A Filipino Dream

Work is a great opportunity.

Just like every great opportunity, you try to take advantage of it (in a good way!), try to make the best out of it.

Let me tell you of a great secret we can learn from those who had been successful. In practical terms, you can use this great opportunity (your primary WORK or your business) to grow financially. This is where it all starts. Since this is the one seed where you can reap all the other great opportunities. This is where you can produce. And you use what you produce to produce more.

Eto ang sinabi sa kin ng mga mentors ko, na kung saan saang seminars ko napupulot:

The Billionaire Wealth Building Formula

Generate Income (through your own business or active income from work) ---> then SAVE the Income
 ---> then INVEST that Savings into Other Businesses and/or Cashflow Producing opportunities (like Real Estate, Stocks, Internet Marketing or other opportunities) ---> then Save the Income from the Businesses and/or or opportunity you have discovered, uncovered or presently covering ---> then INVEST again...
(repeat this formula over and over and your wealth grows exponentially!)


Kung wala ka pang work - no problem. You have all the time to think, to visualize and plan your life. You don't know what it is now when you are young and I am at my age. I wished I knew what I know now and implanted it to my brain when I was that young. I envy you. I really do. When I started, all I could think of is what my parents told me. I couldn't or wouldn't even listen. I was sooooo stubborn. So full of myself. So proud to take the world (the real world) as if I know a piece of it.  I have been so short-sighted that lots and lots of opportunities were wasted. Even now, whenever I don't act. (And so I am starting this blog.)

My parents gave me only 1 formula:
Work. Work. Work. Through that you will earn and have money.

(My formula then was: Enjoy Life. Play. Gimik. Games. Girlfriend. Barkada. Insan. Text / Internet. Gastos dito, gastos duon. So typical of a young person full of life.)

It's not their mistake. Yun lang din ang iisang formula na binigay ng parents nila sa kanila. The good news? Hindi lang po iyun ang nag-iisang formula.


So what now? You work, work and work until your physical body can't do it anymore? Then at that time, do you think you have saved enough for your retirement?

Teka, what retirement? You haven't heard of the word "retirement"? Oh yes, you heard of it, but you don't know.. does it exist here in the Philippines? Nangyayari ba yun? Do you get it automatically? You earn it? Or do you pay for it? Is it called separation pay? Is it called Insurance? Hey, hey, wait.. easy lang. That's another term... ano yung insurance? Meron ba tayo nun? Ano ba yun, kelangan ba natin yun? Naririnig ko lang yun sa Amerika e. Di ba binebenta sa atin yun? Or, di ba, yun yung SSS? O.. di ba dapat magbibigay yung pinagtatrabahuan natin ng ganun once you resign na and go find another work?

You are not alone my friend. There's sooo much to learn. And so I am here. I am here to guide you just as my mentors, those countless books, those speakers in seminars I've attended, those blogs, those friends who were seeking the same fortune as me,  has guided me. I will guide you and we will learn together. Coz.. me? I'm still learning, too. We will learn together, and we will listen to what LIFE itself has been telling us all along but we just DIDN'T budge.

We will learn. We will listen and take note of all the good points. Scrap all the bad ones, but still make a mental note of them and be sure to prepare for them -- and again, "learn" from them. (It's a cycle, don't you see?)

We will prepare ourselves. We will seize the moment. We will be aware and will come to understand or realize: what great great abundance life can really offer.

We will seek our lives. Our dreams.
We will ask.

And we shall receive.

Libre daw ang mangarap. Pero libre din ang pagkilos. Ang pag-aaral. Ang pagsi-siyasat.
At syempre, libre rin ang knowledge na ishe-share ko sa yo!!! =)

So ACT now, my friend.
Listen, and open up your mind.
Dream Big!!!


God bless!
Live life to your fullest!
