61 Days More - Changes Worth Just a Few Millimeters

I stumbled upon this powerful video of Tony Robbins (one of my favorites) giving a talk on change as I was filling up my new blog Best Inspiring Videos. I had really no intention of choosing this video but by the end I said to myself..."Hey, this is just what I really need right now..."



Setting up my new blog brought a lot of negative feedback from Evil Hanz. He kept on saying that it won't work and would be just like any other blogs I have. For one, I was so depressed of my MagicJack blog that after all the high hopes I had and super inspired by Jan's Soleskate blog's outcome that until today it only had one loyal visitor - Me. All the sleepless nights and effort I had was just not enough. Honestly, I don't know why it has no traffic. And I don't want to talk about it anymore because it hurts.

Pak! Ouch! I just snapped my Positive Switch Band.

What got me in this video is this..

"When it seems impossible, when it seems like nothing is going to work, you're usually a few millimeters away from making it happen..." - Tony Robbins

So what's the "few millimeters away" for my blog? Content? Could be. Working on it. Time? Possibly. Oh, how about this...Me! Yes. Me. Maybe I should re-focus how I look at that blog. Maybe a little re-programming would do. Maybe I should think differently and lift the pressure off myself on this, just a few millimeters. Let's see what would happen. Think of it as a seed I plant here and there. (You should read my post on someone who didn't even expect that a seed she'd planted came into a tree that touch millions of lives.) All seeds grow somehow right?

Oh I just remebered!! I'll be watering this plants - blogs - of mine with an additional spot in my morning incantations of "I am a money magnet!" and "I have a millionaire mind.." I shall be saying...
"I am a traffic magnet!"

62 Days More - My First Millionaire Business

I know everyone's excited, calm down, calm down, relax, in a few moments I'm gonna bring out to the world my first real established business. Okay okay, you might be wondering what's the difference of this one to all my other businesses. First and foremost, all of them failed!!! Ouch! When I say failed, no return of investment! Ouch Ouch! My only ROI was the learning I got from my mistakes and failures. (In psychology, this is what we call defense-mechanism: rationalizing over the thousands I've lost..hehehe)

Okay, so what is it?

Selling goods? Actually it's my job, rat-race job, but not my business.
Selling ebooks online? Soon.
T-shirt printing? Soon.
Real Estate? Soon? (hehehe)
Food? My mom does it, I'm just the marketer/sales rep/taster
Pigs? Quite soon.
Farming? Quite Quite soon
Lending? uh-huh.
Personal Services and Consultancy? Not now.
Wait..wait..what?????

LENDING?

"Those who have not sinned, shall cast the first stone!"

 (just defensive)

Why of all services chose lending?

Let's rephrase it...Why not lending?

Okay, why am I too defensive? First and foremost its lending that almost made us motherless after she tried buying muriatic acid at the sarisari store devastated from all the debts she was unable to pay. Like what I said in my previous post my new best friend now is debt. I have to accept the reality that debt is something normal for a person to survive. And at most times, it can be something very very good. Honestly, this is not easy, I begin to think I am now the motorcycle rider with turban my mom tries to run away from before. But I have to open myself and embrace it. Make my very weakness my sole strength. 

How did this came about? It's not really easy when your staff, with all his guts, approaches you and sincerely tells you that his wife is giving birth, he's down to today's meal only, her child needs this and that,  and how he hopes he could borrow money from you offering to pay you with interest? Say this happens like once every two weeks. And all you can say is a "No, I don't do that." Sometimes, they joke asking from you but you just smile at them, "No, sorry." This was how it came to be.


Let me state this loud and clear: My vision-mission is: Help People AND Earn. Earning money should not be the main focus in this business. All my decision making should be rooted on how can I help this person. And comes my earning part. I promise my self that I'd stop this immediately, no questions asked, if my head gets big and I worry how much will I be earning.

