Raw... According to Marcía...
The original concept for Marcía In The Raw was "born" from a business venture which is currently in development and to be debuted in the future. This concept had a natural, honest, unpretentious, real-Marcía, RAW approach. As I mused over this, I was excited to realize this was actually a BRAND that could encompass all the things I have learned in life and in business that I could help others!
As I began to develop this Brand, I realized this was my approach to everything I do. When you interact with me, you're going to get real, honest input. Cut to the chase approach. Analytical. Not fake. Not pretentious. I don't "church it up". You'll get authentic, transparent, straight-shooting talk. I'm a self-reflective, anti-excuse making, no BS and from the gut kind of girl. This is true in business, as well as personally.
No excuses for lack of accomplishment or laziness. I believe grit, determination and taking the bull by the horns is necessary to get where we want to go. If you work with me, we WORK. We will expect outcome for our time.
Now, let me make this clear: RAW does NOT mean blunt, mean, caustic, sarcastic or any other negative tactic. I believe that kindness, positivity and encouragement are the best tools to help people. It just means, I don't waste time on the things that keep me from scoring my goals.
I know when we're trying to produce, obstacles, barriers and lack of direction, plan, resources or knowledge prohibit or slow progress and stop goal accomplishment.
I have had to fight through obstacles my whole life. I've learned [the hard way] to quickly assess exactly what the problem; what I need to do to go over, around or through the barrier! I learned to analyze what steps I need to take to accomplish my goals!
This has enabled me to create numerous businesses and to now run a thriving business, Zebrastripes Productions LLC, while building a Mary Kay Consultant business and successfully running Marcía In The Raw.
I do this for me. I'll do it for you. How do I make all this happen?

5 principles of management:
- Planning
- Organizing
- Staffing
- Leading
- Controlling
I have this saying when people ask how many employees I have, "I'm a one-woman" wrecking crew". I also say, "What you see happens with these 2" and I hold up my hands.
What does that mean to you? If you're like me and are a solopreneur, good for YOU! You are both Staff and Leadership! YOU control your time!
I have this philosophy when I working. I visualize that I'm on the clock and am accountable to myself for what I accomplish in a day's time. I feel I AM my Staff. I'm also Management, so I have to come up with the Plan, Procedures AND carry them out. At the end of the day I, the Staff has to answer to ME, Management, on whether I used my time productively that day.
I can help YOU with those 5 principles to be your MOST PRODUCTIVE SELF!
All my life I struggled with this brain that feels like it's firing on about 1000 cylinders at a time. I feel like I have about 1000 thoughts per minute running through this overworked brain.
I had to learn the hard way, by logic and analysis, how to best control and organize my thoughts. Now I consider my brain an asset. I'm able to accomplish a crap load of stuff in a day, week, month, but it DID NOT come easily. It was HARD WORK to figure out how to be productive with my brain. I had to though...it's the only brain I have!
If you struggle with muddle thoughts, intentions that don't come to fruition, promises to yourself or others that don't get fulfilled, tasks and goals unaccomplished, disorganization or just a general feeling of overwhelmedness, chat with ME there ARE ANSWERS. I can help you overcome and have more control and peace!
