Do Your Part: READ

A lot of Filipino people want to become successful in life: to achieve their dreams. A lot want to become wealthy, I bet everybody does. But when you ask them how, most don’t know. I also want to become one, and I’m doing my part: READ. Research. Educate. Apply. Declare.

I am on my way and am very excited to get there. However, I want to have this journey with you.

So do your part and READ.

Research

Of course, before getting into something you must first do some research. Books are the best tools and informational websites are just waiting to be typed in the URL bar.

Here are some of the few books to get you started:

-          Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

-          Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

-          8 Secrets of the Truly Rich by Bo Sanchez

-          My Maid Invests in the Stock Market… by Bo Sanchez

Aside from Facebook, try the following sites:

-          Investopedia.com

-          Richdad.com

-          Pinoymoneytalk.com

-          Prosperpinoy.com

Educate

By reading and researching you educate yourself. However, being in a classroom setting is way better than just self-teaching. InternationalMarketing Group (IMG) has been my vehicle in achieving financial education. Be part of an environment where the people around you have the same mindset: to become successful. There are a lot of groups or companies out there, choose yours wisely.

Apply

What is education without application? After accessing your FinancialStatus, you should apply what you learn.

There are a lot of financial services out there, some of which are:

Health Savings –Kaiser Healthcare

Life insurances – Cocolife

Investments – Mutual funds: First Metro Asset Management Inc. (FAMI)

Investing in Stock Market is highly encouraged. But you must first become an educated investor before getting into it. It will be wise to visit the Philippine Stock Exchange. 

Nothing to worry with financial services, educate yourself, and you'll realize there is nothing to fear. Anyway, the Financial Industry is the biggest/wealthiest industry because it is where the money begins and ends. We just have to know the right choices.

Declare

Declare your intentions, declare that you will achieve it, declare that you will become successful. The mind is so powerful that everything starts with the right mindset.

“Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character: it becomes your destiny.” – Frank Outlaw

These are just few of the many vehicles we can ride towards our success. 

So again, Do your part: READ.
