Join me on One Week: Creating a Life and Business I love being in and near San Jose, Costa Rica. The last 10 weeks have flown by, and my time and travel to Costa Rica is coming to an end! I am planning to come back in July 2021.

The area in and near San Jose, Costa Rica is great to discover more about Costa Rica, as well as find many options as an entrepreneur, digital nomad, and traveler around the world.

During my first week in and near the area, not only did I create and scale a life and business I love, but I visited Avenida Escazu, Sin Domicilio Fijo, and experienced an incredible foodie experience in Escazu, Costa Rica.

Whether I created a life and business I love or experienced adventures, I grew in countless ways.

Creating a Life and Business I Love:

in and near San Jose, Costa Rica

In Week 10, I continued my experience and stay with my Airbnb in Escazu, Costa Rica: Joyeria Emilia Rodriguez. Escazu is about 10-15 min away from San Jose, Costa Rica downtown.

I picked Emilia's Airbnb because of her amazing outdoor space, private rooms, and rave reviews including going above and beyond with hospitality in every way. I have loved my stay!

This week, I got to experience Cocina Elektica (Eclectic Kitchen) thanks to Emilia's recommendation twice with Emilia and a third time with another Airbnb guest, Anna! She recommended Hacienda La Chimba as well!

Creating and Scaling a Life, Business, and Community

Whether you are a side hustler, work a 9-5, creating a life and business you love full-time, and/or traveling the world, I hope this series encourages and inspires you to take limitless leaps of faith.

If you are seeking freedom in your time, location, expression, community, and ultimately financial freedom, let's #createit. I am right here with you on a path of purpose to freedom (Gal 5:1).

There are ways to transform your wellness, online, media and travel. It may be with online courses, or seeking ways to automate and scale your business like a boss. Let's #createit.

One Week near and in San Jose, Costa Rica: Week 10

If you have followed my Creating a Life and Business You Love series, you know I spent my first month in La Fortuna, Costa Rica at Dragon Fly Hideaway. If you have followed along the journey of my being a #limitlessglobalgirl, you have seen the transition to Monteverde, Costa Rica including a jeep-boat-jeep tour across Lake Arenal. If you haven't yet, you may want to check out the series on the blog and show!

In comparison to my prior weeks. in Week 10 in Costa Rica, I loved creating and scaling a life and business I love while experiencing incredible adventures in and near San Jose, Costa Rica.

My Routines: Morning, Daily and Weekly

No matter where you are in the world, how you start your day is powerful in every way.

My Sacred 7 Morning with I Am's, Prayer, Positive Music, Bible Reading, Message, Journaling, and Movement sets me up for success.

My daily routine includes shake, tea and tabs with Herbalife Global Nutrition for 7+ years and counting. I lost over 55+ lbs and chose to be alcohol free 5+ years ago. I compete in fitness shows in National Physique Committee Bikini.

'Disclaimer: Average person loses .5 to 1 lb. a week with healthy active lifestyle.

All shots are my own on Canon EOSM100, Sony A330, and/or my iPhone 12 Mini.

Every week, I outline my week and days, and continue to align actions to my vision. Every week, things shift depending on faith, feeling and focus.

I outline my Create 7 to help me align actions. Create 7 includes launches, community, scale, clear, media, series, and projects. I practice self-accountability with tools and teams like Click-Up, Focus Matrix, and virtual assistant services. I am in mentorship and coaching currently with Herbalife Nutrition and Super Focus with Tommy Newberry.

All along the way, I envision and assess results in community, creators, and creatives.

Walking into the week, I envisioned:

1 Launch Items for Mastermind & Summit

2 Community Creation & Focus

3 Submitting Proposals & Pitches

4 Creator Focus on Videos & Reels

5 Clearing Emails, Team & Media Items

6 Mastermind & Summit Updates & Shares

7 Assessing Daily & Weekly Results

Super Focus

I am creating a life, business and community I love. I am receiving $3,000 - $25,000 daily-weekly-monthly easily for wellness, media, online & travel God willing with incredible community consistently by March. I am DAP, Supervisor and World Team with Herbalife in March.

This is my focus until I hit it not only once but consistent 3+ months. I will adjust after the third month of consistency to align to annual and legacy goals.

Top Three Priorities

1 Community: Sources and Scaling

2 Creators: Courses, Management

3 Creatives: Media, Series, and Books

I focus consistently on creating and scaling a life & business I love & helping others. This is done by integrating faith, wellness, marketing, business and travel.

Not only that, every online course & live experience includes tips, tools & technology for health, wealth, and business hands-on.

Over 75% of the business is automated via tools like Kajabi, Task Virtual, and Efficise. In Automate and Scale Your Business Like a Boss, I share automation and delegation including finding opportunities, social media, and business development.

I followed up on delegated tasks scaled via virtual assistant services.

I teach this hands-on in our online courses and retreats too. I outline tasks in 3-5 steps to automate and delegate. I continuously assess tasks to increase service, free up my time, and teach others to do the same.
