Below we caught up with Juliana to learn more about her entrepreneurial journey so far.
Q: What are your top 3 favourite online apps, tools or resources and what do you love about them?
Juliana: LinkedIn and Instagram are great social media apps for building and maintaining a network of work people so your profiles on these apps are really important.
Xero is a great tool for small business owners to manage their finances when they are starting out. Whereby is also an excellent platform that helps to connect with my clients without complications or interruptions. It allows me to work online, anywhere at any time.
Q: What entrepreneurial tricks have you discovered to keep you focused and productive in your day-to-day busy schedule?
Juliana: Silence my phone and notifications. Designate a specific amount of time for certain tasks. Define my priorities every morning, usually doing the things I don’t want to do first so as not to procrastinate! Take breaks. Exercise and eat healthy.
Q: In one sentence, what’s the best advice you’d give to someone just starting out on their entrepreneurial journey?
Juliana: Listen to the voice in your head that gives you the drive, motivation, intuition and creativity to be a successful business owner. Block out the self-doubt and apprehension that lingers in the background!
Q: What’s one thing in your routine that you do consistently that has made a huge difference in your personal or business life?
Juliana: Meditation. I really try to practice what I preach and starting my day with a meditation session genuinely helps me start the day with a fresh perspective, focus on what’s important and remind myself to be grateful for everything in the past, present and future!
Q: What has been your most satisfying moment in business?
Juliana: I couldn’t define it to one specific moment, to be honest. My career satisfaction comes from having a positive impact on my clients’ lives. The most satisfying days are the ones when I know that person has turned a corner with their issues and we can then start the next phase of making them into their best version. That’s when the fun starts!
