Dear Reader, I’ve made six figures in revenue every year I’ve been in business. And every year, I’ve worked fewer hours. Let me tell you how, because I know there are first-gen business owners who believe that if they want to make more money, they’re going to have to work more hours, take on more pressure, and sacrifice more of their wellness. I used to believe that too. But after making my first six figures in 10 months and realizing how STRESSFUL that experience was, I decided I wanted to...

Dear Reader, If I could go back and give myself one piece of advice when I was starting Wealth Para Todos, it would be to learn how to recognize when my insecurities and self-doubt were creating unnecessary pressure and urgency. Let me explain. In my first year of business, I invested $10,000 in a business coach. My husband thought I was crazy. My twin sister thought I was crazy. And these are two people I talk to EVERY SINGLE DAY. Because they didn’t agree with my decision, I felt this...

Dear Reader, Whether you’re starting your business or you’re five years into entrepreneurship, I want you to be clear on why you wanted to start a business in the first place. And I’m not just talking about the mission behind your business. I’m talking about what you hoped owning a business would provide YOU. Let me explain. When I started Wealth Para Todos, I had a mission. I couldn’t believe that I had earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree and knew nothing about investing for retirement...

Dear Reader, When I decided I wasn’t going back to the classroom, I had absolutely no idea how else I was going to make money. During my medical leave in 2019, I had developed a passion for financial education and started building an online presence through Wealth Para Todos. But I wasn’t thinking, I’m going to start a business. I was thinking, More of us need to talk about money sin vergüenza. As a result, companies started reaching out to me to create content for them and speak at their...

Dear Reader, Five years ago this month, I decided to launch Wealth Para Todos LLC. And for the next 90 days, I want to talk to you about what I've learned as a first-gen business owner. Although, even calling myself a “first-gen business owner” feels a little complicated. My abuela Tere was an entrepreneur. At one point, she owned a restaurant, and her family in Mexico had their own negocios. So entrepreneurship was modeled for me. But it wasn't necessarily the path I was encouraged to...

Dear Reader, One of my clients—a first-gen wealth builder in her early 30s—said something during our coaching call that I know many of us can relate to: “I save the money, but then I don’t want to use it because I don’t want to see my savings go down.” This client had already done so much. She had paid off high-interest debt. She had built savings. She had money going toward retirement. But she was still wondering: What am I supposed to do with my extra cash flow? She wanted to prepare for a...

Dear Reader, Before enrollment in Wealth Para Todos Academy closes tonight, I want to talk about something that might be making you hesitate. I know there are people in my community who have complicated feelings about building wealth. Maybe you’ve wondered: If I care this much about money, am I becoming greedy? Can I want to become wealthy and still care about my community? What if having more money changes me? I get it. Especially when we have plenty of examples of people using wealth to...

Dear Reader, When Brenda joined Wealth Para Todos Academy, she was leaving a stable career at Kaiser to build her private therapy practice. She considered herself “good with money.” She budgeted. She saved. But she still had debt, felt anxious about investing, and wasn’t sure how to increase her income without burning herself out. Then Brenda increased her income by $5,000 in 90 days. Inside WPT Academy, she used the SCORE Framework and coaching to create a plan for growing her business. She...

Dear Reader, One of my members had savings, a strong income, and a financial plan—and still feared one uncertain season could undo everything they had built. After experiencing a dangerous situation, they needed to move their family out of their home quickly. They bought another home while preparing to sell the first one, without knowing how long they would carry two mortgages or how much of their savings the transition would require. Together, we reviewed their resources, calculated how long...
