Overcoming fear: An immigrant's story.
What if your biggest fears became a reality. Would you die of embarrassment? Would you move countries? In this episode I share very personal stories about being multilingual, and not been able to express myself fully in other languages than my native Spanish. What does that have to do with business? Everything, in my case I stopped me for years from fully showing up because I was always self-conscious and feared that people would be mad at me or make fun of me for my not perfect English. Well, guessed what? My fears were realized, and even more I was humiliated by a college professor. It took me a LONG time, to take my power back and unapologetically FULLY show up and not be faced by the irrelevant comments you may faced (because you WILL face them at one point or another) but KNOW that you will NOT die, you will NOT fail, you WILL be able to go on. Don't rub the world of your greatness because of a perceived OR experienced fear. You need to share your gift with the world. THAT's what you should care about, not about being perfect because Perfection is an illusion. In fact, perfection is an excuse.

The Power of Personality: Using Uniqueness to Attract YOUR People
In today's VERY short but sweet Episode, we're going to talk about a topic that's near and dear to my heart: repelling clients. That's right, I'm a self-proclaimed (if secretly) rebel who likes to go against the grain and today, I want to discuss the concept of repelling clients. I have personal experience with taking on the wrong type of clients. I didn't have a clear idea of what kind of clients I wanted to attract, and it caused a lot of headaches and stress. But I learned my lesson and want to share my experiences with you. This isn't about being polarizing for the sake of being polarizing, but KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that sharing your point of view can bring more of the RIGHT for YOU audience, and it's okay if not everyone loves you, in fact I would go as far as to say, it's required. If you're feeling nervous and uncomfortable with the idea of repelling clients, don't worry, I've got you covered. By doing so you attract the right people to you. It's like a magnet, the more you repel, the more you attract your people. So let's dare to repel and create a powerful Personal Power Legacy brand that truly reflects who we are.

I am Brand Photographer and THIS is why I hide it.
Brand Photography is an investment, for you and for me. Time and resources go into a well planned, flawlessly executed brand photoshoot. In this episode I'm walking you through not only my journey to becoming a Brand Photographer, but also the big reason why I don't promote the service. Alignment and integrity are hugely important to me, and if this resonates you will see that my decision applies to a lot of areas in business. It's NEVER easy to pull the plug on something you love and brings income but at the end of the day, it's also about your reputation and your clients best interested, if what you are looking is building your legacy business.

Want access to the most exclusive Coach for free? Find out how
The best and most reliable wisdom will come from you, always and always. That's NOT to say a coach or mentor are not needed. My biggest leaps have happened working with amazing mentors. But accessing your own intuition and wisdom is unmatched to any advice one can be given. That's why I have decided to release the tool I use to help my clients achieve just that. And in this episode I am demystifying and making a clear distinction between visualization and vison-ing. Visualization is a process where you’re controlling the image you see in your mind, while vision is a process where you’re allowing the image to come to you from your intuition or higher consciousness. Visualization works from the outside-in, while vision works from the inside-out. Access my Future Self Vision-ing Exercise here (on.soundcloud.com/eCYGT) and let me know how it goes.

The Hidden Power of Clarity in Life & Business. Why I think it's an underrated powerful tool.
Clarity is the beacon that illuminates our path to greatness; it ignites the fire within, guiding us to unleash our fullest potential and reshape our destiny with unwavering conviction. Clarity is not tangible, therefore you can't use it in your message. They say. Clarity is not sexy, no one cares. They say. Clarity is subjective. They say. And yet time and time again I have experienced and witness that when I or my clients gain a new level of clarity quantum leaps happen. Clarity is.simply.underrated. But today we are going to bring it back into vogue. Because Clarity can be the thing that help you once and for all have the breakthrough you always imagined was reserved for the few, and never for you. Despite its importance, clarity is often underrated and considered unsexy because it does not appear as glamorous or exciting as other aspects of business, such as innovation or disruptive strategies. Clarity may seem basic or even mundane, but its impact on business success is significant. Clarity provide confidence, unwavering positioning, courage, and conviction. With Clarity you are better equipped to navigate challenges and uncertainties with a sense of assurance and determination. Clarity acts as a compass, guiding you while minimizing distractions and doubts.

Breaking the Niche-ing Trap: with a focused expansive alternative.
While we have been sold the idea that niche-ing can be rigid, restrictive process. Where if you don't go down to the last little detail of your audience or the problem you solve you are doing something wrong. I want to give you 'permission' to see it from a slightly different perspective. Niche-ing is just a tool, strategic maybe but just a tool, and only a part of the equation at that. Now before anyone gets offended, let me be clear. I am not saying niche-ing is NOT important, it is. What I am offering here is an alternative way to look at it, so that both you and your potential clients get to experience a more expansive, and freeing process and leave room for evolution and growth. -------------------------------------------- Here's the link to the Legacy Masterplan™ (https://www.mariaines.co/work-with-me/legacy-masterplan) mentioned in the episode.

