End of year...New Begining!

Christmas is around the corner. The end of 08 is here. Aside from all the shopping and the running around. Something magical is about to happen a New Year. Unwritten pages, Unwritten future a time to set things right. A time to make things better. I was having dinner with a real good friend Jerry after a Business meeting today. We ate at Lucille's Rib and BBQ place with incredible biscuits. As we fellowshiped about business and our friendship they served our food. For me food is important and I am extremely picky about the places I eat. When our food arrived it was served cold. The restaurant was slow and was not very busy as I motioned for our waiter I explained the food was cold I wanted something hot. He apologized and said he would bring new plates.

As Jerry and I were talking I explained to him the importance of never settling for second best. You see most people do not complain because they are accustomed to not getting what they want. In retrospect for your life in 2008 did you settle for second best or did you get what you ordered. Did you even see the menu? Did you place and order? You see the New Year is the restaurant. Your Resolutions (not wish list) and your Goals are your Menu. Take your time order what you want. If you dint place an order you still placed an order for things to remain the same.

What makes people succeed when others don't. They never place an order to change. Most people want others to change their life, they wait for the new President, For the Economy, For their Company, for anything to make a change. Never do they look at the Menu never do they look at themselves. At the end of the year they toss their glasses in the air and say that half toast to a better year. Why not be different? Why not you? You and your Family and Business should have an Outline in 09 Why not you/Why not now?

Place you order Today for a better life a better future. Resolution time not a wish list. Resolutions are for things you want to change from 08 to 09. You get out of life what you Expect. Expect the Best in Everything in 2009. Its up to you. Never settle for second best, never settle for just getting by, God wants you to have the very Best. To your Record Breaking 2009. I know our Company will. God Bless.

Get your Outline for 09!!!!!

Adding Value

Hello Team,

I have lost many people in my life, my older brother, grandmother my aunts and my mother and father. All the funerals I have attended not once have I ever Heard someone say I told them I loved them to much or I spent to much time with them. last week my ex-father in law passed away, a great man, he loved my children as they were his own he loved his family and his brothers and sisters like an older brother should. If you needed help you can count on Bob, If you needed his truck to move you can count on Bob, If you needed his carpentry you can count on Bob.

On Friday Bob was put to rest. I drove by the funeral, funny thing all those people that counted on Bob were not present when he needed them the most. Three days before the funeral I purchased some flowers from a rite aid store although Bob deserved much better than rite aid. I drove around for thirty minutes trying to find a flower shop in El Monte but could not find one. I purchased these flowers and went to see my ex-mother in law. She was sweet as always. We cried for a life that was lived not for the life that died, for Bob will remain in our hearts for ever he truly lived a remarkable life. He did not have a political position, Did not have a great job, was not a great contributor to his Community but to his Family and my Family He was a great Father, Grandfather, Brother and Son and he will always be remembered in a great way.

Let me ask you something how are you going to be remembered? How much Value are you placing in other peoples life's. Are you out on a limb to help someone you care about. Or is your arm short. On your way to accumulating your Goals are you Losing your Soul? There has never been a sadder story than Judas. He acquired 30 pieces of silver to betray his friend. He felt so bad after wards. He tried to give the money back but they refuse to take it back. He was so discouraged in himself he finally hung himself. You see we have to stand for something or you will fall for anything.

To build a great life you need to stand for something of value, you need to fight for it and defend what you believe in at all cost against anyone that will take it from you. Lets make our life count. That what our For-fathers did and they must have done a great Job because People from all walks of life would rather live here than anywhere else in this world. Let's build something Great. Lets not let our Dreams Die, lets help everyone attain their Dreams so we may attain ours. The only time you should look down upon someone is only if you are giving them your hand to pick them up. Tomorrow lets give more of ourselves to everyone we come in contact with for we don't know when we will be Bob.

Have a Blessed week,
Fidel Hernandez

Child's Play

Sunday, the day God rested,

Today was another awesome day. Hope yours was just as great. I rested all day and enjoyed Quality time with my wife and daughter. Family time is so important nothing else compares to it. We had some great friends over for dinner and it gave me some time to reflect on life.

As I watched my daughter play with their daughter I realized how pure the playing of a child is. it's not jealous, greedy, mean, self serving or complaining they don't gossip about other children's misery they just want to laugh and have fun. They don't complain about the weather, if they fall or accidentally get wet by sprinklers they don't stop playing and call it a day. Children don't let anything or anyone ruin their fun. They will not eat as long as their friend is still there and they can still play.

Now my friend needs to wake up early tomorrow so he lets his daughter know that it's time to go. Funny thing happened, first mom goes let's her know it's time, the little girl negotiates more time. My friend looks at his watch let's his wife know it's time to go, moms so cute she looks at him and says it's your turn I have told her a couple of times. My friend says OK, walks upstairs lets his daughter know it's time to go then he says I am not going to negotiate with you with a kind, caring voice. The little girl stays another 10 minutes. When she absolutely has to go and she knows it for sure, she starts to cry so does my daughter. They really love playing together.

