iza,

I had a call with my auntie yesterday.

She’s the best. I remember her always being so kind and encouraging of me when I was little.

She’s starting her business and she asked for some help as she gets ready to create her first offer.

She said something that I think is SO true that I wanted to share with you, iza.

She said, “I’m so glad that I know you because it makes me trust you that you won’t steer me wrong.”

She also added, “I see a lot of people on the internet talking about business stuff but I never know if I can trust them.”

I think this SO TRUE!

My auntie can inherently trust me because she knows me, through and through.

She watched me grow up.

iza, I wish you saw me grow up, too.

I wish I could snap my fingers and you’d instantly feel as confident as my auntie does that I have got your back and would never steer you wrong.

But since we can’t go back in time, I can do the next best thing.

I can keep showing up for you TODAY, iza.

Sharing my business tutorials.

Being open about my struggles.

Keeping all financials transparent.

I genuinely feel like I care about every single person in my community the way I love my aunt.

I want us all to win, iza!

Love you,

Maria
