Whoo.
Vamo.
We need energy.
Energy.
Listen, this is a leadership school.
You need energy.
It’s morning, right? You didn’t just roll off bad, right? You got up excited because you.
You’re alive today, right? Because we’re blessed that we’re here today.
I thank God every single morning.
I said, thank God I woke up today, because some people didn’t, you know? So we gotta be grateful sometimes you don’t know how grateful you have to be.
So my talk is mindset, right? That’s one of the things that I always had, I think, growing up with my parents, because my parents, dominican immigrants and always had a positive attitude.
He says, listen.
Me, huh? We didn’t come to this country to depend on the government.
We came here to work.
We came here to make money.
And as long as you’re alive, there is hope.
So you go out there and you get yours, right? So they were always like that.
So they was like, you couldn’t complain because they’re like, okay, you’re alive.
You got two legs, right? I think you’re good, right? So I just never complained, right? Because they just.
That’s how they were, right? So.
Oh, I have to click.
God knows that by now.
I should know this, right? Okay, now this, like this.
Down.
No.
Wrong way.
I’ll learn.
I’ll learn.
Listen, listen.
Sometimes.
Sometimes, you know what? It doesn’t matter.
We make money here, right? You don’t have to know how to use this clicker.
That’s all I know.
Right? So let’s talk about it, right? A butterfly, right? Where’s the.
Oh, he said it’s here.
Let me pay attention.
You don’t just wake up, right, and become a butterfly.
We go through a growth process, right? You don’t just come into this business and boom.
And you see everybody like, oh.
Cause people come here.
Well, this is more for new people because people come here with the idea that, oh, my God, I joined Primerica and they need to make money tomorrow.
Yesterday doesn’t work like that.
It’s a process, right? Most of us tell ourselves that we want to grow, but what we really mean is we want to keep everything we like about ourselves and getting rid of what we don’t like and getting more of what we think we want or going to like.
It doesn’t work like that, right? It’s not like that.
We got a really.
You got to get rid of your old self.
That’s one of the things I realized, right? I wanted certain things that I like, but you got to become a whole new person.
And this company, in this business, actually, because America is just, when people say, oh, it’s life insurance.
No, it’s not.
It’s life.
This is your life.
Your awareness.
Primerica makes you aware of what you’re missing in life.
Did you realize that? Because when you come here, yes, we save lives, but the first lives we have to save is yours.
If you don’t save yours, how are you going to save others? You got to believe, right? Like we have.
We’re so excited.
We have.
The team is new here.
Everybody has new people.
And one thing that I love, you know, the convention was great, right? But you know how great it was? It’s more even great if you have new people that sold.
You know, the veterans that went and brought new people and they sold down, they came and brought more new people to this event.
That’s why it was great.
Because if it.
If it was just me, then how great was it then, right? So those are the things, right? So we want to.
We want to sell out, right? So I, you know, I had a teammate, were training her and.
And, you know, and this happens, right? And the treat, the team, they want to just a pack.
And I’m like, I’m sorry, but you’re not going to make any money here.
I’m going to tell you right now, I’m not going to lie to you.
You’re not going to be able to make money here, because if you don’t buy into or you don’t believe in what you’re selling, how are you going to sell this other people? That’s not going to happen.
I just want to be, you know, I don’t want you to think that.
That you’re going to make money just because you sell to somebody and you didn’t.
You didn’t buy in, right? So we got to buy in.
We got to leave the old selves.
How do we do that? We do that by attending every single event.
Oh, my God.
I have life.
Everybody does.
You gotta fit it in.
And I realized life time stretches, right? So believe to have confidence in the truth, right, of something, although without absolute proof, believe.
That’s one of the things that I sold in to believe.
Once I started believing, because I used to think like it happens to other people, but once I started realizing that believing, even though no one around me believed my whole.
We have families, right? My whole family doubted me at this point, but I was laser focused in what I wanted and what I wanted, I just kept going and they said, why do you keep going? You’re not even winning.
They don’t even call your name.
I didn’t listen to the noise.
I knew the purpose that God put in me, and I knew I had to follow the mission, right? Because that was the mission for me.
That wasn’t their mission.
That is their job.
Their job is to doubt me and want to knock me down, because that makes me stronger.
Remember, whatever is going, whatever noise is going in your house, your doubters, that is what’s going to make you stronger.
But if you don’t accept it and you fall apart and you cry and you crawl and you just, you know, say, give up.
Right? A lot of people do that.
That’s it.