My terms are simple, a generous 5% per month, and increases anther 5% the following month and so on. Missed to pay amount will be subject to the next months interest rate on the whole amount not the remaining balance. This is to motivate them to pay fast in the first month at the smallest rate. I'm expecting surprises in the first few months but I'll be as flexible as possible. (Remember, ready, fire, aim principle)



Now, I can say to myself, this time I will be the motorcycle rider instead of bringing a scythe, I will be bringing hope.


Kuya, Tita, and Jan, thank you for this!

63 Days to Go - Goals: Keeping Things in Perspective

Things have been "so many" lately "so fired-up" in this challenge that I'm losing sight of what I'm really doing. I'm having too much strikes that all I have been doing is just to strike and never aim.

As per T. Harv Eker, the best step is to "Ready. Fire. Aim." You get ready then hit a strike then work on it. This principle defeats man's mentality "Ready. Aim. Fire." where we always end up just aiming and never firing. In my case, I just fire fire fire and never aim. So this post would be how I Aim after all those strikes.

Internet

Like what I have said in my previous post that my focus now would be on internet marketing and blogging and my terminal objective at this moment would be to increase traffic. here are the action plans I must work on:

1. Make Poster links for 90 days and Inzpiro - deadline: After writing this post.
2. Complete the 10 Stories for my e-book Stories Millionaires Read - deadline: Before 60 Days more
3. Add more post for Magicjack unlimited and pray that traffic will build - deadline: Before 57 Days more
4. Launch the new blog: Best Inspiring Videos with at least 10 videos - deadline: Before 55 Days more
5. Finalize and complete the e-book Stories Millionaires Read - deadline: Before 53 Days more

Businesses

1. Finalize the scheme and launch the Lending next week.
2. Talk to daddy if the pigs are still available and contact my Aunt about it and arrange with Leandro
3. Keep track with Kuya on any developments for the Feel Great Shirts.
4. Endorse mom's toys to Kuya Raoul and Ate Ruby's new store by Wednesday
5. Look for anyone still interested with 222 - get at least 2 buyers next week

Of course, continue reading on Creating Wealth on all spare time. Plus, I'll exert an extra effort to talk more with God maybe he could help me increase my traffic and the Universe would cooperate. I remember how I used to think before that the Internet is just beside Heaven. No one has ever been gone to the Heaven and back right? Well, so as to the internet.

65 then 64 Days to Go - Everybody's is Already Doing It

Ok not everybody. But a big chunk of society is. What am I talking about? Just by riding a jeepney through the highway and you'll see what I'm talking about. Have you noticed how colorful streets have been with so many ads and signages compared to the last decade? How many stores of all sorts have popped up along the highway? How young people cram into ONE small establishment near Jollibee Capitol? (hehehe) and How everyone always has something to sell? I guess you really do....people are in to BUSINESS!

I met yesterday 3 of my best friends in high school and college, and oh boy, I was surprised coz they too have their own, say "Sidelines". And they're earning really "good" at it. 

Dro is our hunk with 11 fingers and always has a good laugh and sells custom made jewelry - from gold rings to silver bracelets - for he knows one good craftsman who could closely imitate high class jewelry and customize it to the customer's preferences. He always offer good deals with the price compared to those sold at stores. This guy is quite flexible and open minded always on the go for opportunities. He's the one I'm offering the pig fattening opportunity.

Charles is our Einstein with a sharp nose and totally brilliant mind. Not the typical entrepreneur guy during our school days but now sells well with his memorial plans - in just less than a month!

Gary, the ever careless black businessman had entrepreneurship already in his blood. He might me careless at times but he's quick with cash. Let's just say he earned over 30k this summer while having fun. Not bad for an elementary teacher eh? He and his - Cebu's top 10 most outstanding student - girlfriend, Irish, is quite a fascinating tandem. Both of them are teachers and spent summer teaching classes, giving teambuildings, and selling chorizo (a Filipino-style sausage). Plus all along the way, with his guts and Irish's confidence they've made so many connections through selling cakes, pastries, and their services. As what Kuya would tell me "planting seeds here and there." And lastly, no one beats their frugality - Siomai dates!

