How Dominican Roots Propel Adjuster Groups to New Heights
As we celebrate Dominican Republic’s Independence Day on February 27th, we honor the resilience, resourcefulness, and cultural pride that define Dominican heritage. This day is not just a reminder of the nation’s history but also a celebration of the Dominican spirit that thrives far beyond the island’s borders.
“Being Dominican has taught us resilience and resourcefulness,” they share. “It’s about embracing our heritage, uplifting others, and finding joy in the journey.”
A shining example of this spirit is Adjuster Groups LLC, founded by husband-and-wife team Jose Enrique Rodríguez and Maileny Valenzuela Rodríguez. Their journey is one of perseverance and vision, starting with humble beginnings in the Dominican Republic and growing into a successful business spanning 28 states.
Jose Enrique’s entrepreneurial spirit began early, with his first job as a shoe cleaner in the Dominican Republic. Maileny, who migrated to the United States with her parents at the age of three, brought with her the determination and drive that are hallmarks of Dominican culture. Together, they’ve built a thriving business, showcasing the power of hard work and the importance of staying connected to their roots.
Adjuster Groups LLC stands as more than just a successful business—it’s a platform for empowerment. Through their work, Jose Enrique and Maileny inspire not only Dominicans but individuals from all backgrounds to pursue entrepreneurship and realize their dreams. Their story highlights how cultural pride and a strong vision can overcome challenges and create meaningful impact.
On this Dominican Independence Day, we celebrate not just the freedom of a nation, but the enduring spirit of its people. Jose Enrique and Maileny Rodríguez remind us that by honoring our roots and embracing our communities, we can all build legacies that uplift and inspire.
Here’s to the resilience, pride, and boundless potential of the Dominican spirit. Happy Independence Day!
President Donald Trump 47th president of the United states
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, marking the beginning of his second, non-consecutive term. In his inaugural address, President Trump outlined a comprehensive “America First” economic agenda aimed at revitalizing the nation’s economy and providing new opportunities for businesses.
KEY ECONOMIC POLICIES ANNOUNCED:
1. Implementation of Tariffs on Foreign Goods: President Trump proposed the creation of an “External Revenue Service” to manage tariffs on imported goods. This initiative is designed to generate significant revenue for the U.S. Treasury and encourage domestic production. However, it’s important to note that such tariffs could lead to increased costs for consumers.
2. Combating Inflation: The President pledged to address inflation through executive orders aimed at reducing the cost of living. This includes reversing policies that promote green energy and enhancing domestic oil drilling efforts to lower energy costs.
3. Immigration Overhaul: A significant aspect of the new administration’s policy is the enforcement of stricter immigration laws, including the deportation of unauthorized immigrants. This move is expected to impact various sectors of the economy, particularly those that rely heavily on immigrant labor.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESS:
Given these policy shifts, businesses can position themselves to take advantage of the changing economic landscape:
• Domestic Manufacturing Expansion: With the introduction of tariffs on foreign goods, there is a strategic advantage for companies to either maintain or establish manufacturing operations within the United States. This move can help mitigate the impact of tariffs and appeal to consumers prioritizing domestically produced products.
• Energy Sector Investments: The administration’s focus on increasing domestic oil production presents opportunities for businesses involved in the energy sector. Companies can explore investments in oil drilling, infrastructure development, and related services to align with the government’s energy policies.
• Labor Market Adjustments: Stricter immigration policies may lead to changes in the availability of labor, especially in industries traditionally reliant on immigrant workers. Businesses should proactively assess their labor needs and consider strategies such as investing in automation, enhancing worker
training programs, or exploring alternative labor sources to adapt to the evolving labor market dynamics.
STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS:
To effectively navigate and capitalize on these policy changes, businesses should:
• Stay Informed: Regularly monitor policy developments and legislative changes to understand their potential impact on operations and strategic planning.
• Engage in Advocacy: Participate in industry associations and engage with policymakers to advocate for favorable business conditions and provide input on proposed regulations.
• Evaluate Supply Chains: Assess and, if necessary, restructure supply chains to reduce reliance on imports subject to new tariffs, thereby minimizing cost increases and supply disruptions.
• Invest in Technology: Consider adopting new technologies to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs, which can be particularly beneficial in adapting to changes in labor availability and production costs.
By understanding and responding strategically to the new administration’s policies, businesses can not only mitigate potential challenges but also leverage new opportunities for growth and competitiveness in the evolving economic environment.

