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!