 I was so inspired  "Hey, you're not alone", and challenged, "Yes, you're not alone so don't be left behind!"

Hanz, fast track, double time, pull the pressure, be enthusiastic, 36k networth pa tawn ka! Learn from their examples!

These guys have been good friends of mine and it's so fascinating to know that we're digging our own gold mines. It would be really great that we'd be working with each other into something big but right now the best thing is to really focus on our own gold mines, learn from it and grow and be masters of it. And by then we could all be digging together a bigger gold, no, diamond mine!

65 Days to Go - Becoming A Millionaire is Not Easy

I'm tired. Honestly. I'm sleepy too. Today has been a very "low" day for me. I don't know. I just don't feel that I'm getting anywhere. (Impatient..ehehe not jejeje)

Yes, becoming rich is not easy. For Real! No questions ask. Let me enumerate how not easy it is:

- I spend only about 5-6 hours a day to sleep
- I have to read and learn and unlearn and relearn and apply and repeat
- Research and ask and research and ask
- I have to jog 20 minutes a day, lift weights ranging from 20 to 110 pounds at 20 reps minimum
- I have to work on my businesses or shall I say mountains: internet, investment, business, and real estate; and I have to make daily strikes.
- I still have to juggle my responsibilities at work; the hard part is squeezing in my millionaire ventures within it
- From 5x a week movies to once a week
- What is a TV?
- Squeezing your creative juices sometimes squeezes more than just the juices!
- Keeping up with the not-so-cooperative-poor-mindset environment
- Adjusting my millionaire ventures because of work O.T.T.Y - Overtime Thank Yous
- I'm just starting so there are times that when things don't make sense
- Pimples and eye bags
- My 1 hour lunch break is 7 minutes eating lunch and 53 minutes digesting a millionaire book
- Afraid of burnout? Maybe.
- Super pressure! And to think I'm the one pressing it on myself

But upon reading what I've typed I said to myself, "Hey, I made a decision..this is a personal commitment...and there's no stopping me no matter what." Rich people commit themselves to becoming rich not just wanting to be rich. What I've got myself into is an overhaul. Like a pencil being sharpened, yes, it's painful but I need to. There's no other way!

That's why I'm just happy today that I've met again with Kuya and his family. Just meeting them made me feel at home. "Hey, you're not alone in this, " I said to myself. I a settling experience. Plus, they brought me good news on our Feel Great Shirts and another clear-95%-gonna-push-through business opportunity. Now I'm back on track.

But hey, I only said Becoming A Millionaire is Not Easy 
- I didn't say it is Hard. hehehe (not jejeje)

66 Days More - Meet My New Friend: Debts

"Basa-basa ka aning millionaire unya basin inig ka tiguwang nimo di nimo makuha magmahay ka"

"You keep on reading these millionaire stuffs but when you grow old you might not get it and you'll regret it"

Blurted out by mom. A typical "poor" people money blueprint in real life. All the determined millionaire promised to himself..

"Who's saying I can not get that million??? Just watch out, and you'll see"

Money has been a curse in my family most especially in what I call the "Dark Ages" of the Florentino's. Belonging to a middle-class family, ever since I was a child, financial problems has been dominant in our home. Until I got to high school where my parents were literally drowned in debts. And then to college when it relationships come in conflict because of money. And slowly I was programmed of how "deadly" money can be. And most of all, I totally despised and rebuked and super hated debts! I saw how evil it is that debts could've made me belong to a broken family.

However, now as I am in my next book, Creating Wealth by Robert G. Allen even in the first chapter I was able to slowly open myself to the "necessity" of debts to become a millionaire. This refers to investment debts or shall I say good debts that can be used as leverage to help me fast track my first million. I'll share more about this when I get to apply this in the coming days.

