3 TIPS PARA SER MOMPRENEUR Y NO MORIR EN EL INTENTO
9.8.17
Sabiendo nuestras metas creo podemos lograr avanzar poco a poco. Así que sin mas rodeo, les dejo mis 3 tips para lograr ser una mompreneur:
1. Aprovechar la siesta de tu hijo o trabajar un rato en las noches cuando el día esta más tranquilo. Además es importante tener prioridades. Yo recomiendo un bullet journal y pocas actividades por día para poder cumplirlas y tener más motivación para seguir.
2. Los fines de semana son perfectos para dedicar un poco de tiempo para trabajar. Pedirle al papá o familiares que cuiden a los hijos unas horas. Yo he trabajado en domingos.
3. Levantarse algunos días antes que todos (5:30 - 6 am) y avanzar un poco. Es una hora tranquila, la mente más fresca. Recomiendo dormirse temprano el día anterior.
Extra tip: mucho café y paciencia!!

LOVE POP-UP SHOP & DAYS LATELY
26.1.17
So happy to tell that this month has been productive, i have manage to get organize to make time for few things and to get done a virtual pop-up shop for this love season. Even if i could not finish some new products, I'm sure this weekend will get to it so i can add them to this e-shop and the other two POP that the brand is sold. By the moment productions are small but wishing to enlarge more vendors to get a bigger one. I started to make to-do list weekly with cute diagrams to get more inspire. Always all my notebooks where empty because they where too pretty to use them, but i started to write in them, i have a lot, I'm an addict to have all separate. A notebook for strategies, some other for general ideas, the product drawings and the bullet journal I'm trying to use it weekly, hope to manage this technique so i can share them. I have try to arrange work time at nights and when E. is getting her nap. And really by doing pretty to do-list like bullet journal it gets me more inspire seeing things organize. Im really realistic and put small duties per day and it feels less overwhelm and get things done in a better way. I hope i can write more about my days but a baby not so baby anymore has all my attention. How do you get organize? Do you have a method? Would love to know, you could write to me in the comments or send me an email. Don't let go of your ideas, goals and intentions. Till the next story.

9 TRUCOS PARA COMBINAR LA VIDA DE MAMÁ CON EMPRESA PROPIA

SLOW MOVEMENT // MOVIMIENTO LENTITUD
7.4.15
Carl Honoré en su Libro elogio de la lentitud. Vida slow habla sobre como en esta era tan acelerada de ganar batallas y contestar correos, el aprender a bajar el ritmo (alentarse) en el campo laboral es imperativo para la productividad y la felicidad por medio de horas flexibles y la importancia de hacer el tiempo más lento. Tema bastante interesante que la humanidad ha venido buscando para aprovechar el esparcimiento, lo cual no es un tema negativo de no hacer nada si no de buscar formas para que nuestra vida tenga un equilibrio entre placer-trabajo y la felicidad que lleva al éxito. Cuando uno esta relajado y feliz uno trabaja mejor, y si uno siente el control sobre su tiempo y horario, al sentirse calmado es más creativo y productivo sin aceleres.
Es cierto que este tipo de horarios flexibles aún ninguna empresa latinoamericana la incorpora, por eso muchos pagan el precio de ser autónomos por una vida mejor. Aunque muchos dueños de empresas propias terminan trabajando más, sería inteligente analizar el trabajar menos cuando sea conveniente y desacelerar el ritmo que esta era demanda con su tecnología para disfrutar en familia u otras actividades de placer para convertir esas menos horas de trabajo en productivas.
El tema de tecnología y correos puede ser suplantado por este movimiento, aunque suene a la antigua el acercarse a personas, clientes cara a cara hace gran diferencia en las maneras de trabajar de estos tiempos acelerados y hacer los procesos más rápidos y precisos.
Creo que esto aliviaría tanto stress, tantos problemas familiares y de salud. Poder disfrutar de las cosas importantes como cocinar sano, hacer yoga o deporte y disfrutar con seres queridos. En mi caso disfruto de cocinar, de decorar como hobby así como disfruto crear en mi proyecto para ser más feliz para mi y las personas que me rodean y poder crear sin quemar mi cerebro. Muchos considerarían los descansos como perdida de tiempo, pero más perdida de tiempo cuando la productividad se atora y no avanza, con tan solo tomarse descansos para hacer la vida más productiva bastaría.
Interesada mucho en este movimiento, lentamente iré por mi libro y hacer cambios a mi forma de trabajo y procesos. Vos que pensás? Buscás una mejor manera de vivir-trabajar y tener un balance? Nos encantaría poder platicar!
From my favorite things to do is read, i enjoy it a lot, and in this days i had the pleasure to relish the entrepreneur issue of Kinfolk mag. With a lot of interesting subjects that i will love to touch here in my BUSINESS ADVICE. I discover a theme and a book that looks so good and want to share in todays post: a movement call slow that talks about decelerating life to enjoy it, and in particularly in something that this era and past ones has been an obsession, to work more instead of looking to balance work and the pleasures that make us better persons and more productive.
Carl Honoré in his book In Praise of slowness: challenging the cult of speed talks about the sped-up world to win battles and answer emails, can learn to slow down in the work place, is imperative to productivity and happiness through flexible hours and the importance of downtime. A subject so interesting that mankind has been looking forward leisure, which is not a negative point of view of making nothing but instead to look for ways so our lives can have a balance between pleasure- work and happiness can lead to success. When you are relaxed and happy you work better, and if you feel in control of your time and schedule, feeling calm your more creative and productive without hurries.
Is true that this flexible hours of work non latin american companies has incorporate it, thats why so many people pay the price to be freelance to have a better life. Although a lot of business owners end working more, it will be smart to analyze to work less when convenient and slow down all things this era demands with its technology to enjoy family and other activities of pleasure to convert those less ours of work in productive ones.
The matter of tech and emails can be replace by this movement, sounding old movement, by reaching people and clients face to face, can make a big difference in the way this accelerate work times to make process quick and precise.
I think this will relieve so much stress, so many family and health problems. To be able to enjoy important things like healthier cooking, yoga or sports and get the most out of loving people. In my personal time i enjoy cooking, decorating as a hobby as the same i enjoy my project to be more happy for myself and people around me so i don't burn out in my creative process. Most consider time off like a waist of time, but i think it is worst when productivity gets stuck, taking breaks can just do the thing.
So interested in this movement, slowly i will go get my book and adjust changes in the way i work and my business process. What do you think? Do you seek for a better way to live-work and balance? Would love to hear!

