Why did I get started?

Before I received the opportunity to develop my own business, I found myself extremely frustrated because I was living in the land of opportunity, a country where wishes come true and my current situation was not going according to plan. Unfortunately I had fallen victim to the monotony of living day by day, paycheck to paycheck and I was just getting by or barely surviving. It got to the point where I forgot what I truly wanted out of life and specifically what I wanted for myself. Since I was a young girl, I knew I had been born to do great things, things that throughout the years I hadn’t discovered I could achieve.

I hadn’t discovered my abilities and how I could impact this world in a positive manner. I had fallen victim to the American System, where we are encouraged to just get by and forget about our personal goals and dreams. Once the opportunity presented itself to work with my better future, not only did I see with clarity how valuable the information was, but that I could develop myself, better my life, my economic situation and my dreams. Today I am very proud of allowing myself to start and continue to this day, this amazing career. A career that has brought forth greatness within. This has accelerated my personal growth immensely, along with my economic situation and my professionalism.

BIO

I am originally from Colombia and I am thankful for the sacrifices my beautiful mother made of bringing my two sisters and myself, in order to give us a better future in the US since 2006. It has been a great privilege to have been brought to the US and to have been able to take advantage of the great opportunities in this country.

I am the mother of a beautiful son and an amazing daughter, which are and have been the pillars of motivation that have made me come as far as I have in this country. During the first years in the States, I’ve always looked for the best opportunities this country had to offer and how could I not allow my mothers efforts to be in vain. Unfortunately I fell for the consumer oriented culture that has swallowed millions of people all over the country. I was only able to survive on the income I had and was not able to enjoy the wonderful life this country had to offer.

In 2014 I was blessed with the opportunity.  To which I am completely grateful to God for the opportunity, as well as to the people who helped and supported me in developing the business system. There have been many years of learning and growth. The most curious thing is that when I started with the company I knew nothing about finances and I barely spoke any English. My first language is Spanish and I’m guessing you could guess my frustration with all these financial terms, especially in a different language. At that moment I told myself something that has brought me to where I currently am in my life today, I either learn finances or I will learn english, but I will learn something!

Consequently I have come to learn both and have gained immensely from working with the company as well as from learning English of course. I am very happy I gave myself the opportunity of working with the company and not having to look back asking the old fashioned “What If” question that haunts a lot of people. Regardless, I believe that it all starts with that small desire to do something and be somebody in this world. I know I was born to do great things and I am certain that KP is the vehicle that will take me where I want to go in life and my children are the engine of that vehicle.

What do you enjoy most about being part of KP Financial Firm?

My personal growth is definitely what I enjoy most about KP Financial Firm. I am NOT the person I was in 2014 and this is only the beginning of my personal development journey. I know the higher version of myself is a matter of time, focus, discipline, consistency and always giving 100%. It is of great satisfaction to have the power of improving the financial qualities in people’s lives and to bring this valuable information to the Hispanic community.

What are some of your accomplishments in the business?

One of the biggest accomplishments is that I am not the person I was when I started, not even close. I was a shy, timid, introverted person that wanted to conquer the world, but didn’t have the necessary tools to achieve that goal. I am in love with the person I have become, not only because of what I’ve achieved professionally and all other aspects of my life, but because I have given my family a better, more secure financial future.

What are some of the things you are looking forward to in the future?

Leave a legacy for my family and have a positive impact in the Hispanic community in the financial field.