My strikes:

-Gosh, I never thought that this old house behind our house which we owned could be a source of income. Unfortunately, my aunt is living in the house, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

-I was awakened the other day by a business opportunity! PIGS! Yes, pigs! My father's friend runs a piggery and a set of the piglets were unsold so he offered to sell it to me then have it for pig fattening. The terms would be that I buy the pig but he fattens it for selling for about 90 days, but I will be the one to finance for the feeds and as it would be sold we'll divide the profit.

The opportunity was catchy and so I asked advice from Kuya, and he told me to study it more. I was really rushing to go for it but the problem was I can only afford 1 piglet!! And so I called up my Aunt Lita who used to have pigs and asked for her inputs. Right then and there he told me not to take it if I'll only go for 1 or 2 pigs. I might end up losing a lot. A good deal would be to get 4 or 5 piglets to have a clear return of investment (ROI) of around 10k and she even offered that she'd be the one to do fattening. Saddened but happy that I didn't get myself into a wrong investment I said no to the offer...just for now!

Looking for other alternatives, I called up a friend, Dro, who mentioned before that he'd go to pig fattening, and offered him to that he'd take the that original offer. Fortunately, he was interested and promised to meet me this week so that we could discuss it more. Oh, we're getting somewhere here...nice!

69 then 68 Days to Go - Analyzing My Net Worth

A Networth is simply the financial value of everything I own. And this is the true measure of ones wealth. From clothes, to gadgets and gears, my money on hand and in the bank and piggy bank (Yes, I have one!) and money in my investments. And do you know how much is my net worth? Actually, I calculated it after lunch and to my amazement I only have 36,050!!! I was shocked, confused, and disappointed. I never thought I'm only that value! huhuhuhu

However, I was appeased as Kuya told me I'm waaaaaaaay better when he was broke and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than most of the people. And so my disappointed became my challenge to really focus more on increasing my net worth. As the life principle goes, "What you focus on more..grows!"

Together with analyzing my net worth is to look into its four sources: Income, Savings, Investment, and Simplification. Let's look into this as to how it runs into my life. Two of which I've already shared: savings and investment. Let's see the other two:

Income:

Honestly, I have a generous salary. I work around 9 hours a day from the prescribed 8 hours and they pay me well. I believe most people would be satisfied with the amount I am receiving per month. Me too, but that was before. I begin to ask this BIG question,

COULD I BE WORTH MORE THAN THIS??

Of course! Millionaires think BIG! I shouldn't settle for less. The ideal working income should be based on results not on time. And to think I am the type of person that delivers BIG results, and I'm sure you do too. And so I am now looking for ways to be paid based on results. But as of the moment, it is not right to resign and start working freelance or what. So this brings me to look into another type of income...PASSIVE income.

My passive income streams as of the moment are my blogs. Of which, I am saddened that my adsense account is still under El Nino. I'm sad that my magicJack blog after working hard and fast about 3 days ago still has no visitors except Jan and Kuya. Sigh! The same goes with Inzpiro, 2-3 visitors a day. Anyway, but still my hopes are high! I'll look more into it. As one of my favorite 7-word-quoute goes...

Never never never never never give up!

I need to focus more on Passive Income at this time because of my schedule at work. I cannot really work big on business or real estate because my work consumes my time badly. (However, I'm starting to work it together. Striking every "free" moment I can at work to look into business and real estate. As Millionaire's think, we choose "both" while poor people choose "either/or")

I'm looking into selling ebooks but I need to work on gaining traffic especially through this blog. What I have in mind is an e-book with the collections of stories for millionaire-to-be's. Or maybe I should look for more ideas.

Simplifications:

Is simply to simply things through simplifying your lifestyle. That simple! I learned early in my career that to succeed financially you have to break the law, the PARKINSON'S LAW: As income increase so does my expenses. And so I learned not to follow it. In spite my promotions I keep my expenses low. No branded apparel, no fancy gears and gadgets, stick to McDonalds, watch movies by asking free tickets, and no junk foods and beverages. However, I few branded clothes but with discount and new fine cuisines once a month would do. The good thing is, aside from the prioritieS I have with my family, I never really had a major problem with money.

