So, ok, I wanted to start this business. I had big dreams of a subscription service that would bring curated and VERY carefully chosen Spanish books to bilingual families every month, along with other book-themed items that would celebrate all of the different cultures and traditions under the Latinx umbrella.
I also had zero idea of how to start a business.
You know how there are some people that are seriously entrepreneurial? I… was not one of those people. I LIKED working for someone else.
But in this case it felt like I was being pushed to do something I was highly uncomfortable doing, and one of the biggest reasons I felt that way was that the audition for Univision Arizona’s “Véndeme tu sueño” contest was just a few weeks away. “It’s a sign!” I said to my husband.
And so, armed with only a piece of paper that roughly outlined my business plan, I sallied forth to convince the judges that I deserved one of the few spots in this Shark-Tank style competition.
