How to Raise Your Credit Score
3 MIN READ

In this video, I’m going to share with you the advice that I got from my immigration attorney when I was in the process of becoming a U.S. citizen. I will also give you some advice on how to boost your credit score and keep your credit score in good shape.

Before I jump into the credit score topic, if you are someone interested in migrating to the U.S. make sure you hire an experienced immigration attorney to deal with your situation. It will be one of the best investments that you make in your life. Remember, get a good immigration attorney to deal with your particular situation.

Now, to keep a good credit score make sure you:

– Pay your credit cards and loans on time
– Your used credit line vs your available credit line is under 30% utilization
– You have different types of lines of credit
– You don’t apply for new credit in short periods of time
– You have a good length of credit history

Check the status of your credit score at annualcreditreport.com. It’s FREE!

– Check your credit history
– Make sure that all your information is correct. A good credit report means a good credit score, if you haven’t brake any of the credit score rules that help you to have a good credit score.

One of my favorite credit cars is the AMEX Platinum, it offers great benefits. Check it out here http://refer.amex.us/TAYDEA0qXJ?xl=cp01​

Monitor your credit score- Open your account with the credit reporting companies:

Transunion.com
MyEquifax.com
Experian.com

Diversify your credit to give your credit score a boost:

– Open a secured line of credit – secured personal credit with a Credit Union.
– Become an Authorized User of someone with a good credit score.
– Ask for a Credit Line Increase to help you boost your credit score.
– Stop opening new lines of credit if you don’t need them.
– Get current and Pay Down Multiple Times. It looks good on your credit score.
– Don’t make sudden large buys, if you don’t need to.

Don’t do the following, they affect your credit score:

– Try to avoid collections
– If you get a credit card don’t close it
– Avoid introductory rates
– Don’t apply for a new credit line within 2 weeks after you got approved for one.
– Remember, 30% utilization per account in total. I said it before and I want to repeat it again.

Keep your credit score healthy:

– Separate business credit & personal credit.
– Open new accounts when appropriate
– Credit freeze if you don’t need to apply for new credit lines.
– Get Identity Theft Protection. It’s worth it!

Try to keep your credit score good, excellent is better!

Excellent credit score starts around 760+ points. Good luck!

    Grateful for the opportunity to walk the campus of @notredame. 

There’s something powerful about stepping into a place where tradition, discipline, and vision come together at a high level.

These moments matter. We’re not just touring universities…
We’re building vision.

#Grateful #NotreDame
    Our second tour of the week was a success. @iubloomington has a beautiful campus, and @iukelleyschool is one of the best in the country. We are grateful for the opportunity to tour the campus with my son as he searches for the perfect business program next year. #iubloomington #iukelleyschool
    Grateful for this moment.

Had the chance to tour the University of Michigan with my son as he explores where he wants to go after high school.

He’s chasing a future in business and, more importantly, a life where he can build something meaningful. Grateful for the time. Grateful for the journey. 

The future is his to build. Excited for what’s ahead. Go Blue!

    The tide pools of California remind me a lot of how business actually works.

From a distance, the ocean looks simple.

Waves come in.
Waves go out.
It feels predictable.

But when you walk down to the tide pools, everything changes.

Between the rocks you discover entire ecosystems—tiny worlds full of life that only appear when the tide pulls back.

That’s where the real discovery happens.

And it made me think about entrepreneurship.

Too many business owners only focus on the big waves:

• revenue growth
• big clients
• big launches
• big opportunities

But the real progress often happens in the tide pools.

The quiet places.

The moments when things slow down and you take the time to observe, learn, and adjust.

That’s where strategy lives.

In business, the “low tide” moments reveal things you don’t see when everything is moving fast:

• inefficiencies in your operations
• hidden opportunities in your market
• strengths inside your team
• new ideas waiting to be explored

If you only chase the waves, you miss the ecosystem.

But if you study the tide pools, you start seeing patterns.

And patterns are what help you reach your goals.

Sometimes progress in business isn’t about pushing harder.

Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to see what everyone else misses.

This morning in California’s tide pools was a reminder of that.

Nature has a way of teaching strategy if you’re paying attention. #business #strategy
    Some friendships aren’t built on constant texts, weekly lunches, or daily check-ins.

They’re built on depth.

There are people in your life you may not see for months — sometimes years. No constant interaction. No routine communication. But when you reconnect, the conversation immediately goes beyond surface level. It’s purposeful. It’s honest. It’s meaningful.

These are the friendships that don’t require maintenance through frequency — respect, shared values, and mutual growth sustain them.

When you connect, something moves forward.
An idea becomes clearer.
A decision feels stronger.
A new opportunity is born.
A perspective shifts.

There’s no small talk for the sake of filling silence. There’s alignment. There’s impact. There’s trust.

As we grow — in business, in leadership, in life — we begin to value depth over proximity. We realize that not every powerful relationship needs daily access. Some of the most valuable connections are the ones where time passes… but purpose remains.

If you have people like that in your life, don’t take them for granted. They’re rare.

And when the moment comes to reconnect — show up fully. Those conversations often shape your next chapter. #friendship #gratitude
    Happy New Year to me! This new lap around the sun it will be epic. Starting it doing something I love. 🙏🏻 #golf #golfing #golflife
    Most marketing agencies sell you dreams.

As a Fractional CMO, I sell uncomfortable truths.

And here’s one most business owners don’t want to hear:

Your marketing ROI isn’t broken.

Your expectations are misaligned with strategy, math, and market reality.

Let me explain.

• The owner wants 10x ROI
• The market realistically supports 3x
• The agency delivers 2.5x

That’s not failure.

That’s misalignment.

The issue usually isn’t the agency.

It’s the strategy, positioning, budget allocation, or timeline.

This is where I come in.

As a Fractional CMO, my role isn’t to “run ads.”

My role is to:

• Set realistic growth targets
• Align budget with market conditions
• Architect the right funnel and messaging
• Build or recruit the right agency for your stage
• Hold everyone accountable to performance

Here’s another truth:

Good agencies optimize.
Great agencies scale.
Elite agencies transform.

But none of them skip the foundation.

The first 90 days?

You’re paying for:

• Data collection
• Market validation
• Offer refinement
• Messaging clarity
• Funnel infrastructure

That’s not wasted time.

That’s strategic groundwork.

The next 90 days?

• Data compounds
• Messaging sharpens
• CAC stabilizes
• ROI becomes predictable

But most businesses quit before compounding begins.

They want:

• Instant wins
• Viral campaigns
• Overnight ROI

That’s not marketing.

That’s gambling.

Real ROI is built through:

• Clear positioning
• Multi-channel architecture
• Consistent execution
• Ruthless data analysis
• Strategic patience

Sometimes I help companies fix their internal marketing.
Sometimes I recruit and structure the right agency partnership.
Sometimes I tell them they’re not ready to scale yet.
Because my job isn’t to make you feel good.

My job is to make your marketing profitable.

Stop chasing magic bullets.

Start building compound systems.

That’s where real ROI lives.

And that’s what I’m hired to build. #fractionalCMO #marketingconsultant
    Most business owners don’t fail because of strategy. They fail because they choose the wrong role in the story.

Every business operates inside a narrative.

And in every narrative, you only get to play one of four roles:

The Victim.
The Villain.
The Hero.
Or The Guide.

Let me explain.

The Victim

The market is slow.
Clients don’t value quality.
Employees don’t want to work.
The algorithm changed.

Victims blame the weather.

But customers don’t follow victims.
They look for someone who has clarity and control.

The Villain

Villains manipulate.
They overpromise.
They blame the client.
They care more about revenue than results.

Villains may win in the short term.
But trust always collects its debt.

And in business, trust is your only real currency.

The Hero

This is where most business owners make a subtle mistake.

They position themselves as the hero of the story.

“I built this from nothing.”
“I outworked everyone.”
“I’m the best at what I do.”

