Operation Macau! 30-Days Relentless Run... using 4S's

Just concluded a Truly Rich Makers- IMG (International Marketing Group) Meeting: Operation Macau yesterday. Focus of our learning and planning session is 4S: Structure, Strategy, Schedule, System. Our main goal is to be able to map out how we will achieve in 30 days our individual goals in our IMG Business. My personal goal is to be CEO-MD on or before September 5.... (A Special day for me... But that's not the intent of this blog).

The intent of this blog is to share how we will help move to the next level our team mates in Truly Rich Makers Team. we will support Nancy and Manny Martin, Malou and Vener Torres, Malvin and Matin Leano, and Raquel and Joey Arellano who are our MDs-Marketing Directors, in their journey towards SMD- Senior Marketing Directors. Cristy and Randy Canete, Jerry and Anna Mae Udarbe who are FL to MDs, and all the other members of the Truly Rich to the next level....all on or before September 5!

Before we think of how to use the 4S in achieving our goals, we start by making sure we are clear as to what our goals are and that it is really something we desire. It should come from within. It should be a common goal between your trainer and yourself , but it definitely must be an internal desire. Once that is settled, then you may proceed to do the 4Ss.

Now, how will we achieve this goal? What will be our our tool?

This is what I have proven to work- 4S: Structure, Strategy, Schedule, and System.... Each one disctinct yet inseparable as they are interconnected.

STRUCTURE:We need to define our Structure. And in IMG Business, all we need to focus on is our first 3 Business Partners. We can do the business alone, but we can only have a big business if we have a big team.

Take a look at all businesses all around. It is made up of Organizational Structure. I worked for 28 years in many companies and held different positions and levels and had to make sure I have a solid organizational structure. We need to make sure we like the people we work with.

So, same with our IMG Business. Whom should you hire as your business associates? Of course, the people you are most comfortable with. People whom you would like to help. People whom you feel good about.

If you just started in the business of IMG, or you had been in the business but you have not been able to put up a team, draw your structure, check out the names you have listed. The, check out your feelings if they join you already...If it feels really really good, it will happen (Power of Attraction), and if they are already in your team and you feel good, you have a very strong team.

What your mind can conceive, will materialize if you focus on it and it really is creating good feelings as it is done out of love for others and for God!

For those running for the higher levels, do the same, draw-up your structure and color code it for those who joined already as green and those you would like to be part of your team in red. Again,make sure the structure is simple and is built on MD club teams or 3:3 set up. MD Clubs are strong teams. Build on this simple structure.

STRATEGY: Our Business is simple and our Structure is simple. Just 3:3:30 and if you can do it in less than 7 days, why not?...

And guess what? I also have three (3) things we need everyone to consider in our Strategy: 1.) first is to simply focus on our first three, 2.) then, make sure your first three gets supported and focus as well on their first three, and 3.) lastly, train your associates to be trainers as well.

The first three business associate you will have must be the result of your initial 5 top prospects Field Training. These 5 top prospects must be the results of screening at least 25 names on your prospect list. Get your first 3 business associates within 7 days for fast start and within 30 days for normal speed. Then, ensure you help out your first 3 to get also their first 3. If you have friends who would like to join you and you are already with complete 3 associates under you, get your recruit under your associates. Give it up to your associates so you help them get promoted as well. Do not go wide till you get to MD position.

To ensure that your associates can indeed help their associates to build their team, you need to train them to be trainers. Then this process is repeated over and over again.

There are two ways you become MD in IMG. One is through 30:30:90 Structure or by having 1M Sales. I advise that you set up your structure on MD Clubs or 3:3 and be promoted whichever comes first...Your 30 in your team or your 1 Million in 90 days....(this was way back 2012 when this was originally written)

To hasten this process, you need team of trainers to help you out, thus it is important that you really spend time training your associates to be trainers. Because if you have a lot of trainers in your team, you can invite and present to more people per day. Consider this, it is better and much easier to have 1% of 100 people, than 100% of 1. Not developing trainers in our team and simply relying on ourselves as trainers is exactly our mistake before. We developed ourselves as trainers but failed to develop immediately our associates to be trainers. So we are not duplicated fast enough. Do not commit the same mistake. Create trainers. Develop trainers. Train the trainers, especially out there in the field.

To correct this mistake, we have developed training materials that is so simple,complete, and easy to present. So anyone can present. And, by the way, it is not necessary that you are a good speaker to be a trainer in IMG...no no no... you have to be a doer. In our company, all you have to do is to make sure you execute the concepts you have learned and you just share it with people. Diction, your education, your professional affiliations does not matter much, what matters is whether You Do What You Say!!!.. And training the trainers comes natural during FTS (Field Training). The purpose of FTS is to learn how to train and to earn. You earn while you learn. When you are the trainee you absorb as much as you can from your trainer and then you will pass this on to your trainee when your turn comes as the trainer. We are all expected to be able to train within our first 5 FTS.

