Money Machine Part 1

This is just Part 1 and I would most probably not write about this topic consecutively so please follow my updates.

I learned in John Calub's Money Magnet Seminar and I've read in so many books and articles that the secret to gain tons of money is to feel rich, look rich, talk rich, live rich, etc. Let me just say that being rich is not evil. Let's not be drowned in the concept that the rich are evil and they just rip off the less-fortunate. Even the Bible says that God wants us to prosper. Money will not make you evil for as long as you did not earn it in an evil way and you do not use it in evil ways. Pay it forward and be generous once you have the wealth.

I know someone who earns more than a million a month in her spring roll (lumpia, a Filipino delicacy) business. She has a small stall in a posh mall and sells in bazaars too. This girl I'm talking about is younger than me. I'm 26. That makes her 25 or younger. More than a million a month. Spring rolls. Imagine! She studied culinary arts abroad which makes other people think that's how she made it. But I'm sure lumpia is not something she learned in school. I think she knows and she lives The Secret. She has recently purchased a unit in the most expensive condominium building in Metro Manila. She's 25 or under. So how does she sell? Aside from the obvious that her spring rolls must really be very delicious, it's in her packaging. Not just the packaging of the spring rolls but how she presents herself. Even if she's in a small stall in a bazaar or in the mall, when she comes to visit her store which is most of the time, she looks her best. She wears her best clothes and jewelry, she talks to customers in a very professional yet friendly way, she simply acts like a millionaire all the time. So the millions come to her non-stop! If she can do it, why can't we?

I used to work for the BPO industry for quite some time years ago. Dressing up is not really common in almost all the offices I've worked for. Just a shirt, jeans, flip flops or sneakers are okay. I can still remember a few people who come to work in jogging pants or shorts. This is not unusual in that kind of setting. You see people like this in the office everyday, and I was one of them. Those days, my mom would always tell me that I have to dress up more for work. She said that if you dress like a boss, you'll feel like a boss, then you'll become boss. I never paid attention. I wish I did. My mom knew better. She was Vice President of a big bank before she retired. Now I know what she means.

From now on, let us all feel rich, look rich, talk rich and live rich. We won't lose anything if we do that, right? Let's just make sure that we still know how to differentiate these acts from just plain arrogance.

Money Magnet Seminar

I've heard so many good things about John Calub in the past. It was last year that I started looking for schedules of his seminars then I thought that no matter how much I want to go to his trainings, with my financial situation, I can never shed a few thousands just for a day's talk. One day a couple of weeks ago, I tried checking his website again and found out that he had a Money Magnet Seminar the day after somewhere in Quezon City, the usual Php 8,000 ticket now only costs Php 250! Too bad, I saw this before midnight and the seminar was 8 AM the next day. Again, for personal reasons, every single thing I do that requires me to leave the house needs to be planned ahead of time. At least a day before. But in this case, I had about 8 hours to prepare! So I let it go.

The next week, my mom excitingly showed me an ad on the newspaper. The seminar will be the next Saturday, at SMX in Mall of Asia, only Php 250 Buy 1 Take 1 if you have an SM Advantage Card. Of course, I got a ticket right away. I couldn't sleep, I was so excited. I have read that Mr. John Calub is the #1 Success Coach and that he has produced more multi-millionaires from his seminars than any other Filipino trainer!

The day of the seminar arrived. March 19, 2011. Mall of Asia is quite far from where I live so I woke up at 5AM and left the house before 6AM to make sure I get to the 8AM seminar on time. I got there at 7AM. There was already a long line outside the convention center! Of course I didn't line up. I didn't intend to sit on the front row anyway. I had breakfast first and when I got back, they were just starting to allow people to enter. 

All participants of the seminar were given an envelope that contains the certificate of attendance for the seminar, a pen and a workbook. Cameras are not allowed, but before that was announced, I managed to take a few pictures. I sat in the back row and just to show how big the place was and how many people were expected to come, here are some pictures:

I was in the back row center, and right in front of me is this:

I didn't expect the venue to be packed because it was already past 8 AM, but by the time the seminar started, it was jam packed! There weren't any empty seats and the host thanked the 4,000 people who attended the seminar. It was amazing. And every little thing the speaker said was valuable. There wasn't any boring moment. Anyone would surely enjoy the seminar. Absolutely anyone. I'm sure no one got bored. 

I do not consider myself an expert after attending that seminar, and I would still suggest for readers of this blog to personally attend one of John Calub's trainings. I have read so many articles and books and spoke to so many people who encourage success but this training gave me that true sense of urgency that I would have to start immediately! If they can do it, why can't I?

I will be writing more about the seminar in my future blog entries. For now, please do check out these links:
