Day 27 : Making My Move

Today marks my 27^th day of doing the challenge. I admit I’m starting it a bit slow. A lot of the initial plans were not done. I’m constantly changing the path I’m doing on this challenge in search for that one thing that I really, really love doing.

Upon contemplating and reading Seth Godin books and listening to social media, I really want to make my own online business.

And because of that I have made my move. I’ll be following Seth and Don’s (Social Profit) advice. I created a facebook page for one particular product that I loved and really worth sharing. I’m seeing that we will be having 200 people liking this page by August 1 as I continue posting three to five posts per day. A lot of interactions will be happen on this page as we see people being healed and being blessed by the daily dose of Godwhispers.

That’s my first page.

Second, we are now more focused in bringing more people to the Feast Laguna. Again just like the Godwhispers facebook page we will be promoting the Feast Laguna. Here’s our strategy. We are incorporating the various thank you messages received from the love offering envelopes to have daily posts and daily interactions in Feast Laguna facebook page. We will be placing 10 thank you notes (or 10 inspirational messages) every day. So that would be 50 messages per week then promote the event on Thursdays or Fridays. The goal here is to have five to ten new people per week coming from the facebook page and/or the Feast Laguna website.

By the way, we will be doing audience targeting. How? We will promote on those people who follow Bo Sanchez for both Godwhispers and Feast Laguna (with Laguna as geographical location).

After this, we will be starting to feature another page which contains our own product. I downloaded software to aid me on this so this will be very fun thing to do! :D

Ooops. I forgot to take note that I admire Bo Sanchez for replying everytime I emailed him. He really values relationships. I like that. He is truly a blessing.

That’s it. I’ll keep you posted on the 200 people by August 1. The current status? 192 people to go.

This will be the start of me becoming an internet marketer!

Day 20: The First Mastermind Meeting!

Just got home from the first ever mastermind meeting here in Luzon.

I’m so excited. I’m looking forward to our next meeting which will happen Tuesday next week.

I’m happy to present that we have a future millionaire who is very passionate in SEO. I call him SEO Master Paul Tibayan!

The mastermind meeting focuses on the things that we do on a regular basis: our work, our families, our hobbies, etc. Then, the topic was diverted to SEO. I didn’t know that Paul is a SEO Specialist. I really learned a lot from him.

I really thought what I’m doing for my blog has an effective and proper SEO already but guess what, through the stories earlier I realized I can do a lot more. I can attract more visitors. I can gain more readers. I can gain more friends and the most important thing is I can inspire and reach more people through my stories.

Also, while writing this blog post, I realized I’m part of a team of great internet marketers. We have SEO expert for search engines, we have viral marketing experts for social networking sites like facebook, twitter etc, we have great stories to tell, we have a wide array of products to sell thus all I can say is that we have a great online marketing team. We will be conquering the Philippines, then the whole world because of this elite marketing team.

The ideas are there. The marketing team is there. They are all set.

Nothing can go wrong right? Yes. The only thing we need to do is act. We should act. We should act to promote our products. We should act to learn more about our field of expertise. We should act based on the talents we have. We should act to share our ideas to others. We should act to make things happen.

I should act. What’s stopping me?

See you on tomorrow’s post.

Day 19: Choice requires Action

This morning, I find it so hard to wake up. Well, the typical Monday blues is kicking on my system. I understand myself because I don’t have any exciting things to do at the office today. I’ll just compile and consolidate data, make some phone calls, do some checking at the system which we’re working and eat (the last two are one of the things I love doing at work). Ooops, I forgot. I checked the TVIExpress online and found out not so good stuffs about it. Well, I just recommend you to see for yourself and look for it in the internet.

Anyway, the 7 – 4 working hours went by. I did the things I need to do to finish my day at the office. At 4:15, I left.

I went straight to Edel’s house and shared my stories for the day. The things I did at work and the research I did about TVIExpress. She was surprised to hear about TVIExpress and still we are intrigued about the selling skills our friend has. We really need to see how she sells.

Anyway, after the story, I decided to read a portion of one minute millionaire to Edel. I read this portion to her.

Practice imagining yourself enjoying an abundant lifestyle. All great fortunes started in someone’s imagination. See yourself living in the home of your dreams, enjoying ideal relationships with friends and loved ones, contributing to the world through your own unique talents and abilities. Imagine the fortune you could create and the good it could do. Believe it and you will see it.

We stopped after reading the passage above.

She asked me, what do I imagine?

Honestly, I can’t imagine a thing. As of that moment, I can’t see myself having the fortune I want. I still believe that my psychological wallet could not contain that $1M. In short, the dream does not pressure me anything at all.

Then Edel noticed my silence. And she said that she understands. She told me that I haven’t made a choice that’s why I still can’t imagine my life in the future.

She’s right.

If I already chose a path, with my intellect, with my knowledge, with my skills I can go towards that path of greatness.

My excuse? I’m not living in the city. The opportunities here are not that much as compared to the metro area. People’s lifestyle here is very much different to the lifestyles in the metro. People here do not think financial freedom that much. They still have the employee mindset where in they work for a stable company who will provide them money every 15^th and 30^th day of the month.

Then it struck me. If my friend who lives here in Calamba bought shares in TVIExpress, then they are thinking of their financial freedom. This idea opened my eyes to the opportunity that I’m looking for. I debunked my own thoughts (that there’s minimal opportunity here as compared to the metro). There are a lot of people here in Calamba who wants to be financially free aside from us and my friend is a living proof.

So what’s left for me to do?

Choose from my inventory lists.

I should act based on what I choose. I choose to focused on this three things, Internet Marketing Workshop in Laguna, Wealth Academy in Laguna and Website creation projects.

Act, Act, Act!

A Journey to The $1 Million in 90 Days Challenge: Day 16 - Act!

Yesterday I just have said that I have a focused mind. My mind will be focusing on these three potential businesses: (1) Internet Marketing Workshop in Laguna, (2) International Marketing Group – Wealth Academy and (3) Online Clubs of Bo Sanchez.

Well, for the past couple of days, I’m proud to say that I’m doing my best to focus on these three tasks. So here’s my update.

Internet Marketing Workshop. We have found a venue and we already submitted the photos as well as our assessment of the place. We’ll be looking for additional venue while preparing for the detailed expense and projected income statement for the event. I received a not so good news from Jomar that Bo Sanchez may not be able to promote the event but the good news is instead of 1/3 profit split it will be 50-50 split. Also, the marketing efforts will be a sole responsibility of Jomar and me. This would definitely help me practice my marketing skills. Next steps will be the preparation of the detailed income and expense statement.

Wealth Academy. We have created a website to promote wealth academy. What is Wealth Academy? Wealth Academy is a program developed by IMG CEO Noel Arandilla designed to help Filipinos increase their financial literacy. The site aims to educate Filipinos even if they cannot go to the seminar to attend the Wealth Academy Series. We will be bringing the concepts in their email soon. We’re setting it up in such a way the information available in that site will become viral. We’re looking at 500 subscribers in 15 days after launch.

Online Clubs of Bo Sanchez. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been posting Godwhispers in my facebook page. This time, I’m conquering offline friends as well. This is made possible with the use of my mobile phone. This has been already setup, so in case I found this inside my comfort zone, I’ll replace this with either Real Estate or Book writing. 

One more thing, I’m proud to say that the communication lines in my family are starting to improve. My mom started to open up her feelings for my father. I told her my side as well. We discussed some minor plans on how to improve our situation so we’ll see how things will work out.

Please pray for me. I’ll be very positive on this one.

Okay. It’s getting late.

See you tomorrow! It would be a great weekend!

A Journey to The $1 Million in 90 Days Challenge: Day 7 – Establish Goals and Then Act

It’s 12:12AM. I just got home from a financial seminar with Rex Mendoza of Ayala Land. I learned a lot from his talk. It’s about what’s next for the Philippines.

Generally, according to him now is the time to invest. The market condition is expected to go up but it will be a rough ride.

Once again he suggested that we stick to the fundamentals with regards to investing. First we need to establish our goals and objective why we are doing this. Of course we want to have our dreams fulfilled so we need to plan. More importantly we need to act.

It’s getting late. I’ll be going to sleep. I’ll talk more about this tomorrow.

Getting ready for a super Thursday!
