At a very young age my father taught me that there was a time for every kind of talk and then there was a time for action. When you open your mouth make sure it’s “investing” time and not just spending time.
My father, who was a Viet-Nam Veteran (THANKS DAD), would say “Time to talk is never when the bullets are flying!”
Jibber-jabber can always wait for down time or R&R. Correctly set priorities will establish the proper time for both work and play. The challenge that I’ve found in business is that these specific times are not designated. I have to create that balance myself.
Since the age of twelve when I went into my first business as a Martial Arts Instructor I had to establish very strict ground rules for my schedule. Still in school and working didn’t leave much time for anything else but by creating a priority calendar. I always knew when it was time for action.
This rule or code has carried me through times when temptation has had its warfare with labors of distractions. Thankfully this discipline kept me on the straight and narrow so that success has been achievable.
For well over a decade now in business, I have had many times, where people had the intentions of wasting my time, spending my time, using my time or just flat out inhabiting my time with ill intentions. This is typically the time when bad jokes are told, gossip is spread or people are put down.
Never have I heard proper use of ones time creating pain for any party involved.
My intentions, with this article, are to create an understanding. All of the conversations in or out of the work atmosphere can be constructive.
Constructive talk is necessary at all times but now in the down portion of our country and local economy it is essential. All jokes aside, lets get the strength back into America and in the towns we live.
Support is essential!

Ability of Youth
Grounded Youth
By: Timothy Lucero
Acceptance of talent is only a small portion of development but it is the first thing to maturity. Many people misunderstand the true improvement of wisdom, growth or maturity.
The world teaches us to conform while success teaches us to be creative.
I feel that within every strand of human DNA lies a courageous talent that waits to be unlocked. Countless individuals delay success for a proper time and lining up of the stars. This ideology has been formed by losers and unsuccessful people.
To endure adversity we have to face life’s struggles within our capabilities. A warrior never faces a battle with an expectation of winning without preparing for war and training with his best assets.
To succeed, within life’s battle, you have to first decide what your talents are and then hone them.
In my life I was never the chosen victor but I never failed to prepare. This gave me a land sliding advantage over the competition.
People ask me “What do you attribute most to peoples success?”
My answer never changes “Realizing your talents and having the will to see it through.”
Bill Gates was never the coolest but now he’s the richest, Thomas Edison was never the most educated but he allowed his mind to invent and allowed history to be made, and I was the very quiet but I found my voice.
The true sign of rebellion is being willing to step out of the cliché and get into your niche.
Every one remembers mass movement of change and independent choice of development but it had to start with personal acknowledgement.
It’s alright to be weird and out of the box but make the choice to have purpose with your independence. Choose to create beauty with your talent and success with your heart.

Lions, Tigers and Bankruptcies
Our local economy has degraded and this has initiated a frenzy filled panic. To overcome our current status, fear must be deleted from the book of choices and a new sense of courage must bellow within our spirits.
In this time of despair we have two choices:
1. We can decide to run and hide.
2. We can decide to have fearless and complete loyalty to our success.
If you feel that you are number 1 please stop reading now!
As for the strong and persistent number 2’s, it is time for the ultimate drive and initiative. No longer will time allow us to sit back and wait.
“Success is on the other side of fear!” quoted by fourteen year old millionaire Farrah Gray.
Creativity must be pushed into overdrive, effort on every side of business must be tireless and passion will be required to stand at full strength. These three characteristics are not up for negotiation!
Passion must flow out of every pore of your body. This will create a wave and depending on the size of your passion it can create a movement of business altering growth that you have not experienced yet.
The next key component is effort, which may be the most important independent success weapon in your arsenal. Providing personal effort to your business will give necessary improvement for prosperity. The ideology behind effort is that YOU are the most important functioning portion of your business. Product, business plan and location are all secondary issues when compared to the strength of your own personal effort. Many people begin to play the finger pointing game and never begin to spend the most important time (effort) on their growth. This can not be tolerated within a successful business.
Third and most critical within our economical downturn is creativity. Our back is against the wall and we must fight our way to financial gain! We will achieve the largest profit gain by getting out of the box. This key component is not only essential but it stands as the oxygen and life line of business.
These three tools if implemented into your business will blast you on an upward path of success within an economical downturn.
Remember YOU are the most important part of your success.
