Episode Highlights
Teresa’s Journey

- Teresa shares that even though she is not exactly sure how she made her monthly targets, she hustled by networking and showing up in the appropriate places at the right time as an investment for herself and her business.
- Teresa shares that the need to provide for herself and her family motivated her the most when she started her business because her main goal was making money. However, as she continued the journey, she learned more about the boundaries of business and the things that mattered the most.
Missteps along the way
- Teresa explains that while she was well experienced and knowledgeable about her area of focus, one of her main missteps was incorrect pricing. She shares that she didn’t understand her value in her start-up stages and this resulted in people not believing in the quality of work as they thought that the prices were too low to be true.
- Teresa shares that another major misstep for her was the mindset she had. She explains that her previous experience in the corporate world encouraged hard work and didn’t give much attention to personal and family life. However, becoming an entrepreneur made her discover the importance of confidence, drive, and determination.

What defines success or failure?
- Teresa explains success and failure are purely dependent on someone’s personal goals.
- She shares that one of the tools she uses to help her define or measure her success is goal setting. She explains that it gives you something to measure by so you will know whether or not you succeed or fail at a particular goal.
- She also explains how a personal experience taught her that changing her mindset when things don’t work in her favor can help her learn valuable lessons.
- Teresa also shares that creating an action plan is also helpful for business owners to become successful. She explains that action plans help you figure out what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change. She explains that by achieving one action, you are one step closer to achieving your goal.
- She also shares that sometimes things don’t always work out as we originally intended. However, we should count the outcome as a lesson and use it as an avenue to try a different approach and trust that things will work out.
