If you have ever experienced major adversity in your life then you can probably relate to what it’s like to overcome challenges and struggles.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
These days, my heart melts in humble gratitude for the gifts I have today.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To watch my son grow up and become a great young man.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To manage and have the opportunity to work with a team of some of the highest intellectuals in the world and help create value in 19 different countries around the world.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To work to take care of the ones that always stood by my side during my deepest darkest times.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To serve others and create value for the world in ways I only dreamed of doing.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Things were not always like this. In summary, I know what it\u2019s like to have gone to hell and back.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To go to the top, to the bottom, and then rise again.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
There is something very different when going through it the second time around. The mistakes and wrong decisions I have made impacted me to the point where not only did I learn from them but it made me much stronger and a better version of myself.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I wish you all the best in your journey to overcome adversity.<\/div>\n

As I reflect back to the year of 2007 it’s a previous chapter in life. I’m dressed in everyday casual clothing as I walk into the building. Its a beautiful company with about 3,750 sqft of office space, a huge sign with 6 foot letters on the building, 15+ offices, a large conference room, and management department. I haven’t been to this office in several months but the people that work here are amazing individuals that I think about often.<\/p>\n

I rarely visit this town as much, however, I like to check on things from time to time. There is a whole new entrepreneur mindset required when you are growing a business and the people you hire begin hiring people that you haven’t met yet. I walk up to the front desk.<\/p>\n

“Can I help you?” the receptionist ask.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me: I give her a big smile \ud83d\ude42 “Yes, you can start by telling me how you like working here.”<\/p>\n

She then quickly realizes who I am.<\/p>\n

Her: Oh, your Mr Quinones! I am so sorry.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Me: “Don’t apologize”  “If anything, I should be apologizing to you for not coming around more.”<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This is my story.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This chapter of having an eccentric life came at a very young age for me in my mid 20’s. Agent count 35, Approx 15-20 Employees, contractors, etc, 3 Office franchises.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\n

The challenge to manage 50 people, mentor, lead and innovate a company requiring the team work of others.<\/p>\n

The challenge to stay in business for 15 years and within one year lose everything and be required to completely start over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The challenge of getting involved with the wrong business partner.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This is how I rebuilt and started over.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\n

This is my story of success, failure, and success.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\nWhat qualifies someone to write about what it takes to overcome adversity exactly? The person needs to have experienced extreme failure and success. I am not talking about a failure of not getting into a college or not succeeding in a business venture. I am talking about the magnitude of going through peaks and valleys in which someone loses everything they have and goes through the deepest and darkest places of struggle one can imagine. The reality is technically there is no such thing as failures because we all learn from our experiences.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
 <\/div>\n

Every knock down in life is an outcome of your efforts:<\/strong> <\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Perseverance over time ends in success. If someone never experienced peaks and valleys and releases motivational material on this topic then how do you know the content has validity. It is similar to asking somebody about their experience of a car wreck or losing someone they love and they have never experienced this for themselves.<\/p>\n

True grit sometimes requires a knock down. In order for me to write about my experiences and what I have learned was not only valuable for myself, it is valuable for the world. This is my story of the mistakes I made, lessons I learned, failures, success, and how I had to start over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
