Here's a thought...

Some people are looking for a 100% guarantee from me that they will succeed.
There is no such thing. In fact, if someone presents you with such an offer, you
may want to run in the opposite direction --- if it sounds too good to be true it
usually is.

Many factors fall into place - the greatest of which is you may choose not to put
into practice what I teach you. I have many students who are like that. I can guide
you in the right direction. But it is still your choice if you want to go there.

Sadly, we Filipinos lack a spirit of courage and entrepreneurship. I don't need to
convince you of this. Just look at the state of the country's economy. Poverty is
still high. Yes, many things are lacking. But the saddest part of all is that a lot of
people have simply stopped trying! We have to remember that the people who
are truly free from problems are those that are buried 6feet below the ground.

My suggestion? TRY!

I give out a LOT of free advice in my site. Yet very few have actually done something
and / or applied them.

Honestly, it's the people who've invested in my products and seminars that have
become successful. Why? Because they're the ones who've DECIDED to actually
DO SOMETHING. They're the ones who are eager to maximize their learning. At the
very least, they are putting in effort to recover their investment. Can you HONESTLY
say the same if I gave you something for free?

Let me repeat that, I have a lot of free information in this website. I encourage you
to avail of them. Use it too as a gauge of how much more you can learn if you decide
to join my seminars / workshops / etc.

Last but not the least, PRAY! If you have a leading to try this out, then do it. If you
think God is leading you elsewhere, then go there. But DO NOT just sit there,
do something!

Why? Because time is ticking. You only have one life to live. Live it remarkably!
