We get to build on the conversation that we first had with Elias Rodriguez on how he was forced to grow through the experiences he had with his family, ministry, and his relationship with his wife.  I have known Elias for over 15 years and I've witnessed the evolution of thought, wisdom, and growth that Elias has had. I am always impressed with people who do not hide who they are but rather, they share so that others can benefit. 

Your pain, kept as a secret, can kill you internally. In this episode, Elias Rodriguez and I talk about the upbringing that shaped him, both good and bad, and how he had to come to terms with the reality of his experiences.  Elias drops wisdom on the liberation you receive when you allow yourself to be your true self. Sometimes we have limiting beliefs because of what people tell have told us. Other times, it's because we are ashamed of our past. Whatever is holding you down, you'll be able to take from Elias' story key principles that will position you so that the healing process can begin.  Follow Fredy Romero on Instagram Follow Faith Hustle Podcast on Instagram Follow Elias Rodriguez on Instagram Subscribe to Faith Hustle monthly email.

We spend so much time in school learning to read, write, and to communicate well, yet don't spend enough time learning how to listen to others. It is an underdeveloped skill.  You won't find many successful leaders who aren't good at listening.  In this episode, you'll learn how to apply listening skills in every situation with people and the three ways to listen. 

You think amazing leaders and successful people are born with "it" and that you're not? In this episode, Fredy shares some the lessons he learned on his trip to Israel.  Let's gear up for another strong season. 

We all have the power to influence others. I mean really. You are influential even if you don't feel like you are.  I tell the story of a few teachers that would uncover gold in their students and how I benefitted from having tough teachers. I don't remember the name of a lot of my teachers . . . just the ones that impacted me for good.  You can influence and impact others for good and I'll share with you why it's important to find the gold in others.    www.FredyRomero.com  

The "if" in the statement lets you know that it's conditional. You must build first to then receive the ___(fill in the blank)__. So the question that needs to be asked is: What should I be focused on building?    www.FredyRomero.com Fredy's Instagram Faith Hustle Instagram  

Spring reminds me of baseball and that 1989 movie Field of Dreams where Kevin Costner's character, Ray hears a voice whisper to him, "if you build it, they will come." God calls us to do the incredible, the impossible, the crazy, and it's our faith to listen to His voice that allows us to do the things we need to do to succeed. In this episode, we discuss the principle of believing the call (faith) and doing the things we need to do (hustle) to become the person to reach fulfillment in our calling.  www.FredyRomero.com www.FaithHustle.com

Most people don't have goals because they don't find value in them. Although we could talk about the value of them, today we discuss the areas in which you MUST set goals.  A lot of people don't want to set goals because they fear they won't complete them.  Fredy shares with you F.A.C.E.F.E.A.R.S so that you can easily remember and jot these goals down.  Please share this podcast with two people today and if you haven't already, please leave a rating and a review.

The temptation we often face is to look beyond today to the "someday" when we've "made it" and longer have to endure the things of today. Yet, what we fail to realize is that neglecting our responsibilities today keep us from achieving tomorrow.  In this episdoe, Fredy gives you the reasons why you need to dominate where you are today and 3 Keys to do so. 

How do you overcome the constant distractions that are keeping you from your priorities?  Do you feel like you are pouring out more than you're receiving making you less effective?   In this episode, we explore the concept of planned neglect, a way of doing things so that the main things stay the main things.  If you apply this principle then you won't be easily pulled in different directions.    www.FredyRromero.com Instagram

If you want to succeed, don't quit.  The theme remains the same because that's one thing I see in many people who are full of potential.  In this motivational episode, I will give you the mindset you need to have to apply to your prayers and your life so that you can Crush It!  New International Version Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer. Albert Einstein “If you are going through hell, keep going.”  ― Winston S. Churchill “Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”  ― Martin Luther “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.”  ― Babe Ruth

If you're not growing you're not going . . . anywhere. It should be your focus to develop yourself and those around you.  In today's episode you will learn key principles to adhere to in your people development journey.  People development principles 1. People development takes time. “Leaders don’t create followers, they create more leaders.” — Tom Peters   “Winning companies win because they have good leaders who nurture the development of other leaders at all levels of the organization.” — Noel Tichy   2. People skills are essential for success “Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson 3. Be a model that others can follow “The more seriously you take your growth, the more seriously your people will take you.” — John Maxwell 4. Leaders must care for people before they can develop them. People won't care how much you know until they know how much you care. 5. People developers look for opportunities to build people.   6. The greatest potential for growth of a company is growth of its people.