SCHEDULE: What we put into our minds, and plan for won't happen unless we execute it. And to execute it based on a defined timeline is the best way to do it. This will give us a way to monitor progress of our plans and goals. Be aggressive with your plans.

In our case, we reset all our time and set up completion of our strategies and plans within 30 days. Then we break down by weeks and then days what should be the outcome.

So if you want to be an MD in 30 days and you are starting from scratch ( zero, nothing), then you need to make sure you go for 8 MD Clubs or 32 people. This means you and your team need to talk to 300 People in 30 Days or about 10 people per day and present to them the concepts. Of course, if you have developed your associates to be trainers, this tasks spreads and your efforts will compound. If you do not have a team, you will do it alone for 30 days.

Then ensure , you plug in the results of your daily activities into your structure chart and points monitoring worksheets (If you do not have this, will be willing to share this to you)...

Then, you,your coach and your team needs to monitor this closely and give feedback. Attend also the team meetings for guidance and sharing of activities.

The last thing to do is to make sure we adhere to the SYSTEM. And in our SYSTEM, there are two things we need to maximize to grow big in this business. These are: 1.) Match-up, and 2.) Referrals... We must not limit ourselves to whom we can reach physically, but whom our team can reach all over the Philippines and all over the world. Do not depend just on yourself. Maximize your coverage through Match-ups and Referrals.

Follow the SYSTEM Flow, Prospect, Invite, Present, Close- Hiring Interview , FTS . Use the Survey forms to prospect, use your FB shout-outs, be on the go! Daily activities. Be relentless!

Finally, after executing the 4S, let's not forget that in everything we do, we must not rely only on our own strength and wisdom. We must seek always the divine guidance of our God and offer back to Him our plans. Do everything in the name of love for HIM who makes all things possible, and love to all the people we will bring into this business.

For further guidance... just email me, or contact me in my FB Chat box and will be glad to coach you more!

God bless us all!!!

IMG SG Convention June 2011- Building Big Business!

IMG- International Marketing Group where Fely and I are affiliated as Independent Marketing Representative had another convention this year at Singapore Suntec International Convention Center in the heart of Singapore City. It was a very well attended event and the speakers are Xuan Nguyen our Head Coach and Chairman of IMG, Vivian Olero a Filipino IT Professional based in California who is just promoted to CEO and one of the top leaders in the whole of USA, and the young and energetic Johnny Mehrian. Johnny is only 26 years old but has a mindset and principles of a 50 year old businessman!

There were more than 300 attendees in this convention who came from all over the world. More than half however,came from the Philippines and from our own team, we were 17. Our (Truly Rich Makers Team) biggest delegation so far in an International Convention.

Above picture shows Fely our Newly Promoted Senior Marketing Director, our Truly Rich Makers Team Banner, and Malou Torres at our IMG Singapore Office. Malou is one of our MDs who were in the Convention. MD Malou and Vener received their Plaque as MD-Marketing Director in this convention along with Quey/Joey Arellano, and Nancy/Manny Martin (Watch out for my coming blog for these very special women in our IMG Team!).Others who were with us are the couple Malvin and Matin who were awarded MDs in our Hong Kong Convention. Our incoming MDs Kiko and Lui De Belen, Hazel Paular, Ybeth Usuraga,Jan Cyril Santos, Jerry and Anna Mae Udarbe, Joy Hilario. See picture below of the Truly Rich Makers Delegation and Recipients of Awards....

I have summarized and written here the Key Concepts I learned from the Convention. May this help you in doing your IMG Business or whatever business you maybe indulged in right now. The principles are so universal that it applies to all kinds of business. It is also timeless. 10 years hence, the same building principles are what can make us Big Builders.

The first speaker was Vivian Olero. She is a Graduate of Adamson University and had moved to California USA on a working visa in 1999. She is an IT Professional and earns well in her profession. Her story is truly inspiring. She was born poor and her parents were poor. But she strove hard to study and she finished her degree, the only one who was able to do it in her family because of their financial difficulty. So when she moved to the USA, like most of us who are well off, her family continued to need her support. The most dramatic need came when her sister was diagnosed with cancer. She needed to have extra income to sent to her family and this motivated her to start as part time her business. She actually invited herself to do the business and she did the business relentlessly without excuses even if she was doing it part time.

These are her winning principles:

- This business not only provides what are tangibles. It also has intangible gains...like building your character... It is not being rich or popular that matters, it is believing in what we do!!

- We need to live by example to our team. We must be 20X better than our team members so we can gain their respect..