Embracing New Beginnings
Nature reminds us of what a new beginning looks like each season. The trees shed dry and withered leaves. Some animals molt their skin. The change from winter to spring announces that new life is on its way. The same happens with the passing of each year—changes arrive, bringing with them the wonderful possibility of new beginnings. This means that we must leave behind the old, what no longer adds to the new season we are about to begin. We step into this new beginning with learned lessons of the past, with our minds and hearts open to receive the new. We must let go of fear, doubt, and especially the guilt that weighs us down and prevents us from walking lightly to accomplish our goals. Recognizing that it is the small steps, the constant and committed actions, that will pave the way so we can arrive at our goals and dreams. In which areas of your life do you want to see a new beginning? Perhaps, In your finances, in your relationship with your children, in your personal development? Within you lies what you need—your desire to move forward, to improve. A firm determination that’s unwavering. Let us welcome 2025 with intentionality, clarity and committed to our goals.
This is the time to embrace change and create the life we truly desire!

Santo Domingo, R.D. – The Association of Art Chroniclers (Acroarte) proudly announced the renewal of its partnership with Univision, the leading Spanish-language network in the United States, to broadcast the 40th edition of the prestigious Premios Soberano.

only a cultural triumph but also a historic achievement for Univision, which streamed the ceremony live from the Dominican Republic via Univision NY and ViX.

the Entrepreneuria Brain
How Neuroscience Can Guide You to Overcome Uncertainty and Achieve Success
The year 2025 is shaping up to be a period of significant transformations, especially in the political and economic landscape of the United States. Expectations are mixed, and the fear of the unknown has begun to paralyze many entrepreneurs. However, in times of uncertainty, the greatest risk is not making a wrong decision—it’s not making any decision at all.
When facing change and uncertainty, the human brain activates ancestral defense mechanisms: fight or flight. These responses are deeply embedded in our biology and are directed by two key systems: the limbic system and the neocortex.
The Role of the Limbic System and the Neocortex
The limbic system, known as the brain’s emotional center, detects danger and triggers an immediate response. This system releases cortisol and adrenaline, hormones that prepare the body to react. However, an overactive limbic system can lead to:
Mental and physical exhaustion.
Hypervigilance and difficulty concentrating. Impulsive, fear-based decisions.
On the other hand, the neocortex, the brain’s most evolved region, is responsible for logical thinking, strategic planning, and rational decision-making. However, when the limbic system is overloaded, the neocortex loses efficiency, which can result in:
Mental blocks.
Constant hesitation when making decisions. A pessimistic perspective that distorts opportunities.
The true challenge for an entrepreneur is to balance the limbic system and the neocortex, allowing emotion and reason to work together to transform fear into strategic action.
Neuroscientific Strategies to Maintain Clarity and Confidence
In times of uncertainty, the key isn’t to eliminate fear but to learn to manage it. Below are some practical strategies:
Mindful Breathing: Use the 4-7-8 technique (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 7, and exhale for 8). This reduces cortisol and calms the mind.
Reframe Your Thoughts: Shift your internal dialogue. Instead of thinking, “I don’t know what will happen,” say, “This is an opportunity to learn something new.”
Break Problems into Small Steps: Clear, achievable goals release dopamine, reducing feelings of overwhelm.
Establish Predictable Routines: Daily rituals send signals of safety to the brain, reducing perceived chaos.
Visualize Success: Imagine detailed scenarios of success. The brain reinforces neural connections associated with confidence.
Connect with Your Purpose: A clear purpose stabilizes your mood and strengthens daily motivation.
Prioritize Sleep and Rest: The brain needs time to consolidate learning and reduce cortisol levels.
Celebrate Small Wins: Recognize your victories, no matter how small. This activates the brain’s reward system.
Final Reflection
Fear and uncertainty are inevitable on the entrepreneurial journey, but they don’t have to become insurmountable barriers. The brain is a powerful tool that, when understood and properly managed, can become our greatest ally for making clear decisions, building strong teams, and facing challenges with confidence.
“Your brain is your greatest ally in business. Learn to understand it, guide it, and harness its power to overcome any challenge.”
Join Me at the Workshop in March!
If you want to dive deeper into these strategies and transform your entrepreneurial approach through neuroscience, I invite you to join our workshop in Orlando this March. It will be a hands-on, transformative experience where you’ll learn to unlock your brain’s potential to face any challenge with clarity and confidence.
Details will be revealed in February! Don’t miss this opportunity to revolutionize your mindset and take your business to the next level.

