Jessica Abo: Bernardo, you have shared that duty has performed a big function in your life because you have been a toddler. Please give us a way of what that seemed like.

Bernardo Moya:

My dad handed away once I was younger once I was 15. Lengthy earlier than that, I used to be the captain of the soccer crew. I used to be accountable for the category. I used to be a corporal within the military, so I all the time had that sense of duty.

When my dad handed away, I used to be answerable for my brother and my mother, and it is one thing that I’ve all the time felt that I’d all the time as an alternative lead than be led. I used to be all the time the designated driver as properly. So I’ve all the time wished to be in management to a sure diploma. I’ve had some bosses in my life, they usually have been nice, however I favor to be my one. In order that’s it. That is the place it got here from.

What have been a few of your first jobs?

Moya:

Once I was younger, I began educating English as a result of I used to be residing in Spain, after which I turned a DJ. Then I used to be operating nightclubs earlier than I bought into actual property. I did so many alternative issues, after which I had a building firm, however it was all the time with that concept in thoughts of desirous to do extra and obtain extra. But in addition with that sense of the truth of mortality. My dad handed away comparatively younger; he had so many issues to do, and I wished to make it possible for I may obtain as a lot, if not much more than he did due to his age and the issues I wished to do.

What did you study as a nightclub promoter, and the way does that present up for you in your life as we speak?

Moya:

Once I used to run events, it was all about bringing individuals collectively to have enjoyable. So we provide you with an thought and an idea, after which we might go on the market and get individuals. It was then the thought of constructing, creating issues, and being very visible. Since my early years, that has helped me develop most of the expertise I’ve now. And I all the time say that. I feel a number of occasions, we underestimate the teachings we study and the method of rising, evolving, and reinventing ourselves. So it helped me in what I do as we speak.

What took you from selling nightclub life to actual property life?

Moya:

I’d love the thought of going and speaking to somebody and fascinating with them and being assured and being charismatic or magnetic, no matter I may do to get individuals to both have an interest within the properties or be serious about me, but in addition in what I used to be providing.

So sure, I feel that transition of me operating these events after which considering and visualizing and seeing every little thing I wished to construct sooner or later, which was these occasions that I do now, are very interlinked.

What occurred in your actual property journey that made you lose all of it?

Moya:

In Europe, we had two large actual property bubbles. The primary time I used to be 26, I shared that I had no cash. I had a can stuffed with cash, and I keep in mind I had the final one and acquired my son a tin of lentils. And the second, I used to be 40.

I’ve hit all-time low a number of occasions, as little as you possibly can. And from there, I’ve all the time discovered the power to come back again. I’ve all the time come again stronger and by no means let adversity knock me down.

What bought you out of that place?

Moya:

One of many issues I’m is resilient. I’ve had very darkish days and dangerous conditions, however I’d all the time rise up the following morning able to battle once more. And I’d by no means have a look at the outlet. I’d be the place I’m going and what I’m doing. What am I aiming for? What can I do in a different way?

So it was all the time round that, in search of the answer reasonably than specializing in the issue. So I feel any rich or profitable entrepreneur, millionaire, or billionaire would’ve informed you that you just’re not an entrepreneur until you have misplaced your cash a number of occasions and hit all-time low a number of occasions, however it’s made me who I’m.

To what do you attribute your psychological power and readability?

Moya:

What gave me the main target was NLP, Neuro-Linguistic Programming. I got here throughout a ebook, Change Your Life in Seven Days, which bought my consideration. After which, I turned a practitioner, a grasp practitioner, and a coach. So within the technique of me shedding every little thing, NLP gave me a transparent understanding. I wished to do one thing completely different that had extra which means, which is what I do as we speak.

After which selling got here again into play.

Moya:

It did. That was it. From shedding every little thing in actual property and seeing every little thing that I had, every little thing that I owned, and every little thing that I knew disappearing in entrance of me, I immediately, standing in the midst of the room, understood I wished to do one thing in a different way. After which this chance got here to me, about which I may promote the person I used to be studying NLP, Dr. Richard Bandler.

So I turned his promoter out of the blue. And it was an enormous determination as a result of I needed to transfer nations. I needed to depart my household at dwelling. I commuted for 3 years, Monday to Friday, and I by no means promoted occasions however inspired events. I used to be good at advertising. I used to do this in actual property. Properly, I constructed the world’s largest NLP coaching firm, NLP Life Coaching. After which, after that, I created The Finest You.

The place have been you once you had this concept for Finest You?

