We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Diana Torres. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Diana below.

Diana, appreciate you joining us today. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being a business owner force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?

Oh honey, let me tell you! As a business owner, happiness comes in different flavors. There are days when I feel like I’m on top of the world, basking in the glory of my entrepreneurial journey. And then, there are those moments when I catch myself daydreaming about a regular job with its stable paycheck and predictable routine.

The last time I entertained the thought of having a regular job, I was knee-deep in a crazy workday. Deadlines were breathing down my neck, meetings were stacking up, and I felt like I was juggling a thousand tasks at once. In the midst of it all, I found myself yearning for the structure and stability of a 9-to-5 job. You know, the idea of having weekends off, a consistent paycheck, and leaving work at the office door.

But then it hit me, like a glitter bomb of realization. Working from home as a business owner gives me the freedom and flexibility I need due to my medical condition. It allows me to create my own schedule, take breaks when necessary, and tailor my work environment to my specific needs. No rigid office hours or endless commute, just the ability to craft a workspace that supports my well-being.

And here’s the cherry on top: working with other empowering women in the business world. The sisterhood, the camaraderie, the shared knowledge—it’s like having a squad of fearless boss babes by my side. We uplift and support each other through our shared passion for knowing our numbers and using that financial prowess to make a difference. It’s about more than just crunching numbers; it’s about empowering others and championing their success.

So, when I think about having a regular job, I remind myself of the sweet freedom and flexibility that being a business owner brings. It’s the power to work from the comfort of my own home, the joy of collaborating with incredible women, and the opportunity to make a real impact through financial empowerment. It’s a journey that’s uniquely mine, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Remember, my fellow hustlers, there may be days when we ponder the road not taken, but let’s embrace the freedom, the empowerment, and the flexibility that comes with being a business owner. Together, we’ll conquer the world, one spreadsheet at a time, and pave the way for a future where success and fulfillment go hand in hand. Keep slaying, keep empowering, and keep rocking that business of yours!

Have you ever had to pivot?

Oh honey, let me tell you about the time I made a bold pivot in my life and career. Picture this: I was working a regular 9-to-5 job, feeling unfulfilled and yearning for something more. I had a burning desire to create my own path, to have the freedom and flexibility to work on my own terms.

That’s when it hit me. I realized that staying at home due to my medical condition and starting my own firm was the ultimate game-changer. I could have the best of both worlds – doing what I love while having the flexibility to prioritize my health.

But here’s the real kicker: I wanted to surround myself with badass women, empowering each other through our shared knowledge and expertise. I craved connection and collaboration with like-minded women who were making their mark in the business world. And you know what? That’s exactly what I found.

I embarked on this new journey, building my own firm and creating a tribe of amazing women entrepreneurs. Together, we shattered glass ceilings, supported one another’s dreams, and celebrated our collective successes.

It hasn’t always been a smooth ride, though. Pivoting in life and business comes with its fair share of challenges. But through it all, I’ve learned the power of resilience, adaptability, and surrounding myself with a fierce network of women who lift me up.

What am I most proud of? It’s the incredible community we’ve built, where we empower and uplift one another. We’re rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a successful businesswoman, breaking barriers and embracing our unique strengths.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

In the midst of managing a chronic medical condition and raising my kids, I made the bold decision to leave my job and start my own business. It was a challenging journey, filled with setbacks and unexpected obstacles. But I refused to let circumstances define me.

I tapped into my resilience, adapting and pivoting when necessary. I sought support from loved ones and fellow entrepreneurs, learning valuable lessons along the way. Despite the difficulties, I prioritized self-care, embraced support systems, and found creative solutions to overcome challenges.

Today, I stand as a testament to the power of resilience. I’ve built a successful business while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. If you’re facing hurdles, know that resilience can be developed. Embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, seek support, and rise above adversity.
