Jimmy learned some
tough lessons early in his life. As a Hispanic he was reared in a
predominately-segregated community. Except for his parents, he always had the
feeling that no one cared. The system certainly didn't challenge Jimmy to be
expressive and think about setting goals. He experienced, instead, bitter
rejection and prejudice from a society that labeled him "different." Eventually
he realized that though you cannot forget the past and the pain, you can
forgive, learn from, stand firm, and move on. Handling, overcoming the damaged
emotions, and rejecting rejection Jimmy learned how to turn the negatives he
experienced into POSITIVE learning experiences.There Is Life After High School
Jimmy's first
motivational talk was a flop. This was when others told him, "You will not make
it in sales or ever become successful." Something turned and tightened within
him, and he decided that he would make it; he discovered that he was a
self-starter. He remembers that day so well; it was a hot day in July, 1974,
alone and full of fear. But, a commitment was made that day, and he moved
forward to experience the taste of success. His first motivational talk turned
out to be more POSITIVE than negative.Success Comes Through Discipline
Jimmy's friend, George Roach, encouraged him to read books to gain
knowledge about sales, persuasion, negotiation, self-empowerment, business
trends, etc. At first Jimmy was not receptive; up to that point in his life,
reading was not a priority, not even a pastime. What jolted Jimmy into picking
up a book was something George said to him, "Jimmy, if you elect not to
read, you are as bad off as someone who cannot read at all." So, at the age
of 28, Jimmy read his first book cover to cover, word for word. What an
experience. For the first time in his life the words he read came alive. He
realized at that very moment that nothing was impossible; he discovered that
there is life after high school. He started to attend various seminars and
workshops on communication and persuasion skills. Jimmy learned to take the
phrase, "Knowledge Is Power," to the next level, which is, "Applied Knowledge Is Power." A lesson he learned, and is now
passing on to all his audiences is "Success is not an Art... Success is a
Discipline."A Mission Bigger than Jimmy
Then came January, 1983, when Jimmy decided to respond to his
calling. Becoming a professional speaker became bigger than a choice. It became
a desire, a passion, and a commitment to help make a difference in the lives of
people. The person that encouraged him and is his biggest supporter is his
loving wife, Laural. By establishing and keeping his priorities in
order - God, Family, & Career - Jimmy has become inspired to help
others and develop their potential to be successful.Besides his
knowledge in communication skills, self-development, and self-disciplines,
Jimmy has the unique ability to counsel and guide youth, as well as adults, in
the quest for professional and personal goals. His clients are assured success
because Jimmy cares and makes certain that they use their utmost hidden
talents.There Is Life After Each Adversity And Challenge
Today, if you were to ask Jimmy, "Is there life after
high school?" you know he would answer, "Not only is there life after high
school, there is life after each adversity and challenge that we may
experience. Always remember - "It is always too soon to quit!"Through dedication,
commitment, and the application of self discipline skills, Jimmy has learned to
deal with adversity. By helping others, Jimmy realized he was helping himself.
Yes, it becomes a "win/win" situation for everyone involved.Jimmy will never
forget who helped him - His Parents, his wife, Laural, and his friend, George
Roach. He knows that one real way to adequately thank them is to continue
making a difference in this country and in the lives of others. For every
person with whom he comes in contact, he must try to be the best teacher,
server, helper, and friend he can be. As Zig Ziglar once said, "See you at
the top." |
