Are You What You Know?

Are you “what” you know?

To answer that question you must first describe yourself as to what you “really” know, in terms of usable information, and will it match the persona behind the scenes as well as the front-runner.

Transparency is a key factor in relationship-building strategies, maintenance and sustainability.   Consistently being who you are solidifies relationships in all areas of your personal and professional life, and the opposite is true if you want to scare folks off.  They would leave skid marks and run the other way.

Why is this important?  Authenticity and transparency, attracts people like bees to honey, and you are then in a position of solving their unique problem.  What you know can then be turned into organized information that can be monetized and turned into a business, passive income, and sharing with others to add to an education library just to mention a few examples.  In the digital world of on-line business, the more meaningful and concise information you possess the greater your chances of solving unique problems which turn you into an expert in your field.  And, this information can be digitized and sold as a product for as long as your audience wants it, needs it, and craves it.  By the way, always keep it fresh and relevant.

As much as knowledge is important, compiling and organizing is just as important and then, take action towards your marketing, selling, distributing and fulfilling product’s orders.  People want what you have (knowledge), it is your turn to make it happen for them, and for yourself.   

When you think of legacy, sharing knowledge is a beautiful thing and you will be immortalized in your intellectual property.  It is not only part of who you are, but part of how you will be remembered.  You get to choose the “what” and the “how”, and that in itself, is not only very powerful, but extremely empowering.  Living life under your terms and then sealing it with ongoing memories for generations to come it’s homage to who you are, what you know, how you live and how you’re known and remembered!

So tell me, are you “what” you know?  Get inspired to assess your knowledge, compile it, organize it, and make a business out of it.  Think of how it can serve you as you serve others in solving their unique problems!

My Best Always,

Re-charge, Re-juvenate, Relax

Every time I travel I get so juiced-up, I always come back with all the “RE’s” in place.  Re-charged, re-juiced, re-juvenated, re-connected, re-laxed, re-creative, re-flective, re-joiced!.  This time was a little different.  It was all of that…and then some.

I decided to visit the South of Spain again, more specifically Marbella, in mid May for a couple of weeks.  This time I did not want to wait until November (my birthday) and my intuition told me loud and clear, in no certain terms, this is the time to go, and early May, as I was typing on my Computer out of the clear blue, I stood up and said:  “I’m going to Marbella”, and go I did.  Had no idea how, when, nor why, I simply “decided” to decide.  I felt a deep  calling for me to take action right there and then, and so I did.  Talk about an empowering experience!  Do you practice any of this in your daily life, like “deciding to decide”? It will blow your mind, and little by little it will change your life all for the better.  You’ll be flexing your “decision-making” muscle.  For sure!

I arrived in Marbella only to be greeted by friends I made last year, and it was party time from then on.  And yet something very interesting and magical happen, some of the friends had young friends looking for mentorship and guidance.  What an opportunity to practice my craft!!! and so I did.  The upper and middle management of the hotel I was staying also needed some direction and clarity for what they were doing, so I was happy to be of service.   It was an amazing experience, considering I was doing all this simultaneously in two languages, and there was a wonderful diversity of cultures and idiosyncrasies.  Take a look at the photo albums uploaded on Facebook at http://Facebook.com/AliRodriguezFans , click photos, and look at the two short albums labeled “Marbella” – Enjoy the “trip”.

All these experiences woke up my Muse big time and re-ignited my creative juices for new programs I’m designing especially for you.  I was profoundly moved by the fact that being open to possibilities certainly bring them in, and what an honor to once again, stand in the service of others and being of help when I was needed.

I trust you decide to take time off this Summer so that you can put some of your “RE’s” in place and come back better than ever to that special place you call “home”.  We all need the break, and now more than ever.

Also, look for opportunities where your gift to the world can be shared while you globe-trot (even if in your own backyard) through the wonders of the World.

