Albert Einstein said:
"In the middle of
difficulty, lies opportunity."

He meant, when you face
trouble, a problem or complications, there is the chance to find a way to
resolve it and learn from the experience.
COVID-19 created
Problems but also has created OPPORTUNITIES.
Wow! Such an amazing
week! So much happened in one week. I had an incredible webinar with three of
the best business leaders in the country this past Saturday, March 28th:
Rob McCoy; City Councilman & Former Mayor.
Victor Arceo; Entrepreneur and Community Leader.
Roger Doumanian; Business Attorney, Consultant & Coach.
The COVID19 /
Coronavirus Pandemic has caught the world by surprise and has left many
scrambling for answers and solutions. Every corporation, business, church,
non-profit organization, and entrepreneur is feeling the impact on their bottom
line and facing some very tough decisions. I had the opportunity to bring
together three talented business professionals to tackle the COVID19 disaster
head-on and provide business owners with invaluable guidance and resources to help
them weather the storm and overcome the barriers.
During the COVID19
Business Survival webinar that was completely sold out, we addressed their
concerns, shared invaluable resources, and empowered leadership in these
challenging times. A 90-Minute FREE Webinar was well-received by all the
participants.
Due to overwhelming
demand, and the uniqueness of this situation, we were asked to continue the
webinars for another 2-3 weeks. I am so glad to tell that we decided to do so.
Our next guest speaker
is Mr. Eszylfie Taylor; CEO of Taylor Insurance & Financial Services. A
self-made man from humble roots, Mr. Taylor is the president and founder of
Taylor Insurance & Financial Services, located in the financial district of
Pasadena, California, and serves as financial advisor to individuals, business
owners, and high net worth families.

This Time, Can We
Finally Turn COVID-19 Crisis Into an Amazing Opportunity?
Adversity causes some
men to break; others to break records!
As I reflect every
morning before I start my day, there are some important thoughts I want to
share with you as we are starting this exciting new decade together: When I
first came to this country, there were many reasons and excuses I had not to
succeed. I didn't speak the language or understand the culture. I had a lot of
challenges. But I was determined to make things work no matter what, and I
refused to give up.
That experience taught
me something critical I think everyone should remember-YOUR MINDSET DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY.
Without a positive mindset, you can't accomplish anything. Great successes
often start with many rejections and failures. But people's rejection can also
be God's way of pointing you in the right direction-and everything worth
accomplishing in life has a price. If you fail, fail forward, If you fall seven
times, make sure you get up eight. But don't stop, no matter what.
It's time to turn this COVID-19 into fantastic opportunities.
Don't use #covidexcuses in life. Make the best of the
chances that it's bringing to you.
I believe we all have greatness within us. But
it's up to us to find it, develop it, invest in it, and use it. God is not
average, and he doesn't create AVERAGE people, so YOU ARE NOT AVERAGE, YOU ARE
A GIFTED AND TALENTED PERSON. You have what it takes to be the best you can be.

Stop Giving Covidexcuses!
covidexcuses:
Attempt to lessen the
blame due to COVID-19, seek to defend or justify. Release from a duty or
requirement using COVID-19 as an excuse for everything. A reason or explanation
put forward to support a fault and blaming the lockdown caused by
COVID-19.
It's a poor or
inadequate example of someone who doesn't want to adapt to the new normal-not
accepting ownership, complaining about how wrong everything is due to the virus
outbreak. Constantly being part of the problem, and not part Of the solution.
There can be no possible
covidexcuses for any further delay.

Only Your Faith Can Make
Your Fears Go Away!
Love of people impacts
your business, leadership, and influence. "You can't lead without love and
love of God."
To better illuminate
this concept, we must understand the power and potential of love. Love is the
force behind success in all aspects of life. Fear is what holds everyone back
from achieving their dreams and attaining success. Often it is thought that courage
is the opposite of fear. Nevertheless, this is not true. Love is the
opposite of fear and FAITH is the key to all success!
FEAR is False Evidence
Appearing Real
While LOVE is Leadership
through Optimism, Values, and Endurance
John 3:16
"For God so loved
the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life."

"Whether you think you can, or you think
you can't - you're right." Henry Ford
When I hear the words "I can't," 90%
of the time it's the result of an individual lacking the "right
vision."
Doubting thoughts are the result of one lacking
direction and clarity of vision (doubts create distractions). Life is
challenging. Regardless of the obstacles, you're currently faced with, always
remember that having the right vision in conjunction with a solid action plan,
will allow you to transform any negative situation into a positive and
desirable outcome!
Yes, You Can! YOU CAN Turn Your:
·
Adversity into Your
Advantage
·
Mess into Your Message
·
Test into Your Testimony
·
Pain into Your Possibilities
·
Setback into a Major
Comeback
·
Gift into
Greatness
·
Passion into Profit
·
Success into
Significance
·
Limitations into Legacy
Most importantly, you can and will turn your
dreams into reality!
Vision alone isn't enough, you need the fire
within.
"Vision + The Fire Within =
Transformation"

Communication is not an act, it is an art.
It is the:
1. Art of Asking Questions
When you ask questions, you indicate that you
are interested and invested in the other person and the conversation.
2. Art of Listening
When you are actively listening, you are
allowing the other person to express themselves freely. You are showing them
that their presence is important and their thoughts worth hearing.
3. Art of Connecting
Communication is meant to go beyond just the
verbal or nonverbal exchange of words; it is meant to connect two or more
people on a deeper and more meaningful level. When you connect with someone,
you assure them that they are understood and vice versa.
4. Art of Challenging
A valuable conversation is always meant to
inspire you to take action. It is all about inspiring someone to take massive
action on what they have just discussed with you and to get their commitment to
follow through.
Communication is not a two-way street. It is a
bridge. Either you have one or you build one. It's about connecting, not
correcting.