RK DESIGN BRAND OWNER & JEWELRY MAKER
HOW WAS BLOGGING INFLUENCED YOUR CREATIVE JOURNEY?
I have been interested for many years in design and decoration.
When I started blogging It was first only a hobby and eventually it turned into a work.
When I saw how my style inspired others it gave me confidence to try my own business. Soon my shop began to be so busy that I decided to outsource it and now you can get my poster and others from Society6´s /rkdesign site.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I can get a wounderful idea somewhere when I least expect it.
I also love seeing beautiful pictures, art, and listening music.
HOW YOU BALANCE FAMILY AND YOUR JEWELRY AND BLOGGING BUSINESS?
Because I'm pretty ambitious, I did not want to blog If I can not write and do it a 100 per cent.
After I stopped blogging a small hole was left in my life, but also a lot of time.
Actually more than I understood.
I knew I was busy, and I just had to weed out some things and do them later so I could kept the balance in my life.
I am not one of those people who can concentrate to many things at the same time. Today, I am studying interior design in addition to my work and I also prepare jewelries to my bigcartel store.
I am really happy about that!

RACHELLE FRANCEYLA PETITE MAG
MAGAZINE OWNER & EDITOR
HOW WAS BLOGGING INFLUENCED YOUR CREATIVE JOURNEY?
Blogging has and will always inspire my creative journey! I find so much Inspiration via others blogs, Pinterest, Instagram and more! I have come to realize that finding inspiration is essential for success. The more that I find myself inspired the more creative ideas seem to flow.
I started a blog called Kenziepoo almost 7 years ago, which inspired me to start my magazine La Petite. I would have never been inspired to create La Petite if it wasn’t for my little blog Kenziepoo.
So many things Inspire me! I would say blogs, magazines, traveling, my friends & family are all top on my list!
In the beginning it was quite hard to balance my business & family life. Being a full time working Mom was hard! I quickly came up with a plan in which I organized certain days where I focused on my Family and other days I focused more on work. This really worked for me! I would also work a lot when my daughter was at school. This helped me in my workhome balance.

FOCUS
15.8.14
En el fanpage trabaje mantener un mood y un branding constante, hice unos machotes para solo dejar caer la foto, teclear la info, y mantener las dimensiones y similitudes en composición. Actualice el monograma a la foto de perfil y utilizaré el slogan cuando sea posible. Además de constancia con este recurso recortare procesos para tener más tiempo para otras cosas importantes. También organice perfectamente las fotos en las carpetas de albums para ser encontradas más fácilmente y mostrar el trabajo realizado como portafolio de servicios y productos ofrecidos. Así como acomodar y mencionar que las redes sociales están disponibles en tabs para no perderse de nada de lo que se hace detrás de cámaras.
Trabaje en todo el re-branding OY!, desde el sticker para empaque, redes sociales como twitter que esta dirigido a un público internacional. Aún falta integrar la marca al blog, pero si mantuve un look similar y ciertos elementos haciéndolo parte de toda la esencia. Los shops internacionales también fueron trabajados (etsy shop - society6 shop), pero aún faltan muchos detalles. Trabaje también unas postales para agradecer las compras en los envíos. El empaque será retrabajado también.
This past weeks besides the habitual things like packaging for retailers, planning seasons, taking pictures and maintaining social media, i was working in the image of the brand as well as international (OY!) and national (OH yei!).
I work on the fanpage to maintain a mood and a constant branding, i made some layouts to just drop pictures, type info, to keep same proportions and similiraty in composition. I updated the monogram in the profile picture and I'm using the slogan whenever is possible. Beside constancy with this resource i cut off process to have more time for other important things. I also perfectly organize all the photos in the actual albums so they could be find easily and show all work made like a service and product portfolio provided. I also organize and mention the tabs for social media so nobody misses al that happens behind scenes.
I work in re-brand, from the package tag sticker and social media. I still have to add the brand to the blog, but i maintained the essence with elements and style. The shops where also worked (etsy shop - society6 shop), but there are still so much details to work on. I made some post cards to thanks all the purchases. And the package needs to be work too soon.
