Learning how to say no is extremely important as a Latina entrepreneur. No to bad decisions, no to bad offers, no to time restrictions- even the hard task of saying no in fear of seeming rude. As much as we try, we can't do everything. By saying NO, entrepreneurs have a chance to grow and develop their businesses. Learning to say no allows us to become comfortable with discomfort - and how we can learn to tolerate that pain, rather than feel the need to eliminate it. Are you comfortable saying no? #NLBWAie #latinasinbusiness #inlandempire

What many economic observers anticipated for years has finally become a reality: women and Latinos are the majority of business owners in the United States. According to a recent article on Forbes, "In 2018-2019, women started more than 1,800 businesses a day. In the past five years, women-owned businesses have grown at twice the rate of the overall population, and women of color have been starting businesses at 4.5 times the rate of the overall population, according to Am...erican Express State of Women-Owned Business. Latino-owned businesses have been growing at a rate of two- to four times the rate of the overall population since 2015, when Porras’s organization began surveying them. He estimates that there are 1 million net new Latino-owned businesses created every five years." Felicidades mujeres for the powerful impact! Let's keep going! #NLBWAie #InlandEmpire #latinasinbusiness

MUJERES, NEVER STOP LEARNING Learning is a task that no Latina entrepreneur should ever cease to do. Whether it's continuing to master a trade or talent or learning a new one - continued learning builds possibility for improvement, new thoughts or ideas, and opportunity. Three great ways to learn from others is to surround yourself with those who excel at something you don't. Finding a mentor, joining a mastermind group like ours , or employing a board of directors ahead of your new business or venture is all valuable paths. #nlbwaie #latinasinbusiness #inlandempire #latinaentrepreneur