Freedom and Glory

 It seems like it was just yesterday, but in actuality, it was a few decades ago, when I placed my hand over my heart to “Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America” as I became a naturalized U.S. citizen.  I have to tell you, it was one of the proudest moments of my life.

 

 To this date, I still evoke that moment, and the feelings of pride that come with it as an “inspiration” to my daily dealings.  It is amazing what a whole bunch of Pride can do for you, and for those around you.

  
As we celebrate Independence Day in the United States, I want you to use this special day, in the midst of BBQs, Block Parties, and Fireworks, to “Pause, Enjoy, Celebrate!”
 
Think of the Freedom that “We, the People”, are afforded every day, and what all happened to take us to where we are today, and take a moment to thank those that deserve our deepest gratitude, as if not for them and the decisons and sacrifices they made, the outcome would have been very different and so would our lives today.
 

So no matter where in the world you are and join the celebration for the Freedom of our Country, think of those who made it happen for us, and to so many that still continue to protect our freedom and state of democracy.

 

We have you in our thoughts, our hearts, our prayers, and give you gratitude and respect. 

 
Thank you for reading this far, it tells me that your heart is full of pride and joy for the true and full meaning of “Independence Day”!

Have a fabulous and very special “Fourth of July”!


To Your Success, (Always!!!)

Silence To The Fifth Power

When the noises around you are so loud you can’t hear yourself think, what do you do?  You turn them off!  And if by magic, you can think again, and envision again, and create again, and dialogue again, and feel a sense of newly regained energy, “again”.

That is Silence to the Fifth Power. It restores your sense of wellness, and wholeness.  It’s got magical healing and healthy properties. And it’s so simple; all you have to do is “Turn-On the Silence” while blocking out all other noises and distractions that are unhealthy, unproductive and toxic.  Yes, they get to the point of toxicity.

Benefits of Silence: When you practice Silence, you get quiet in your head, you connect to that Greater than yourself, and you can think with a tremendous amount of clarity, while feeling peace and joy within.  This gives balance to your intellect to connect to relaxation rather than stress, thus minimizing most things that affect your health causing stress-related illnesses.

Additional Benefits are found on how you conduct your personal life, family relations, dealing with children, neighbors, friends, and your community at large.  As for your professional life and for those who are business owners, Silence is a monumental key to success or failure of your enterprising empire.  Think of Silence as a true companion directly impacting your bottom-line success, whether you are self-employed or on your way up the corporate ladder.   For every moment of noise and distraction, you can’t think of how else you can allow more money to come to you, better people to run your place, awesome strategies for a smooth-running operation, creating and maintaining the morale among your employees, clients incentive to grow your business, marketing strategies to acquire more clients, seeing to it that Management continues to co-create with owners and employees, and the list goes on.  So you see, creating those moments of Silence to the Fifth Power, are imperative to the well-being of your business and the well-being of you, the individual who wants to live and have an awesome life while experiencing joy and passion to its fullest.

While Social Media is one amazing tool to market and promote your business, your products, services, and even make connections with family and friends, it can be a noisy place at times; and it’s up to you to take full advantage of it while focused on the purpose of its usage, or allow the noise to distract you, thus throwing you off the track of the very things you wish to attain.  When you speak in the Social Media spectrum, you want to be memorable, not just remembered and sometimes it is in “Silence” that your voice is heard loud and clear.

It may  be a good idea when it gets noisy out in the Social Media Sphere, to invite your friends and followers to join you for a moment of “Silence to the Fifth Power” so every one can be empowered by stopping the noise and enjoying the benefits of a well deserved “Silence”.  Being in that moment allows you formidable distinction to what really makes sense to you and those you want around you for a long, long time….and it’s good for your health, your business, your personal life and bottom line success!

To Your Success, Always!!!

To all the Moms I love

I just love the month of May, and it is my intention to honor all the Moms of the World today.

Also, May is a very Auspicious Month for finances, growth, revenues and profits. I want health, wealth and abundance to follow you wherever you go.