- Do this business without excuse to live a legacy to your family!

Here are the Pointers on How to Conduct Your IMG Business:

1.) Do FAST Start! Go deep with new recruit fast before they die.... because they will die fast...

2.) Make yourself predictable! Always go to the meeting and follow the system...

3.) Set your Goals and Hit it! You want to be big in the business... No EXCUSES... as every excuse brings me away from my dreams and goals...

4.) Become a Trainer (P263 of System Builder). In this business , if you are not a trainer, you are dead! And who is a Trainer? ...Somebody who have guts!

5.) Have A Business Work Ethics... Predictable in going to the meetings, have an office, have an Admin Clerk to do your paper works so you can devote more time to do the business, have the machines and technology to help you,and be in business attire!!!

6.) Have Big Vision... The danger in life is not that we set big goals in life and missed it... it is when we set small goals and always hit it...and be satisfied with it....

7.) Don't change your lifestyle.... when you win in this business, do not flaunt your success and change your lifestyle. continue to be who you are, what you are....

8.) If I can do it...You can do it! Believe in yourself...Do not be jealous... emulate...be inspired instead....

9.) Do not compare yourself to the bottom, compare yourself to the top to keep you inspired and going...

The second speaker was Johnny Mehrian. He is the younger brother of Pedhi Mehrian. I wrote about him in my last blog. He is now 5 years in the business. He is a "Karate Kid" ... a member of the USA National Team so beware with your comments (joke only...)

He shared about his experience in his Jr Olympics days... 9 months into training he broke his foot and his "sensei" or teacher/trainer challenged him to decide to fight or not... he fought and won...much the same about life...you need to fight. "Life is a fight...keep fighting"... Photo shows Johnny with (from right to left seated) MD-Malvin Leano, MD-Benj Santiago (Blogger), SMD- Fely Santiago( Benj Spouse), MD-Nancy Martin, MD- Malou Torres, FL-Anna Mae Udarbe, FL-Jerry Udarbe (Spouse of May..) Not in photo is Matin Leano (Spouse of Malvin) who took this photo...

These are Johnny's winning principles:

- Want to win...for your family

- Find out who you are and who you want to be and fight for it...

- Quitting is not an option

- How big and how fast you build your business depends on you..

- In this business, you are not in the fight alone!

- You've got to have a winning attitude all the time!!

- The right time won't come... you have to make the right time!

- Recruit to Build.. Do not just recruit to recruit or recruit to sale... Recruit somebody to build him in this business.

- Trainers must have URGENCY... within the next 48 hours the things you do and you don't do determines if your recruit stays in the business or not.

- Be a Fast Start Trainer... Are you ?

- Treat your new recruit as an MD in the making.

- Hula hoops are same as our IMG Fast Spin. The faster you spin, the more Leaders and Trainers are raised up and keeps going. The momentum picks it up. The moment you stop, everyone drops...

- Always check your bubble chart...your organization...your team...your baseshop

_ Big base mentality.(P190 of System Builder)

Xuan Nguyen our Head Coach and Head Trainer , the author of the System Builder Book provided us with the best training.In his usual fighting mood, Xuan emphatically trained us on the conduct of our business to ensure our success. Here are the excerpts of the points he stressed:

- There are many crisis in the world today. But one big and really closest all will face is the retirement crisis!...because alot of people have problems making money.. If in your accumulation stage you are not able to accumulate money for retirement... guess what will happen when you are going to use the money you should have accumulated before you retire?

- Make money as much as you can when you can.... and save as much as you can...

- We are business people... and we are in business for people (slightly modified)

- Social change not same speed as couple's change

- There is a New World Order... There is a lot of unemployment, Job moves, and is taken away by automation.

- Before, careers makes people rich, but now even doctors, lawyers, and those with doctorate degrees find themselves in financial troubles. Think what can make you rich? Is it career? It is business that will make you rich.... What business?

- Be in a business that is predictable and proven ... Systematized (Franchising)

- The world will go "mass marketing"... you can get anything now on-line.... by yourself...

- The future is : multi task , felxible, fast, motivated, and aggressive entrepreneur!

- Water vs Wood... Fluid that flows vs Solid that isn't free flowing... System Builder is the career for the 21st century..

- 21st century will bring death to Networking, MLM, sales people and Travel Agency... What will survive are real business...

- IMG is a real business...with real product with a proven System!

- Build a big business/big organization with a predictable system... "How many System Builders do you have in your Team?"

- Our Job is to build an MD Factory...

- Think and Grow Rich is OBSOLETE!

- Have a Recruiting Mentality, Fast Start Mentality- Do Everything Fast, Meeting Mentality(Most Important)...you don't show up in the meeting, you are dead, you are not counted in..., and lastly have Team Work Mentality

- Education centuries ago is a privilege...