From Puzzle Pieces to a Legacy: Building Holistic Business Visions.
At some point or another we feel that our businesses are just a collection of puzzle pieces (you know from those 1000 piece boxes) with no rhyme or reason. This can leave us feeling unfocused, confused and uninspired. Your business is not the problem, YOU are not the problem. What has happened is that we have built our business, our knowledge and even our strategies in a vacuum, by putting piece by piece together. And from time to time we need to take a more holistic approach so that we ensure that all the pieces we do have actually support our grand vision. It's about back engineering your business so that you are always supporting that big vision. In this episode I explore how my Personal Power Chord framework can help you get started with making sure that the puzzle pieces you do have support a grand vision, your legacy and if not what to do about it. ========================= If this episode resonated with you, please share and review the Podcast so I know you are interested in more of these topics. Also if you are curious on how to create your own puzzle box and want to explore what we can do together, get in touch with me. Right now I have 3 spots available for the Personal Powerhouse Assessment, a 55+ data points assessment that will give you a clear roadmap on how to collapse the time between where you are and where you want to be in your business. It's a powerful bespoke report that will give you tons of clarity and direction. So don't miss out the change to try it out at an incredible introductory offer.

Why "Being Consistent" is BS, and what to do instead.
Consistency for the sake of consistency is a trap. Consistency as many other topics in our industry is nuanced. In this episode I take a look at it from a different perspective. So take a deep breath and relax, your are NOT failing, it is the advice we have been given that's wrong, NOT you. You CAN be consistent if you make it a byproduct NOT the means to an end.

Episode 11: Twelve Biz Lessons My Toddler Taught Me. Fear is learned.
"Your dreams are on the other side of fear" I don't know who said that but it's not mine. But I love it because if there's a place that triggers all our fears even the ones we didn't know we had is entrepreneurship. But watching my little one navigate life and how she has learned ONLY after trial and tribulations and pain how to be more cautious but what I admire in her and that she DOES do them. Sometimes even after falling or hitting herself many times. And it gets me wondering. Where are we staying safe because of a real or imagined fear of...(failure, or even success?) I leave you with that food for thought as you listen to this week's episode. Connect with me https://instagram.com/mariainesco_ (https://instagram.com/mariainesco_)

Episode 10: Twelve Biz Lessons My Toddler Taught Me. Hug someone today, just because.
Happy 2023! My daughter is a huger, and I confess as a huger myself I LOVE IT! After the last two years we've had I think it's specially important to not assume that people know how we feel about them or what they mean to us, because sometimes we all just need to hear it. So in line with starting a new year, what about just telling someone how important they are to you, and make a little difference in someone's life! And with that, let's get 2023 started, shall we?

Start 2023 Differently. Special invite!
This is a break in the series of the podcast but I think it is an important one. With all the "New Year" plan your year, word of the year out there, I for one feel a little bit overwhelm. I used to do them, so I am not saying they are not useful, but as with everything, tools are like flavours, some are just not meant for you, no matter how popular they may be. So instead I am offering another 'flavour' in case this is more your jam. I am going to be running my powerful Future Self Visioning as a Masterclass. This is reserved only for my clients. But I know that this signature exercise is unique and different and especially useful in this time of the year. I tried the planning workshops but they are just not for me, word of the year is a nice thing to have but it didn't get me anywhere. But this! This has been in my person arsenal for the last three years and it's powerful because it takes you on a journey into your subconscious, where there are no limitations, doubts, or fears, and only your truest dreams and desires are revealed. (even some you never knew you had) While at the beginning of the year, we often focus on planning for the year ahead, I believe in flexibility and staying motivated and inspired for the long run. And the revelations that happen during this masterclass will do just that. With my help we will turn what may seem like nonsensical information into clear, actionable steps towards a fulfilling and authentic life that exceeds your goals and wildest dreams, instead of focusing on fixed goals we will look at creating milestones for this or the upcoming years, the point is to get you clear on your direction, the road you take to get you there is up to you!

Episode 9: Twelve Biz Lessons My Toddler Taught Me. Shake it off, and if that doesn't work it's ok to cry!
If you are listening to this episode at the time of release December 21, 2022 then Happy X-mas! Whether you celebrate it or not, this is a time to cozy up and spend some time with your loved ones. If you are listening to it another time, let's get on with it shall we? This one is actually my older sister who gave me the idea. She used to tell her little girl to 'shake it off' when they had a minor fall or bump. And I thought it was brilliant because you could see in their little faces that the moment went from escalating into just a game and my sister gave them a chance to asses weather the incident required a full on cry or just a kiss on the booboo and move on. Similar for us in business, sometimes because we are not in touch with our feelings or because we have been taught by society that women cannot or should not express their feeling too much otherwise is considered overreacting sometimes we bottle it up so much that they may come out at the wrong time and in the wrong way. So when a client frustrate us, our partners drives us crazy, a comment triggers us, think "Shake it off" and assess what are you feeling? Why are you feeling what you are feeling? Does it require a full blown tantrum (figuratively speaking) or can we just kiss the booboo and let it go. The point is being more in tuned with our feelings and that sometimes requires us to take some time off of everything, especially in these holiday season.