You see a child's mission and goal is to play and have fun at all cost. They wont eat, sleep or let an accidental fall keep them from their goal. They will negotiate to stay and play longer and even cry to complete their mission. You see children are natural born sales people.

Here's the questions of the week. What happened to our natural born sales ability? How many times do you hear the word no before you quit? Once, twice or as many times as it takes to get your mission accomplished? Are you willing to not eat or sleep to get your goal accomplished? Will you negotiate for more time with your client to get your sale? Are you willing to take a fall and quickly get up to get the job done? And more importantly are you having fun while you are accomplishing your daily task?

Next week have fun enjoy your career. Set daily and weekly goals and check your progress often. If you need that extra sale, recruit, call or appointment do not give up. Give it your all, Dream as if you will live for ever. Work towards your goals as if this was your last day on earth. We have tried the Adult way of life is it working for you? Let's take a lesson from the children of the world. What do we have to lose to relearn the ability to have fun, not complain, if we fall get up quickly, if our closing skills are rusty to improve them. Let us live a youth full way of life.

Have a Blessed week,
Fidel Hernandez

Game of Life

Today was a great day!

I called people today and I was amazed at how bad people felt about things that happen in their lives. I know bad things will happen to good people. We should never let incidents dictate how we feel about our day. Life is truly a gift a miracle to be hold. Yet we allow everyday problems to ruin how we feel about it. We think I am a good person, hard worker good family man (woman) Why does bad things happen to me? Just when I start to get up someone takes me down. I know how you feel. I have been kicked so many times I felt like a soccer ball being kicked from one side of the field to other.

There's hope on the sidelines not in the stands there is a great coach rooting for you all the time he feels your pain he is the one always picking you up, brushing you off and telling you to get off the field and in the stands to safety. Yet we don't listen. Who is this remarkable coach, God. you see he sent his only son to play for all of us and everyone took a turn kicking him, spitting on him, calling him names and mocking him. The sad part for Jesus was he never made it to the stands and out of the game. Gods plan for his son was to die in the game for all of us. For all the mistakes we make in the game of life. Today was a great day no one will persecute you, no one will mock you or spit on you. For Jesus has paid the price in full for all of us. Enjoy tomorrow for the future holds hope for all of us. If you did not accomplish everything today. There is a tomorrow to be better at life, at work at play. Be a better Father, Mother, Son, Daughter, Friend and all around better human being. Be a positive contribution to everyone you come in contact with. If you need help just ask one of your sideline coaches for assistance they are waiting to get in the game for you. Just have to call them by their names.

In the game with you great coach by the name of Jesus. On the sidelines God and his assistant staff of Angels are ready to help. Make tomorrow's game a better one play the best that you can, help out other players when you can and just know there is always help available.

Have a Blessed week,

Never Give Up

its 10:48 AND I JUST SAT DOWN AT MY DESK I WAS THINKING OF LANCE ARMSTRONG. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HIS TRUE STORY I RECOMMEND YOU BUY HIS BOOK. HES NOT JUST A TOUR DE FRANCE WINNER BUT A REAL CHAMPION FOR LIFE. HE WAS GIVEN A DEATH SENTENCE BUT GOD HAD A DIFFERENT PLAN. HE WAS GOING TO RESURRECT LANCE FROM A CANCER DEATH SENTENCE TO LIVE AND EXTRA ORDINARY LIFE.

LANCE'S ATTITUDE KEPT HIM GOING GOD'S SPIRIT KEPT HIM ALIVE. AFTER RECOVERING FROM CANCER HE ENDED WINNING 7 TOURS THE MOST BY ANY CYCLIST. DURING AN INTERVIEW AFTER HIS SEVENTH WIN HE WAS ASKED WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR BEING ONE OF THE BEST CYCLIST OR FOR BEING A CANCER SURVIVOR. LANCE THOUGHT ABOUT IT AND SAID"I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED FOR BEING A CANCER SURVIVOR BECAUSE IT HAS MADE ME A BETTER FATHER, SON, HUSBAND AND BETTER HUMAN BEING". YOU SEE IF YOU HAVE LIFE YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR DESTINY AT ANY TIME. IF WE HAVE GOD AND LIFE WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE AGAINST US. THE ENEMY WILL NEVER WIN, WE WILL. WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER TILL ALL OF OUR FRIENDS & ACQUAINTANCES HAVE THEIR DREAMS COME TRUE. THAT'S THE SECRET TO TRUE SUCCESS HELP OTHERS ATTAIN THEIR DREAMS WHILE WE ATTAIN OURS IT'S WIN, WIN. WE WILL NEVER LOSE IF WE SEE ARE DREAMS TO THE END.

PAIN HURTS FOR A WHILE SOMETIMES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. SOMETIMES PAIN IS SO DEEP IT WILL HURT FOR MONTHS. AT OTHER TIMES PAIN IS SO EMOTIONAL IT WILL HURT FOR YEARS. BUT PAIN FROM QUITING LAST FOR EVER AND IT NEVER GOES AWAY.

YOUR SUCCESS COACH
