What you’ll learn in this interview:

The importance of staying true to yourself
Why charity is important
The concept of philentrepreneur
Why working ‘hard’ is an antiquated concept
Why passion in anything you do is important

1. What do you do? Who do you help?

After leading a small team using my experiences in nutrition, organic gardening and business to create an innovative and successful non-profit-organization through collaboration, integrity and passion, I started to recognize where there was a human need.

So I started researching, initiating and developing businesses and have been setting up successful and sustainable aid projects. This is how I started my NGO, Living Heart Peru.

2. List your favorite business tools.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Planoly – Instagram scheduler.
SmarterQueue – Facebook scheduler.

EMAIL MARKETING

ConvertKit – great for any type of business or nonprofit.

DIGITAL PRODUCT

Print on Demand – create your own brand in a few minutes.

ACCOUNTING

QuickBooks Online – every business needs accounting software to help you focus on expanding the business.

3. What is a good course, website or book you would recommend and why?

COURSES

The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck – the book offers a keen perspective as to why we often fail in life. Consumed with the perceptions of others, concerned with the presumed permanence of existence. I listened to the audio book, which is narrated in such a way that keeps the listener interested.

WEBSITES

4. What is the best piece of advice you have received?

If someone hurts you, remember that ‘hurt’ people, hurt people. Do not take it personally.
If something breaks your heart, pick up the pieces and give pieces of your heart to everyone you meet.

5. What advice would you give to other entrepreneurs?

Don’t give up. If you are passionate about something stay true to it. Adjust when you need to but don’t give up.
Give something back; find a passion other than yourself or your own success. Make your success someone else’s also. I’ve become a Philanthropist Entrepreneur or a Philentrepreneur- merging the two together.