This is also the month when my Aunt Rosa turns 100 on the 8th and some of my closest friends celebrate birthdays during this month, including my sister Luz on the 29th. So you see, “celebration” is all around me.

My Aunt Rosa is having a grand old party in Miami and celebrating in typical style to include a Salsa band, and even Mariachis to serenade her. The woman is a hoot, and totally amazing with her wisdom that she so generously shares with the rest of us.

In addition, though my Mom passed away 9 years ago, her spirit and legacy lives in my heart so in her honor, I want to tell you a little story of my Mom’s courage and selfless, unconditional love for her children.

When we were ready to leave by what then had become Communist Cuba as a family, i.e., my Mom, my two little sisters and I, while in the waiting room of the airport (a.k.a. La Pescera or “Fish Bowl”) and at the very last minute as the flight is being called for boarding, my Mom gets grabbed by two militia officers demanding she’d make a decision, it’s either her or her children, and they announced News had come from higher ups, where they were ordered not to allow families to travel together anymore, so it was her or the children; and no answer was given whether there would be a possbility of another flight where she could follow. – My mother’s courage and unconditional love was monumental. To her the answer was obvious: “the children”, of course! –

Imagine the motherly love and courage that it took for my Mom to make that kind of a decision not knowing whether she’d ever see us again or not, but she knew in her heart that living under a communist regime would destroy the chances for her children to have a life of opportunity and grow up to be amazing adults.

It was four long months before we were reunited , and then as the saying goes, “the rest is history”!

So it is in honor of her selfless love and indisputable bravery that I share this story with you, and to you Mom, I love you! – Thanks for everything!!!!

To all of you, to all of the powerful nurturing women in this world and the amazing men that support us , our work continues and will perpetuate. Never to stop, and always to grow with that fabulous sense of pride that kicks it up a notch.

If you have a “Mom Story” to share, I’d love to hear it!  This is a great place to do just that.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I was recently asked that question by a colleague of mine, and without hesitation, the words just rolled out of my mouth.   

 

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to grow up to be a Doctor.  I remember my first “Play-Doctor” set my Mom gave me when I turned 6. 

 

My Dad on the other hand, was not too keen on the idea as he viewed little girls as nurses, never doctors.  (I know; kind of Cave-Man mentality!)

 

I’d be giving “Free Physicals” to the kids in the neighborhood, and a clean bill of health was had by all.  I also knew in order to do my best work while “examining” all these kids with the fake stethoscope, I needed to delegate smaller tasks to others, like take a number or make an appointment.  So telling others to help out and seeing to it that it got done, became second nature to me.

 

We had to leave our Homeland at an early age due to the Castro-Cuban Communist Regime, and once in the States, I worked very hard to support my family and two younger sisters as I went to school  to secure an education. 

 

Though I didn’t make it to Medical School, I learned the importance of possessing business acumen, and wound-up working in the medical field (big suprise, right?) and later became the proud owner of a very successful, Medical Dictation and Transcription computereized service in the tri-county area of South Florida, USA.  (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties)

 

I knew I was meant to “heal and spread the knowledge of my expertise” and that I do through my thriving personal development and strategic coaching business helping others achieve their ambitions, aspirations, and full potential to create businesses and lifestyles of their dreams!  Wealth is meant to serve your needs….and that’s what I help clients do, in TWO LANGUAGES!!! How cool is that! 


Life is calling me to do more personalized group and one-on-one coaching, and I want to make sure you know that so that I can be there for you when you need me.  These are extraordinary times we are all experiencing and now more than ever it is important  to have a coach or mentor by your side to guide you through your own life’s journey so that you can  fulfill your destiny.  I would love to be the one helping you through it.

 

 So now I ask you: “What do you want to be when You Grow-Up?

 

 You can share your story through  My Blog or you can send me a private message and we’ll keep it between us! – Either way, I’d love to hear from you.
