Dear Reader, I wouldn’t have a business today if I hadn’t committed to engaging in D.I.V.E.R.S.E. Self-Care daily. As a parent of two kids, someone navigating ADHD, and the person my extended family often turns to when there’s a problem to solve, I’ve learned that my capacity is not unlimited. Over the years, I’ve navigated family estrangement, made difficult medical decisions for loved ones, and grieved multiple deaths in a single year. Through it all, D.I.V.E.R.S.E. Self-Care has been the...

Dear Reader, One of the best ways to increase your income as a service-based business owner is to get fully booked out. And YOU get to decide what fully booked means. I see clients on Thursdays and Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. When those appointment slots are filled, I’m fully booked. That’s TWO days a week, not 24/7. Being fully booked allows me to pay myself and max out my retirement contributions every year. How do I know? Because I know my numbers. I know how many clients I need to serve, at...

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...
