Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Moises.
Hi Alex, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have always believed that every beginning is in the mind… Mentally creating what you want to achieve and where you want to go, I consider that it is the key to success of any person. You should set small, short-term goals that allow you to achieve the bigger goals.
This dream began when I was 19 years old when I left my country and family behind to travel to Atlanta to study English. A difficult decision, but with my suitcase full of dreams and challenges to fulfill.
I came to this country with immense desires, wanting to grow professionally, and of course supporting my family. Due to life circumstances and some personal reasons, I had to go out into the world to defend myself, I started cleaning houses four days a week, and at the same time, working in an ice cream parlor, I had to leave my English course to be able to support myself, literally it was: “Eat or study”.
Whenever I went out to work in the morning, I would repeat to myself: “I don’t want a boss, I don’t want to do this anymore.” I think that mantra that was in my mind every day helped me to be strong and to go after my dreams. After almost a year, I had the opportunity to be a sales representative for an American company, clearly I thought about it a lot because it was going from receiving a fixed weekly payment to earning what my sales gave me, and I jumped without thinking and it was a good decision I made, because I learned a lot, and absorbed all the knowledge possible.
My growth was happening year after year, and my goals were getting bigger and bigger, so much so that after a lot of work and discipline, I registered my own company. There were many people who did not believe in me, who told me all the time that I could not, that it was impossible, and even more so in a country that is not yours. It was so amazing that I looked back months and said, I made it. A Colombian triumphing in the USA!
2020 is coming, COVID 19 is coming, a pandemic that put the world on hiatus. When this issue began to take hold, I only asked myself over and over again: Who would want to buy when the world was in crisis? However, once again, I believed in my intuition, in my abilities, and I launched once again in a vacuum in a market totally unknown to me. I started to venture into the insurance world, I saw it uphill because even though I did not finish my English course, circumstances have made me adapt. With my basic English, I began to study to be able to obtain the licenses that would allow me to market with insurance, this took a while, however, when I had my first license, I did not believe it, I felt that I had reached the top. And so once again, he had shown me that he had no limits.
Almost two years later, I have an insurance agency, I am an insurance broker and I work with several carriers. My company today is stable, I have made myself known for my commitment and responsibility to clients, always wanting to help them in the best way and within the legal framework that is the most important thing. I achieved my most cherished dreams which were not to have a boss, to have my own schedule, and to be totally independent, and this is where the hard part really comes because starting is not easy, but staying overtime is what costs the most, and that experiences have shown me. I am grateful to God to have me where I am and to the people who have been my support when I did not believe in myself.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Getting started is definitely not easy, and even more so, when you find yourself alone in an unknown country, with a different language and cultures. There were many obstacles, but the biggest one that I have had to overcome has been to believe in myself and in my abilities. I consider that this has been one of the biggest personal obstacles that I have had to face, telling you YES when your mind says NO. The people in my path have become great blessings. Wonderful people have come into my life who, in addition to becoming friends, have contributed their professional knowledge to give me a boost. So if you meet friends, acquaintances on your way, do not leave them aside, they can be allies for your personal project.
For those who read me, I only say that you must work hard to make your dreams come true, there is nothing impossible, everything can be achieved, but you must work hard and focus your mind to achieve it. Today there are several goals that are on hiatus and that I am building little by little with sacrifice.
We will always encounter obstacles, but taking risks should ALWAYS be the first option.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about TR3SHOME SERVICES INC?
TR3SHOME SERVICES INC is a company that was born to be a distributor of kitchen products, which was the market in which I started. Today, it is an Insurance Agency whose mission is to solve the needs of people and companies. We have personal and commercial insurance, covering a wide market. We have made a difference in the Latin community that is our focus group because we speak our language and know perfectly the needs of our clients. We provide personalized attention; And that is our biggest flag, since our clients come to TR3SHOME SERVICES INC for the attention and service provided, many of our clients have come as referrals, and that makes us feel proud of the work we do every day. Something very important that I would like to highlight is the competitive prices that we have since we offer a wide and exclusive brochure since clients are those who adjust to their needs and above all to their budget. So the doors of my company, as the collaborators, you would be happy to receive them and guide them in our specialty, insurance.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Along this path, risks have been taken, and some quite important, not taking them, always tend to slow down the processes and set us back. As an independent, I have taken several risks since I started. I have had to face several situations. The biggest one I have taken on has been starting a new business in the midst of a pandemic, however the results have been too positive. I believe that if I didn’t have that constant initiative of reinventing myself all the time and constantly searching and learning TR3SHOME SERVICES INC, I would not be the insurance agency that it is today, one of the most recognized and trusted in Atlanta.
To the people who read this, I just want to tell you that every day we take risks, that every decision we make is a risk we face, the difference is whether you believe or not, we must always believe in ourselves and our capabilities that are infinite, the Being human has not yet determined how much it can or cannot achieve, so we must discover it for ourselves and challenge ourselves until we get what we want.