- Watches are priced possessions and not all can have it in the past...

- Not everyone has TV Set...(My addition)

- Today..KNOWLEDGE is accessible more than ever compared to our past.

- Today, it is not all about Knowledge, but how to USE this knowledge...doing something about it..

- What good is a PhD if you are dead broke?

- The middle class is fading, the business class is emerging. Business Class are those who have KNOWLEDGE and follow it up with ACTION...

ABOUT RECRUITING:

- Most people want to join...some don't...So if you want more recruits , invite and talk to more people. Check your statistics. Generally factor in 10%. Use law of averages. Large population, large possibilities...

- You are always one recruit away from explosion...

- WHY: Define your compelling reason .... your strong reason to recruit and do this business...

- HOW: Combined EXCITEMENT and URGENCY...

- GOAL: Define your WHY and HOW with DEADLINES....... be GREAT!!!

ABOUT MEETING:

- Meet twice a week...

- Meet to retain people

- Selling is short term, while meeting is for long term....

THE WINNING GAME:

1.) You must have or create a STRONG REASON to do the BUSINESS. The CAUSE...Your PURPOSE!

2.) You must have a BIG Goal...

3.) Write it down and read it everyday (like what Bro Bo suggest we do in our BIG Dreams)

4.) Have a deadline...

5.) Do the business everyday!

6.) Reward yourself/your family if you hit your goal!

7.) Stay POSITIVE- Stay DISCIPLINED (Physically and Mentally)

8.) Be TEAM PLAYER... (Look up to everyone in the bigger team as well...the entire IMG is our TEAM all over the world!)

9.) Always lead by example....Stay in Front...don't just talk...Show....

10.) No EXCUSE... be relentless.....

THE INVENTION OF THE MD BUSINESS:

- It's a profitable Business

- It's "duplicatable" and Big Business

- It is build to last....

Our BUSINESS is SIMPLE CLEAR FAST and DOABLE !!!!

You have to have....

VISION- No vision you will perish... Your success depends on the size of your vision...

MISSION- A man or a team with a mission is a strong man or team...(like Truly Rich Maker's Team)

SYSTEM- Requires a lot of DISCIPLINE. No system small business...with system...BIG Business...

ENTREPRENEURSHIP- Be a businessman... requires a lot of work, a new habit...it's tough to show up early and stay late... answer phone call, and emails ASAP... Dress SHARP!!!

What a wonderful LEARNING EXPERIENCE...it is always different to be present when the Master Builder and Head Coach shares his wisdom...and always exciting to hear success stories from our leaders from the USA!!!

See you all in Macau on September 25, 2011!!! We already have booked our flight!!!....

God bless us all!

Winning Business Models...

The list of Filipino Billionaires had been published once again today in this page...http://http://www.inquirer.net/

Looking at what the top 3 Billionaires (in US $) have as a business... There are three things that I see they have in common...

First thing is that they have a business that is a One-Stop-Shop. They have all they need within the same group of companies. They have banks where they can borrow money for their investments. They own their construction company that builds their establishments. They have their own retail store which also has everything people will need. In short, a self sustainable conglomerate. In reality, they also By-Pass the Middleman as they get their needs from themselves.

Another is that they have Multiple Outlets all over the Philippines and some of them even globally positioned. They build many outlets to reach out to as many clients/customers.

These multi-billionaires are in their 70-80's and have accumulated their wealth across the decades. They make their billions work for them.

So if you want to be billionaires, we can pick up from this model. In IMG I see this business opportunity. You do not need to have billions to have the same business model. The income however, is definitely not far from achieving multi billions given 40-50 years.

Let's be happy billionaires too!....

God bless us all!

To "Buffet or Not To Buffet" What is Best For Us?

In my latest blog on http://makemoneybyinvesting.blogspot.com I quoted a blog I had read about the validity of the "Buffet Method of Investing". I also talked about the latest strategy of Bro Bo which combines the proven methodology of Money Cost Averaging and the aggressive way of Day Trading.

We can take the best of these two worlds and combine them together. But one thing is certain, we must ensure that in any of these two or combination of both, we must ensure we get all pertinent information on the trends of what we are investing. If the stock pick you have is trading well within the boundaries of the max-max and min-min or what connect the most number of maximum share values for max-max and the minimum share values for min-min or in technical terms the thresholds, then this is a good candidate for Money Cost Averaging. Otherwise, it is good for Day Trading. When to get in and out, requires you to monitor status so that you can watch and see the trends which will be the basis for your decision to buy or sell.

Well, if you don't have the technical know-how, nor the time, go for the proven method. Better yet, just invest on Mutual Funds and let the Fund Managers do the monitoring , analysis and movements of your positions.

