How Bo Sanchez’ Maids Inspired Me to Invest in the Stock Market
January 20, 2013/
A few years ago, I read a book called “My Maid Invests in the Stock Market and Why You Should, Too!”
I was intrigued by the book’s title. I read the book and the book dispelled my prior notions that stock market is only for those with deep pockets and those who know the nosebleed language of investing.
I learned that you can start investing in the stock market for as low as Php5,000. I also learned that you can literally make the stock market your piggy bank. You can put in as low as Php1,000 or Php2,000 every month, depending on how much you can invest.
I wanted to learn how to invest in the stock market. I had two options:
1. Apply as Bo Sanchez’ Maid
2. Get him as my Mentor
I chose Option 2 because I realized I have yet to learn how to cook other meals aside from chicken adobo and ala sinigang na bangus. Besides, I’m a Turtle when it comes to cleaning the house. 🙂
Through Bo Sanchez’ mentoring, I bought some shares of Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), Ayala Land Inc., (ALI), and Manila Water Company (MWC) sometime in 2010.
The costs per share were as follows:
A year later, my friends and I were to attend the World Youth Day 2011 in Madrid, Spain. It’s my dream to travel to Europe!
When I computed my money, I realized it wasn’t enough for travel expenses.
And then I remembered my stocks. To my pleasant surprise, my stocks grew at an average rate of 20% in just a year. (Majority of the stocks I bought were JFC).
To cut the long story short, I sold my stocks and I traveled to Europe. 🙂
That’s me, hanging out in Paris! 🙂
I thank God I learned how to invest in the stock market. Investing in the stock market is risky if you enter it with little knowledge. That’s why it’s important to be mentored by someone who walks the talk, someone who is successful at it. To this day, I’m not claiming that I am well-versed when it comes to investing in the stock market. I still consider myself a newbie, oftentimes a delinquent student who constantly needs to be reminded to invest regularly… I’m glad I get reminded at least twice a month! 🙂
I’d like to share with you this email from Bo Sanchez. I wish I received this email when I was still starting out as an employee, some 8+ years ago. Nevertheless, it’s never too late to improve our finances.
My Maids Are Now Richer
Than Many Managers
Three years ago, I taught my Maids how to invest in the Stock Market.
People laughed at me when I told them what I was doing.
“That’s too much for them,” one friend told me. “They can’t handle that. It’s better to teach them how to put their money in the bank.”
But who’s laughing now?
One of my maids has P363,658 in her Stock Market account.
My other maid has 210,847 in her account.
That may not be much to you, but to them, they feel very rich.
And here’s a fact: My Maids are now richer than many Managers.
I’m not kidding.
You see, I talk to a lot of Managers when I give corporate seminars.
Many of them have Zero savings and are buried in debt.
My maids? They’re confident that in 5 to 7 more years, they’ll have P1 Million. And 20 years, over P5 Million.
If you’ve got 20 minutes a month,
You can work a financial miracle in your life.
Each month, my maids bought the Stocks I told them to buy.
It wasn’t easy, believe me. There were days when they didn’t want to invest their money—because they wanted to buy something. But with my coaching, they disciplined themselves and invested their money.
All it takes is 20 minutes a month.
First, set aside 20% of your salary each month.
Next, put in your small amount into the Stocks I tell you to buy—which can be done all online, seated in front of your computer, in the comfort of your home. And that’s it. Do this each month and you’re all set to retire a multi-millionaire.
Here’s the deal: Whatever small amounts you can put into the Stock Market today will be worth millions 20 years from now.
I believe that investing (not trading) in the Stock Market is one of the best ways of growing your passive income. Yes, there’s a difference between trading and investing. And my eBook and special Reports will teach you the difference.
Guarantee: You’ll Be Able To Understand Me
Do you know the problem with the Stock Market world?
They don’t speak English. Honest.
They speak a strange dialect that is spoken only in the second moon of the planet Uranus.
But I’ve solved that problem. If my maids can understand me, then anyone can understand me.
I’ll Hold Your Hands Every Step Of The Way
Here’s what I do for my TrulyRichClub Gold members.
Twice a month, I send a very short “Stocks Update”. I’ll tell you what companies I’m investing in and how they’re doing.
Why will I give this “Stocks Update” Report? To give myTrulyRichClub members guidance and inspiration.
Especially when there’s a crisis, my “Stocks Update” will be crucial. It will prevent you from selling your Stocks because of your panic—and lose your money. And it will encourage you to do the very opposite—buy great companies when the prices are very low.
Join Today And You’ll Start Stocks Investing Next Week
I have to be honest with you: This may not be for you.
I don’t want you to get into something that isn’t for you.
First of all, this isn’t for the person who doesn’t have a job or business.
In order to invest regularly, you’ve got to earn regularly. (My Maidsearn a smaller salary than Managers, but you see, it’s not how much you earn, but how much you keep of what you earn.)
If you have a regular income and are willing to set aside a few pesos a month to invest in long-term investments—so you can create millions for your future—then listen up.
Read carefully: 2012 is gone.
So here’s my big questions for you: Can you PREPARE now so that 2013 will be very different from 2012? Do you want 2013 to be your banner year of growing your finances?
Will you do something NOW?
Or will you be wondering again when 2013 chugs along, “Oh my gosh, the year is going so fast… Why haven’t I done anything to secure my financial future?”
Sign up today, because I’ll be sending out my Stocks Update Report next week for my TrulyRichClub Gold members.

Excellent post, Sha!
I like how you put it with wit – either to apply as Bo’s maid 🙂 or get him as a mentor. As what you said, the latter is the better choice.

Hahaha.. I also like your sense of humor.
Fantastic article.
It teaches us that Financial Literacy doesn’t stereo type people.
It’s for everyone willing to learn and be mentored.
By the way, I’m ok with chicken adobo (my favorite) and ala sinigang na bangus. (what do you mean by ‘ALA’ sinigang na bangus?):)

Hehe! Thanks, Ron! It’s my own version of sinigang na bangus. 🙂
