The True Millionaire’s Prayer
Hi! How are you? 🙂 It’s been a month since I wrote an article here in Seminar Philippines. I missed writing. I missed communicating with you. Did you miss me too? 😛 I have a lot to share with you. I’ve been learning a lot these past few months. Last March, I attended Bo Sanchez’ Wealth Summit wherein I was also one of the speakers. Last April, I attended a 3-day Public Speaking Convention in Imperial Palace, Mactan, Cebu. The speakers included Darren Lacroix who’s the World Champion in Public Speaking, Dinah Loomis, and Dr. Shaukat Chandna, among others. Last May, I gave talks to Ardy Roberto’s Project Author Class…

Be Aggressive yet Loving and Gentle
It was October 2008 when I first attended the Feast in Valle Verde. It was also my first time to see Bo Sanchez in person. Star struck was an understatement. I was awed at his skill in speaking. After listening to his talk, I felt rejuvenated. He had a cheerful disposition, a breath of fresh air. His message that day was about being aggressive yet loving and gentle. By being aggressive, he didn’t mean being rude, nor boastful, nor pushy, nor violent. He defined aggressive by presenting the 7 Laws of Aggressiveness. The 7 Laws of Aggressiveness 1) The Law of Clarity One should be very clear…

I Met the Maid Who Invests in the Stock Market
As promised, I’m going to share with you my notes during the Truly Rich Club Wealth Summit 2013. During the Wealth Summit, I met a number of inspiring people. I met Ivy Dela Cruz, a simple and humble woman who was once a sales lady. As a sales lady, she only had one uniform which she had to wash every night so she could use again the next day. This she did for the next four years! Today, *please read this carefully* her monthly income is equal to the yearly income of some managers. I was star struck to finally meet The Maid Who Invests in the Stock Market! Her…

The Ultimate Solution to Our Money Problems
I just came from the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Centralized air conditioner in the whole city (Brrrr!!! It was sooo cold out there!), colorful Panagbenga floats, and beautiful green scenery delighted the child in me! It always feels so good to be on vacation! 🙂 While dining in a restaurant inside Camp John Hay, this thought crossed my mind. I want to have the flexibility to work in front of a beautiful beach or on top of a mountain or in a cozy coffee shop anytime I wish. It’s a vision that gives me another strong motivation to succeed. It’s true that money may not be…

How to Turn Your One Thousand Pesos to One Million Pesos
As I’m writing this, I’m on a two-week vacation. It’s wonderful to be on vacation, free from stress inherent to my job as a banker. I love taking vacations! My vacation is giving me a lot of time to think, plan, read, write, bond with my family and friends, and to simply relax. 🙂 Something bothered and at the same time, excited me in a good way. If only I knew the power of compounding when I started working some 8 years ago, I would have saved a certain amount every month and invested it in the stock market. I didn’t know any better then. What I…
