Twenty-two years ago, I started my business in my home office with nothing but determination, US$ 500.00, and a dream. As a woman, an immigrant, and a minority entrepreneur, I faced more closed doors than open ones, not because of my work, but simply because of who I am. I chose to keep going anyway.
My greatest motivation has always been my two daughters. I wanted to show them that no matter what obstacles life puts in front of you, you can rise above them. That perseverance is not weakness; it is your greatest strength. That belief carried me through the building of a company that today breaks language barriers across multiple fields and languages, giving a voice to those who need it most.
As the company grew, so did its challenges. I found myself constantly searching for answers, for inspiration, for a better way. That search led me to Mindvalley, first through a podcast, then through social media, and finally, three years ago, to an in-person Summit that changed something in me. The energy, the speakers, the community- I fell in love with it all. I went back a second time in Los Angeles, and when 2026 came around, I was desperately searching for the next experience. I found the AI Summit, registered immediately, and signed up for AI Mastery 2026.
I will not lie, I got frustrated more than once. There were moments I was ready to quit. But every time I reached that edge, something shifted: a new instructor, a new concept, a spark of possibility. So I kept going. I started experimenting, applying what I was learning directly to my company. And every time my staff, most of them much younger than me, got excited about what I was building, I found my reason to continue.
I made myself a promise: thanks to what I have learned, and with gratitude to the universe and to God for guiding me through this journey, I will soon work to live, instead of living to work.
