Are you this employee who keeps on working but cannot
save for his future? That after working
at night you just thought of going home and take a rest. That you’re routine is
just work-home-work and no work life balance. Well, I can relate.
Here is my long story; it might help you -
I am an employee in one of the multi-national companies
here in the Philippines (I am not bragging because it’s true J). I am now 4 ½ years old in the company (Loyal, huh!). For the past 3 years, though I can
say, I am earning an average salary; I don’t have anything I can be proud of.
How could that happen? Maybe because I am helping my parents support my younger
sister in her studies. Maybe because I don’t know how to save. Or maybe because
I don’t know how to manage my finance.
After 3 years of stay in the company, I come to realize I
don’t have anything. I come to realize I will not be an employee forever. To
include that I am a little bit envious to my colleagues’ who were able to save.
My gush! I can’t be like this.
Sooo, I start searching into books and the internet
(thanks to google and yahoo) – I look for some tips in savings, investments,
business and the likes. Also, I have a
friend who happens to be an avid reader of Bo Sanchez so I borrowed the book. I
forgot the title of the first book of Bo Sanchez that I read but it does
mention on the book about How to be Truly Rich. To cut the story short, I
continue reading some of the books of Bo Sanchez and I even attended one of his
seminar in Mandaluyong. I could say, it
did not ONLY change my financial mindset
but also change my negative outlook. Thanks to Bro. Bo Sanchez.
This is one of the lessons I learned from
the seminar:
Why do
I want to be rich?
Because I want to be able to invest in love.
To have the luxury to do the things I love,
things that I am passionate about.
To have the time to spend my days with the
people I love, my family and friends.
To have the capability to share my blessings
to others, to spread joy and love to those who need it.
Bro. Bo as well mentioned on his newsletters about Jomar
Hilario, Bo’s guru in Internet Marketing. This is what I’m currently studying
into now. I like the way the lessons presented. It’s awesome! You might want to subscribe. It’s free. Go to http://www.jomarhilario.com/
I would like
also to include here the site I found that helps me a lot, a site for saving
tips, investment and businesses. Visit http://fitzvillafuerte.com/
Yes, this is
how I am learning to be financially free. I am searching for mentors. I am
doing a replication of what our mentor’s did. Am I enjoying it? Yes, very much!
If before I just go home and sleep after work, now, I thought of searching and
thinking of topics or ideas to blog. If
before, it’s ok if I don’t have to save, now I am addicted to save at least 20%
of my salary. I’m starting now and you should do the same. J
