are not met.

Ignoring external factors: Business success is influenced by many external factors, such as market conditions, competition, and regulation. Ignoring these external factors can lead to a failure to anticipate and plan for obstacles.

Over-reliance on positive thinking: While positive thinking is important, it is not enough on its own to produce results. Business success requires a combination of positive thinking, strategic planning, and hard work.

Difficulty in measuring results: It can be difficult to quantify the results of manifesting in a business setting, making it challenging to determine its effectiveness and make changes as necessary.

Manifesting can be a useful tool for promoting positive thinking and motivation, but it's not a substitute for hard work, strategic planning, and action. Success in business requires a combination of factors, including a positive attitude, strategic planning, and consistent action. Listen to learn exactly how.

Tapping into the power and influence of a strong and positive mindset as the foundation for a successful business and life is sumamente importante. This episode is a download and save when you need some inspo or to ponerte las pilas. 

Mira: A person's mindset and attitude are more important than external circumstances in determining success. In other words, it emphasizes the power of a positive and growth-oriented mindset in achieving success in business y en la vida.

Having a positive mindset helps you overcome challenges, take calculated risks, and stay motivated in the face of setbacks. It enables you to focus on solutions instead of problems, and to view obstacles as opportunities for growth and improvement.

A growth mindset is when you believe that your abilities can be developed through effort and perseverance, is especialmente importante in business. This type of mindset helps entrepreneurs embrace challenges and continuously improve their skills and knowledge, which is essential for success in a rapidly changing business environment.

Having a positive and growth-oriented mindset is critical for success in business. By focusing on personal growth and embracing challenges, individuals can overcome obstacles, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential.
