About me

 

Hey there! Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me and my online business, Belleza Maya. In case you were unaware, Belleza Maya translates to Mayan Beauty in English.

I was born in the beautiful city of San Marcos which is one of the main borders in the Republic of Guatemala. Guatemala is a country rich in culture and influenced by the Maya, hence the name Belleza Maya. Even though I left 25 years ago I am extremely proud of my heritage and want it to reflect in my business. 

Why start an online business? Why not? I contemplated the idea for a long time weighing the options of why I should and should not. I finally realized it was fear, fear of the unknown, and fear of failure that prevented me from pursuing my dream. All successful people have failed at one point in their lives, but they did not stop after their failure nor will I.

I want to instill this mindset in my three amazing boys, so they recognize that success comes from hard work, perseverance, and dedication. Along with faith and trust in themselves to go after their aspirations. My husband has been my support through this journey by believing in me more than I believed in myself. I am grateful for his unconditional love, support, and faith in me. 

We have worked hard on this project, a lot of late nights, and lots of coffee. I know this is just the beginning but "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Lao-Tzu). If you have a dream, no matter how big or small fight for it. Walt Disney said “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” so begin doing!!!
