My 30th Day Voyage: Into the Core

“You cannot cross an island if you won’t sail the sea”, this runs thru me at decision point.

Thirty days ago, I’ve faced the port and had my choice, to be a WIZARD or a WARRIOR. To differentiate, a wizard is someone who likes to speculate and be skeptical before taking action while a warrior is a fighter that takes on the challenge in the quest of seeing the unseen. And what did I chose? BE A WARRIOR THAT BIDDED BON VOYAGE. :)

Now, thirty days after, I haven’t reached the island yet. As my mentors have said, this sail isn’t an easy quest that will give you an instant result but the journey and long-term result will speak for itself. And chronicler as I am, I wouldn’t want to miss telling my reader the story of what I’ve seen and got on my first thirty days of sailing.

If there’s one word to describe it, that’ll be, CHANGE. Change in itself is broad, so here are some of those that I’ve personally encountered:


*** MINDSET ***

Before I’ve met the community, I was aware of the law that states “thoughts become things”.

Most people aren’t aware of this law or some do knows it but rarely do they apply it. In my first 30 days, exercising the power of my thoughts has been one of the great activities I’m enjoying. Now, I’m not only aware but I am reminded and directing it to think like the rich people does. Day by day, I exercise my millionaire and billionaire mind. :)

Remember, your thought is the most powerful thing for it gives you what you feed it. So what I do is feeding it with positive and richness thoughts.


*** LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE ***I’m a professional accountant and as such, I’m usually surrounded by wizards, those who speculate and are skeptical, most especially, they have an “employee” mindset. I’ve used to be quoted as extra-ordinary and weird for I think differently. I knew I was ‘til I found this community, then I thought I’m not a weirdo, I just have a different mind from the usual CPA.

In here, I am surrounded by those who think the way I do, and what is it? Financially free mindset. A mindset that believes that money should work for me and not vice versa. A mind that believes there are greater things to be done, with our most valuable asset called TIME, than spending it 8 hours or more in a cubicle of your office desk.In here, I’ve learned to disassociate and spend less time to people who may disempower my rich thoughts and have started building relationships and network with different but like-minded individuals. Indeed, like attracts like.

As they say, if you want to be beautiful surround yourself with beautiful people so you can learn to be one instead of surrounding yourself with ugly people to stand out and learn nothing. :)

*** MENTORSHIP ***No man is an island. In life, one way or another you’ll need another person that will serve as your guide post that will inspire and teach you ways they’ve got thru learning and experience.

In this community I’ve learned to differentiate “helping” and “teaching”. As they say, “Feeding the fish to someone won’t solve the problem but teaching how to fish will”.

T.Harv Eker have quoted, “If you want to be rich, learn and spend time with the rich”. In this community, you’d meet a lot of mentors and coaches who are wealthy, that’s rich with both money and time. And these mentors serve as my guide post that teaches me (in lieu of helping me) how to have what they’ve achieved.

Here, I’ve learned to be “coachable”. BE=DO=HAVE. That’s develop and grow myself to BE the right person to do business. DO act upon the task and commitments given to me. And as I diligently follow it thru, I’ll HAVE the personal and financial growth and reward I’m aiming for.

Trust is vital in this community for without it, you wouldn’t last.

TRUSTING your mentors is very crucial. Besides, they’ve made it and you’re here to learn from them. And from there, you can apply it as your own and/or create your own blueprint that works for you. :)

*** UNCOMFORTABILITY = GROWTH ***

TAKE ACTION TO YOUR FINANCES OR TAKE ORDERS ALL YOUR LIFE. – Robert Kiyosaki.


Since day one into the core, the tasks were never ending just like the jobs we have to do at work. But the difference is that these tasks are non-routine and usually hits your comfort zone that results to your uncomfortability and growth. New core team like I am are called “Apprentice” for we are still learning to be “Coaches or Mentors ” ourselves. Being an apprentice means we still need to grow. And to be able to grow, all you have to do is have humility to start as a beginner and learn from the experienced mentors/coaches.

To give you a quick idea, I’ve formulated it as follow:

TASK + ACTION + UNCOMFORTABILTY = GROWTH

In here, each task or “job” will result to your growth, as long as you’re coachable enough TO TAKE ACTION.

And from growth, MONEY will just follow.

I personally believe that personal growth is very crucial to be successful for it helps you move despite the most uncomfortable circumstances and nothing else can beat such courage.

*** COMMITMENT AND INTEGRITY ***

My personal goal is to walk my life with integrity. Integrity means differently to different people. But to define it myself, integrity is more than honesty of your words but more of realness of your values, principles and purpose. Once your integrity is clear, commitment follows for you wouldn’t want to spread dirt to your deepest values and purpose. Most people are confused with their purpose that’s why it’s hard for them to live up to their commitments that prejudice their integrity.

In the community, my integrity have doubled and improved more. For they see the passion and pureness of my purpose. It’s easier for me to act on my commitments for I know and live my purpose. And this purpose is what’s keeping me moving forward regardless. :)

*** A MISSION AND VISSION GREATER THAN MYSELF ***

Another addicting part about this community is its mission and vision.

In the past, I’ve been involved into reading and sharing my life experiences and lesson learned thru blogs. But in this community, I do not only write it to share but I speak and teach it day by day.

Making a difference into someone else’s life is the most rewarding feeling I ever felt. Empowering them thru words and modeling are priceless.

Our community isn’t only spreading financial literacy alone but personal greatness overall. :)

If all Filipino’s can attend to this kind of community and gatherings, FIRST WORLD PHILIPPINES is very possible. And that’s what I love about this community for despite rejection of our invitation, we keep our eye on our commitment and mission to move us forward to our vision. :)

*** PERSISTENCE ***

For me, this is the most important change and value I have learned from this community. In the past, I’m one of the people who are scared of failure and rejection. But as I’ve learned, successful people fall 7 times but stands up 8 times.

In the community, this phrase isn’t purely theoretical for I’ve applied it in my reality during the first weeks. In 30 days span, I’ve encountered a lot of uncomfortabilities that if I didn’t persisted, I’ve perished. As they say, “If it won’t kill you, DO IT. It’s better to do die trying”. :)

*** PROFIT ***

Ofcourse, anyone who engage in business think of the profit. Most of my coaches have said that in this business your profit is in direct proportion to your growth. GROWTH = MONEY. Thus explain why the journey to your growth will determine the time of your profit.

In 30 days, I’ve already earned both personally and financially. Tho I’m still not yet financially free but I know I’m not too far from it. :)

It has only been 30 days but a lot have changed already. And to experience the same, I invite you to assess yourself if you want to embrace these three important characteristic that you need to endure being a core team:

1) Be Coachable (have an open mind and willingness to take action)
2) Be success-driven (set your purpose and goal)
3) Be willing to start as a beginner (have the humility to unlearn and learn)

Three simple characteristic, that if you have them, for sure you’d enjoy THE VOYAGE INTO THE CORE TEAM.
