“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 👍🏻
#success
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! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻
#happy4th #happy4thofjuly #independenceday #happyindependenceday
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!
#doubt #business #mindset
In 12 months, you’ll wish you started today.
Or In 12 months, you’ll be glad you did.
Only one of those feels good. You choose which.

A Powerful Return to Community and Connection @exatec.tjsd
Last night, the EXATEC Tijuana–San Diego Association hosted its first post-COVID networking event—and it was long overdue!
A heartfelt thank you to the 100 EXATECs who registered and an extra special thanks to the 82 who showed up to make the evening unforgettable. Your presence and energy are what make this community so special.
The event was a true success thanks to the incredible hospitality of @casasur_hacienda in Chula Vista, the delicious catering by @decabeza_el_unico Tacos, and the unique cacao-tasting experience provided by @xocolatlhouse.
Our local EXATEC community is made up of professionals who work at some of the most influential companies in the San Diego–Tijuana region and entrepreneurs leading thriving businesses in industries such as:
- Aviation & Aerospace
- Engineering Services
- Financial Services
- Transportation & Logistics
- Technology & IT Consulting
- Manufacturing
- Real Estate—and more.
Each EXATEC holds a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. from Tecnológico de Monterrey, one of the most prestigious universities in Latin America.
As a new executive board member, I’m committed to strengthening our network of over 4,000 EXATECs in the region. One of our top priorities is reconnecting and growing this vibrant community over the next few years.
Stay tuned for future events, and if you’re interested in becoming an “Amigo TEC,” send me a message! We’d love to share upcoming opportunities to connect, collaborate, and support the EXATEC mission in our region.

Next time you’re in downtown Houston, take a moment to look up and around. Each mural has a story to tell. The “Big Art. Bigger Change” initiative is awesome. Congrats @houston! Great job.

Most people hope to leave something behind.
But hope isn’t a strategy.
Legacy doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design.
Start building your legacy—one decision at a time.
Thank you, @lionsgaterealty, @bettercallnate, @realpresidente, for the special invitation to your pod. I enjoyed our conversation. Keep doing the great work you are doing in the Houston metropolitan area.

Let’s Open the Door to a Life-Changing Opportunity
As the new President of the EXATEC Tijuana–San Diego Association, I’m asking you to join something bigger than all of us.
We’ve launched an ambitious yet deeply personal mission: raise $275,000 to establish a perpetual scholarship fund. This fund will comprehensively cover the education of high-potential students from our region and beyond so they can attend Tecnológico de Monterrey—one of the most respected universities in Latin America.
Link in BIO: https://tec.rs/EXATECTijuana-SanDiego-LDM-US
Why does this matter?
Because someone’s future is waiting, there’s a young person with the talent, drive, and heart to lead—but without the resources to get there. Together, we can change that.
This isn’t just about a scholarship. It’s about breaking cycles, uplifting families, and building the kind of future we all want to see. It’s about what happens when a community of leaders decides to pay it forward.
Here’s how you can help:
Every dollar you give is an investment in human potential. The best part? Your donation is tax-deductible. That means you can make a meaningful impact and receive a financial benefit, too.
Your generosity will directly fund education that empowers one student and every life they’ll touch in the years to come.
Let’s make history together. Let’s become the alumni network known not just for where we studied—but for who we lifted along the way.
Donate today. Create a legacy. Transform a life. #exatec #tecdemonterrey #exatectjsd #education #educationfund #scholarship #itesm
What @kendricklamar’s Epic Concert Taught Me About Business Strategy
Kendrick Lamar didn’t just win the rap battle—he won the attention war. And last night, I saw it firsthand.
I took my family to his concert—and it was flawless.
From @sza to @justinbieber showing up as surprise guest, to the lighting, transitions, sound, timing—every detail was dialed in. Here’s what hit me:
This wasn’t just a concert. It was a masterclass in systems, execution, and brand power.
Kendrick’s recent beef with Drake may have grabbed headlines, but what sustained the momentum was something far more strategic:
A well-run operation behind the curtain.
As business owners, we can learn a lot from this:
1. Be Clear About Who You Are
Kendrick didn’t try to appeal to everyone. He made a bold statement and stuck with it.
2. Challenge the Norm
He called out the industry, made people uncomfortable—and gained global attention.
Don’t be afraid to say what others won’t. It builds trust with the right customers.
3. Build a Scalable System
That concert? It wasn’t “vibes”—it was process.
Processes create freedom. When your operations run smoothly, you can focus on impact.
4. Create Moments, Not Just Marketing
Kendrick’s team turned a concert into an experience people will never forget.
How can you turn a sale, an email, or a service into something memorable?
5. Stack Momentum
He didn’t stop after one diss track. He kept going—with strategy, story, and precision.
In business, consistency wins. Stay present. Keep publishing. Keep showing up. Bottom line:
Great marketing may get you noticed—but great systems keep you relevant.
Witnessing Kendrick’s performance with my family reminded me that when art meets structure, the results are unforgettable.
Make your business unforgettable.

