Be careful with what you post on social media
Happy Monday! 🙂 How was your weekend? Hope you had a beautiful one. About two years ago, when I went home to our province for a short vacation, I looked forward to bonding with my family. A part of me was also excited to watch TV shows since I don’t own a TV set in Manila. (Btw, I go home to our province about once a month.) My younger siblings ages 4 and 6 at that time, learned how to operate our smart TV in the province and all they wanted to watch were cartoons on youtube. One day, I saw them typing a familiar name on the youtube search bar. And…

Are you looking for love in the wrong places?
Happy Monday! Last weekend, I met someone. The moment I saw him, I fell in love with him. He had a beautiful smile and he looked charming even from afar. Then our eyes met. It was love at first sight. I felt the connection was instant and authentic. It was a magical moment. I smiled at him and he flashed back his biggest smile at me. On Saturday afternoon, I saw him sitting on the bench in the middle of a beautiful, lush forest garden. He smiled at me so I walked up to him and sat beside him. And that’s when we really bonded. Close open, close open. Pick…

Here’s What Success Requires
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Hope you had a beautiful one. Last Saturday, I gave a talk on The Power of Giving to a group of financial advisors. Right after my talk, I proceeded to Saisaki to meet some of the new students of my online course The 90-Day Book Writing Challenge. They were the ones who enrolled on Day 1 when I opened the registration. Here’s our group photo which I grabbed from Jonas’ FB. I was so amazed at everyone. Jonas is an OFW based in Oman who happens to be on vacation in the Philippines. He traveled by bus from Tuguegarao City for 15 hours and another 15 hours…

What is your word of the year?
​Happy Tuesday! 🙂 How are you? Last Saturday, I attended the quarterly closed-door mastermind meeting with Bro. Bo Sanchez and the TrulyRichClub mentors. He led the group to annual planning. Here’s something I learned from him, as echoed by my friend Maan. Review your 2018 and list down the positive and negative things that happened to you. Then do more of the positive and less of the negative. I loved it because it’s pretty much the same with what we do. To make this year our best year ever, we need to write down our Gratitude and Gold. Gratitude means the blessings or the positive things that happened to us while Gold means the lessons you learned…

2018 Year In Review: Gratitude List
How are you? One of the habits I do on New Year’s Eve is to review how my year went and write down the blessings God has given me. In other words, I write down my gratitude list. I did the same for 2017 which I shared here. Gratitude. I love waking up in the morning thanking God for His goodness. On a daily basis, I have my own “Gratitude Party, Gratitude Walk, and Gratitude journal.” For 2018, I am so grateful with how God has blessed me. He has blessed me beyond my imagination. Truly, He is a God who loves us so much and who is faithful…

How’s your love life?
Happy Thursday! 🙂 It’s January 10. Technically, one-third of the month has passed. Whew! How are your goals so far? I just came from a 3-day workation (work plus vacation) in Tagaytay. I love going on workations to review my goals and to work on a specific project. Do you do that, too? It’s fun! Try it 🙂 Jan 7-9, 2019 was my first workation for 2019. During the 3 days, I was in Tagaytay, I reviewed my professional and personal goals. For my professional goals, I calendared the timeline of all the online courses and online summits we will launch this year. I also strategized how to book more speaking engagements here and abroad. (Btw,…

Let’s Talk About Your Dreams
Happy Wednesday , Sometime in October 2013, I was deciding whether to buy myself a brand new 11” Macbook Air which I’ll use to write books or attend a 3-Day Super Conference in Shangrila Mactan, Cebu. That time, I just “retired” from my corporate job and I was also celebrating my birthday in a few days. It was a choice between a writing gadget and a learning opportunity. I chose the latter. I invested around P60,000 for the 3-day conference in Cebu. That didn’t include the airfare yet. Costly? You bet. Painful? Yes, definitely! Because I knew I invested P60,000 for a 3-day conference, I made sure every minute I spent in…

What will you focus on this 2019?
Happy Monday! 🙂 About a year ago, I was in Ortigas for our Toastmasters Officers semi-annual planning. My role was to share how I was going to conduct the team building activities that will happen in 3 weeks time. During the meeting, I was a bit distracted by what was in front of me. One box of kitkat! At that time, I was very hungry. I love chocolates but I was trying to reduce my chocolate intake! Woah! “Should I eat kitkat? Okay, just one. Should I eat one more? I’m still hungry? To eat or not to eat?” Those thoughts were playing in my mind. I was distracted. Have…

What are your limiting beliefs?
Two years ago, I’ve had my first ever dance recital. Okay, it was not just a recital. It was a dance concert held at Star Theater in Pasay City. It was not just a dance concert. It was a Douglas Nierras Dance Concert. What was so special about this dance concert? I was never a dancer. I remember when I was still an employee. I joined a dance class sponsored by our company. Day 1, I was able to follow the steps. Day 2, I couldn’t follow the steps anymore. So I stopped attending the dance classes. I had this mindset: I’m not a dancer. I can never dance. Every time I would be invited to…
