Give It All That You Have, And You Will Be Rewarded

As an immigrant child, I remember seeing my parents working long hours and striving for the American dream. They sacrificed so much to give me and my siblings opportunities that we never would have had in MΓ©xico. They would say, “In this country, give it all that you have, and you will be rewarded.” Later in life, I discovered that it also meant that you need to be creative and engage with the world around you in order to find success. For example, once I started advocating for myself, higher levels of recognition and success followed.

The world is constantly changing, and what worked in the past may not work now. To be successful you need to have an adaptable attitude that’s willing try new things – so rather than keeping your head down to be recognized, look up more often!

As President & CEO of the Employees Club of California, I lead a highly dedicated and talented team who work vigorously to celebrate the lives and work of city, county and state government employees by honoring, recognizing, thanking, and expressing gratitude for serving their American communities. From a Mexican immigrant to an American CEO, I learned the power of overcoming struggle, and I want to share that with you in the hopes that the lessons I learned from my journey can help you find your inner strength, personal growth, and your definition of success.
