As a Backend Specialist, Carolina champions systemization, process improvement, and technology utilization to make work ‘flow’.

Carolina mixes her technical savviness and therapeutic background to create a personal philosophy on business support, helping entrepreneurs and small businesses by alleviating the stress often associated with implementing structured administrative business support programs.
In today's episode, Carolina joins me to discuss how she turned her own personal chaos into order, using a love of technology to make Backend Business her passion. She reveals how being diagnosed with ADHD took her by surprise but made the early chaotic years of her life make sense. We discuss the stress of entrepreneurship and the cost disorganization can have on you physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally, and why the right systems in place will allow you to show up in your coaching practice 100%. Carolina also shares her own preferred methods for self-organization, explaining how and why this might be different for you or me, depending on the demands of our businesses, lifestyles, and our energy and personality types.
"It comes more from a place of compassion and understanding, and realizing that getting organized is a unique process for every single person out there" – Carolina Gutierrez
"It's a perception. Everyone thinks that everyone else has it together and it's absolutely not true" – Carolina Gutierrez
"You are there to help inspire your clients to grow and do better and give them hope. If you don't feel that for your own business because certain things aren't going great, then that's going to really affect the quality of what you can deliver to your clients" – Carolina Gutierrez
"I help people gain peace, time, and profits – in that order – by organizing their business principles" – Carolina Gutierrez
"Just because you get them done once because you took a Herculean effort to accomplish that over a long weekend when you should be taking time off for yourself – it doesn't mean that all of a sudden they're going to be taken care of on a regular basis" – Carolina Gutierrez
