Today we’d like to introduce you to Natalia Jaimes.
Hi Natalia, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey began in Colombia, where I grew up with a passion for entrepreneurship and a thirst for knowledge. Five years ago, I made the bold decision to move to the United States with the goal of mastering a second language and pursuing my dreams in business. Determined to succeed, I immersed myself in English language studies and eventually gained admission to college to pursue a degree in business. It hasn’t been easy, but through hard work and dedication, I’ve overcome challenges and steadily progressed towards my goals. Today, I stand as a young entrepreneur and business student, grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and excited for the journey ahead. Last year marked a significant milestone in my journey as I launched my own company, specializing in Colombian jewelry crafted from exquisite materials like gold and silver. What sets my venture apart is not just its dedication to quality but also its commitment to making a positive impact. I’ve collaborated with talented single mothers who pour their skills and passion into crafting handmade jewelry, empowering them to support their families while showcasing Colombian craftsmanship to the world. With each piece we import, we’re not just selling jewelry; we’re fostering economic empowerment and cultural appreciation. My entrepreneurial spirit fuels my desire to grow both as a company and as an individual, driven by the belief that business can be a force for good.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
While my journey has been rewarding, it certainly hasn’t been without its challenges. Moving to a new country alone was a daunting experience, especially since I had to leave behind my family and friends in Colombia. Adapting to a new culture and language was one of the biggest hurdles I faced. Learning English from scratch required immense dedication and perseverance. There were times when I felt isolated and overwhelmed, but I refused to let these obstacles deter me from my goals. Additionally, launching my own company came with its own set of challenges. From navigating the intricacies of entrepreneurship to establishing partnerships with artisans in Colombia, every step required careful planning and determination. Despite the bumps along the road, each challenge has only made me more resilient and determined to succeed.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

Risk-taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk-taking has been an integral part of my journey as an entrepreneur and as an individual. Moving to a new country with the goal of mastering a second language and pursuing my dreams in business was undoubtedly one of the biggest risks I’ve taken. Leaving behind the familiarity of my home, family, and friends to venture into the unknown was daunting, but I knew that the potential rewards outweighed the risks.
Launching my own company was another significant risk. It required me to invest time, resources, and energy into building something from the ground up, with no guarantee of success. However, I firmly believe that great achievements often require taking calculated risks. In every risk I’ve taken, there’s been a valuable lesson learned, regardless of the outcome.
I approach risk-taking with careful consideration and strategic planning. While I’m not reckless, I’m also not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and pursue opportunities that have the potential for growth and impact. I believe that risk-taking is essential for personal and professional development, as it pushes us to challenge ourselves, innovate, and seize new opportunities.
Ultimately, it’s about finding the balance between calculated risk and prudent decision-making. By embracing risk with courage and resilience, I’ve been able to overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and continue on the path towards achieving my goals.
