After having read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and several other books, I realized that I too can be really wealthy should I choose to and work at it, starting with my thoughts. That was about three years ago. That’s why I started putting up my own basketball clinics.
As much as I started progressing economically after having read those books, and for having my mind opened to the possibilities, I still struggled simply because of lack of knowledge on financial matters. No matter how much I made, I always lost it all, and lost it all very quick. I have no vices, except eating. And most of my food comes free. I very rarely buy clothes, because I get it free. We are not a materialistic family. We don’t have any jewelry. So poor money management habits is the main reason why trying to hold on to money was like trying to hold on to water with my bare hands (with fingers far apart)
One day,an old friend from another business made an appointment and introduced me to the creator of create abundance business community. He introduced himself as a “Financial Coach” and they immediately gave me a seminar which taught me about simple money management! It was amazing and inspiring. It reminded me of the feelings I felt when reading the books about wealth!!! I enjoyed it so much, I decided to accept their invitation to visit their community. But not until about a month later, because of hectic schedule.
Anyway, after my first visit to CREATE ABUNDANCE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, I felt like I found the missing piece in my quest for wealth. I found a community which was composed of different people, from different backgrounds, with different professions, but with ONE purpose…to become Financially Educated to become Financially Free!!!
Since then I have been active and have been taking advantage of the Life Entrepreneurship Program, which is basically lifetime learning. I later learned that the Life Entrepreneurship Program itself actually costs around P500,000.00++. Not only that, but I also found out that my wife was also enrolled, when I paid my Education Fee. So it was like a buy 1 take 1deal. I’ve heard that with commodities and stuff, but with EDUCATION? It was a great surprise.
Its going on 4 months since I my first contact with the Community and after many lessons learned and unlearned, hours and hours of laughter, many opportunities to have served and been served, and after having resigned from my main employment of 6 years (Purefoods TJ Giants - Professional Basketball Team in the PBA) all I can say is...
Being part of the Create Abundance Business Community (Family) is one of the greatest blessings I have received and am truly thankful for it and for all the people in it. I cant name you all one by one because we have grown exponentially and I don't want to leave anyone out. But to Master Rovel and Boss Marsel...my deepest expression of gratitude to you, your dreams, your courage to follow your dreams and giving us the opportunity to be part of this POWERFUL THING called CREATE ABUNDANCE BUSINESS COMMUNITY!!!
Keep Love's Banner Floating Over you,
