What is your secret to success? My secret to success is a combination of focus and passion. Never giving up on your goals and how you see yourself in the future. My favorite quote is “Te harder I work, the luckier I get.” How do you balance running a business and personal life? Balancing a business, friends and a family certainly becomes very challenging at times. As I travel quite frequently and work with people in many diferent time zones, time management is critical. I try to carve out time for myself each day by waking up early in the morning to work out, read, and organize my tasks. Technology is a great help while traveling to assist my kids with their homework through Facetime, to talk with teachers and coordinate with my staf. I’ve learned that in the end what’s most important is devoting all of my extra time to what matters most which is my family. What advice would you give other young women considering starting a business? If you have passion for what you do, it won’t feel like work and the money will follow. You need to be prepared to give your all and never forget that running your own business is 24/7. Surrounding yourself with a close inner circle of trusted team members is also a major key to success. What is your favorite thing about your business? When I was a little girl I had a dream that I would talk to people all over the world, and that has truly become a reality. I always had a vision of working globally, hence the name “OneWorld Properties.” When I was younger I would pretend that I was on the line with a client from France while I had someone calling me from Russia on the other line, and my dream has defnitely come true. Today, I go to sleep responding to emails from China and I wake up to emails from Brazil. Being able to travel and expand into new markets is what I love most about my business, and it gives me a competitive edge to learn global strategies that I can apply locally. How would you describe your personal style? My personal style is a modern take on Audrey Hepburn. I love classic elegance even when dressed in jeans, although I don’t mind spending the weekend in yoga pants when I’m with my kids.

What makes a woman powerful? To me what makes a woman powerful is the ability to balance it all. When you love your business, what you do, and know what you’re talking about - that’s powerful. Also, a great pair of shoes with a great purse always helps!
