CHANGE YOU

Getting rich begins with the right mindset, the right words, the right plan.
-Robert Kiyosaki

We can only change our lives if we change- ourselves and our mindset. A lot of people hate their jobs. Some feel that they are not being paid enough. Yet they stay. Yet they are too busy to look for a new one or to find something to augment their income. The problem with Filipinos is not the lack of opportunity, it's the lack of drive. A lot of people want to be rich, but they won't go the distance. They are not willing to pay the price. They would rather shop, watch TV or sleep.


We had a convention in Tagaytay last August 15, 2008. Bo Sanchez was at the lobby (Taal Vista Hotel). He joined our group and attended the IMG Summit, not as a speaker but as one of the participants (He sat infront, listened and took notes like everybody else).

Later on I learned how Bo got involved with IMG. I was amazed because it was so simple. He sat next to one of our leaders on a plane, they had a conversation. He invited Bo to attend the seminar. He came to the office, attended the seminar and joined (and he refer us to his readers and seminar attendees). So simple.

As far as I know none of the people I invited are as famous, rich or busy as Bo, but I had to plead and still get all kinds of excuses. It’s disappointing but I guess I can not help people who won’t help themselves. Bo knows how to say yes, he makes time and he is open to ideas, that’s why he is truly rich!

Xuan Nguyen said the middleclass are the hardest to change. They are comfortable where they are. They are voluntary prisoners of their average lives. They have dreams but won’t go the distance. They are content where they are.

The middleclass-
Top of the bottom,
Bottom of the top,
Cream of the crop?
