Kish Miller | Kish Elaine Aesthetics Holistic Skincare & Wellness

My decision to start my own business was deeply rooted in both personal and professional motivations. I’ve always been passionate about health and wellness, and over time, I saw an opportunity to combine esthetics with my passion.

Hector & Juliana Machuca | Tailors Couture Owners

Every single Bussines born with an Idea and a plan to execute that idea, so we put everything in paper and started to plan how to develop our Bussines. There were too many things to consider such as location, hours of operations, bussines name, team members, etc. I think it is a process that never stops when you’re looking to grow, as today we continue the process.

Jamie Sanford | Visual Artist & Entrepreneur

I strive to make my life my own. “Make your own reality” is a motto I’ve picked up from my husband. At first it seemed like a “yeah right, that’s not real” mindset. But the more I gave myself a chance and leaned into what I want my reality to look like, the more I started to invision the possibilities. I can pick up a trade, in my case art, and I can find new ways to express myself. For now, my reality is to create enough income to live comfortably. While doing that, I get to live the life I want: food, parenting, daily tasks, etc. It’s not something I can do lightly. I have to commit to it especially in the capital world we live in.

This vision materialized with the publication of my book, “What’s Keeping Us Broke”, a work designed to challenge conventional thinking and offer insights into everyday financial struggles.