If you are into Mutual Funds, you just need to consistently invest. In other words do the "Buffet Method" of not timing the market, but just be disciplined in your investing.

Financial Security: What We Really Ought To Know!

Achieving Financial Security is what everyone would like to achieve. But what exactly does it mean? What do we really need to know and do?

So let me try to simplify this to be easily understood and executed. Financial Security is achieved when your passive income is more than what you need to support your basic needs which includes food, clothing, and shelter, plus your health care needs such as medications, regular check ups, dental care, and hospitalization. On top of this, your passive income must also be enough to pay up cost of education for yourself and or your children.

You must ensure you have enough funds to face up with any emergencies in life which includes home repair, car repair, and many other needs. Normally, we can allocate about 3-5 months of your monthly expenses.

To complete your preparations, you need to make sure you have insurance protection for yourself and for your properties. You must have yourself and your assets or investments such as your home , car, and the contents of your home including your jewelries, furniture, and valuable appliances insured against natural calamities, and burglary. It is highly recommended that we get insurance for acts of nature including earthquake, and flooding especially here in the Philippines where we get a lot of typhoon and earthquake visits every year. Get some insurance against burglary in case your area is high risk for unauthorized intrusion, or in simple terms, if there were any risk of break-in.

Passive Income is what we need to measure versus our needs and versus our active income. Passive Income are income you generate such as Royalty Income, Investment Returns, Rental Income, Management Overrides, and any other source which you are receiving without actually working for it.

You can only achieve Financial Security if your source of income is secured. And the only way you can secure your income is if it is passive income.

If you want to get coached how to achieve Financial Security, just send me an email.

God bless us!

What Investment Instrument Fights The Habit of Spending?

The habit of spending can only be countered by habit of saving and investing. Habits are formed by thoughts or beliefs and ways. Since childhood, we are already trained to be spenders. 

To be able to get out of this habit, we need to learn new habit of saving and investing. Final fix will be to be able to achieve the DISCIPLINE to Save and Invest. There are many instruments to use to use with their corresponding advantages and disadvantages.

Putting money in your savings account requires you to have discipline. You can be successful depending on how strong your emotional why or why you want to save and invest. But, money in the bank is easy to pull out and therefore is a weak instrument to use to create the habit and discipline. Furthermore, the interest rates are less than the inflation rate. Savings deposits earn less than 0.5% and are taxable while inflation rates are now at about 4% and higher.

Putting your money into stocks or mutual funds are your other options. These requires not just discipline but know-how on the technicalities and analysis of what stocks/equities or companies to buy shares from. The discipline factor here is also at great test as this instruments requires you to decide for yourself when and how much you will invest. The rate of returns are high as the risk of downtrends are also high. Moreover, the temptation to take out investments is always there too.

Another instrument you can get into are cooperative shares that are in salary deduction mode. This will ensure that you are forced to save and therefore eases out the requirement to discipline yourself. However, cooperatives normally do not have high yields or interest earnings . And just like investments that are placed on banks and stocks, normally, this is also easily "withdrawable" in the form of coop loans and coop withdrawals.

The best instrument you can get into is something that has due dates, something that you cannot withdraw until it matures, and something that is tax free and has rates of 8-10%. In our company there is an instrument that we have that you can have for as low as `3000 per month (depends on your age and needs) and you save and invest for just 7 years and you have fringe benefits of free annual PE, 2x/year dental care (cleaning and extraction), and has waiver of installments if disabled or worse case dies. It is really very easy to achieve the habit of saving this way as the discipline is built in. And the best thing about this instrument is that , no matter what happens, you can really complete your 7 year saving and investing time frame. This will ensure your 7 years of practice will develop the new habit of saving and investing and will ensure your success.

I pity those who really has all the intention to save and invest but do not make it consistently since they either use the wrong instrument, nor does not acquire the habit or discipline to save and invest. . Check this out to see what fits you http://6020hf.imgcorp.com/quote/kaiser

Happy investing....

COMMISSIONED to MISSION with COMMISSION!!!

THE ETYMOLOGY OF MISSION AND COMMISSION

COMMISSION:

(kə-mĭsh'ən

The act of granting certain powers or the authority to carry out a particular task or duty.

With a sales commission serving as full or partial recompense for the work done.

MISSION:

(mĭsh'ən)

An inner calling to pursue an activity or perform a service; a vocation.

OUR IMG MISSION PROCESS…

M- e… It starts with our own self introspection. Who we are, where we are right now, accepting everything who we are and committing to change from within. We cannot begin with our mission if we do not begin with our self. “We cannot make a difference for families until we help our family first.”- Xuan p 310.

