Hello New Friends!
My name is Alicia (ah-lee-see-ah) Meneses Maples and this post represents the beginning of my journey on Hive. 👋
I am a strong, loving, multi-purpose-driven, entrepreneurial, faith-grounded woman. I live with intention, and do my best to align myself with the purposes God has for me.
I'll tell you a bit about myself, saving the scariest bit for the end. 😬
Big Voice, Big Man, Big Jewelry & Fur Babies
About my personal life, well, BIG is a theme.
🎶 - Singing karaoke with my friends is tons of fun and my fav is singing on the worship team at my church. It fills my heart.
💞 - I am married to a handsome, wonderful man who is a whole foot taller than I am!
🤠 - I live in Texas (a big state).
💎 - I enjoy wearing BIG statement-piece type jewelry; I've been that way since I was a kid. I also collect designer costume jewelry from the 30s, 40s and 50s.
🐶 - I am a fur-baby mama to 3 dogs which is a big, but fulfilling job.
Entrepreneur Love!
Professionally? I am an entrepreneur, LOVE entrepreneurs and I help entrepreneurs overcome their fears of selling to build profitable businesses.
I've had an award-winning blog, been featured in the media and lots of podcasts. I've also had several big name clients like Disney and an Olympic Gold Medal winning NBA star. But I have to be honest with you...
My favorite people to work with are small business owners who are AMAZING at what they do, but need help amplifying their profitability.
I get to fulfill my purpose with entrepreneurs several different ways.
- I have a membership community,
- 1:1 consultations,
- Online classes,
- I speak, and
- I moderate a weekly room with two Google experts on Clubhouse. Nope. Clubhouse is not dead. It is alive, active and lots of fun. We have a fabulous community where we answer your questions and give you free advice. Our focus is helping you drive more traffic to your business and increasing your conversions. If you have a virtual or brick and mortar business, come check us out. We are the Google My Business Club. I'm looking forward to bringing my friends on Clubhouse here to Hive!
The Proudest Moment of My Life...
...It Could Have Been a Disaster!
I almost didn't do it. I didn't want to do it. But I knew I was supposed to do it.
It was the riskiest, most vulnerable thing I have ever done.
I told the story of how I grew up so that I could shine a global light on the needs of glass children. Please watch my TEDx talk and share. You will be making a difference in the lives of thousands of people.
Thank You!
Thank you for reading. I can't wait to get to know YOU, read your posts and give you some Hive love. I also want to give a special shout out to my friend and mentor @epodcaster for helping me be here.
Blessings and hugs ~ Alicia
