What to Do When You Catch Yourself Over-Thinking in Your Business

“Do you come from an immigrant family?” When my English Professor asked me this while critiquing my first college paper… I was shook. I’ve thought about this for years, decades, in fact. But in retrospect, it was a hidden blessing. It led me to discover passions I might have otherwise overlooked. (Ahem, like business!) Most importantly, it led me here, recording this episode for you. So, let me ask you. Have you ever caught yourself overthinking situations in your business? Inspired by wisdom fr...

When You Should “Break the Rules” in Your Business

You know who knew a thing or two about defying norms? Coco Chanel. In the 20th century in France, women wore corsets and frilly dresses (basically only clothes that were appealing to men.) So, what’d she do? She started designing clothes that were simple, sleek, and stylish with clean lines and timeless elegance. And let me tell you, the whole world took notice but she didn’t stop there… She went on to break even more rules. She chopped off her hair into a short bob, which was unheard of at the ...

Business Education and Coaching: How Much to Invest and How to Turn Around a “Bad Investment”

You’ve heard me talking about “getting in the room”, right? Well, I gave some advice to a friend recently when she shared her challenge of finding a room that was the right fit for her. And I wanna share it with YOU, too… …“Pick a room, any room… Will it be the best room? Will it be the right room? Most likely not, but it's a muscle you build.” I get it. Trust me, I do. It seems counterproductive joining a room without being sure it isn’t a fit. But what if you got so good at making the wrong ro...

Make Better Business Decisions with This One Mindset Shift

My mentor, Susan Sierota , introduced me to a concept that took me a hot minute to grasp…. But once it clicked, I knew I had to share it with y’all.

[9 min] The Advice I Needed to Hear When I Started My Business: My 2024 Whittier Commencement Speech

Maybe you’ve asked yourself this question… …“What is THIS all for?” It's a question that digs at the heart of purpose, pushing you to consider the true meaning behind the endless amount of work. And to this day, I wonder if my grandmother asked herself this question. She moved to East LA to work in a sweatshop, taking three buses to work after dropping off her three kids at school, one with special needs—getting home with just enough time to put dinner on the table and send the kids to bed. Mayb...

How to Reach IMPOSSIBLE Goals with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

Hear me out: What if you set the bar higher than you could ever imagine… What if you allowed yourself to dream so big that it terrified you simply because you knew you’d have to let go of the things (strategies, offers, businesses) that are currently working, to get there? This is what it means to “10x” your goals and when Dr. Benjamin Hardy explained how to do this and why it’s easier than just “2xing” them—my mind was blown. Perhaps one of my favorite moments of the episode was when he said, "...

How to Break Free from Analysis Paralysis and Start Taking Action When You're Feeling Stuck

"Will this matter in 10 minutes, 10 months, or 10 years?" Asking myself this simple question has been a game-changer for me and I’ll tell you why… If it doesn’t matter in 10 months or 10 years, I simply don’t care. I don’t care about the reality show everyone’s talking about. I don’t care where we eat dinner. Basically, I’ve trained myself to not care about instant gratification or moments of temporary excitement. This is ONE of the five strategies that can get you out of analysis paralysis (whi...

You CAN Develop Resourcefulness in Business (Here’s How!)

Have you ever heard of the “Million Dollar Tool” ? It only costs about $2.25, but it saves chain restaurants over a million dollars in product a year. Can you guess what it is? It’s a rubber spatula. Just scraping out that little bit of dressing, sauce, or whatever from one pan to transfer it into the new pan (instead of the trash) saves them SO MUCH MONEY every single year. So, why am I telling you this? This is a testament that being more resourceful in business (almost always) leads to being ...

Quarter One Review: How I’m “Laying Bricks” to Build Relationships and Open Up New Opportunities

Tell me if you can relate to this… When I get obsessed with something, I start to see a new level of results. But I have to fully immerse myself into that ONE thing and give it my all.

Can I be real with you for a moment? I mean, you listen to the podcast so I already know you’re a real one.
