Motivational Quote: “it’s not the critic who counts…the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Question: How do you balance your Recruiting/Field Training/Personal schedules?
The problem most people have is that they don’t have a schedule. There are 168 hours in a week and 112 hours left if you sleep 8 hours a day. What are you doing with those 112 hours that you are awake? If you commit 56 of those hours to focused hard work you will achieve anything you want.
Question: What motivates you?
My parents came to the United States with nothing. They made a lot of sacrifices for my brother and I growing up. I want to make the same sacrifices but do so with the knowledge that I have a huge head start compared to where they were at. I am motivated by challenges, to win, and to help other achieve things they never thought they could achieve. I am motivated by the “impossible.”
Question: What are your top 5 Priorities each week?
1) Growth
2) Making sure I have no weak agents and if I do that I fix it.
3) That I learn something new each day.
4) That I form a habit each week that will lead to more success in 90 days.
5) Start each day positive and end each day positive.
Question: What made this month so productive?
Belief, vision, work ethic.
Question: What advice would you have for other Managers to get to where you’re at?
Don’t expect things to happen overnight. Have a game plan and form the right habits to execute that game plan daily. The best time to plant a tree was 25 years ago but the best time is now. You have to work toward what you want intentionally and with a plan, not hoping it works out. Whatever you want to achieve starts right now.
