This past week, NAHREP launched the NAHREP 10 Certified Trainer Program. The goal is to certify 50 to 100 trainers who will deliver workshops to real estate agents, students, churches, and small business associations. For those of you who are not familiar with the NAHREP 10, you can read about them here. They are the principles that guide NAHREP’s members and were spawned by the goals of the Hispanic Wealth Project. Hispanics in this country have made great strides in terms of educational attainment, income and homeownership, but have been slow in growing our household wealth. This gap must be closed for the benefit of our entire country, but as individuals, wealth is a key ingredient to living a quality life. Wealth is not about the acquisition of material things, it represents freedom and the ability to live the life we were destined to live.

There are two types of people in the world: those who add stress and those who subtract stress. Simon Sinek says...if you must choose between loyalty and productivity, always go with loyalty.
Terms like “great, genius,” and “world-class” are overused, perhaps because they mean something different to everyone. Greatness is subjective. Some might say you must be great just to be employed in the film business or to play professional sports, but I don’t think Will Smith or LeBron James think that way. The concept of being great also requires context. You could be a great high school athlete but only an average college player.
The most valuable skill in today's economy is storytelling. O'Leary wasn't the first to say that. Ten years ago, I remember asking Bill Clinton what made him a great speaker, and he said he was a good speaker because he is a good storyteller. As our economy evolves, the ability to communicate will become even more valuable.
