This reminds me of the advice I’ve heard given by sports psychologists to picture success. Before you walk the diving board for that dive (that interview!) go through the motions in your mind and “land” it.

Your parents, and many others in the Cuban exile community, have proven that values are the most important thing we can bequeath our children. Most Cuban exiles arrived penniless in the U.S. but many soon found their way to financial success and positions of leadership. Although the government gave aid to newly-arrived Cuban families, it was temporary assistance repaid many times over in the taxes and new jobs created in Miami by the exiles. Thanks for reminding us that poverty is a state of mind, not an economic condition, Luis. Moreover, the entrepreneurial torch is being carried by many newcomers like you from all over the world to this great nation. Thanks for this post — and for your courage in expanding to Miami. It’s the spirit that keeps our economy thriving.

Luis:What a great story and wonderful insight into your inspiration! It sounds like your mother is “93 years young”! Clearly she raised her son and her family with similar vision and aspiration. Positive people focusing on the future can move mountains!Thanks for sharing!Wendy

I like it. “…entrepreneurs have a persistent opportunity orientation and think in terms of how things can be done instead of why things can’t be done.” Even if none of us have MBAs, we Cubans are entrepreneurs at heart.(Anheier, Helmut. “Nonprofit Organizations: Theory, Management, Policy.”)
