and the adventure continues...

i'ts been a while since my last blog. i've been into so many challenges that made me decide to stop writing. but here i am again... life does not end there and i have to continue pursuing my goals and my dreams.

the vision of being on the top is now very, very clear to me. and my drive to conquer the mountain of success is now blazing in my heart. i know it's not easy but i have to do my best. i know God will lead me there and i know He will strengthens me.

my first business failed. my business partner left me and i'm buried in debts. but this will not stop me from going and i will continue to fight 'til i get there. i'll fight for my family, for my wife and my three kids.

i scheduled monthly payments for my debts. good thing they gave me good terms.
i invested in mutual funds and stock market even in small amount.
and now, i'm engaged again with another business.

though i've been to three MLM companies and i once said that this is not the right business for me,  but now i'm into it again. but this one is special since i know now why i failed and i now know how to deal with it.

next post, i'll share to you by business. God speed always!

if i will have a million

if you will receive a million today, what will you do?

me, here's my grand plan for my million...

1. the 20% or 200T will be given to various church and non-government institutions as a form of tithes:

a. Caritas Manila - is the lead Catholic agency for social services and development in the Archdiocese of Manila and a lead provider of technical assistance to social service and development ministries in the five other Metro Manila dioceses.

b. Love-a-Parish-Program - is a centerpiece outreach program of the Greenbelt Chapel (Sto. Niño de Paz, Makati City), which aims to aid hard-up parishes with monthly grants.

c. Gawad Kalinga - is a poverty-reduction and national-building movement lunch by Couples for Christ (CFC), a Catholic lay community, to care for worse-off Filipinos and survivors of natural disasters.

d. Anawim Lay Missions Foundation, Inc. - is a home of 55 abandoned elderly plus a few orphans and physically and mentally handicapped persons founded by Catholic Lay Preacher and Best Selling Author Bo Sanchez in Brgy. San Isidro, Rodriguez, Rizal.

e. He Cares Foundation Inc. - is a Christian non-profit organization that helps extremely poor street children in Metro Manila by providing basic needs like food, clothing, education and medical assistance, as well as spiritual support. it was founded by full-time lay missionaries, Joe Dean Sola & his wife, Ardis in 1996 at 11 Acuña Drive, Philvirra Homes, Project 8, Quezon City.

f. Tahanan ng Pagmamahal Children's Home Inc. - is an organization that provides love, decent food, safe and clean shelter and other basic necessities to orphaned, abandoned and/or neglected children. It was founded by Rey Ortega located at 146 st francis street, bgy oranbo pasig city

g. SMFI Scholarship Program - is the flagship program of the Simbayanan ni Maria Foundation that caters to the educational needs of deserving yet underprivileged youth of Taguig City. it is founded by Rev. Fr. Anton C.T. Pascual

h. Philippine National Red Cross - is the premier humanitarian organization in the country, committed to provide quality life-saving services that protect the life and dignity especially of indigent Filipinos in vulnerable situations.

though 20% is too little, it can still change and support people's lives.

2. the 30% or 300T will be allocated to finance my existing business--the computer sales & services. it still needs revolving capital and payment of existing loans.

3. the other 30% will be used to fund the creation of my new business that would compliment my existing business--a computer & internet shop.

4. the 10% or 100T will be used to purchase additional balanced fund from my mutual fund provider. this will serve as our retirement fund.

5. the remaining 10% will be deposited in a bank and will serve as an emergency fund.

there you have it.

so, if there is anyone out there reading this blog with lots of millions in his/her pocket and don't know what to do, you can share it with me and let's do this together. :)

God bless!

let's dream big!

what's holding us back from becoming big? most often than not we only think small. that's why we only grab small opportunities. God gave us wings so that we could fly. fly like an eagle. don't listen to those chicken around us telling us that we are like them. that we can't make it, its too risky. you know the story.

but who really is can stop us from flying? no one. all we have to do is to dream high, dream big, focus to our vision and mission even though there's so much distraction, be brave and don't hesitate, follow our instincts, flip our wings and let it go!

last january i listed all my to-do this 2008. and to date i'm happy to announce that most of my wishes were accomplished. here it is:

1. we invested in mutual funds through Sun Life Financial. i met ms cynthia martinez, a SLF agent, in one of Bo Sanchez' Truly Rich Seminar. we scheduled a meeting, discussed the details and then we invested. last may we made our subsequent investment as follow through.

2. i'm currently playing online stocks trading through Accords Capital's Philstocks.Ph. i'm currently losing since the market is low but its alright, it's just temporary. hint: this is the right time to buy stocks because the prices are down.

3. we acquired an education plan for our two children from Prudential Life. we just want to ensure their education expenses when they grow up.

4. i'm now a member of Simbayanan ni Maria Development Cooperative. the number one cooperative in Taguig. kamay-ari na ako!

5. i got my driver's license from the Land Registration Office Pasay District Office in Roligon. i can now drive hehe.

6. last but not the least, i created my own company in partnership with a friend-- the Citiblitz Computer Sales & Services. my dream is to sell one computer for each Filipino. wow! it's really big! hehe last july our gross profit reached +30k and this month it doubled already. yes! oooppss... we haven't computed our net yet. hehe

someday this company will grow and we will expand. we will create computer/internet shop/cafe. we will have repairs and service center. of course we will have a computer store where walk-in customers can shop whatever their needs. and then we will branch out...

all of this i can attribute to my dreaming big. i will not stop even when i fail but only when i'm done. don't block the runway because the jet plane is now ready to take off. please don't delay cause i'm building an empire!