Meta’s Policy Changes Pose Risks to Businesses Advertising on Its Platforms
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Threads, recently implemented significant changes to its hate speech policies, removed fact-checking initiatives in the U.S., and scaled back Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. These changes, positioned as a push toward “freedom of speech,” have sparked concerns over the rise of harmful content on the platform. While Meta defends these updates as efforts to foster open dialogue, businesses advertising on these platforms may now face serious reputational risks.
A notable example of the consequences of such policy shifts can be observed in Twitter/X. After Elon Musk took over the platform and loosened content moderation guidelines, including reinstating accounts previously banned for spreading hate speech, advertisers fled in droves. Major brands did not want to risk being associated with harmful or divisive content. Studies showed that hate speech on the platform surged, eroding user trust and damaging the platform’s reputation. Many advertisers have yet to return, and the platform continues to struggle financially.
Meta’s changes could lead to similar outcomes. By relaxing its hate speech policies and removing fact-checkers, the platform risks becoming a breeding ground for misinformation and harmful stereotypes. Businesses advertising on Meta now face the possibility of their ads appearing next to offensive or misleading content, which can tarnish their brand image and alienate consumers.
Additionally, scaling back DEI initiatives may alienate key demographics and invite criticism, further exacerbating the risks for advertisers. For brands that prioritize inclusivity and ethical advertising, Meta’s changes may make its platforms an untenable option.
Ultimately, businesses must carefully evaluate the risks of advertising with Meta. While the platforms offer extensive reach, businesses must decide if the cost of association outweighs the benefits.
SECURING YOUR FUTURE
WHY INSURANCE REVIEW IS A YEAR-END PRIORITY
As the year draws to a close, many of us reflect on accomplishments and plan for the future. However, a crucial aspect of this reflection often gets overlooked: ensuring our insurance coverage remains adequate and aligns with our current needs.
Life is inherently unpredictable. While we can’t prevent unforeseen events, we can mitigate their impact through proper insurance. It’s more than just an expense; it’s a safety net, protecting our loved ones, safeguarding our assets, and providing peace of mind in uncertain times. Here’s why reviewing your insurance should be a top priority before the year ends:
PROTECTING WHAT MATTERS MOST: From our homes and vehicles to our health and businesses, insurance safeguards against risks that could lead to devastating financial consequences. A single incident, such as an accident, fire, or natural disaster, can undo years of hard work without adequate coverage.
ADAPTING TO LIFE CHANGES: Significant life events like marriage, parenthood, homeownership, or starting a business necessitate adjustments to our insurance needs. Regular reviews ensure our coverage remains relevant and provides the necessary protection for ourselves and our families.
IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING COVERAGE GAPS:
Outdated or insufficient insurance can leave us vulnerable. For example, homeowner’s insurance may not cover the full value of a renovated property, or car insurance might lack comprehensive coverage.
MITIGATING BUSINESS RISKS: For businesses, insurance is crucial for stability. It protects against lawsuits, property damage, and operational disruptions that could threaten their viability.
