Miguel & Griselda Godinez
Portland, OR
Miguel & Griselda Godinez refused to remain content with their station in life. They wanted more for their family. So they poured their hearts into the Primerica Opportunity.
Before he joined Primerica, Miguel Godinez of Portland, OR was doing backbreaking work, toiling in the sun, picking asparagus. It didn’t take long before he saw what the future held for him if he didn’t get out. All he had to do was look over at his 72-year-old grandmother, still working alongside him. “I felt like I was in a cage,” he remembers. “But once I saw this company, when I saw this opportunity was for real, I took control of my future.”
“Everyone has goals and dreams,” Miguel observes. “Certainly we’re no different. We have found a vehicle that can give us a better future.” Miguel says his motivation to succeed in Primerica is centered around his family and the opportunity to one day retire his parents, who he says have been working hard their entire lives.
How did Miguel break free from the asparagus fields and create a better life? According to Miguel, he and his wife Griselda did two important things: First, they worked hard. Second, they refused to let their past hold them from their future.
“My family and I are working toward the same dream,” Miguel says. “We’ve learned that in Primerica, where you’ve been doesn’t matter. It’s where you’re going that matters.” |