70 Days to becoming a Millionaire - Starting the Business

I'm very very very excited becuase we're starting a business! For REAL! Not the repacking of peanuts nor dealing of dried mangoes nor selling nachos to kdis..this is the BIG DEAL!

The "Feel Great Shirt" is really starting to come to life. We had another meeting just tonight with the core members - Kuya, John, Kuya Raoul, and Me. There is no official name yet but we are all eyeing on "Feel Great Shirt". A top of the line thsirts that has motivational and inspirational quotes on print.

Our theme is to keep it simple. Maybe a 1 or 2 colors just to keep all attention towards the text and the message behind it. Fancy shirts now-a-days turns to divert the attention of people to the colors and to the design. But with our Feel Great Shirt's simplicity it will catch the attention of people as they are forced to read the text on the shirt. Then and there can we accomplish our main objective of inspiring people and sharing to the world the blessings we received as we have learned and lived the quotes all our lives.

The highlights of tonights meeting is to state what we can commit to the business. We were to choose from capitals - the start-up money, industrial - operations of making the shirt, and sales/marketing - could be online or direct selling. In my case,, with my 6-day work week and packed 8-hours industrial is a challenge. In capital though, my budget is not yet enough. So I commit myself to help in selling and marketing. Good thing I still have contacts to campuses and universities so this would be my target market.

Kuya still included me as a shareholder however they would take the burden of my capital contribution in the start-up while my first sales would be used to pay them for covering me up. One good deal.

All hopes and energies are focused on this one, but I'm still open for my daily strikes.

Strikes for today:

- I found a good source to get slightly damaged branded watches - lose contact, loose locks, damaged mechanism, lost screw. With the super slash-off on the price this would be an interesting buy and sell venture.
- I'm looking at the possibility of moneylending. I cant avoid the fact that there are times some of my team members would be asking for extra cash for their needs. But, I'm really uneasy on this. Good thing, Kuya promised we'll talk more about it the next time.

71 Days More - Information Business

Information business is simply business that has something to do with buying and selling information. This is very very much applicable in the Internet mountain of wealth. Inspired by this, I was able to make in less than 4 hours an informational blog simply about magicjack. A device that can let other countries have unlimited call to US and Canada. Here's a link to my site Unlimited Calls to US and Canada - MagicJack.

I have greatly improved in my blogging especially in tweaking for good traffic and optimizing the blog to its fullest.This is a good sign, though I am not pretty sure this site will really bring in that traffic, but I was able to harness my blogging skills to the next level.

Never stop learning!

Super multiple streams of income!

Hopefully, this site can bring in good traffic and good Google Adsense sales! I know it will!

72 Days More - The 4 Mountains of Creating Wealth

As I have learned in the book, One Minute Millionaire, by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen, there are 4 mountains where we can create wealth: Investments, Business, Real Estate, and Internet. So in my journey to 1 Million, here are some updates:

Investments:

I already invested part of my savings in mutual funds through PruLife. They type of institutions are way better than banks in terms of interest. They invest your money into stocks in turn increasing interest rates of upto an average of 8% compared to bank's 1%. If you're interested you can contact me and I can share you about it.

Other investments could also come in acquiring learning materials. Though so far, all the books that have helped me through are all borrowed books, I'm planning to invest on them soon when I'll be having that budget.

Business:

So far all I have are ideas but up to date me and Kuya are working on starting up a brand of clothing line that promotes inspiring and motivational quotes. Unique eh? All ideas and plans are still being stirred, I'll get back on this once all are set up.

Real Estate:

Again, all I have are ideas. But as I have mentioned before I'm on live broadcast on anyone who might know someone who wants to sell a house and lot. (Please tell me if you do!) I know they're just around the corner waiting for me to see them. All hopes are up!

Internet:

There are so many ways to make money on the net. But right now, I'm all into earning through Adsense. I have 3 blogs running: Inzpiro, 90 Days to 1M, and a Secret Blog in just over a month. Honestly, cashflow is still very slow yet, but I'm doing all I can to optimize these blogs.

