Leadership by Alain Romero

2020-02-05T10:58:00.003-08:00

Leadership is maintaining the group’s momentum and executing when the time is right.

Leadership is working with the slowest member of the group because the speed of the group is determined by the slowest member.

Leadership is saying what needs to be said at the moment.

Leadership is about making the right choices not about looking good.

Leadership is investing in members and developing new leadership.

Leadership is rectifying mistakes promptly so they don’t become big problems.

Leadership is taking action when no one else is willing.

Leadership is being selfless.

Leadership is engaging team members.

Leadership is being proactive.

Leadership is being brave for others.

Leadership is doing what is best, not what is popular.

Leadership is driving for value.

What else is leadership to you?

And today, the path that was set before me could not ring more truth than ever before.

The realization that our spirit is what keeps us going despite any challenge that life may offer.

For days we have walked the mountains, swam in the most treacherous oceans, fought wars,

and built empires - just to find you, and there you where, the spirit within us.

And you had been there all along awaiting our arrival.

And in that instant where there was nowhere else to turn, you turned within.

And there you found, that which had been carrying you all along in your naïve ways,

your soul, your spirit. A spirit that is made from the intangible, yet it is stronger than

the strongest titanium, and it is eternal.

And there, within you, you found a door, and a place that you had looked for all your life,

the door that leads to Infinite Intelligence. And through it, you have come to realize many other things.

--------------

Y hoy, el camino que me fue brindado y yace por delante no podría ser más certero.

La realización que nuestro espíritu es lo que nos mantiene en el camino a pesar de todos los retos

que la vida ofrece.

Por días hemos caminado las montañas, nadado en los mares más turbulentos,

peleado guerras y construido imperios - solo para encontrarte. Y ahí estabas

todo este tiempo, mi espíritu. Y tú habías estado ahí todo este tiempo esperando mi llegada.

Y en ese instante cuando no había ningún otro lugar a donde recurrir, miraste hacia ti mismo, dentro de ti.

Y ahí encontraste aquello que te había estado sosteniendo durante todo este tiempo a través de tu inocencia,

tu alma, tu espíritu. Un espíritu formado de lo intangible, y sin embargo es más fuerte que las aleaciones

de titanio más fuertes y es eterno. Y ahí, dentro de ti, encontraste una puerta, y un lugar que habías estado

buscando toda tu vida, la puerta que lleva a la inteligencia infinita. Y a través de ella haz llegado a entender

muchas otras cosas.

The Magic of Thinking Big

Everything begins with a thought. I am a big believer in thinking BIG. Why NOT? I have a burning desire to accomplish big things in my life. As such, I teach and coach my students and clients to do the same. I teach them to think BIG. There have been many times in my life that I have seen or heard of stories of men and women doing the unthinkable. Rising up to the challenge and doing things that were thought of as “impossible”. They reached high levels of success and great wealth despite of their challenges. This has always inspired me. I hope it also inspires you.

A few years ago , when taking a business course in college, I read a book titled, The Magic of Thinking Big, by David Schwartz. This book inspired me a great deal. I still review many portions of it today. It is very uplifting. It teaches you to set high goals and then exceed them. It also helps you discover the secrets of how the mind works and how it can best work for you. It goes over how you can reach success by the power of the mind and your thoughts.

I want to share one of the many ideas shared in this book. As I share with many of the clients I coach, in order to think big you need to develop BELIEF. You must have belief in yourself and belief in your goals and dreams. Belief is imperative for success. One of my favorite quotes by Henry Ford says it best, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”

Here are some things that Schwartz shares in regards to developing powerful beliefs:

Think of success, not failure

Your thoughts are very powerful. So make sure you are thinking success all the time. At work, at home, make sure you substitute success thinking for any failure thinking you might have. Know that you will win, not lose. Have a WIN, WIN MENTALLY in all that you do. Let this dominate your thoughts. It takes practice, but when done long enough it will become second nature and come naturally. Remember that thoughts become things. So keep you mind thinking positive things. Think success conditions and your mind will create plans to produce success. If you think of failing you will produce that result. Always think success.

Remind yourself daily that you are better than you think you are

Successful people are not know it alls or super people with foreign capabilities. They are not supermen or have a super intellect. Also, keep in mind that success is not based on luck or on something mystical or far from reach. Successful people are just ordinary people who have learned and developed belief in themselves and in what they do. They have a burning desire to follow their goals and dreams and believe they can make them happen. There will be times you may be discouraged, but also remind yourself you are better than you think you are. Never sell yourself short.

Believe BIG

Your success will be determined by how big you think. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. If you think little goals and expect little achievements, then that is exactly what you will get. Think big goals and achieve big success. Set high goals for yourself and change them accordingly if needed. Set the bar high.

Lastly, I want to encourage you never to settle for less than what you deserve. NEVER Settle for anything in life. Think Big and make it happen. All is in your hands. TAKE CONTROL. Stop making excuses. Schwartz calls this excusitis, a mind-deading thought disease. Many people suffer from this disease, way too many in my opinion. These people have no plans in their life and find a book of reasons of why they cannot be successful.

Why settle for a bad relationship? A job you hate or dislike? Financial struggle? You do not have to settle in life. Think Big!

Wishing you much success on your journey,

Eva Angelina

The Invincible You: Lesson 1: The Key To Riches: The Art of Reversal

2011-12-06T13:35:00.000-08:00

By Alexander Avila

Many times we get stuck in life. We want something really badly, but we don't get it. In these especially difficult financial times, money is a big issue for a lot of people. No matter how much we make, it seems that we just don't have enough to go around. In these challenging times, we need to develop the powerful mentality I call "The Invincible You."

