Camila is also the founder of Just a Squiggle, a consulting firm dedicated to helping organizations & individuals unlock their hidden superpowers and turn their biggest problems into possibilities through the power of creative thinking.

Camila's advice to people who potentially are interested in branching out on their own:

1. You have to be very clear, what is your secret sauce? Why are you doing this? What is that thing that you have that is unique, and that motivates you to do your business? And make sure that is something that you are, at your core.
2. Have a plan but don't let the plan dictate so much. Be flexible with your plan, things are going to change in this path of entrepreneurship.
3. Believe in yourself. Be very confident. I know that sometimes it sounds like a cliche, but your intuition and what you're trying to do will drive you more and will guide you more than any other coach in the world.
