Entrepreneurship is not just about building a business. It’s about embracing and building your life, your story. I was, up until recently, very reluctant to talk about my own story.
I’ve learned, though, telling your story helps you see how much you are ultimately responsible for it. That’s a scary proposition until you realize that you are the author.
I was challenged recently to tell my story via video by Angelica Perez-Litwin who runs a website for Latinas . The result is here:
The process has taught me that telling your story is paramount to acknowledging it, growing from it and ultimately, letting it go. Freeing yourself to write another one. My new story is just beginning. What’s your story?
Felicitaciones. te admiramos.
Alicia,
I love your video and story. I’m really glad that you are sharing your experiences with the broader world. You are one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever known. I admire your perseverance, courage and tenacity. You’ve been a great example to me and I am so happy that you are helping people see the possibility of being an entrepreneur!
Love
Jill
Luuuvved the video! How terrific! It’s so great you are collecting all of these experiences to look back on one day!
best, R
Alicia, I keep watching this video over and over again. It’s perhaps one of the most beautiful and touching videos I have ever watched. In just 4 minutes and 46 seconds, you manage to tell such a powerful story — leaving you wanting to see more — what’s next. But what’s next is so clear. You’re on to the best part of your life. We’ll be cheering you on.
Thanks for sharing your story. It is already changing other people’s stories as well.

Hello Alicia, thanks for share your life and experiences. I´m from Medellín, Colombia and in my opinion you are a brave woman. You are an example that being a winner is a long, long process and your are a “soul champion”. Thanks for inspire me and others.
i heart your video. you, in less than five minutes, described the way i feel about myself at this stage of my life – you took the words right out of my brain.
congratulations on your success! you are an inspiration. gracias!
Alicia,
The video is fantastic and what an amazing story of living a life without limitations. Congratulations! Being a fellow entrepreneur who also put myself through school, I can relate and cheer for you simultaneously!!

Alicia, what riches you’ve shared through your story. As awesome as your resume may be, it’s the story happening between and around the resume lines that makes you come to life in full relief. Thank you for sharing it, because it benefits us all.
All the best,
Tereza
Amazing story and told in such a wonderful way. You are extraordinary! Keep on with your success.

Alicia-what a inspirational, touching story. It is a huge relief to know you aren’t sure what you are doing either
Thank you so much for sharing your story.
