03/17/23 • 34 min
Learn how to be resourceful with your money, and you’ll be investing in a better future.
Vera Jimenez is a weather person, entrepreneur, and philanthropist who shares tips and tricks for making your money work for you. So many money-making gurus gatekeep their knowledge and make opportunities seem few and far between, but this is not the case because there are plenty of opportunities for smart investments and managing your money wisely.
The key is having the passion for obtaining your goals and starting your ventures, but quickly switching to business mode and knowing when it’s time to sell and move on. Seek out networking groups, take a course, listen to a podcast, and pay it forward by sharing what you learn with other women. Don’t let your money scare you, make it work for you!
🏭 Vera was the youngest of 6 kids in a family without a father: her mother dreamed a life for Vera that doesn't involve working in a factory. 03:29
💼 Vera's mother saw entrepreneurship as misery, uncertainty, and fear, but Vera wanted to be her own boss: she started working at 15. 05:32
🚘 You're allowed to go into debt only for a house and a car: Vera leads a debt-free lifestyle. 10:13
🔵 Entrepreneurs fall in love with their idea so much that they forget to take the emotion out and think logically: Vera sold the restaurant right before Covid, bought a property she fell in love with, and then had to short-sell it. 12:26
💰 We mom-mode our businesses, so we forget to be tough: if you're going to buy property, you have to make a profit the day that you purchase it. 18:09
✅ Always look at the market you're buying in if you want to be a real estate investor. 21:03
💲 Vera owns homes, invests in a commercial real estate trust, invests with partners, and lends finances: money is energy - it goes out and comes back in, so spending well is as significant as earning well. 23:54
❤️ People move to California to feel that connection with nature: the risk-reward is valid. 30:20

Regina Huber - Connect With Your Heart To Own Your Value
The key to being seen and heard is truly owning your own value. Regina Huber is the CEO of Transform Your Performance, where she coaches individuals and groups by finding and owning their own values. A common problem for women in the workplace is a lack of confidence and understanding of our beautiful strengths and talents. To realign with our values we need to reconnect with our hearts, learn to value the richness of our wisdom and story, and build up our confident presence with a positive “heartset.” Presenting yourself with an empowered and confidence-filled energy can help you show up with the courage and authority needed to be recognized for your true worth. Let your mind be led by your heart and own your true value!
🌸 Women entrepreneurs worldwide have a problem with owning their value: a lot of the decisions that did not work out were the ones where Regina didn't fully trust herself. 02:55
✅ Concretize your values - it's all about how we package the stories we tell ourselves and others: know, own, and show your worth. 05:46
❣️ Fear is in the mind, courage in the heart - when we let our minds be led by our hearts it's usually more powerful: use your energy to connect with your heart. 09:52
✨ Human Design is astrology that defines the 5 roles people can be in and helps them recognize the one that fits them best. 13:48
🤩 Different people go through different life paths and lessons: find your richness and value. 17:12
🧑 Leadership starts with self - if we are not self-aware, we cannot understand others. 19:52
🧠 Sometimes we need advice or information, but the decision must always ours: step out of the victim mode and into a self-empowering mindset. 22:45
➡️ It's more emotionally challenging to shut something down and let something go than it is to start something new because it's so hard to forgive ourselves. 27:23
🤝 Connecting to our hearts requires a little bit of trust and patience: we sometimes work best with a specific type of people. 29:42
💭 We need to remind ourselves that many thoughts are not even ours: don't listen to everything that's going on in your head. 34:06