But here’s the problem:

When you play the hero, your customer becomes the supporting character.

And no one wakes up wanting to play a supporting role in someone else’s movie.

The Guide

The guide has empathy.
The guide has authority.
The guide has a plan.

The guide says:

“I understand what you’re going through.”
“I’ve helped others like you.”
“Here’s the path forward.”

In every great story, the hero wins because of the guide.

Not because the guide needed attention.
But because the guide gave clarity.

As business owners, our job is not to be the hero.

Our job is to help our customers become the hero.

When you stop trying to win the spotlight
and start handing it to your client,
your messaging sharpens,
your marketing simplifies,
and your revenue grows.

Because clarity converts.

So the question isn’t whether you’re in a story.

You are.

The question is:

What role are you choosing to play?

As a marketing strategist, my goal has always been to find the strategy that helps my clients simplify their marketing, clarify their message, and increase revenue.

Clarity isn’t just good storytelling. It’s good business.

    Some of the hardest people to help are successful business owners who’ve hit a plateau.

Why? Because success has a sneaky side effect: ego.

When a business owner has figured a lot out on their own, it’s easy to believe, “I already know this.” So when new strategies are presented, they get minimized, dismissed, or labeled as “too basic.” Not because they don’t work—but because limited beliefs block innovation and execution.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to reinvent your business to grow it. You need to model what already works.

The fastest path to growth is borrowing proven frameworks from people who’ve already solved the problems you’re facing. That’s why books like How to Grow Your Small Business are so powerful. They remove the guesswork, simplify decisions, and give you a clear plan instead of more noise.

If you want to increase your revenue this year, start there.
And if you want help applying those ideas to your business—so they actually turn into results—reach out. I’d be glad to help. #businesscoach #smallbusiness #businessowner

    Motivation isn’t what you think.

It’s not some magical energy boost. 

It’s simply the byproduct of alignment. 

When what you want and what you do match up? 

That’s when magic happens.

Stop trying to force motivation. 

Start finding alignment.

That’s where the real power is.

    Gratitude gives your commitment meaning.

When you’re truly grateful for where you are,
You show up differently for where you’re going.

Commitment without gratitude feels heavy.
Gratitude without commitment lacks direction.

But together, they create unstoppable momentum.

The last day of the 2025 @coachbuilder Summit was both tactical and motivational — a reminder that clarity fuels purpose. We made it clear what our commitment is:
to keep our purpose-driven mission moving forward,
to lead with intention, and to help more people grow through what we’ve learned.

Grateful for the journey, the lessons, and the vision that keeps expanding. Thank you @donaldmiller, @laurahiggins, and @johnoleary.inspires for everything you taught us 🙏.

    Day 1 & 2 at the 2025 Coach Builder Summit! @coachbuilder I’m grateful for the opportunity to keep learning from one of the best business coaches in the country, @donaldmiller, and his excellent network of experts. 

There’s no better investment than the one you make in yourself. Personal development isn’t a cost—it’s a catalyst: every new skill, mindset shift, and connection you build compounds into something powerful.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you, challenge you, and share your belief in growth. Because when great minds connect, transformation happens.

    The wealth gap isn’t just a number. 

It’s a prison sentence. 

But here’s what nobody tells you: 

Money isn’t about numbers. 

It’s about options. 

• The option to leave 
• The option to choose 
• The option to say no 
• The option to start over 

Want real freedom? 

Start here: 

1. Automate your savings 
2. Learn to invest 
3. Build multiple incomes 
4. Network intentionally 
5. Help others rise 

Don’t let anyone tell you: 

• You’re too late
• You’re not qualified 
• You’re not connected 

Wealth is built. 

Brick by brick. 
Day by day. 
Decision by decision. 

Start building yours. 

Your future self is watching. Through the “Your Future Finances” program, we are helping people manage their finances more effectively. #wealth #money #savings #yourfuturefinances
    Silence doesn’t mean absence of power, it means presence of purpose. Silent leaders move with unstoppable force. 🙏🏻 #leadership #purpose
