Navigating hard tasks is a lot of growth opportunity. Even for 9 to 5s, entrepreneurship, executive leadership. For a lot of us at Latina Professionals, we have navigated many different paths and challenges faced within our careers to create new approaches. Along the way we had discovered: 3 approaches to mentoring our minds to make navigating hard tasks more enjoyable. 1. -> Create A Reward System. ↳ This helps build a routine to celebrate your progress over milestones. 2. -> Execute An Action Plan That Aligns. ↳ Creating a routine that fits with your daily habits helps make the task feel less draining to pick up momentum on. 3. -> Visualize A Manageable Pace ↳ Sustaining momentum by visualizing our end goals and setting down benchmarks to say “I will do one more rep” helps encourage setting down limits while pushing for growth. P.S: What's one best career advice your boss has given you towards advocating growth at a steady pace?

Small Businesses, Mariachi, and the Heart of Our Economy 🎶 🌮 Nothing like a taco and a tearjerker ranchera como “Se me Olvido Otra Vez” take you back in time! Singing at Taqueria Los Pericos in San Leandro hit me with all the nostalgia—this was a place where we used to take my mamá Chole and tía Lupe, who are now watching from heaven, after Church when I was a kid. It’s crazy that after all these years, the tacos and the memories are still just as good. But let’s talk about how the economy really works in our communities. Yesterday, we didn’t plan for a mariachi. They walked into the taqueria, offering their music table to table—hustling the way so many small businesses do every day. Of course, I couldn’t resist. One song turned into another, and suddenly, I was somehow the lead singer (thanks to my momma, she had a special request). This is the beauty of local businesses. The taqueria, the mariachi, the people enjoying their meals—it’s all connected. Small businesses aren’t just about transactions; they’re about culture, tradition, and creating opportunities for the community. At ESO Ventures, we’re expanding our partnerships to help more small businesses thrive—because when they do, entire communities benefit. If your city or organization is ready to invest in its entrepreneurs and activate local economic development, let’s talk. And if you need a singer, well… I might just be available. 🎤 #Entrepreneurship #EconomicDevelopment #SmallBusiness #LatinoBusiness #CommunityWealth #ESOventures #SupportLocal #MariachiEconomics
