Ambition is the fuel that runs the engine of the world. It has made great men of ordinary men, extraordinary women of regular women and in general, given our world ideals that can be mirrored and admired. Sure, there’s a dark side to ambition, like there is to everything else in life. But it’s the bright side of ambition, the ambition that numinous, that strives to make the world, richer, better, and altogether beautiful. Maria Jones is a woman of deep ambition. Her ambition has helped her soar to great career heights. As ex-Vice President at Cointelegraph Media Group, and a worldwide special guest and public speaker, Maria is often in the limelight for her courage, positivity, and insight. It’s only befitting that she has made it her mission to help others reach their full potential.

A self-made woman in a field where women are yet to carve a niche, Maria is full of ideas, suggestions, and hope. In her many years as a working woman, she has created a list of self-help ideas that every man and every woman can apply to themselves to bring out their hidden potential. First and foremost among her suggestions is to “invest in yourself. You can be your best or worst creation. To become your best you must come to possess qualities like discipline, self-love, self-knowledge, self-respect. Without these fundamental realizations, you will not be able to break free from your insecurities and unnecessary fears.”

Investing in one’s self is a long-term plan as it helps you “become more self-aware and thus more responsible in your attitude towards yourself.” Says the visionary leader. Another aspect of self-fulfillment, as per Maria is to “Keep learning. Take your time to get to know yourself (your dreams, your career desires, your family goals, what do you want, your fears, your strengths) and listen to your INTUITION, listen to your HEART.”

The world of business is a great place to learn and grow as a person. And therefore it helps to have a “creative business plan. Step back from boring business planning and confusing financial statements and step forward to a very simple ONE-PAGE document that allows you to dive into this creative planning process and make it your own visual style. Use your RIGHT BRAIN IMAGINATION, to fully embrace your creative nature and become more successful!” Her mission is a product of her own experience. As she experienced a refined sense of self, she understood that it’s not success that makes a person but the person who makes success. With 600K followers on Instagram and 4K fans on Twitter, it’s safe to say that her mission is underway and going strong.