With modern technologies and a vast array of distractions, human attention spans are now averaging only 8 seconds. Even more alarming than that, leaders are admitting more and more that they cannot stay focused on important tasks for too long. Students aren't studying when they should be studying. Gym goers are giving their workouts only minimal efforts. Leaders aren't sharpening their tools because they are constantly losing focus. Today's episode will help us with three ways to bring focus back to the Faith Hustle equation.  www.FredyRomero.com  

Whether they know it or not, everyone has a dream. Unfortunately, you may not realize how to make that dream a reality.  As dreamers, it is your responsibility to own your dream and duties it requires. God will handle His part.  In this episode, Fredy talks about the importance of owning your dream and how to show ownership.  www.FredyRomero.com

It's time that you stop blaming others for the poor results that you get. It's time to take responsibility for it will enrich you. Share this with three people you know! www.FredyRomero.com

In this ever-shrinking world you are taught more and more that you should not burn any of your bridges. The idea is that you'll never know when you need that contact, opportunity, and connection again. Fredy believes that keeping your bridges up should not be an absolute. In fact, I encourage bridge burning.  In this episode, Fredy shares four bridges everyone should burn and why you should do so.

It may seem that you're getting the short end of the stick when you don't get the opportunities you deserve. Yet, what you may not realize is that you don't have to complain, cry, or get bitter about it.  In fact, you can take the rejection and create your own opportunity to get better.  In this episode, Fredy gives you three mindset shifts that will help you to get better.  www.FredyRomero.com

We all have those reservations to try something new. Whether it's food, an adventure, public speaking, leading, or anything, we tend to side with caution because of fear.  Hustlers, you know that F.E.A.R is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real. It's crazy to think that what we used to be afraid of, we know enjoy, or we discover we're good at the things we've avoided for so long.  In this edition of 3 Minute Thursdays, Fredy motivates you to bypass the fear and to try it.  Go crush it! Please share this with 3 people. www.FredyRomero.com  

The people we lead won't improve unless we guide them and develop them. Even when things don't go well, we need to be present in resolving conflicts. Yet, if we know that situations won't resolve themselves, why do we avoid confrontation? Confrontation isn't really satisfying but it is a necessity from time to time. Is it because we're scared? Is it because we don't know what to do? Fredy gives you 10 Rules for confronting situations or people so that you can crush the situation without crushing your relationships or their spirits.  Please share this with someone you love.  www.FredyRomero.com

To be able to prioritize you need to have goals. If you don't, you won't know what actions to make a priority and you'll fail to stay focused. Distractions come to those who don't know how to put first things first.  Fredy gives you a practical example of how to do so in this week's 3 Minute Thursday.  Please share this podcast with friends, coworkers, and family.  Also, please give us a rating and review on iTunes.  www.FredyRomero.com www.FaithHustle.com 

It is inevitable that as you become more committed to achieving your success and walking out your God-given calling, that you will find yourself being pulled in a bunch of different directions.  There's always going to be tempting opportunities to do more and it'll only continue to keep you busy.  In this episode, Fredy talks about how being busy isn't always a good thing and the three questions John Maxwell uses to prioritize his time and activity.  Please share this episode now!   www.FredyRomero.com www.FaithHustle.com  

There are a ton of books, blogs, videos, and conferences that give out information about leadership. In this episode, Fredy debunks two huge leadership myths out there.  Take a listen and grow your leadership lid today.  www.FredyRomero.com

When was the last time you learned something new for the first time? Some of us don't grow because we've lost our curiosity, we don't explore, and experiment like we used to. It's time to be become curious. It will lead to learning and growth.    www.FredyRomero.com

When you get on a plane, the instructions for plane trouble include the details of what should happen when the oxygen masks are deployed. They tell you to put your mask on first and only then, should you help little children around you. Why? Because you're no good to anyone if you're not ok. As leaders, you may be biting more than you can chew by putting the needs of others before yours. www.FredyRomero.com

Today we’re talking about where your focus needs to be . . . personal development. It’s the foundation of achievement.   But before we get after it, I want to let you know that Saturday, May 20th, I am hosting the first Faith Hustle Breakthrough Session of the year. It’s called: Put Your Dream to the Test Put Your Dream to the Test will help you transform your dream from a vague notion of an ideal future into a clear picture of where you’re headed in life. The Faith Hustle Breakthrough Session will serve as a tool to diagnose your odds of achieving your dream.

