Work can be challenging,

Why? I mean, Because people bring energy.

They bring humor.

They bring support on the hard days and celebrate the wins on the good ones.

They turn pressure into teamwork and uncertainty into confidence.

This is WHY people make it better.

Yesterday’s early Thanksgiving potluck was the perfect reminder. We took a pause, shared a meal, connected as humans and even the Grinch showed up to join us.

Grateful for a team that makes the work worth it, the changes manageable, and the journey meaningful. Happy early Thanksgiving from the Amerant Bank family!

Great businesses aren’t built on products 

they’re built on….                    

“Relationships”

If you want more referrals, smoother operations, and opportunities that seem to “just happen,” start here:

Treat your clients and suppliers like long-term partners, not transactions.

Here’s what that looks like:

1. Check in early, Don’t wait for a problem to start a conversation.

2. Understand their priorities. When people feel heard, they go the extra mile.

3. Be easy to work with. Clear, responsive, honest. It’s rare and memorable.

4. Share the wins. Give credit. Say thank you. Appreciate the people around you.

5. Think long term. A strong relationship outperforms a perfect contract every time.

When people genuinely enjoy working with you, business gets easier and opportunities grow.

Relationships create revenue. Every time. 

The folks on these images know how to do this the right way!

Grow for the right reasons!

The fundamental flaw in “growth at all cost”?

It creates the illusion of success while quietly destroying the one metric that truly keeps you in business: PROFIT.

You don’t stay alive because of how much you sell. You stay alive because of how much profit you make… and how much of it you keep.

When companies chase growth for the sake of looking bigger:

More locations
More inventory
More employees
More volume

They often sacrifice margins, operational discipline, and cash flow.

And here’s the irony:

1. More sales don’t fix a broken model.
2. More customers don’t solve inefficiency.
3. More revenue doesn’t matter if every dollar costs you $1.05 to produce.

“Growth at all cost” has a habit of making you less profitable, not more.

The real flex?

Growing with intention.
Tightening your operations.
Knowing your unit economics.
Protecting your margins.
Scaling only what actually works.

Businesses don’t fail because they didn’t grow fast enough.

They fail because they grew unprofitably.

====================================

PS: In the photo we were celebrating someone that knows how to grow profitably and, most importantly, has a passion for teaching it. 

Dr. Patty E Mason MST EA DM just launched the Financial Wellness Academy, a platform dedicated to helping people build sustainable financial habits. 

I’ve known Patty for years and have had the privilege of financing some of her projects. She has been a client, a friend and now family. Seeing her turn her purpose into impact is nothing short of inspiring. 

Congratulations my friend

Business is so much more than numbers, meetings, and deals.

Last week miami heat game reminded of that…

I was at the basketball game surrounded by over a dozen clients and future clients. We were cheering, laughing, talking life, and getting to know each other beyond our professional relationships.

This is exactly how business should feel. At least for me.

Business should be about connection.
About creating experiences together.
About building trust when no one is selling anything. About showing up as people first, professionals second.

Because when you share moments, you build relationships that actually last. And those relationships are what drive everything else: 

Better conversations
Better opportunities
Better outcomes.

Last week at the game it was about community
And that’s the part of business we should all lean into more.

“Poor me.”

It’s the first thought most people have when life gets difficult.

Champions on the other hand, go through hard times and think:

“Perfect. Everyone else who wants to catch me has to go through this same fire… and most won’t make it.”

That’s the mindset shift.

Hard times aren’t punishment … they’re separation.

Hard times expose who’s built for pressure and who folds under it.

When I stopped asking “Why me?” and started “DOING this,” that day I became a threat.

Keep going. Keep doing the work!

The struggle is your advantage. 

The ones chasing you won’t survive the terrain you’re learning to master.

Avoiding uncomfortable conversations 

Is the worst thing you can do…

People don’t need me to pretend the market is perfect. They need me to calmly explain the plan forward and the next few steps to take. 

Most professionals confuse “certainty” with “positivity.”

When things get turbulent, you don’t win trust by pretending everything is fine.

You win trust by being the person who says:

“Here’s what’s happening. Here’s what it means. And here’s what we’re going to do about it.”

That’s real leadership. That’s what keeps loyalty with you for years, not months.

Here are 3 actionable things you can start doing today:

1. Tell the truth early and clearly: I guarantee you, transparency builds confidence faster than comfort. Address challenges upfront, and guide the them to the next step.

2. Follow up before they ask: If you’re updating them only when they call, you’re already behind.
	
3. Teach them one useful concept per meeting:
People feel empowered when they understand the “why,” not just the “what.” Always share with then your plan and your next few steps. Knowledge builds loyalty.

Lead with honesty.
Lead with clarity.
Lead with direction.
Lead with confidence.

That’s how you become the advisor people trust especially when the market isn’t perfect.
