What Rules!?: A career podcast for women of color

38. Perla Tamez, Serial Entrepreneur, on Grabbing Fear by the Horns


Listen Later

When you're starting something new or making a significant change in your life, whether it be a new job, starting a business, standing up for yourself, or even public speaking, fear is inevitable. Listen as Alisa, Rosa, and Merary discuss what they learned from philanthropist and entrepreneur, Perla Tamez, about looking fear right in the eyes and facing it head-on.

"When I see fear it's like 'okay, let me go grab it by the horns.' Look at it in the eyes and I'm pushing forward because it's like a bull. And so, for me, it's like playing a game. Wherever it's difficult, that's where you need to go in." – Perla Tamez, Owner, Love Soldiers Foundation

  • your vision is bigger than your fear
  • staying focused when fear creeps in
  • using your charm while thinking like a man
  • being your own judge
