Hispanic 100 Gala #gala #hispanic100

Twelve years ago, I walked into my first @theushcc National Conference not knowing the impact it would have on my journey. I thought I was attending another event. What I found was a community.

Over the years, this conference has become more than a date on my calendar. It has been a place where ideas turn into opportunities, where strangers become friends, and where friendships turn into partnerships that drive real impact.

Every conversation, every workshop, every handshake has added a layer of growth to my life and business. The knowledge I’ve gained from leaders across the country has sharpened my perspective, and the connections I’ve made have opened doors I never imagined possible.

I’m deeply grateful for the USHCC and the role it has played in uniting and empowering Hispanic business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs. This community continues to inspire me and reminds me why we do what we do — to build businesses that strengthen families, create jobs, and energize the American economy.

Here’s to 12 years of learning, growing, and connecting — and to the many more ahead.

Special thanks to @delta for flying me to Atlanta, @hyatt for its hospitality, and @uber and @lyft for driving me around town.

It was great meeting Lawrence Cunningham today. Thank you @alexmv_tgr and @morgan.stanley for the invitation. Cunningham’s two dozen books include The Essays of Warren Buffett, which Cunningham self-published into an international best-seller that he has arranged for translation into a dozen languages.

An influential thought leader in both value investing and corporate governance, Cunningham’s other notable books include Quality Investing (long time best seller with AKO Capital), The AIG Story (with Hank Greenberg) and Margin of Trust (which Warren Buffett singled out for special mention in his 2020 letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders).

Cunningham ​advises companies, boards and shareholders, for many years as the founder of Quality Shareholders Group and as special counsel at Mayer Brown LLP. He has served on numerous corporate boards, of both private and public companies, including Markel Group (New York Stock Exchange) and Constellation Software Inc. (Toronto Stock Exchange).

Cunningham is the Director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. He is a Trustee of the Museum of American Finance and a member of the Editorial Board of its flagship publication, Financial History. #businessleader #author

Revenue ≠ Wealth

Your P&L might look great… But is your balance sheet actually building wealth?

Too many business owners brag about revenue or profit margins but never track their net worth. The truth is, a profitable business today doesn’t guarantee financial security tomorrow.

The real measure of success isn’t just profit—it’s assets that grow whether you’re working or not.

Don’t just chase income. Build wealth that lasts.

Think beyond profit. Think prosperity for generations.

✅ Earn it
✅ Build it
✅ Grow it

Loyalty is like a bank account:

Every good interaction = deposit
Every broken promise = withdrawal

The balance matters more than the transactions.

Building loyalty is slow work.

It’s a choice people make every single day.

And here’s the thing nobody tells you:

TRUE LOYALTY costs zero dollars.
But it’s the most expensive thing to lose.

Think about it. #loyalty

Why wealth disappears in one generation. #wealth #family #business #generationalwealth

Avoid Treating Your Business as Your Retirement Plan. Here is why… #smallbusiness #business

For more than fifteen years, I’ve walked alongside small business owners—listening to their challenges, celebrating their wins, and guiding them through some of their life’s most important business decisions.

One of the biggest misconceptions I’ve seen repeatedly is that Most business owners believe estate planning is only for the wealthy.

That belief has cost too many families peace of mind and, in some cases, their financial security.

Here’s the reality: if you don’t create a plan, the government will make one for you. And when that happens, strangers—not you—decide what happens to your business, assets, and your family’s future.

But when you’re intentional about planning, everything changes.

- You stay in control.
- You decide who benefits from your life’s work.
- You turn today’s profits into tomorrow’s legacy.

Whether your estate is worth $50,000 or $5 million+, what matters is protecting your family from chaos and ensuring your legacy outlives you.

Now more than ever, it’s time for business owners to take the proper steps—not just to grow profit but to build lasting generational wealth.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Be intentional. Protect your family. Build your legacy.