Moya:

I began figuring out that it is a very fragmented trade, the place the greats do nice issues, however people who aren’t nice, attempting to evolve and change into nice, did not have a platform. In order that’s the place you possibly can solely go to the yoga present, you possibly can go to the meditation present, you possibly can see Tony Robbins, or you possibly can go and see another person. And I wished to carry everybody collectively as a result of private, skilled development means many alternative issues to many others.

So I wished to have one thing that was very anti-niche that introduced anybody underneath a roof, and in addition give them stage time, which a number of the time they did not have. And that is the place the entire thought of The Finest You as a model got here from and all of the various things I’ve achieved with The Finest You.

How does The Finest You Expo work?

Moya:

I visualized, “As a substitute of operating one seminar, why cannot I run 5 or 6 or eight or 9?” And that is what I began doing. We now have 9 levels: Room for Girls, Empowering Girls, Finest for Enterprise, Ardour to Revenue, and Inspiration zone, the place we train individuals the way to dance or martial arts. We put that occasion collectively. After which the thought can also be to have exhibitors share their experience. And it was robust.

The primary one I did, I keep in mind I did not sleep for 4 months. We labored onerous. We had 3,000 attendees. I went to the door to see how many individuals have been on the door, and there have been 10, and 6 have been in registration. I believed, “Oh my God, why has nobody come?” And finally, we had 3,000 individuals come up.

Who involves the Expo?

Moya:

It is for anybody and everybody. It is the holistic method. I feel to change into a greater human; there are a lot of completely different elements of life that it’s important to look into. It’s a must to maintain your self; it’s important to eat properly, train, meditate, and be surrounded by the proper individuals—positivity, studying new expertise, being up-to-date with every little thing taking place in apps and blockchain, and every little thing.

Aside from that, it is love. It’s a must to be a loving particular person and be open to like to change into aware of what is taking place on the earth. That is what The Finest You means. So in case you really feel you’re in that class, it is best to verify The Finest You Expo. That is what it is about.

You say that love is the one factor that everyone wants extra of, each of their life and of their enterprise. And it is also an enormous purpose why you wrote your newest ebook, Man Evolving. Might you inform us extra about that?

Moya:

Love is not a part of the dialog of many. In order a conduit, as the individual that brings different individuals to the forefront and offers them a stage, I wish to take that duty of encouraging them to share extra love, to speak extra about love, as a result of everyone knows. All of us have pals who immediately get dangerous information, and priorities change immediately. And we proceed to deal with totally worldly issues which have completely no worth in any respect. And it is solely what we depart and what we do, and particularly who we love and really feel beloved, that might be necessary on the finish of our day. So something and every little thing that we do needs to be round love.

So this ebook, A Man Evolving, is about my journey, however I am attempting to share it. I am a person; I’ve made errors, many, and certainly one of them just isn’t being open sufficient and never being weak sufficient. And we want to have the ability to come and step up and be sincere and categorical love, most significantly. On this ebook, I open myself up, however it tries in a tiny option to encourage women and men to speak about love and categorical love.

You additionally wrote a ebook referred to as The Query; what questions can we ask ourselves day by day, each quarter, to make sure that we live our greatest lives?

Moya:

All of us have an inner dialogue and a voice that runs in our heads. And it may be constructive, or it may be damaging. And the standard of your life is dependent upon the standard of the questions you ask your self. As a result of the reply is not essentially a solution. The reply is the query. So now we have to look and rise up within the morning, and what can I do as we speak in a different way? How can I change into a greater human? How can I make a distinction? Who can I contact as we speak? Who can I really like as we speak? Who can I present some gratitude to? What am I grateful for?

So the ebook asks these questions all through the completely different sections and chapters. And I like to recommend individuals to have a notepad and ask them. So it was thought-provoking for me, and it was as thought-provoking as the truth that one of many questions I used to be asking in direction of the tip of the ebook is, am I pleased? What have I but to do?

I wasn’t pleased as a result of I wished to do many issues, however I felt I could not. So I may solely put myself to publish a ebook as soon as I requested myself these robust questions. Once I did and I acted, that is once I posted the textual content.

Lastly, what’s subsequent for you?

Moya:

To proceed to speak about love, to proceed to share the entire thought round being open and sincere for us to have the ability to categorical our emotions. And I hope to share that on levels world wide. And I am half Spanish, so talking to the Spanish-speaking market can also be important. However aside from that, The Finest You Expo. I need us to take this globally. We have our convention taking place in LA this yr, and we intend to develop exponentially. I want to see an occasion that lots of of hundreds of individuals attend, and I need this to be screened so thousands and thousands of individuals can watch it and see it worldwide. And I wish to have the chance for audio system and specialists to share their experience throughout the globe. In order that’s my imaginative and prescient. And so long as I’ve bought the power, the nerve to go and do it, we’ll do it.