In the long run, (but near future) I'm planning of selling e-books on the net. And if there's an opportunity, provide internet marketing services for clients who need one.   

So what do you think? Is 1 million near or far? So near!!

73 Days to 1 Million - The Search for Rich Friends

Over and over in T. Harv Eker's book, The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, he really stresses that if you want to be rich you have to think like the rich, act like the rich, and be with the rich. And so now, I am on the search for "enlightened" rich people. Why enlightened?? Almost everyday around 80% of our customers where I work are rich people, but I believe only 2 out of 10 of those rich people are "enlightened". Enlightened rich people are those type that respects our salesclerks, humble enough to be kind to us if we commit mistakes, and those that smile at us. While "ordinary" rich people are those that raises her voice, draws attention of people, and curses our salesclerks, our store, even our country, every time she's displeased with just anything.

The logic is very simple, if you join in with those kind of persons you tend to become like them. You'll get to absorb their super positive energy; you'll learn their mind setting; you'll think the way they think and act the way they act.

They're way better off than being with people having a poor mindsetting. Who complains all day and talk of all their problems and misfortunes plus the curses. Can you imagine being with them? Surely you'll end up drain and be like them!

My Rich Friends:

- Of course, Kuya is surely number 1! Totally enlightened.

- Mam Ann. They are regular customers of our store who are super generous! They often give free movie tickets to my team. They own a large catering service here in Cebu. Enlightened? Absolutely. They are benefactors of Don Bosco, they come up with programs that drive money in for the orphan boys.
-Gosh, I think I only have 2 so far. Tomorrow, I'll look for another one. Action!

My Strikes Today

-Mysteriously, Kuya opened up of printing shirts with positive shout-outs, instantly I count myself in! Hey, I am an artist! I have been planning to have a line of shirts with that concept too a year ago. That's when I was able to set up my zazzle site, Inspiro. We'll be meeting tomorrow, stay tune for updates!
-Dro already reported to me the house, unfortunately, I found out those are housing units. Not what I'm expecting, I need houses sold by motivated sellers. But still, I'll keep the details, it might come in handy soon.

Business Ideas

-It popped into my head having another challenge related blogs...Be the fastest guitar shredder in 90 days and lose 20 lbs fat then gain 20 lbs lean muscles in 90 days. These popped while running in the treadmill. We'll see about this one.

74 Days to 1 Million - Action! The Business of Business

ACTION! This is my theme for the day. Aside from the business of work (Eureka! I just realized that "business" which I meant for the noun form of "busy" has the same spelling with "business"!) I was still able to strike.

Back to my Eureka, therefore I conclude, that if you want to succeed in business, you have to be BUSY!! Action! Action! Action! Don't just wait and prepare and prepare, that's defense! We cannot succeed in life if I just sit down and read and learn and read! I need to make action, Attack!! Offense!!

So here are my strikes today...

- As I shared to you that I am an open book to my real estate adventure, almost every person I was able to talk to I try to insert whether he/she knows any house and lot for sale. And look what I've found. One of my  teamleaders is looking for a house! Yupeee! I now have a prospective buyer.
- I also asked my long time friend Dro if he knows one, and oh boy, he does! Actually, 2 houses for sale. I still need to follow him up on the details.
- I endorsed to my gym buddy Amino 2222, the protein tablet I take while working out (ehem, ehem) It's really safe, ain't no steroids. He's very interested though, aside from the fact that I bear the results (ehem, ehem) and thus here's another business oppurtunity!
- I will be visiting Cebu Hardware sometime to see if I can find materials for the Positive Switch Band. I just realized it need not be a rubber band, think out of the box!!

76 then 75 days to 1 Million - Opening the Third-Eye for Business

Oh I miss a post again yesterday, so today I only have 75 days more to make my 1 million.