I-mplement the concepts first with our self. Do with our-self first what we will share to others. Realize that others will not just listen to what we will share but look at what we have done to ourselves and changes we have made. If we start to share the concepts which we ourselves do not do, we are no better than a lying and shrewd salesman who is not after the MISSION but the COMMISSION… Implementing or doing what we share makes us powerful witness and a living proof to what we will share to others.

S-hare the concepts relentlessly and with pride. The more we share, the more we empower our self. The more we resolve to have what we preach happen first into our life. The more we commit our self to what we preach and share. It is like a self fulfilling prophecy and a cementing process of what we truly believe and do. But again, we can only share what we really have experienced and continue to experience in our own life. “There are so many people who say they want to help but they hardly move. In fact, they can’t even help themselves.” Xuan p311.

S-trive hard, struggle, stumble, suffer, survive…. We are relentless. We do not count the cost. We are shielded from any hurts by focusing on our MISSION to share the good news of Financial Literacy and Planning. We even suffer as we get rejected by people close to us whom we thought trust us enough or whom we thought as our true friends. All this only make us look forward to our resurrection. Survive this phase and we are on our way to success! Most people fail in this stage of the IMG Mission. Most people quit at this point as there is not much to cling on as the commissions are still low and the hurts are too great. This is the tipping point. This is the decision stage. We either win or lose but if we persevere and survive this process we WIN! And when everything seems to fail and nothing really pull us up…we look up to the heavens and just LET GO and LET GOD! “Victory belongs to the most persevering” Napoleon Bonaparte

I-nspire others to do the same. It is good that we pass the struggle stage, but it will be more fantastic if we inspire others to do the same. It is even more fulfilling to help others succeed and be true to the mission. We need to inspire more people to be IMG missionaries. Once we get into this stage, we become unstoppable. We will know that we are able to get into this stage if others look up to us and follow our examples. To sustain this, we also need to look up to our models, people who inspire us to go the next level. We get inspired to inspire others. We read books, read the Bible, watch inspirational movies. We attend IMG GT, conventions, trainers training, and listen to our leaders’ success stories. Be inspired to inspire… this brought us to our next level.

O-rganize our Mission Teams… Prepare and equip our teams. Train them on the System Flow. Commission them to do the mission by having weekly meetings… check our teams where they are as to the M I S S I… and make our teams aware that M I S S I is not a one-time process but a cyclical process. Always send them by pair. A Trainer with a Trainee. We NEED to build our team and organize to recruit more members to the team. We cannot do it BIG alone. We adhere and follow the System Flow and We Do it as a Team!

N-on stop activity… The MISSION never stops. There are a lot of people who needs our help. A lot of family whom we need to bring to the right way of saving and investing. A lot of families we need to change lives. We need to do regular follow up to our members and client. We must continue to update our prospect list. Set our targets and monitor our progress. We have to make it as an objective to move from PART TIME to FULL TIME and do the Mission nonstop. Within two years we were full time in IMG. We list up all our associates who need to run for FL, all FLs who need to run for AMD, all AMDs who need to run for MD, all MDs who need to run for SMD, and onwards… Nonstop.

HOW DID WE DISCERN IF WE ARE FOR THE IMG MISSION

1. Do you want to Help your Family?

2. Do you want to Help others?

3. Do you want to work with teams?

4. Do you love to do 1-2-3?

Our answers to all of these questions are resounding YES… We are for the IMG Mission.

Then, we prayed long and hard for this. Is this the kind of business we want? Are we fitted to this? What will our friends and associates tell us? What will our parents say? What will our children think? Will this make us successful and happy?

After all the soul searching and discernment.... We made a decision... this is for God's greater glory, this is to help families remain intact, and this is aligned with our passion and competency...we will go for the IMG Mission full speed!

“Seek yeah first the kingdom of God, and all His righteousness. And all these things shall be added unto you…” Matthew 6:32-33

SHARING of OUR CONTINUING JOURNEY and MISSION

We do not want to claim that we already have achieved our goals and are perfect! We are perfecting our way to our own mission…We continue to hurdle our own struggles…We also continue to get inspiration from our leaders so we can inspire our own team. I would like to give special mention to Sir Manny and Mam Shirley San Miguel who from the very beginning of our IMG Career had given us so much inspiration, encouragement and help. Help that does not even wait for any recompense… a true missionary couple.

