INTRODUCTION

Fely and I had long wanted to have our own business.  I know you too want to have your own business before you retire. In fact, many of our friends who got their early retirement money, put up on their own business. Unfortunately, more than half of the people we know who went into business, went bankrupt and lost their money.  

Early on in our career in the Semicon Manufacturing we wanted to put up our own business. However, our education set us up for employment. Our family experience also limited us to “sari-sari store” (convenient store) business. It was the business our parents had.  It was short lived and did not even prosper. 

For many years, I and Fely's had a great desire to set-up our own business, but we were not able to pursue it because of our fear of failure. Besides, our comfort zone was employment. 

But in 2007, our journey to our own business started. We are so thankful that with IMG-International Marketing Group. We had been changed and our dream of having our own successful business had come true! 

We are so blessed to be in IMG Business. We want you to achieve the same. 

We want to share in this book our successful transformation from being an engineer to A HAPPY RETIREE an entrepreneur in a business that is Simple Fast Clear and Doable...You Can Do It Too! This is our Conversion Story!

Chapter One: Our JOB (Journey of the Broke)

Image
Fely and I were both first engineers in our respective family. We were highflyers in Elementary, High School and College. Fely graduated Valedictorian in Elementary and is consistent honor student in High School, while I am always in the Top 5 of the class. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering on a Scholarship Grant by the National State Scholarship of the Philippine Government. My studies were motivated by a dream of making it good in school and landing a good job.  My parents wanted me to complete my engineering so I can land a good job in a company. Work on the company and retire in it. After my graduation (just a few years ago…1978 ehem...), I was taken in as an Instructor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Adamson University.  For three years I was in the academe and as fate would have it, this university is where Fely and I would meet and fall in love (I still feel the “kilig” even after so many years… ha ha ha!) My first taste of an indus...

They Thought I Was Joking When I Told Them That I Have An International Financial Services Distribution Business  That  I Start-up Within 24 Hours  For Less Than 9999 Php... Until I Showed Them My Monthly Income of P253,340… PLUS: I Was Able To Generate PASSIVE INCOME! I want to help you increase your cash flow so you can provide for your family's needs today and for their future. I know how it is to be an employee practically shackled and totally dependent   on the 15th and 30th temporary income I received. I know how it feels to be financially struggling and wallow in debts. I have been in that very frustrating and desperate situation, and it is not pleasurable. I want you to be empowered to transform yourself to an entrepreneur, I want you to free yourself from the bondage of employment and be a business owner yourself and achieve financial independence and enjoy your retirement. I know it is also your goal to be a business owner and be financially free wheth...