Last Saturday, that was 77 days more, I met with my mentor, lets call him "Kuya" and his son the internet-wiz Jan as part of our weekly follow-up. Again it was another super learning session but there are some remarkable insights I would like to share.

STRIKE! Always strike every time a business idea or opportunity comes to your mind.

Honestly, undergoing these challenge I am slowly opening my Third-Eye for Business. It's similar to the third eye because as you open that creativity and awareness to the surroundings almost everywhere you can see a business opportunity. My crazy idea of the Lost and Found Center originated from an announcer in the radio talking about a wallet he found in the streets. My other idea was of the Positive Switch Band - an ordinary rubber band that has the power to change people's lives.

What Kuya told me was to strike, so every time there is an opportunity work on it directly! Don't waste a moment. If you meet someone and you'll see that that person is opportunity, strike! Ask a cellphone number, tell your intentions! Chances are, you might not be able to have a transaction with him right away, however, in the future you'll have one with him!

That is why his other lesson is...

Super Multiple Streams of Income

Not just 3, or 4, or 5, but aim high! 10 or 20 or 50 or even 100s! Don't limit yourself! In the latest topic of the book I'm into right now, Secrets of a Millionaire's Mind, rich people think BIG! As in really BIG! We shouldn't stick with the few numbers! If I am comfortable with 15k a month, then I'll always get 15k a month. But if I open myself to, say, 100k a month, then the Universe will help me get that 100k a month. Match this up with striking every opportunity, you'll get endless number of income streams.

Business Ideas Updates:

-I'm airing out to everyone I know that I'm looking for a house to buy and make a deal
-My high school friends were telling me they'd have a little donation in helping out children in Maghaway, a small village up in the mountains near our high school campus. They are planning to give school supplies for the coming opening this June. I was thinking of marketing in the Positive Switch Band and give half to the charity, watchuthink? One good way of tithing, giving back to God what He has given me.

78 then 77 Days to 1 Million

I missed to write on the blog yesterday..awww. However, I was able to write one very amazing application of my learning on the new book I'm absorbing now, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker. Its about Money Blueprint which is basically ones programming or mindset towards money. I made a very controversial example of that learning on my post entitled, Mr. Manny Villar's Financial Blueprint on my other blog at Inzpiro. 

The main theme there was...

The reason or motivation you have for making money or success is vital. If your motivation for acquiring money comes from a non-supportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to "prove" yourself, your money will never bring you happiness.

This would answer why a lot of rich people like Filipino politicians end up successfully unsuccessful.

Hmmmmm..how about me? What's my motivation for being rich?

Freedom! I could really do a lot of good if I have all the wealth. My main issue is simply I have lived a fortunately blessed life and I ought to share it and give back to God and the people what He has given! I grew up in a financially poor family but I was never deprived of love. My mission is to share that love and I can't do it without money!

When I get to have my first million, surely a chunk of it will go to my roots, Don Bosco. It has been my second home where I was able to establish my key life values and really honed discipline. Without the Salesian Community I am not what I am right now.

Anyway, here are some updates on my Business Ideas.

- I have come up with a counter part of the Live Strong wrist band, my Positive Switch. 

- I will contact Dro's friend who plans to start-up a gym coz I think I just have the right product to sell in that gym

- I will follow-up Feddy on how he is doing as the great engineer-mathematician learns programming! Imagine?? We'll gonna be marketing something big!

-Store in this blog my idea of the Lost and Found Center.hehehee 

79 Days to 1 Million

So were are the 11 days?

I spent it reading, digesting, and absorbing everything on the book "One Minute Millionaire" by Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen. My head is really so full of ideas, reflections, realizations and truths and at the same time my body is so revved up that I want to put all of the inputs into action! But hey Hanz, chill or you won't get anything done.

So this is why this blog exist. To help me chill. Put all my ideas and plans into something where I can store it. As what my mentor said, "Your mind is used for creating ideas not storing them."

I won't be jotting down what I learned from the book, but I'll be sharing to the world how I am going to use all those lessons and get me that 1 million!
