Dora Aguilar, an immigrant from Guatemala, has achieved the American dream by running a successful day care in Randolph, Massachusetts. Her business was recognized as one of the ‘businesses of the year’ last year. Aguilar had her first child four years after moving to Massachusetts in 1994 and struggled to find day care. As a former teacher, this struggle led her to start Bright Beginner’s Day Care in 2001.
For years, Aguilar’s business survived but didn’t thrive until she discovered the Amplify LatinX small business program. The program helps small business owners identify and overcome their blind spots in running a business. Eneida Roman, president and CEO of Amplify LatinX, states that many business owners are passionate but lack the expertise to run their companies effectively.
By enrolling in the program, Aguilar saw her profits increase significantly and is now planning to expand her business. She encourages others to seek out programs like Amplify LatinX to improve their business knowledge. The program provides valuable insight into filing taxes, marketing, bookkeeping, and forecasting to help owners understand their financials better. Aguilar’s success story is a testament to the benefits of seeking out help and expert advice to grow your business.