The Invincible You is that part of your mind that is invincible--incapable of being defeated--by either outer circumstances or your own inner negativity. Psychologists call this resilience--the ability to overcome adversity--religious people call it soul hardiness; I call it The Invincible You. To be Invincible doesn't mean that you're perfect; it just means that you are able to go beyond, around, and through obstacles to achieve your dreams because you believe you are a special divine creature who is worthy of the best the world has to offer.

In this series, which we will continue into 2012, I will reveal some of the most powerful psychological and spiritual secrets of emotional and psychological invincibility. These are time-tested paradigm shifts and psychological algorithms that will help you skyrocket your personal mastery and outer success.

The first secret is called the Art of Reversal--Give What You Want Most to Get What You Most Need. In other words, if you want something really bad, give that something out to others and to the world.

Take the desire for money; for financial success and security. You want to make a large amount of money doing something you love, but maybe you haven't been able to do it. You struggle financially, or at least you're not making what you really want to make. You try to save, but the money slips through your fingers like you're trying to hold on to water poured from a bucket. You may even start to panic a little, or get desperate, as you sink further into debt.

Solution: The Art of Reversal. Instead of worrying so much about how much money you don't have, focus on giving more money, time, energy, and talent to others, and to the world. Give more money to charity, donate more money or personal possessions to your local church; give your time and energy by volunteering at an organization that helps women, children, and animals; help your neighbor with a small loan. The amount of money or time you give doesn't matter; it can be small at first. The key is to start reversing your mindset of money anxiety and lack, and turn it into a mindset of money abundance. Imagine that you have so much money, and the world has so much money (the world money supply is calculated at $50 trillion), that you can afford to give away plenty because you will get back plenty.

In Eastern philosophy, there is an energy called Ki or Chi. Ki is the life force that we all have. Ki either expands or contracts; it gets bigger or smaller. When you're worried about money; not being able to pay your bills, or not making it in your career, you start to contract or shrink your positive energy. You become fearful, anxious, worried, and worst of all, you generate that ultimate defeating feeling of being deprived.

On the other hand, when you expand your Ki energy, when you give freely, and with gratitude, to others, you self-generate a light, free, and loving feeling. This positive feeling will, in turn, attract more abundance and prosperity into your life.

You have probably heard of the law of attraction, which states that we attract what we think about most. If we think of abundance; we attract abundance; if we think if scarcity, we attract scarcity. This is a common aspect of nature and life. However, to trigger the law of attraction, you first need to master The Art of Reversal. To attract more money, you need to start by giving away some of your most valuable personal resources--time, money, and energy--with the firm belief that there is a natural abundance in the world that will return to you manyfold, in the form of more money, talents, valuable relationships, and career-enhancing opportunities.

Start today by giving a few extra dollars to children or homeless people. Give away some old clothes and possessions to the Salvation Army. Remember to give away what you want most. If money is what you want, give it away. This will create an Invincible mindset in you that will help liberate your unstoppable enthusiasm, energy, creativity, and resourcefulness. You can now go out into the world and create financial and emotional abundance for yourself and those you love.

Latino Wine Makers Make Most Wanted Wines!

2011-06-09T15:32:00.000-07:00

VINO:

Many of the Latino Owned Wineries Started with words similar to this quote from Isy Borjon, Borjon Winery. Simply put, “I think it’s the same in any industry. Every employee is always looking up ‘the ladder’. Dreaming of what it would be like to be at the top. My father knew that it wouldn’t be easy but he was determined and had that ‘drive’… So, my parents worked hard, saved as much money as they could and began a small labor contracting company that, in 18 years, expanded to a size they never imagined. The company is still in business, Bigger than ever and now owned and operated by me. Growing up around all the vineyards and wineries in the area, I began to have my own dream. Knowing that it also was a dream that my father had, probably added to my drive, of owning my own winery. Now married to my beautiful wife, Eliana, we put everything we could into creating a more secure future for us and our family.”

Others started their wineries by working in “regular jobs,” much like Angela and Mark Garcia who own both a bail bond business and are licensed bounty hunters and who used this income to manifest their own wine labels under… “ Most Wanted Wine Co.” “It’s a big investment that takes time and patience, but we are doing this for our children too and this will be the first generation that will be able to have the education we feel is necessary to continue and build what we’ve started, there are many aspects of owning even a small vineyard.”

The vineyard is their escape, but it is more than that, it’s a way of life that ran deep in Marks heritage. As a kid Mark found himself sleeping under the grape vines but didn’t have then the same passion he has now that his own vines are flourishing. Today you’ll find Mark’s father and others who were also raised in “the vines” working in their vineyard at harvest time and celebrating the land, which is producing a product that they control from start to finish. The fruit is handpicked, taken to a facility in Santa Rosa and there the magic in the bottle is created and shared with their guests at the tasting room. “We want our wines to be enjoyed after they take it home and we believe that having a wonderful experience at the tasting room is the beginning – the sign outside our door says it all, “You come as guests and leave as friend"

What College Degrees Are Really Worth
http://ping.fm/GjAcj

A day at the office...By Alain Romero

2011-03-31T18:00:00.000-07:00

Today I'm working on a project that I'm sure you'll find interesting so I decided to share it...

It's the financing of 4 very unique buildings that together are known as the Artisian Lofts...

This building houses major artists and as you can imagine its very unique. You probably would never think there is much going on in this building. In fact you'd probably have a hard time finding the entrance.

The challenge with this project is that it houses unconventional tenants that work in unconventional trades.

My job along with a team of experts is to bring viability, so the lender can more easily see the attributes rather than the risks.

If you have any questions on how to get into commercial real estate call me!