It’s only open to 10 people so if you want in, go fill out an app, let me know you’re interested, and my team and I will send you more info about it this week AND give you a couple hours to sign up for this BEFORE it opens up. The traditional business practice is about getting busy for the sake of being busy. The owners and leaders work in the business and on the business. For them, any form of activity is king.  For successful leaders, learning is king. They consistently work on personal growth. The top leaders in the world work on themselves first, and then the business.  The growth of your business depends on the quality of your ability to think. Yet, only a few people intentionally do daily activities that challenge their thinking, raise their awareness, stretch their faith, and improve their vision.  www.FredyRomero.com  

Too many people stroll passively through life, intrigued by a whole slew of possibilities . . . they always talk about what can be but they’re not committed to making any of them a reality. If you’re interested in making things happen then you’re the kind of person who only kicks the tires . . . someone passive. If you’re someone who is committed to make things happen, then you’re the kind of person who gets behind the wheel to drive . . . you’re someone proactive. The reason you may not have achieved those things you want to achieve is because you’re showing interests when you should really be showing commitment. In this episode, coach Fredy motivates you to commit to your dreams by giving you the practical tips to thrive. Fredy presents you examples of famous people who were committed to their dreams and made things happen! We want you to crush it.

You know that we preach community and groups because we believe that that can anchor your success and  so today, we brought someone in, who is leading one of the best niched community groups out there. Kevin Yap shares with us his story of how he started LASC with two friends, to provide value to artists and today, they have over 100 hundred people show up monthly, to their Monday Night Hang.  LASC is a prime example of community done right. As you listen to Kevin’s story, you’ll notice how the focus was never to have a big group but rather the focus was to provide value to people, to care for people, and to connect people.  It’s not about looking inward for your own gain but rather to look outward for the betterment of others.  Please take note that this isn't only for musicians or songwriters. These principles apply across the board.  For more in about LASC click here, LASC Instagram, LASC Facebook, and LASC Twitter.   Fredy's: website, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

Today we have the honor of of talking to undeafeated, feather-weight UFC competitor, Brian T-City Ortega.  As one of the few people in the whole world, who has fought in the octagon in front of millions and won, Brian shares his philosophy of preparation, winning and losing on your own terms, setbacks, and the importance of surrounding yourself with good people to see your blind spots, to take care of you, and to push you to your limits. Brian talks about how he deals with injury and how he uses the time off for his advantage.  He shares light on why you need to continually have that core of loyal people that have your back in the good times and the bad.  Brian also talks about the fat that he dislikes the word "luck" because it undermines all of the hard work and sacrifice he has put in to advance his career.  You have to be mentally tough to win in the octagon and that preparation takes place outside of it.    Show notes: www.FaithHustle.com For coaching: www.FredyRomero.com Brian Ortega UFC page: http://www.ufc.com/fighter/Brian-Ortega?id=     

Today, Nohan Cruz joins us in studio to talk about the traits he looks for in up and comers. He shines the light on having hunger, passion, and internal desire to pursue your vision and goals.  He has personally mentored JC and I and we pray that this chat motivates you to lead better and to be better. You have to have passion in order to succeed. If you have passion and a hunger, then you'll attract mentors. People will want to pour into you if you show that you're hungry. If you want to mentor people you have to give them freedom to excel in all areas.  To develop hunger, you need to know what you're calling is. Ask questions. Ask yourself what you're good at and what interests you.  Why are you not hungry in life? Nike opened its doors to Nohan and he excelled in that company because of his passion. It's propelled him to travel for the company, opening stores, training team members, and empowering the amazing culture at Nike.  How does Nohan pick choose where his time and energy go? Learn how to say "no" to many things. There are some things you can't get be involved in because they aren't a part of God's calling for your life.  Learn to invest in yourself. If you take the time to grow, you will reap the benefits of that investment.  Learn soul-care.  "I don't find time . . . I make time," says Nohan. He looks at what's important and allocates his time for those activities and he is all-in. So figure out what season you're in. When you realize what season you're in you'll know where you have to dedicate time.  Build a bench. Start pouring into others so that you can succeed in your organization. Be willing to let go and to trust people. They'll grow as you give them freedom, empower them, give them the keys, and see what they can do.
