Although my posts might be influenced by the daily happenings in my life, most of it would be simple thoughts that crosses my mind, questions that I have which I cannot answer, facts that I have discovered, and opinions and beliefs that I want to prove or, have already been proven.

How my mind was Opened-up

"You become what you think about." - Napoleon Hill
"What you think is real becomes your reality." - Robert Kiyosaki

I believe in the saying:

"The difference of who you are now,
and who you will be 5 years from now is
the people you surround yourself with;
and the books that you read."

It makes a lot of sense. I am convinced. And I have decided.
I decided to surround myself with people who have a winning mindset.
I refuse and ignore Losers:

  • People who pretends they know everything

  • People who know all methods that WILL NOT work

  • People who know all things that CAN NOT be done


The most dangerous question that stops you to succeed is..
"What If....?"
It hasn't even happened yet, but you already see the failure.

Risk is everywhere! There are risks driving a car.
But why is it that people still continue driving?
Because they know how to drive and they know they have control, knowing that there can still be risks.
Indeed, nothing is risky.. if you know what you're doing.

The question "What If..?" actually happens because of the presence of ignorance. Because they do not really understand things, people pretend they know it and says
"I know that! It's not for me. It will not work. It's too risky!"

Again, what you think is real, becomes your reality.
If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you can't.
If you say things like:
"I'll never be rich."
"I can never afford it."
"I just want to be okay."
"Money is not important."

...then guess what? It becomes your reality. And it's all you ever will achieve.
-- You will never be rich
-- You will never afford it
-- You will just be okay
-- Money will never stay


My mind was opened because of my quest for purpose.
So good is the information I acquired that I feel it's a waste if I dont' share it.


If you would like to have the same reality I accepted.
You may find the ways that helped me change my context work for you as well.

I will recommend the following Books.

Start with Rich Dad, Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki
It will teach you the Accounting Subject in reality terms.
It will start you way to thirst for knowledge..
Knowledge you never got from school.

Then I invite you to play one of the Cashflow Gatherings.
There are a lot of groups that does this for both fun and learning.
This game will show you how your life revolves around your job and paycheck everyday.
It will open you mind about the opportunities that are scattered everywhere, but it's just that you can't see it. In playing this game, you would meet people with the same desire you have. The desire to succeed. The desire for wealth far more than money can measure.
Surround yourself with people who have winnig mindsets!
If you are interested to attend one of this, message me and I'll schedule you.

Next, read the Cashflow Quadrant - Robert Kiyosaki
It shows you the 4 different classification of people and allows you to decide which quadrant you would like to get your income and how you gain it:
You work for money, You own a Job, Your Business works for you, or Your money works for you. This books also shows the 6 types of investors and allows you to assess your life if you would like to change the type of investor you currently are.


The third book, I would recommend is
"Why We Want You to be Rich." - R. Kiyosaki and D. Trump
This books would give you an idea how rich and successful people think and why they think that way. Some ideas will also open up on how you could succeed. This book would make you realize that "It doesn't take money to make money."

Having your minds opened up to the reality of your life, then you will begin to fathom for more contents. However, you may still have doubts and fears.

FEAR as defined is False Expectations Appearing Real
You can read all the books in the world to get their contents, but you will never acquire the wisdom if your context remains the same.

If you want to get rid of fear, then change your context.
The book "Retire Young, Retire Rich" - Robert Kiyosaki
can help you with do just that.

If you read these with the burning desire, then you are ready to commit to yourself and declare what you will become. A book that could help you with this is the
"Think and Grow Rich" - Napoleon Hill
The six (6) steps to success is given here. Simply following the steps will allow you to gain riches you never dreamed of, and accomplish any task you want to accomplish.
This books is the foundation of The Secret. Secret that has been used by successful people throughout history.

If you want to know what the secret to wealth is, then you may also want to try
"The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" - T. Harv Eker
The key to being a winner, is having a winning mindset.
This books will show you what and how that mind can exist.

Learn Money Management and apply the principles of the money jars.
Managing is not budgeting. You may attend seminars and discussion that helps you become more financially responsible with your life. You may also join a community that has a mission to empower people.


The community I joined does just that, and they offer Wealth Courses that are FREE.
If you are interested, message me and I can help you reserve a seat.

Lastly, take actions!
You can't do the same things over and again and expect that one day, you wake up and everything's changed.
"Talk is Cheap. Just do It!" - Nike

You can't learn to swim by reading books. You have to jump into the water! A lot of people want to go to heaven. However, not all of them are willing to die. You didn't know mathematics when you were young. But you studied, sometimes you failed quizzes/exams, you practiced, and you now you know Math. You can apply the same principle in acquiring wealth.
You don't know how? You know not where to start? Then study, but just like Mathematics, you need to practice. Expect failures and learn from it. That's how you really learn.

Another book I would recommend is Rich Dad's "Guide to Investing" - Robert Kiyosaki
It's not a How-To Step-by-Step to get rich quick book. This is a guide. It can help you make good plans and blueprints of your road to success.


There are other good books around. But these books are the ones I started with.
If you can spend time watching tv, chit-chatting with your friends, going to parties...etc...
Things that makes you poorer, both mentally, emotionally, financially, and even spiritually, then why can't you give yourself time? Why not have time for your future?
Use your time wisely!

Never in my life have I understood "TIME IS GOLD!" more than now!
Since you don't have money, then time is all you really have. How do you plan using it?

Here is one of the favorite videos I've seen that can show you what I'm talking about. Who do you choose to be? Bruno or Pablo? :)

Will you focus on the income you earn right now and splendor on its buying power? Or will you do what Pablo did, carry buckets, but not wasting time and start building pipelines.

You are the master of your own fate.
You control your future. And you are great!
You deserve more! You know it!
Make a decision. Do it fast.
