47. Background Tanya Menendez CEO and Co-Founder, Snowball Wealth My parents are immigrants from Nicaragua 🇳🇮and El Salvador 🇸🇻 I’m the ﬁrst in my family to be a full time CEO I learned from my parents that we aren’t deﬁned by the circumstances we are born in #PrimeroPasos @makertanya

48. My Career 2009 - Strategy and Integration Team #PrimeroPasos @makertanya 2012-2017 - Co-Founder and COO/CMO 2019 - Co-Founder and CEO 2010-2011 - Analyst 2017-2019 - Break + Consulting—

49. Lesson 1: There is No Playbook. No one will ever tell you that you are ready. You don’t need anyone’s permission. It will always feel scary and intimidating to do something for the ﬁrst time. Take it one step at a time. #PrimeroPasos @makertanya

50. Lesson 2: Bet on Yourself and Dream Big. Create a vision for your future without restriction. Anything is possible, but you have to be both patient and determined. Each time you reach a new milestone, you'll keep gaining conﬁdence to get to the next one, and the next one. #PrimeroPasos @makertanya

51. Know that it is normal to feel lonely, especially if you are the ﬁrst in your family to work in tech, or the ﬁrst to start a business. Your family might not understand or even support you in the beginning but be patient. Reframe this as an opportunity to pave the way for future Latinx and to increase representation. #PrimeroPasos @makertanya Lesson 3: Keep Pushing.

52. Continuously focus on your personal growth. Read books on the industries you are interested in, attend webinars and events, follow people you admire on Linkedin, Instagram and Twitter. Create a support system: I personally have an executive coach and group of founders who I talk to on a regular basis. #PrimeroPasos @makertanya Lesson 4: Scale Yourself.

53. Last Thoughts: Being Latinx What I learned from my Latinx and immigrant heritage: • Grit • Determination • Drive • Ability to learn quickly • Take risks • Perspective
