We all need support at times. As we continue to develop both personally and professionally during the course of our lives, we all have those ‘things' that we can count on.     What happens when the ‘things' that we have relied upon for strength, guidance, or even just friendship are removed? Potentially destabilizing events can be thrusted upon us suddenly and/or while we sit and helplessly watch the incoming tide.   In today's podcast, I dive deep into a space where we touch upon every emotion a human possesses.  It's an episode that my friend, Johnny Ruppert and I have talked about doing for some time now.  Only this time, it's about his journey and sharing how he dealt with the balancing of the "floating dock" (representing LIFE). Listen to this personal discussion as Johnny shares how his "Life ANCHORS" that kept the "floating dock" stable, slowly began to snap one chain at a time.   Our goal with today's episode is to show that along our journey throughout life, we will need the help of others. Always remember, it's okay to reach out and ask. The support of others is what "Anchors" us and keeps us grounded, preventing us from going adrift. Johnny shares with us how he refused to surrender to the storm and made the decision to grow and adapt to form the new anchors that has gotten him through his day to day life.     I am so grateful for Johnny Ruppert. As a friend of over 25+ years, I wish that I would have known MORE about what he was going through in his personal life, how he was desperately trying to balance the "floating dock" as the "anchors" were coming apart. I remember first hand when he was going through these turbulent times in his life.  I was on the outside looking in, not knowing what was happening inside the mind of my friend.     I am thankful to him for entrusting my platform and podcast, T20E World to share with us all his personal journey. I hope this episode makes an impact in your life. Not only to know that it is always okay to reach out and ask for assistance during those tough times or turbulent times (as we call it) but also to get professional help when you are feeling all alone and like there is no one you can trust.  It's perfectly okay.   I ask that you please leave us a review with comments, share this episode or share an experience. We can make this world a much better place, if we learn to continue to respect, accept and support one another. Thank you.

Where does finding the genius in YOU all begin? On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) I share with you HOW to find the "GENIUS in YOU". I want you to keep in mind that this is a process of getting to know who you really are. And no, I do not mean who you want to be … I mean UNDERSTANDING who you really are deep down!  Throughout this episode I explain how you should evaluate yourself and every personality you have. I want you to be familiar with your FEARS and have a true understanding of what your PASSIONS are. Do you know what you do really well and what you do not do well with? Think about that.  I hope this episode helps you start to build or develop your dreams and set your goals in life. Careers have been built on people's passions . . .  BUT remember in order to get there you must first find the GENIUS in YOU! And like I always say . . .  TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – YOU NEED TO BE THE DIFFERENCE.

On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) I bring back Steven Cruz to talk to us about how to RESPECT the struggle and how to NOT struggle for respect.  It is so important to not only respect yourself, but others around you too. When you walk into a room, do not just respect the people you are waiting to meet. Make sure you respect EVERYONE around you. Giving respect will help you gain respect! You can not buy respect . . . you must EARN respect. It is also important to always stay humble and grounded. The strive for respect is a journey not a destination. And as Steve says . . . "Always be true to yourself" 

On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) I have with me special guest Eldine Agodomou. Eldine is from Togo West Africa and he is a certified coach, speaker, trainer, and entrepreneur! For Eldine, life was not easy and grew up very poor. Eldine had a dream and that dream was to come to America one day and be financially successful. When Eldine was selected to come to America through a lottery, he had to come up with a plan, and that plan was to go to school and make a living for himself. Although Eldine struggled, he worked anywhere possible so he could afford school and send money back home. Today, Eldine owns several successful companies in the United States and overseas in West Africa with real estate, investments, and chocolate production company. Eldine explains that when you have a drive nothing can stop you and you need to have consistency and persistence in order to be successful!  “No matter who you are, or where you come from, you CAN make it big in this country!” - Eldine Agodomou

On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) I am with my special guest Steven Cruz. Steven is the president of Omega Educational Consulting, INC. He is also a facilitator who specializes in educational counseling, program development, and student affairs. In this episode, Steven shares with us the most important skill for ACING college admissions and in your life. Steven explains that the number one skill is RESPECT. You need to always respect yourself first especially when it comes to starting your college career. When you start college, you have to figure out what you want to do in life. Unfortunately, we start college at such a young age that most of us do not know what we really want to do. BUT that is all part of the process of life, and when you make a decision whether it may be wrong or right, you have to learn to fail. IF you respect yourself, you will respect yourself from failing. Throughout the episode, Steven will guide you through steps on how to be SUCCESSFUL through the whole college process.  He says interesting people make the most interesting applicants and his key advice is to always  “be faithful and keep on working!”  Steven works with all levels and starts as young as students who are in their freshman year of high school!

On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) Chris McCormack is back to share with everyone how the hardest part of any journey is the FIRST STEP. Chris was on episode 43 “Working from Anywhere … in the WORLD” as he shared with us how he is a world traveler, photographer, humanitarian, and public speaker.  Taking the first step of YOUR journey is the hardest part. You must step outside of your comfort zone in order to take your FIRST STEP. We tend to always think of the worst things that could possibly happen to us, but why not think of the positives instead of the negatives?  Unfortunately, the more you want to succeed the more haters you will get, BUT do not let that take you down … it is the nature of life and just the way it is. It will only make you stronger. You may feel like you will fail along the way, but Chris expresses that you NEVER fail, you either win or you learn! You just always have to believe in yourself!  Chris leaves off with great advice for all … “There are many ways to make it to the top of the mountain, someone else's path may not be yours. Stay on your path, NO MATTER WHAT. If you do that..... see you at the top!”