Thank you, @nbcla and @telemundo52, for the VIP invitation to the 2026 Game ON event. It’s exciting to see what’s coming to the market with the @FIFA World Cup, the @NBA All-Star Game, the NFL Super Bowl, and the Winter Olympics. Advertisers will get a great ROI. 👍🏻 #smallbusiness #losangeles #business

Most small business owners work hard. Some even build successful companies.

But here’s the truth: very few actually build wealth that outlives them.

Why?

Because they’re focused on making money today… not on transforming profits into long-term assets.

- Cash flow keeps your business alive.
- Assets build generational wealth.

If you want your family to thrive long after you’re gone, you can’t just chase revenue. You need to turn profits into investments that compound over time—real estate, equities, businesses that run without you.

Don’t just grow sales.
Don’t just build a business.
Build a legacy.

What are you doing today to turn your profits into generational wealth? #wealth #smallbusiness #assets #generationalwealth #legacy

Thank you @walmart for hosting a great conference in #SanDiego. Lots of valuable resources for e-commerce businesses. #ecommerce #walmartmarketplace

We are incredibly grateful to the British Consulate-General in Los Angeles @ukinla for their warm hospitality during the British Citizenship Ceremony.

It was a beautiful and meaningful event that marked a major milestone for our family. My wife is honored and proud to officially become a British citizen — a moment filled with gratitude and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Thank you to everyone at the Consulate for making the day so special. This is a chapter we’ll never forget!

Here’s to new beginnings, brighter futures, and being part of something truly great. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 #ukinla #british #uk #uk🇬🇧 #britishamerican

“Success only hits a moving target.” - @ramonwow #ramonwow

Success loves movement.

While others are:

• Waiting for perfect timing
• Planning the perfect strategy
• Worrying about perfect execution

You’re actually:

• Learning by doing
• Adjusting in real-time
• Getting closer with each step

Think about it:

• Dead fish go with the flow
• Live ones swim upstream

So don’t wait for motivation.

Let momentum be your strategy.

Because here’s the brutal truth:

Success doesn’t care about your plans.

It cares about your progress.

Now make your next move towards your goals.

Colorado here we come 👍🏻

Most people get this completely backwards.

They’ll tell you:

“It’s never been harder to succeed in America.”

But look around.

You’ve got:

- Instant access to 330M potential customers
- Zero barriers to starting a business
- Unlimited free knowledge online

Want proof?

- 20-year-olds making millions on social media
- Stay-at-home parents building Shopify empires - People charging $5K for advice online

The playing field’s never been this level.

You don’t need:

❌ A fancy degree
❌ Rich parents
❌ Venture capital

Just look at the data:

2025: 33M small businesses in the US
2010: 26M
1990: 15M

That’s not recession.

That’s opportunity.

And guess what?

You don’t need permission:

- Start a side hustle today
- Charge for what you know
- Build your audience

Stop waiting for perfect.

Start building imperfectly now.

You’ll thank yourself in 2025 and beyond.

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻

Your biggest breakthroughs? Never planned.

Always random.

Think about it:

- That business idea? On a plane
- That solution? Working out
- That insight? Cooking dinner
- That 6-fig deal? Playing golf

It’s like success lives in the cracks of your schedule.

Not when you’re forcing it.

Not when you’re pushing.

Not when you’re trying too hard.

But when you let go.

When you relax.

When you trust the process.

So maybe instead of grinding 24/7, try doing nothing on purpose sometimes.

That’s where the magic hides.

We doubt ourselves
We second-guess ourselves
We play small because we think small

Meanwhile...

The loudest people are winning.
The mediocre are thriving.
The unqualified are teaching.
The selfish business leaders are leading.

Not because they’re better.

But because they’re bolder.

So let’s flip the script:

Instead of “Who am I to do this?” Ask “Who am I NOT to?”

Instead of “What if I fail?”

Ask “What if I succeed?”

Instead of “I don’t know enough”

Remember, nobody starts knowing everything.

P.S. DOUBT KILLS MORE DREAMS THAN FAILURE EVER WILL.

Let that sink in.

Have a nice weekend!
