But how do you gain this knowledge? Schools rarely teach it. Families hardly talk about it.
Unfortunately, unless you understand the power of money, you can't put it to work for you.
But navigating the maze of things about financial can be a confusing journey. People simply don't know where & how to begin … and they are scared to seek financial advice as some group may take advantage of them.
Realizing that the need exists for widespread FINANCIAL EDUCATION, IMG established the Wealth Academy, a training series in the areas of Financial Planning & Management, Entrepreneurship, Investment Strategies, Investment Vehicles, Winning Principles, etc.

Once, I was asked,
"What is the strongest feeling in this world?"
And without any hesitation I replied…LOVE
WRONG!
The answer is FEAR
Fear of rejection, fear of what people will say,
Fear of failure, fear of uncertainty and the list is endless.
Why is it very dangerous? Because it has many faces, it is very subtle, it is like a deadly virus creeping in one's mind, body and soul….results….
Paralysis!!!
It can enter through our five senses and will come out in our face, in our eyes, in our mouth, in our hands, in our feet, in our pee, in our sweat, and in our own eyes.
WE BECOME small.
There are 365 days in a year, and its amazing that the BIG BOOK recorded "365 FEAR NOT", ONE FEAR NOT EACH DAY.
KEEP YOUR EYES IN GOD, FOCUS ON YOUR GOAL, FOCUS ON YOUR FULL POTENTIALS AND ACT, AND SURELY, FEAR WILL DIE NATURALLY.

One of the keys to financial freedom is to create a "Golden Goose"
where you can eventually live off the "eggs". It was Aesop, who told a tale with a moral core in "The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs".
A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose that laid a golden egg every day. For a while they were happy and lived well. But then they became impatient with how quickly they were accumulating their wealth. So they thought that if the goose could lay such a fine egg of gold, it must be lined with the precious metal. If they cut the goose open, they could get the gold all at once. Of course we all know what happened, the goose was just a goose and there was no gold inside. For Aesop, the moral of the story was much wants more and loses all. There is also a hidden message in this tale, - true gold comes from the process of creating.
Look after your Golden Goose. Never Mistake the Egg as the Gift. We have become a society that values things more than people. It is often joked, tongue-in-cheek that you are only as good as your last accomplishment. That is the ultimate lie. We are not a collection of the things that we do, the sale that we make, or the goal that is conquered. You are the gift. You are the Golden Goose. The egg is just the last thing you created.
Wherever you are right now in your life, please stop for a moment and hear this truth. The true gold lies not in the outcome or accomplishment, it is in the process of creating. When you give yourself a little space and care for the Golden Goose inside you, you will once again lay a golden egg. Don't worry, there is nowhere to go, you have everything you need for the blissful life you desire. You just forgot where the true gold lives — inside of you.
Financial independence is a journey. And like any journey, if a person wants to travel from where they are to where they want to be, they need to know where they are starting from, where they want to be going, and the options of how to get there. And if they've never been there before, they need a map, even if it's only used as a reference for when they lose their way or the planned road is temporarily or permanently closed.
What people are looking for is a roadmap to prosperity. That roadmap will differ from family to family and individual to individual. Each family has its own situation, needs, values, priorities and definitions of financial freedom. Furthermore, families and individuals want to educate themselves in how money works without being dependent on their bank, their insurance agent, or even their financial adviser. They want to be able to make their own choices for their own journey. And most want "enlightened" financial freedom - to achieve abundance without compromising their integrity, their values, their happiness or their friends. They want to understand basic financial principles so that they can develop "golden eggs" from their own financial freedom "goose".

The Wealth Academy series answers this need to learn about financial literacy. It is not anymore something that only a few people know about. This knowledge is now made available for people from all walks of life. Before there is a saying that "the rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer". This happens because financial education before was made available only to those who are capable to spend money on financial advisers and the like. Now, we can not say that anymore.
EVERYBODY can be rich. We just have to find the right environment, to learn and apply what we have learned. It is not our fault if we were born poor or less privileged. But IT IS OUR FAULT if we die poor. That means we have not done something for ourselves and our family. We must take charge of our future NOW! Let us not procrastinate and wait until it will be too late.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO WIN!!!!! JUST KEEP ON FIGHTING!!!!!

RESURRECTED BECAUSE MY DREAMS CAME ALIVE!!!
by: Jaime Lorenzo
Finding your Purpose in Life may be the most important discovery you could ever make. I was blessed to discover it three years ago. Today, at age 28, I have made it as my personal mission to educate people about financial literacy.
This is what I believe: Financial ignorance is a major cause of poverty. To put an end to poverty, we have to put an end to ignorance.
In the past three years, I have talked people from almost all walks of life—high income earners, low income earners, managers, employees, teachers, lawyers, doctors, OFW's, seafarers, businessmen—and realized that no matter how big (or small) our income is, if we don't (or don't know how to) manage our money well, we will eventually lose whatever we have.
We need to learn how to handle our hard-earned money, regardless of the job, profession or business we're in. We need to set goals for our money because others are setting their goals on how to get it. Learning the ropes about how money works is simple. Coming from a medical field, I can attest to that. I repeat. Becoming financial literate is easy…as long as we devote time and effort to learn. Most people want financial success, but it's also interesting to find that most of them are unwilling to invest time for their financial education.
I have many friends working for big companies, here and abroad. They make good income, nonetheless. I often advise them to look beyond where they are right now. Making money is good (and fun too). But making money without saving part of it, making that saved money grow and work for you, is useless.
Realize this:
You could have a good, secure career in Singapore. Life in Singapore is, of course, important. But Life After Singapore is more important.
You could have a high-paying job in Dubai. Life in Dubai is important. But Life After Dubai is more important.
You could be an executive for a top company like San Miguel Corp. Your career there is important. But what's there after your career that's more important.
I BELIEVE in the importance of having a Financial Plan—a roadmap that will take us from where we are to where we want to be. Without it, we will never reach our goals.
I BELIEVE in the need for Financial Literacy. Without it, we will end up working hard for money for the rest of our lives.
I BELIEVE in the need to develop Discipline. Without it, success in any area is not possible.
Finally, I BELIEVE in Entrepreneurship. We need to sharpen our Entrepreneur mindset. Without it, our chance for financial freedom is far-off.
I found the things that I believe in and I'm putting my life to fight for it.

The Wealth Academy training defied the holiday on Monday, April 7 "Araw ng Kagitingan".

Its an exceptional turnout of participants in Series 1,2,3 with a total of more than 200 participants.

Although, I'm not a member of IMG, I would like to invite you to my blog as I talk about investments, entrepreneurship, personal finance, and achieving financial freedom.
In fact, with its success, it is now the number 1 in Google for the key phrase 'Aspiring Entrepreneur'.
