In Fields to Fortune: The True Story of How a Farmhand Built a Global Empire, Moses Heredia—author, entrepreneur, and CEO—offers more than just a memoir. Published by Game Changer Publishing, the book serves as a strategic, motivational roadmap that chronicles Heredia’s rise from working the fields in Hobbs, New Mexico, to leading one of the nation’s prominent payment processing companies. At its core, the story is founded on four guiding principles: God, Goals, Grind, and Global.
The Man Behind the Mission
Moses Heredia’s journey reflects the hustle and determination that characterize a New York state of mind. As the founder and CEO of Global Processing Systems (GPS), he has grown the company into a significant player serving clients across industries, including e-commerce, petroleum, and quick-service restaurant sectors. GPS counts brands like Subway, Chevron, Toyota, Domino’s, and KFC among its partners, solidifying its position as one of the premier Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) in the country.
However, Heredia’s true distinction lies in how he’s built his empire. Grounded in faith and a strong sense of purpose, his leadership style combines sharp business acumen with a commitment to community. At GPS, success is measured not only in profits but in the positive impact made along the way.
Leadership Rooted in Purpose
Heredia attributes his success to the “4G’s”—God, Goals, Grind, and Global. These aren’t just motivational slogans; they’re core values that shape every decision, from company culture to client strategy.
Faith gives him direction. Clear goals help maintain focus. The grind drives relentless effort. And a global perspective ensures his vision extends beyond borders. These values are woven into the fabric of GPS, where innovation flourishes, and mutual respect defines the work environment.
Giving Back as a Business Standard
In a world where influence is often associated with income, Heredia’s story stands out for its depth of purpose. His philanthropic initiatives aim to level the playing field—mentoring young entrepreneurs, supporting students from underserved communities, and opening doors for those just starting their journey.
For Heredia, giving back isn’t an afterthought—it’s integral to his mission. That ethos runs through Fields to Fortune, where he shares valuable lessons and practical insights designed to encourage readers to define success on their own terms. Whether you’re building a startup or looking for direction in your career, Heredia’s message resonates: obstacles can be overcome.
Scaling with Strategy and Vision
GPS’s growth has been deliberate, shaped by Heredia’s understanding of market trends and consumer needs. By securing partnerships with globally recognized brands and offering scalable, customizable solutions, GPS has earned its place in a competitive space.
Heredia also serves in advisory roles at Fiserv and TSYS—two leading firms in the processing world—giving him insight into industry developments. He channels that knowledge directly into GPS, helping the company stay ahead of the curve. His focus on communication, responsiveness, and team-driven innovation mirrors the same mindset that carried him from the farm fields to the boardroom.
A Blueprint for Ambitious Leaders
For readers, Heredia’s story presents a message that feels particularly relevant today: it’s not about where you begin—it’s about how far you’re willing to go. His life offers valuable lessons in resilience, leadership, and purpose-driven success.
Fields to Fortune: The True Story of How a Farmhand Built a Global Empire is more than a business book. It serves as an inspiration for those who dream, build, and persist, with the belief that with the right mindset, many goals are achievable.
Heredia’s story demonstrates that the most enduring empires aren’t simply built on strategy—they’re built on heart.
