It is imperative that you keep the main thing (your purpose) the main thing. What is your main thing

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

My Philosophy:1. Love God and obey His commandments.2. Love people unconditionally. Hate and avoid behaviors that conflict with God's commandments. Only discipline behaviors that you've been given a responsibility to discipline, but always, sincerely love people unconditionally.3. Know your purpose, be unwavering in that purpose and accept the acceptance of God regardless of how many times you fail or succeed. Remain humble because God opposes the proud.4. Have fun while exercising self-control. Never be selfish. Beware of crooked people, but look for ways that you can be generous to mankind.5. Dream big and do the things that will bring you positive results. The only thing that you have control over in your life are the choices you make and the actions you take. Don't curse your crisis. When life presses in on you, don't build a complaint list. Allow God to build your character and integrity.6. Watch what and who you study. What you learn and who you learn from will govern what is manifested in your life.7. The field where you sow your seed (do your work) will be only one of the fields where you reap your harvest. Research many fields, but only sow (work) in the fields that align with your purpose. Unique experiences and opportunities yield unique rewards.8. Watch your words. Words are seed and they WILL bring you a harvest.9. Move from renting a negative life to owning a positive lifestyle. Then, help other people succeed by modeling and teaching the principles that led to your success.10. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Treat people fairly. You have the right to hold the people that are the closest to you accountable for occupying the level of intimacy you've bestowed upon them.Favorite Quotes: "The tragedy of a man is not that he dies. The tragedy of a man is what dies inside of him while he lives.", “Don’t complain about what you’re not willing to change.”Favorite Scriptures: Deuteronomy 23:5, Proverbs 21:5, Galatians 2:20Bottom line...I'm just another God-fearing servant-leader who understands that no matter how many times I blow it that the Lord will restore me (if I let Him). Don't get it twisted though. Never should we use the grace of God as a license to sin. The grace of God should help us establish the kind of gratitude that causes us to mature in the areas where we've previously missed the mark! I am not great because I always win. I am great because I've learned how to consistently overcome my failures... Tonex

My Interests

In addition to mentoring consultants within my own company (LAMP Consulting Group), functioning in the role of Marketing Consultant for our local FOX TV station here in San Angelo, Texas, working with the Sterilization and Packaging Business Unit at Ethicon, Inc. (a Johnson & Johnson company), I am connecting with business professionals and entrepreneurs who are mutually interested in and committed to empowering each other and their communities through strategic partnerships and experiential exchange. In case you're wondering...I use the name Coach because it's the role that I desire in the business arena. I've held management roles with a few well known companies and I've come to the conclusion that NOBODY wants a BOSS. EVERBODY needs a COACH!

I'd like to meet:

You, if you love God, music, the arts, good food, education and helping other people succeed. My wife and I sing tenor and alto so we'd love to get an "ALL ACCESS PASS" to any concert of Kirk's, Israel's, Martha's, or Fred's and sing BGV (that's background vocals for those of you who have not heard the term) so if you have a connection, HOOK US UP...we can cover our travel, room and board...LOL!

Music:

I was born and raised in Queens, New York and I have roots in the Bahamas (dad) and North Carolina (mom) so I'm really not particular as to the genre of music that I listen to. I just love quality music. Here are some examples: Kirk Franklin - My Life, My Love, My All

Israel & New Breed Martha Munizzi Fred HammondToni Braxton - Just Be A Man About It

Luther Vandross - A House Is Not A Home

Movies:

I will update these periodically: A Lot Like Love, Boomerang, Coach Carter, Guess Who, Hitch, Matrix, Madea's Family Reunion, MI3, Mo' Better Blues, One Night With The King, Star Wars (all episodes), The Bourne Supremacy, The Graduate, The Shawshank Redemption, The Negotiator, X-Men (The Last Stand), and Space Jam...you gotta give my man MJ props for doing something for the kidos. My kids loved this one and I enjoyed the Hip Hop collabo...I'll hit 'em high, hit 'em high, hit 'em high, if you hit 'em low, hit 'em low, hit 'em low... Hit 'Em High from Space Jam

Television:

TBN, Deal or No Deal, 24, The Cosby Show, Avatar (me and my son watch this together)

Books:

There are too many to name, but I read a lot of John Maxwell and Myles Munroe. I use the Bible for most of my daily decision making. You should too.

Heroes:

Jesus, my wife Theresa (love you babe), Martin Luther King, Jr., Colin Powell, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Juanita Bynum-Weeks, Paula White, Joyce Meyers, Oprah Winfrey

What will we accomplish TODAY?

When it's all said and done folks... How do we want to be remembered? We can't possibly get to every party or event around the world and touch every person that we want to touch (not even through MySp...
