We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful LESLIE MIRELES. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with LESLIE below.
Hi LESLIE, 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.
One thing that I learned at a young age is to hold on to hope when things seem hopeless. There were many moments where I had to overcome adversity and rejection which turned out to be redirection and opportunity. Every business owner, especially young ones, will have to learn hard lessons in the beginning so that when significant opportunities arise, they don’t mess up. My optimism stems from this cheesy saying, ‘everything happens for a reason.’ I cannot predict nor control the future; all I can do is be excited about the unexpected. I have no doubt that everything will workout.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Hello there,
I am a local videographer and photographer based in Temecula, specializing in creating content tailored for social media. My focus is on helping entrepreneurs enhance their online presence and brand themselves. Whether you prefer to step in front of the camera or showcase your products, I’ve got you covered – consider me your go-to Gen-Z content creator.
My style revolves around capturing organic, timeless moments and transforming them into cinematic authentic art with each content creation session. While some may feel apprehensive about being in front of the camera, I am excited about the opportunity to guide individuals out of their comfort zones and illuminate the unique values and knowledge they possess.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Looking back, the three most impactful aspects of knowledge in my journey have been recognizing the balance between being nice and protecting myself in business, understanding the importance of clear communication skills, and setting clear boundaries.
I’ve learned that in the realm of entrepreneurship, having contracts in place is crucial. It took me multiple instances to realize this, but I’ve come to understand that trusting blindly can sometimes lead to being taken advantage of in a world where niceness isn’t always reciprocated. For those starting their journey, I advise prioritizing the establishment of clear communication and agreements early on.
How would you describe your ideal client?
My ideal client embodies several key characteristics. They are individuals or businesses who recognize the importance of investing in quality content creation for their online presence. They value professionalism, creativity, and collaboration in the process of bringing their story to life.
