So many words of wisdom were spoken by Pamela in this podcast that it was difficult to choose the title. Any number of things she said would have been perfect. Pamela went through episodes of a lack of confidence and assurance within herself. For example when a rude man looked her intently in her eyes and told her she was a joke in the faith community and that she should go home and take care of her children. She is anything but a joke. It was certainly a blow to her but fortunately for us she didn’t let it keep her down. Someone else came along later and told her she needed to be a trailblazer because she was ahead of her time. That’s the counsel she chose to listen to. This woman is so inspirational, you really must listen to this podcast. Once you do you can check out her own podcast where you will learn she is the founder of Purpose by Design as well as a pastor of Victory Celebration Church.

If you like to be inspired, pumped, and motivated listen to this podcast. Delilah learned many awesome lessons as a little girl but still grew up with a self-perception that would weigh her down and absolutely would not serve her purpose. She speaks of her family’s poverty and the hard work it created for every family member. But that was how she learned the importance of effective leadership and that when you are a part of a team, you will have to develop the skill of being able to follow as well as being able to lead. She believes everyone will be called upon to lead at some point. Despite the negative self-beliefs, she always knew she was a fighter, had something to say (just didn’t know what that was), and knew that she could get to the person she wanted to be with hard work. She believes in movement and states “don’t get comfortable with a success you weren’t designed for. Keep moving.” Delilah can be found on Linked In

Spirituality Made Simple – Tomás Garza Do you think you don’t have enough time to meditate? Is the idea of spirituality beyond your scope of appreciation? Think again. Tomás has been meditating since he was a teen. He learned how in geometry class. He continued the practice for the rest of his life and discovered he was a spiritual person. As are all of us. He teaches a class called A Course in Miracles – Awakening to Love in which he coaches meditation. It turns out you can benefit from meditation by focusing on one breath cycle.

Rich was a preacher's kid and grew up knowing the bible truths. But somewhere along the way, he was infected with a prejudicial mindset. He could be around other ethnicities but he came to the awareness that he didn’t treat all people the same. After entering the military, he went to a bar-b-q that was predominantly black people who were making slurring remarks to him and that is when he became aware of how hurtful not treating people right could be. He knew he had to change that mindset. He deliberately started putting himself in situations where people of color and sexual preferences that he didn’t agree with congregated. He learned that people are just people. You don’t have to agree with them to treat them with care and respect. While in the military he coached and mentored people in the areas of leadership, communication, and human resource management. He thus became familiar with John Maxwell and determined that he wanted to take his certification course and do some type of mentoring and coaching for a post-military career. The pandemic spawned an “E” magazine to provide a platform for businesses to share their voice and market their businesses which has become well known. Currently, he is developing a mindset course and a transition course called Become an Interview Rockstar. (Hint: It’s about beefing up your job interview skills.) With his experience, Rich can be of help in numerous areas of life. If you know you need help here’s how you can reach him: Call: 719-896-118 Email: Rich@yoursuccess.biz

One of four kids, John’s family immigrated to Canada from Vietnam. Hard work was what they knew and was their normal. It was probably what made him such a strong, energetic, determined guy from his youth. He started in sales with a paper route. He studied business finance in college with one year as an exchange student in England. For ten years he sold ads for Yellow Pages. It allowed him to build relationships with many small-medium business owners. He learned that there is not much return on investment with printed ads. He knew early on that his purpose was to take care of others by adding value. So he decided to help small-medium businesses dominate their niche markets in their local environments by digital advertising of which he knew nothing. He had to learn SEO and how to get a business to show up on Google’s first search page. He has built his own successful business by helping others to be successful. An all-around win-win situation.
