Today was a phone call type of day. El Cargo Boss Hotline was blowing up. I felt like a Mobile call center. I spoke to at least 10 different people... Two conversations stuck out to me the most. First with RWS Express (My cousin). By the way, that's a secret to surviving long drives. Have plenty of valuable conversations on the phone. Next thing you know. BOOM you are 10 minutes from delivery and made a easy 500 macaroonis. RWS Express shared a funny story about how a guy he is mentoring is...

Did you know in the Bible, God says this command in different ways…. “DO NOT BE AFRAID” 365 times. Why? He knew we would struggle with FEAR. That’s one scripture for every day of the year. Powerful. Till this day, I can’t lie to you… There’s this deep feeling when you are waiting for loads but can’t seem to win one. It becomes a rabbit hole. Now I’m not going to make this Van payment, insurance payment, business expenses etc. Then it gets worse. Will I even feed my family? I suck as a man if...

I am getting more and more into my content bag. This generation is all about content. It’s not Social Media anymore. It’s Interest Media…. If you can’t grab attention, you are cooked. Only because I’m growing in the ability to sell and build relationships. Look at what I posted on Facebook…. lol I was like MOSES the way I divided the crowd. 45 likes. 53 sharks 🦈 biting each other in the comments. It was spicy 🌶️. People crying and complaining “It’s over saturated and low rates” Yet others...

In the Email titled “Steal 20 Years of Experience Here”(Read that if you have not already)…. lol I blew it and sent the email around 6pm instead of 9pm… Hope you can forgive me. People make mistakes. But I told you I would be back today for Round 2(Don’t get knocked out just yet).

It was Tuesday at 12pm Florida time but 9 am Arizona time. I am part of a group of 100,000 (95 % of them are complainers) Cargo Van Owner Operators on Facebook. There is a remnant. 5% are genuine and actually value building great relationships(not just making a quick buck). I saw a Seasoned Veteran making videos on the group that aligned with the direction that I am trying to take the business. El Cargo Boss(Me) loves building New Relationships…. This guy happened to be none other than “PAPA...
