Can you imagine living with your family, a couple small children, your spouse, and a hurricane

has just completely devastated the island you live on.

Yes, you live on an island and virtually everyone around you has lost virtually everything.

But yet somehow you manage to maintain your online business without electricity

for months. That's the story you're getting ready to hear today on silent sales machine radio.

This is your host, Jim, and I just finished an interview with a guy named Bernardo. He's from

our community. He's his wife, Floutia, and their two young

children live in Puerto Rico. And if you remember, less than a year ago, as we're doing this

interview today, the island of Puerto Rico was hit by a devastating hurricane. And for months,

still, to this day, some people don't have full utilities back, but for several months,

Bernardo and his wife, Floutia, they didn't have any electricity. Even finding water was difficult.

Clean drinking water, water to do the dishes, to be able to flush the toilets. I mean, those were

the day-to-day struggles that they had. Yet they were coaching students in our

coaching program. Yes, they do this business together. And yes, they continued to have an income because

of this business. It's an incredible story. There's a really crazy struggle. And I could relate.

My family has been through quite a struggle this last year as well.

Nothing nearly as frightening. There was only a short period of time for my family and I where we

actually had some fear for our safety. This family went through that for months. That was their daily

reality. And they kept it all together and they built an incredible business.

Like I said, Bernardo is in our coaching program, Jim Cockrumcoaching.com, if you

want some information about that. And here's a cool thing, too, about this podcast episode that

you're about to hear today is I didn't tell Bernardo when I started recording.