A heartfelt thank you to all the incredible volunteers of the Rady Children’s Poway Unit @rcha_poway for hosting such a beautiful and impactful gala in support of Rady Children’s Hospital.
Your dedication, compassion, and countless hours of hard work are making a real difference for the children and families who need it most. From the elegant details to the powerful mission behind it all, your efforts were inspiring.
The Poway Unit continues to be a shining example of community, service, and love — from gathering essentials for emergency families to preparing meals with care and kindness.
Thank you for turning your time and talents into hope and healing.

Huge thanks to @samueladamsbeer and The Boston Beer Company for shipping this special delivery of the limited-edition Derrick White Ale all the way to San Diego! As a die-hard @celtics fan and a true beer aficionado, I couldn’t be more excited to crack one open.
This witbier with coriander, orange peel, rose hips, and tamarind is a tribute to bold flavor—and to one of the boldest athletes in the game, @dwhite921.
Cheers to the best basketball team in the world, the Celtics, and to one of the best beer brands in America. Let’s raise a glass to greatness—on the court and in the brewery!

Look:
In this grand game of life, we’re all stumbling forward in the dark.
Sometimes we trip on a rock.
Sometimes we fall into a pothole.
But here’s the magic:
Every time you pick yourself up, you’re a bit further along.
Every misstep is a lesson.
Every failure is a teacher.
Imagine if you viewed each stumble as a victory dance.
A dance that says, “I dared greatly. I lived fully. I learned massively.”
So let’s embrace the journey, rocks and potholes included.
Because the destination is just a mirage; the real treasure is the dance itself.
P.S. What “victory dance” did you do recently? #InspirationDaily

Success hits a moving target — and that’s the point.
You’re not meant to stay where you are.
Dream bigger. Move faster.
Stretch beyond what you thought was possible.
Every step forward brings you closer to the life you deserve.
Keep moving. Success is chasing you.

Time is your most valuable business asset.
Not money. Not followers. Not connections.
Time.
And it’s non-renewable.
Think of every hour as a $100 bill.
Would you still “spend” it the same way?
Would you give it away to distractions?
Or would you invest it in growth, strategy, and results?
You don’t need more time.
You need to treat your time like it’s capital.
The ROI is in how you use it.
Make the next hour count.

Tonight, I had the honor of attending the Peacemaker Awards, hosted by the National Conflict Resolution Center (@ncrconline) -an organization that understands one truth:
When people communicate well, communities thrive.
Conflict is inevitable at home, at work, in schools, and across neighborhoods. But when we use the right tools and conversations to uncover common ground, something incredible happens: People come together, problems get solved, and peace becomes possible.
That’s what NCRC is all about—training people to turn tension into trust and division into connection.
I’m especially grateful to the San Diego Foundation @sandiegofoundation and Board Member Rafael Castellanos @rafaelcastellanossd for inviting me to this important evening. Your leadership helps build bridges where others see walls.
Let’s keep working to create a world where more conversations end in understanding.

1️⃣ Lead with Humility. Your team, your clients, your market—none of them owe you anything. Stay grounded. Gratitude keeps your ego in check and your culture strong.
2️⃣ Build on Character. No cutting corners. No excuses. Integrity becomes your brand. Take the high road—it attracts better clients, better partners, and long-term success.
3️⃣ Double Down on Discipline. Scaling isn’t about hustle—it’s about consistency. Routines, systems, and habits compound. That’s where real freedom and profit live.
🚫 Real talk: There are no reliable “shortcuts.” But these 3? They’re your unfair advantage.
💬 Which one are you mastering right now in your scaling journey?