We started with IMG in November of 2007 after attending Bro Bo’s Truly Rich Coaching Seminar. At the beginning we were merely interested on where we can invest and save the retirement money that Fely will get from her separation from Intel. We wanted to simply know how we will manage the lump sum Fely will receive. We did not consider, at least me personally the mission and more so the business side of IMG. After several months, with the help and coaching of Ms Ojing, we put up the Dasmarinas Cavite IMG Office as a mission area to bring the concepts to more people in Cavite. We practically spend more for the rentals than what we earn in the business. My business logical mind tells me, what are we doing? Why don’t we just invest the rental money and earn interests from it. We continue to do the IMG Mission and by November of 2008 Fely was promoted to MD and that’s about the same time we have started to consider more seriously the business side. Just the right timing as our heart for the IMG Mission has already grown and the income or commissions also started to come in. We continue to share the concepts to many people, from churches to schools to offices to homes. We were nonstop. We faced a lot of rejections and people doubted us but we persisted. Fely was full time while I was doing IMG Part Time.

Getting promoted to MD drained us a lot and we failed to focus in training new leaders in our team. We failed to duplicate ourselves and struggled once more as our team disappeared and practically left just the two of us. But, we firmly resolve to continue and by January of 2009, we decided to be both Full Time in IMG. There is no more turning back. We set our sights on building our team locally and off shore.

We reviewed our strategies and set up our team meetings and align our activities to the System Flow.

In 2010 we were able to promote two MDs and on 2011 we are looking forward to promote 6 more MDs one of whom already is on the approval loop. We are also looking forward to the approval of Fely’s Promotion to SMD and onward to NMD within the next two months. We are continuously striving hard to train, organize and build our team and creating more leaders MDs who will help us spread the mission.

We also have put serious efforts building long distance and off shore. We have teams in Dubai, Singapore, and now establishing our Thailand and Vietnam Mission Teams. With God’s help He shall complete what we have started!!!

FIND YOUR COMPELLING REASON TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN DOING IMG MISSION

One of our reasons doing the IMG Mission is to donate 5M by 2015 to Bro Bo’s Missions…

How about you? What is your compelling reason? What is your emotional why you would do the IMG Mission? If you have not identified this yet, better do the 10 top reasons why you want to be successful doing IMG Business. Create your vision board. This is your anchor to the mission when the goings gets tough.

ALIGN YOUR PASSION AND COMPETENCE

Identify your Passion. What do you like to do most? What makes you happy doing? This is where your passion lies. Check this out. See if it is something you are doing in IMG. My passion is to share my own experience, train and develop leaders. I find this happening with me in IMG and it makes me truly happy.

Check out your competence. Do you have competence you can put into good use in IMG. For some people it can be as simple as being a people person. Meaning, you have good interpersonal relationships. For me, my training and my experience hone my training skill which is something I put to good use in IMG. We do not possess the same competency. We possess varying degrees of competency in a particular skill. Knowing our competency or “kung saan tayo magaling” with the competency of others makes us more successful in IMG.

Develop yourself. Everything can be learned and learning can be from everything. We enhance our capabilities by listening and emulating from our leaders, our mentors our coach. We can hone our competency by reading books, and watching inspirational movies.

BRING OTHERS TO THE MISSION

It is good to be in the MISSION but it will be best if you can enroll and bring others to the mission. The more people who joins you in the mission, the bigger your expected commission and the more missions you can do which in return brings you in more commissions. This is the true test of helping others. If you do not bring other families to the mission your success is just one half. You can only touch several people by yourself but can multiply that by having more people in your team. Train more missionaries. Duplicate yourself. Follow the System Flow on Duplication.

XUAN’S IMG MISSION STATEMENT

Our Mission is to make difference for families, to help build wealth for families. Our crusade is to share with people our financial concepts, so they can increase their cash flow, manage their debt, create emergency fund, provide proper protection for the family, build long term assets, and preserve their estate.

“Make a wish

Have a Dream

See the Vision

Live the Mission

Follow the System

Build a Team

Be Somebody”

MISSION COMMISSION CURVE

In the beginning, yours are pure mission as you may even have to shell out your own money to do the mission or if you have any commission, it is less than what you need even for your own saving and protection. The more you do the mission, the higher your degree of commitment to the mission and the higher your commission will be.

FIDELITY TO THE IMG MISSION

There will be a lot of trials, rejections, denials, and sufferings ahead… Much like the Paschal Mystery of the Lord. But there is always an Easter Sunday to look forward too. Thus we just have to be true to our mission and be faithful with it. The easiest things to do is really just QUIT and leave the mission especially at the beginning. This is exactly why there is a need to be nonstop in the mission for people will come and go. We need to show by example our faithfulness to the mission. We have to persevere and have fidelity to our IMG Mission… “He who began the good work in me, will be faithful to complete it” Ph 1:6

True Riches Is Stored Not In Earthly Barns....

Early in life we are always trained to compete and be first and be better than others, be richer than your neighbor. A continuous "upmanship" versus others including your siblings. But this is not going to get us to "True Riches".