While there are so many great reasons why one should take on a PARTNER for your business, it is so important to also understand and become very aware of what could possibly go wrong if you fail to be CLEAR before entering any PARTNERSHIP. On this week's episode of The 2020 Entrepreneur World (T20E World) I am here to create better awareness as to what I have seen happen during my 30+ years in business both through corporate and small businesses. In this episode I share with you 10 AWARENESS Tips that you should review before taking on a business partnership!  OWNERSHIP. Percentages DO NOT change efforts. VISION. ALL must be on the same page.  Similar VALUES. If you do not share similar values you may want to stop NOW. Developing the CULTURE, ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES. SALARIES. Small businesses need to start small.  PROFITS . . . Money is the root of all evil . . . will money change us?  DECISION PROCESS. There needs to be a clear understanding and agreement.  The RELATIONSHIP and RESPECT. Together as a team you can grow. End Result. What is your GAME PLAN and your overall GOAL. Make sure to have an EXIT plan for ALL partners as well as for the business. It is CRITICAL that when you are thinking about entering a partnership for a business, that you must go in being CAUTIOUS and CLEAR. You must do your homework. Everyone needs to be on SAME PAGE!

In this episode, we dive deep into the negotiating topic when it comes to sales. In order to be an effective negotiator you must always remain calm, focused and be a great communicator!  Johnny and I share with you the top TIPS on negotiating and how to gain more confidence:  The person across from you is not the PROBLEM. They are not the enemy nor are they the opponent, but identify the true issue at hand and focus on it. Remember the HUMAN FACTOR, and find the reasons, value status, and the responsibilities  Take your time, it is not a RACE  Find the OPTIONS for mutual gains, and compromise. Be sure to deliver several options where you both potentially can benefit from Make sure the relationship is LONG TERM END RESULT. Both parties will feel like they made a good deal Remember ALWAYS be a GOOD communicator!!!

In this week's episode I share with you how to make better choices in life! There is no doubt that life is full of CHOICES and/or decisions. My goal is to share with you REASONS why we should NEVER regret the choices we have made in our life and learn to make BETTER choices moving forward. I always say that “a choice you make TODAY can CHANGE your destiny for tomorrow”. WE ARE ALL HUMAN and everyone has made some wrong choices, but NEVER beat yourself up for that. Learn from it and move forward to do better and understand your reasons for making that CHOICE at that time, accept it and move FORWARD and GROW from it. MOTIVATE yourself to make better choices as you grow in life. Take on NEW opportunities,  and find that one thing that keeps you moving forward. FIND IT and GROW IT. YOU be YOU. Do not live someone else's DREAM because you are afraid to make a wrong choice. Get to know you and live your own life, not someone else's.  UNDERSTANDING that we CANNOT always be waiting for that PERFECT TIME to make a choice. When you think you finally made the right choice at the perfect time there is always something or someone else that opposes it. Avoiding the NOISE around you. When it comes time to make those difficult choices, take advice from those you TRUST and have guided you in your life and know who to take advice from. And as I always say … “Choices in LIFE we MAKE allow for us to GROW tomorrow” - Hugo Almeida.

BE SELECTIVE … Make sure you know the crowd beforehand and dress the part because you want to REPRESENT YOU.   Have a GOAL in mind and stick to it … Remember TIME is LIMITED.   Have your ELEVATOR PITCH … it is important to have several pitches, for example, a personal and a business pitch. Always remember what makes you MEMORABLE and know how to tell your story.   Stay POSITIVE at ALL times … Too many of us are not certain or confident so we gravitate to the negative side because its easier, but create comfort in your space and a conversation will flow much better.   Remember your PURPOSE and you are there to WORK … So work the room, work the crowd, and work the individuals. It is so important to compliment, connect, thank and move on.   Do NOT stay in your SHELL … You must break out of your bubble and comfort zone.  How do you do that? Select 5 people and introduce yourself   ENGAGE in a conversation … Make Eye Contact, smile, find the balance, and stay focused on your conversation.   FOLLOW THROUGH and FOLLOW UP … It is key to take notes on each business card you collect to remember who you are meeting. Connect via LinkedIn, email, or even shoot a quick text! And most importantly … PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

Have you ever thought to yourself, "should I try going into sales?" The word SALES fears most, “I don’t know how to sell”, “selling scares me,” BUT . . . if you have the ability to talk with people and make them FEEL comfortable around you. If you keep it REAL and believe in the products or services you work with. Give it a shot, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain! The art of selling is understanding and listening to people, that is the KEY.  Sales does more than just put money in your pocket . . .  it DEVELOPS you as an individual and as a professional. Yes, a sales role will come with pressure but the most successful sales professionals are those you not only keep REAL but follow through on things when they say they are going to do so!I strongly feel that everyone should try out the world of SALES . . . GO FOR IT, you will amaze yourself at what you are capable of doing and conquering!!!

"Take life with a grain of salt, and enjoy the moments you actually have because corporate america styles will always keep changing just like technology.  And most importantly, should you find yourself looking to land a new role or your first job in Corporate America . . . try not stress about it, because in the end . . . it all works out!!!"

You want to surround yourself with positive individuals!  Why waste your valuable time around negativity, it only drains you and takes up more time you should be investing elsewhere.My goal is to educate you and how to respect TIME.

Another great call in this week with an old friend of mine Joe Nemec!He mentored me through my career and his words have always stuck with me ever since. Driven by Vision, but LEAD by Mission YOU must capture the vision, and develop it into a mission!Surround yourself around people who will contribute to your SUCCESS.  You must always remember that individual or corporate life have to operate differently, and a character establishes culture for your business.   If you can dream it you can do it!!!