Then where are you going to go? Where else is there an opportunity like this? There is no other opportunity like this, okay? Receive, accept, reap gain, obtain, win.
That’s what I started this.
Sarah Salazar made this story that says, believe and receive, and I just adopted that forever.
And I just.
That’s all.
I just received.
Believed, and that’s all.
And people will ask me, I said, things are gonna happen.
I declare what was gonna happen.
And I just started receiving because I believe.
I didn’t listen to the noise.
When people say, how on earth are you going to get this ring? Which I actually forgot it today, right? How are you going to get this ring? I said, the way this is going to happen is someone’s going to come with a large tray, and I never done a large tray, and, like, $2 million, right? They’re going to come with a large tray, and I’m going to roll it over.
But there was no client.
There was not that person.
I never done a larger tray.
And then the guy came, and I called John Sheen.
I said, the guy came, $2 million, and I gotta help him.
And guess what? It was pandemic.
It was challenging, but I believed and I received.
Right? That’s how powerful it was.
I didn’t listen to anyone.
I kept showing up when I shouldn’t have, most people.
But I knew that it was my journey, right? And faith, in order to receive, you must ask.
But when you ask, you must ask with faith, you must believe that what you’re asking for is going to happen.
Just, there was no.
And I’m like, it’s going to happen during pandemic.
It’s going to happen when everything’s closed, it’s going to happen.
Right? And it happened.
Right? Focus.
You got to be focused.
This is my grandson, by the way.
I figure, why use other pictures.
Let me use my grandson.
He’s one.
And he’s focused on whatever it is.
So we got to be focused.
I was laser focused.
Be focused for the new people that are here.
You’re here today.
You’re probably what is going on.
And you’re hearing all these things.
Sometimes you don’t understand.
Just be focused on what you want.
What is it that God put in your heart? What is it that you want? Whatever it is that you want, go for it.
Doesn’t matter what other people say.
Know what you want and focus no matter what.
And one of the things that I did right as well.
Right.
I want to show your numbers, tell your story.
My numbers always tell my story.
If I.
If, you know, if you struggle.
One of the things that I realized, if I struggle in life, financially, it wasn’t primarily because Ray Costello said something one day.
And, you know, by the way, today you’re gonna get a word, but you gotta be here.
Not in the bathroom.
You’re gonna be here, and you’re gonna get that word.
And he said that primerica has money.
And that primerica pays him a lot of money.
And if my primarica is broke, I gotta fix it.
And I said, oh, my God, that’s so powerful.
I gotta go fix my broke primerica because primerica pays.
And I said, you know what? I’m gonna go fix my prime America.
And ever since that word he gave me, I fixed my primerica.
And Primerica pays me.
I don’t have to stress out.
I’m going to go up to the next level.
But I stopped stressing over things.
I put everything on automatic.
Because one day I was in the office and Grace was paying everything automatic.
And I said, I gotta do that.
I’m dying.
Want that? So I focus.
And I.
And I did that.
So listen to your word.
And.
And that’s the word that’s gonna get you to the next level.
So, look, if you’re making a thousand, right, it tells your story, right? Where are you? Are you just.
When you get that 3000, you just settle.
Like, oh, I made my 3000.
That’s it.
You don’t do no more.
Look and know who you are.
Who are you? What are you doing? If you’re making the same income month in and month out, that’s who you are.
You only do so many appointments.
You don’t do enough, right? And you just keep settling.
But you want more.
You come here and you’re like, oh, my God, I’m going to be there, but you’re not going to be there because you keep doing the same routine.
You don’t change your routine.
One of the things that I did was I wanted to lose weight for a long time.
Every year that Cardino had a banquet, I had to go to the store and try all the outfit.
And I made my daughter go with me.
And she said, mama, why do we have to go through the same thing? Why don’t you do something about it? I’m like, what? She goes, why don’t you do it in the gym? I’m like, I’m not good for the gym.
That means I have to get up early and extra early.
I don’t have time.
She said, well, then we’re going to have this problem all the time.
All right, so then we go.
And then, and then one day I got fed up and I said, you know what? I’m going for it.
So this is me before I was Carol and Ray with me, actually, the wedding.
You see my face, right? Allow yourself to hold, to believe and to trust again.
Don’t let a few bad memories stop you from having a good life.
Cause I was doing that.
I couldn’t do it.
But now, you know what? I get up at 530, I’m there at the gym, and I love it.
A year and a half, right? 30 pounds later, I did it right.
I still have more to go, but that’s what focus and believe and mindset does for you.
Back to our leader, Joe Craig.
