Episode #162: "I Have SOMETHING To Say" with special guest, Sandra Noemi Torres

I know so many people that have started their own business in the last couple of years, and a lot of them are fellow Latinas for whom it’s especially difficult to get access to…basically everything (i.e., introductions, invitations, capital, contracts, mentorship, sponsorships, certifications, commercial spaces, manufacturers, press and media coverage, etc.). So, for this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY I asked my dear friend Sandra Noemi Torres, Founder and CEO of Plan Your Company, to join me to discuss where, as Latina business owners, we have learned to invest our time, energy, and resources (aka money). We figured this conversation could perhaps prevent fellow entrepreneurs who identify as women of color from experiencing some of the pitfalls of “not knowing what you don’t know” regarding business ownership.
This is a very raw and candid conversation – that even takes a turn into existentialism, spirituality, and how we are all interconnected (Sandra takes it there!) – and we hope it offers some insight into what and who to avoid, what not to waste your hard-earned money on, where to invest your energy and re$ource$, and the importance of being mindful of the time you dedicate to yourself, certain tasks, other people and pursuing opportunities. It becomes very real very quickly that self-worth is at the epicenter of how to maximize all three: YOUR time, YOUR energy, and YOUR resources. It’s YOUR business and at the end of the day…you call the shots! ¡Tú eres la jefa!
