Chapter Four: The Fast Simple Clear and Doable IMG Business

I did not even treat this as a serious business. In the onset I also did not see the immense size of this business! Fely and I finally saw the immensity of this business in 2011, when we attended our company’s convention in San Jose California, USA. 

More than 20 thousand people attended from all over US and Canada, and from Asia. In that convention, we have met people who are ordinary people who shared their success stories in the business. It inspired us and opened our minds to do more or this business. But what really is this IMG business?

IMG is a financial distribution company. As a business owner using the IMG System Fely and I are independent representative of a One-Stop-Shop of Financial Services. We represent various companies in different fields of service:  the top 5 Mutual Fund Companies (Soldivo, PhilEquity, SunLife Financial, ATRAM, PAMI), top 5 Real Estate Development companies (Ayala, SMDC, DMCI, VistaLand, MegaWorld), and many other refutable and solid companies. Note: These were the company partners of IMG when this book was initially written.

 

We act like a broker dealer of all the financial services companies that were accredited by IMG, so we earn the commissions ourselves for all our needs and for our families and friends needs as well. Our broker for Mutual Funds is Rampver Financials. We have in-house brokers for the Philippines Top non-life insurance, and real property companies.

We also have access to direct stock buying and selling through MyTrade On-Line Apps of Abacus Securities Corporation (abacus-sec.com). It is one of the leading stockbrokerage houses in the Philippines.

We are empowered to DIY (Do It Yourself). We simply by-pass the middleman or the agent for we are the broker dealer ourselves. The best thing about our IMG Business is that it is our own business:  we do not have a boss, we do not have quota, and we do not have timecards. 

It depends on us on how big we want our business to be. But our coaches are always ready to help us become successful. We do not earn by recruiting like what other networked business do. We do not personally handle the investments. We just simply share objectively to our families and friends, the advantages and disadvantages of each of the investment vehicles. We point them to what companies they can get into. We educate ourselves and pass on the knowledge to our family and friends.

We share our own investment experience, what we do, and what we have achieved. I just share my own experience on the companies that were scrutinized, studied, and accredited by IMG.  We let the client decide. With IMG, we do a more objective assessment of products, and services. We are not beholden to any single company. We can offer what is best to the client. We simply provide Financial Education and sound Financial Check-up.

We earn from our own safe and correct investments. We earn from building our business all over the Philippines and all over Asia. What we earn in business is combined active and passive income. We earn passive income generated by our properly guided and solidly founded investments. In fact, after 4 ½ years, our investment income enabled us to fund our children’s education, and our travels to Europe, and Holy Land. We earned from our investments more than 15% compounded per annum in the last 9 years from 2008. 

We love to travel so we were able to even combine business with pleasure. We travelled to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau and build our business outlets in those countries. 

Our company is an international company. It allows us to do business in many different places in the world.  We also travel throughout the Philippines from as far as Cagayan in the North to Davao in the South and build successfully our business outlets in those places too. 

We share what we do, and train people to be their own financial advisers, and help them set up their business. When we started this business, we have Nancy and Manny Martin, Malvin and Matin Leano, Malou and Vener Torres, Randy and Christy Cañete as our business partners. 

We were all from Cavite and were former Intel employees (except for Randy and Christy). We were all retrenched from our company. We have varied business experiences, but we all decided to pursue the IMG business. From that January 2010 Strategic Meeting to January of 2013 (3 years of serious business focus), we achieved our business goals. We formulated and executed 5S: Structure, Strategy, System, Score, and Schedules in making our business big. 

By 2013 e were able to create more than 65 outlets helping these 65 Team Mates set up their own business and, in the process, enabled us (Fely and I) to earn passive income in different places of the Philippines and Asia. 

On our 8th year in 2015 we were able to sign up in the business more than 11,560 Members all over the world in 23 different Countries, and more than 30 cities in the Philippines and growing bigger each day.

In July 2017 Malvin and Matin are EVC-Marketing Directors,  Nancy and Manny are CEO- Marketing Directors, Malou and Vener, Randy and Christy are Senior Marketing Directors who are also building their outlets in different places all over the world. We have already promoted 309 Senior Marketing Directors out of our 16,931 Members!

They are all helping us be of help to thousands of people encountering financial difficulties, like we were before. Using the same business system of IMG, we are continually setting up our franchise outlets and we earn royalty incomes. We have 13 ways of earning and all are defined by a system and the commissions and earnings are computer system generated and can be monitored anywhere you are in the world. 

Our company boast of the best compensation system in the financial services industry.

Our final consideration in getting into the business is the capital requirements. 

The business options that I studied required more than half a million capitalization. And so we are so amazed and could not believe that with less than 10K Php, we set up and start up our own financial distribution business.

 

With that amount we became broker dealer for our own needs. We start up with our own proper saving and investing. What surprised us even more is that, even with just our own needs, we could already recover our capital. So, it was a no brainer decision, making for us to plunge into the business!

On my point of view, I consider IMG Business not just as a financial services distribution business. It’s a business of changing people’s lives, and we earn by helping others properly save and invest. 

I love this business for it is a business of love. What has love got to do with a business? When Fely and I executed our financial strategies that IMG has coached us to do, we made sure that whatever happens, our family will survive because we love them. 

On the other end, since we also love ourselves, we made sure that we invest properly and safely for our future. In doing all these financial strategies, we earn our own commissions from our own needs. Our very own love needs. And since we care and love our extended families and friends, we simply share what we do. That is how simple the business is, and it is all about love.

After 5 1/2 years of doing the business, we reached six figure monthly cash flow. It is even better than what we have gained as employees for more than 25 years. We have a passive income that is more than our retirement needs. 

We are truly blessed to have found the IMG business. Our own business that allows us to travel and monetized our competencies and passion, a business we can put up in many different places in the world.

A business that is quick to set up with very little capitalization, smacks perfectly with this IMG Business. Join us in this business so we can reach out to more people, change their lives, achieve their dreams, and make them enjoy the rewards the business offers!
