Success is not just for a few individuals. It is for anyone who has the willingness to put in the work. But first, you must believe that you have what it takes to achieve your goals and dreams. All it takes is a simple mindset shift to unleash your inner champion. So, give yourself the permission to succeed and watch as doors start to open up for you.
Building a Leadership Mindset Founder, Nicky Cuesta worked regular hours just like any other employee. But her heart kept nudging her to take a leap of faith towards a different path. Eventually, she had to give in and listen to her inner voice. But this is not your typical corporate-to-entrepreneurship story, for Nicky has certainly much more to share about her journey.
Listen in as Nicky shares what her transition to entrepreneurship was like, the challenges she’s faced, and the kind of life she lives now because of her bold choice. Rachel and Nicky also discussed what it surrendering without giving up means, the value of consistency, the power of persistence even when others try to sow seeds of doubt in us, and Nicky’s takeaway about believing in your own greatness.
“Believe that you are great; believe that you have a purpose. God selects us very strategically for a purpose and it’s our job to find it.” —Nicky Cuesta

Meet Nicky:
Nicky Cuesta was born and raised in Chicago, IL for the first 20 years of her life and now resides in Philadelphia, PA since 2002. She moved with the courage to build a new life. She got her first big break in Corporate America with no background experience as a representative for a medical insurance company. She devoted her time to training and creating simple ways for her team to tackle their daily tasks. After 15 years with a strong desire to be her own boss, she finally gave herself permission to succeed in 2020. During a time of unease and uncertainty. It only took the power of faith and a mindset shift to pursue her current and future success.
She is now the founder and creator of Nicky’s Lifestyle Club, NC PA Notary, Kick Start Notary Mastery Course, and Building a Leadership Mindset. Nicky started by taking a self-inventory analysis of the last 15 years of her life. She started to adopt new habits, new ways to communicate, and a new perspective of why she is being led to her calling. Through that process, she developed a guide of 13 mindsets to “Give Yourself Permission to Succeed.” which is also the subtitle to her book Building a Leadership Mindset, and has created her 13 Week course C.R.E.A.T.E. S.U.C.C.E.S.S. This book will take you through the ins and outs of how she paved the way for herself and how you can too.
