The Importance of Not Giving up and How to Achieve the Change You Desire With Cenry Molinos

Perhaps you have all the self-doubts now hammering you down and preventing you from truly living up to your potential. And you think it's about time to pursue something else.

If challenges are beating you up and you are about to give up now and not carry on with your freelancing career, it's time to think again.

Find what you are capable of doing. Listening to others share their experiences and them overcoming their struggles might help you get new perspectives in carving out your freelancing path. Better yet, let's listen to today's episode.

Cenry Molinos is previously an LI lead generation specialist who handles B2B accounts internationally and helps other freelancers with their client acquisition. She is a vegan and a fitness enthusiast, and now she is transitioning into a new path. She has this new vision in helping entrepreneurs and biz owners with their overall wellness such as conscious eating and taking priority of their health.

In this episode' Cenry shares how giving up is not an option for her. When everyone doubted her, including her father, that fueled her desire to prove them wrong; with her ditching all the self-doubt and negative self-talk, she closed a deal that even she refused to believe herself. And that's not far from happening for you, too.
