We recently connected with Joanna Bucaro and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Joanna , thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
Throughout my life, I have learned that the perspective we have of things is very important. I have learned to see the good of any situation despite knowing that there is always a “not so good side of it”. I am thankful for what I do have instead of complaining for what I don’t have. My confidence that there has to be something good out of anything rests in my heavenly father. I have learned to trust him and have peace in my mind. It hasn’t been easy because life has its ups and downs.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I am originally from Guatemala and my native language is Spanish. I have been living in Florida for about 20 years. I have 3 adult children. I started my business after realizing that my children were loosing the ability to communicate with my family in Spanish. I started looking for options that could help them practice their Spanish skills but couldn’t find an option suitable for our needs. Since I am a teacher, I started teaching them myself and little by little other kids were part of the lessons, it started growing by word of mouth and little by little we got to the point where we are right now.
I am the owner/founder of All Kids Spanish, a fun online Spanish learning program for children. Our program is focused on conversational skills and we work with different levels from beginners to advanced. We even have students from bilingual schools who need to practice their conversational skills. We have been holding the program for about 10 years with great success!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
1. CONSISTENCY I think that consistency is one of the keys for anything that you want to accomplish even if it looks almost impossible. When you set a goal you just keep working on it regardless of the obstacles. You DON’T GIVE UP! You keep learning, you keep trying, you keep working!
2. FAITH
Faith is the assurance of what we do not see. We all have a vision of where we want to get and what our goals are. So, even when we are not seeing it, we have to keep believing and working for it. Dream it, envision it, see yourself already there.
3. KNOWLEDGE
Having the knowledge and the skills for your vision is very important and I personally think that we never stop learning. Life is a learning journey.
Tell us what your ideal client would be like?
I wouldn’t say who is my ideal client, but who am I able to provide a solution for? When you position yourself, your business, your project to help people solve a situation, you will find all the people that are looking for you and you can be the light that they were seeking for.
My business provides a way for families to keep communicating regardless of where they are which in this case can be different countries. Provides a skill that improves certain cognitive functions. Makes you more empathetic. It makes you more competitive in the job market; therefore create have a better economic status. It even reduces the chances of, and slows the worsening of Alzheimer’s.