In the Gospel, Christ washes the feet of His Disciples. He is the Master, the Teacher, the Leader, and some even regard Him as their King and yet He removed His outer garments and started to wash the feet of His disciples. An act that is reserved to the lowest of the lowest class of servant in His time. He did it so that the Disciples would duplicate Him and do the same to others.

This is a revolutionary concept that baffled the disciples. Even the most vocal and considered as the apparent left hand man of Jesus got confused and refused to be washed. Their concept of leadership is still of this earth.

Much is the same with most people in regards to building wealth or being rich. We are bombarded through media that to be rich and famous means you have to have power, and you have to have money to lord over your subjects and peers. Our concept is to be better than others, to be higher and richer than others and making sure they do not overtake you or overpower your position and riches. A selfish pursuit of power and wealth. This is what most people take as a path and this wont lead them to True Riches.

True Riches is only achieved by serving others to be rich. By changing peoples lives, by leading them to the right way of saving and investing. But you have to start with yourself. Yes you start with yourself but not stop with yourself. You model the way to others. You have to start with yourself and then give back to God what is due Him. Then share with others starting with your family and friends how to accumulate true wealth. Unselfishly duplicating yourself and making others rich as well, even richer than yourself. In this way, you surely wont just accumulate riches you need in this world. You would be able to store not just riches in your earthly barns but for sure you are storing wealth in heaven.

In the company (IMG) we are in, this is our Mission.... we store True Riches!!! Join us!!! We are the Truly Rich Makers.

Earthquake and Tsunami did not stop our Thailand Mission

A double whammy hit Japan! Earthquakes shook and topple structures and caused Tsunami that delivered the second blow which destroyed and practically wiped out one town in Japan. We watched this grim reality unfolding on the TV screen on the second day of our Mission in Thailand to spread Financial Literacy. We see massive destruction, and enormous difficulty of hundreds of thousands of people, probably even millions in spite of them being the most prepared country in the world!

This event unfolding in our midst while we were away from our own home and family made us further resolute in our mission to spread financial literacy among our fellow Filipinos to prepare them from a similar double whammy in their financial life.

The Mission had been organized through the efforts of Rachel Jane Dolido ; a school teacher in one of Thailand’s private schools. She is graciously supported by Fr. John Tamayo-SDB ; Parish Priest of Mary Help of Christian at Krungthep Kritha (pronounced with silent R and very nasal), and Maria VonRufli. We were with Nancy Martin ; one of our Marketing Directors, and Menchie Castro an Associate. We had our Seminars given for free on 3 different venues. One in Fr. John’s Parish, another in the UN Office in Thailand, and on Maria’s place.

Every day in our mission was a grace filled day! We had the opportunity to hear mass every single day. Though the language was in Thai, we understood the flow, and commune with the Lord. We also enjoyed the hot and spicy and tasty flavors of Thai food, soups, and desserts. We were given very comfortable accommodations on the Parish complete with kitchen and meeting area. Basic needs all provided for by Maria our generous host, and Fr. John our new found spiritual guide and mentor.

But what make this Mission extra special are the people we met. We really thank and praise God for Fr. John Tamayo. I see Jesus in him! He makes me proud I am a Catholic. He has countless stories to tell how good God is , and how he was used by Him. He has graciously offered his parish guest house for us. We also thank God for Maria who has shown us how to love others without condition. I see in her, our Mother Mary for she is very prayerful and always invoke the Holy Will of God in everything she says and do. She took care of our needs, and even added a bonus; an authentic Thai Massage to cap our activities. We were really blessed to be welcomed by Fr. John and Maria at the airport. It’s so nice a coincidence… Maria and John: the Mother, and Most Beloved of Jesus!

We also met with Babie Muangsiri who hosted our seminar at the UN. She has been in Thailand for more than 20 years and has been employed with UNHRC. A wonderful woman inside and out. She continues to help her family here in the Philippines.

The Filipino expatriates we met were hungry for financial literacy and how to actually execute it. Some of them are facing their own financial earthquake and tsunami so to speak. A majority of them have extended family needs here in the Philippines which they also support. Mostly teachers in various schools there in Thailand. We opened their minds to our prosperity formula Income- Tithes (10%) – Savings (20%) = Expenses (70%). We also showed them investment opportunities to enable them to achieve their financial goals and transform themselves from active income earners to passive income earners. Likened to building a house to withstand big earthquake, we showed them the proper way of building a solid financial foundation that can withstand any eventuality. Even a double whammy like major hospitalization and worse even death of the bread winner can be prepared for. We performed financial check up and coached them to come up with their own personal financial plans so that neither financial earthquake nor tsunami can topple them down.

We felt very good and blessed as we are doing this for Him who provided us with all our provisions and made this mission possible! To God be the glory forever!
