Patience is a Key to Success (day 12 -day 14)

What comes to your mind when you speak of Patience? Wikipedia defines patience as the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without acting on annoyance/anger in a negative way... NOSEBLEED!!! Anyhow my kuya defines patience differently. When he speaks of patience, he speaks of love and time. When there's love there's patience and there is also time. Last 3 days... I was a work-in progress about this seemingly typical word, yet hard to appreciate. To define what is patience!!! let me give a comparison about my father(poor dad) and my Mentor(Rich Dad). My childhood life never ought to let remember patience, that's why I'm a hot tempered guy. I grew from my fathers hell like treatment. He never have patience because he made everything in flying colors. He would let his brain blew away when he speaks about education. Yet a testimony to the word failure, he does not have patience to learn simple ways of life but appreciates the patience of Calculus books and throws books away that discusses about success in life. He was selfish... He did not have the time to give to us. I just remembered him bringing food in the house. He gives to us the ordinary foods and the special ones are left only for him... He did not have any patience. While my Rich dad was completely opposite, he have a lot of patience. He treated us like his real children. He'd teach us principles and lessons about life each time we see each other. He'd spend more time on us just talking, sharing, laughing, selling, and doing business. He even cooks food and gives the special ones to us and the ordinaries are for him. I did not know why but he was a man full of patience. Instead decreases his value growing his age... He even appreciated in value more and more. See the difference? It's just that one simple word that distinguishes everything. My test this week was presenting our sales letter to Networking companies all over Cebu. I just realize how many wonderful and others life threatening companies Cebu has. It was really patience.... other companies won't even let us in, others were like hungry sharks ready to consume you anytime, and others were really patient having the time to listen to us. To shortcut this events I could only say that the ones that were patient and listen to us thanked us and the ones that did not.. were like zombies, passing away the opportunity.

Wax on Wax off (day 11)

Life as it seems so easy when you have teachers in reality that really guides you to success is a false thinking. Because it's not easy to find that teacher... I'm just so lucky and privileged to have this wonderful mentors on my side(my two Kuyas, Tito Tony, Janmck). Now here comes the news... I thought it was already easy when you have this mentors... but it is really like walking through a road of burning coals!!! Following their rules, advice's, pressure, and lessons. You need to keep on doing things that you might not have even encountered before and you might even question yourself... Shacksssss!!! But again I remembered ( a speeding arrow pierced through my Subconscious mind) a part of a movie from a seminar I've taken from the Money Magnet Seminar which was really a learning frenzy thought by the No.1 Success's coach of the Philippines himself!!! From Karate Kid Movie(old version). It was the boy who trained for "Kung Fu" but practices in an unusual manner as to the other kung fu students he have seen. Just following his mentors advice without asking anything even though he was like not learning something for days.... Until the day came that he questioned his practices that there was no Kung Fu on it! But as the master attacked him he was using the techinques to deflect the masters attack and even attacked!!! You see... Life is like that, sometimes we don't notice the little lessons He gives everyday but the truth is. We are really learning from it... Just as the kid learn his attacks by waxing on and waxing off the floor...

do NOTHING (day 10)

I started to wonder whether am I really doing the right thing because at the end of this month I have studies to get through with again... I know that I don't like studies, and I really like to play with business. But in my situation where my Mother comes in the middle where she really wants to let me finish a degree but I really don't like to go to school anymore... I mean... I've learn a lot from it but reality strikes me that "after school there's more than just theoretical application here". Life is the teacher, we are the students.. So why decide to wait and know life after studies when you can harness and live life at this exact time. Traffic started to bug my mind... too many cars, so noisy... But no I said to myself, I know what I'm doing... Intuition guides me!!! So I decided to DO NOTHING... Yep, later did I know in that evening that I was in the right path... "I' on the right track baby, I was born this way!!!" -lady gaga

Team gets To Success (day 9)

I just remembered the equation for Success and Wealth from the book; One Minute Millionaire... Dream + Theme + "Team" = Success... "no man is an Island" famous quote from the common people of the society, yet is very True to life. I've come to realize that whenever a person is Successful... They always have a group of people who supported them. It maybe there families, friends, and business partners who have come to join forces and achieve success. And now here it is... A year ago I was a man full of dreams and wanted to achieved all of it. But, it came to me with all by myself, it would really take me no more than hundred years to achieve it. Like I was Guko from Dragonball Z that I could live for 200 years. Impossible!!! So the ugly event happened... I badly wanted my dreams and decided to really work hard on it.. But it turn to be a failure... I thought I could make it by myself... And then the answer came. I found myself sitting beside this wonderful group of people dedicated to pursue there dreams of being successful. And yeah!!! Recently I'm one of them; The Radical Millionaires!!! and.... This persons were like me... We share about our dreams and encourage everyone to pursue them. Talks in all positive words... Men!!! I'm really in It.... and also found myself EARNING more on financial, physical, emotional, mental, relational. ahahaha!!! Love this awesome group of people. Special thanks to Janmck and Lovely Hilado, Joel Earl Melgo, Ashley, and all of the RadMil's!!! done with one step!!! still looking for the 2!!!

Culture does Work (day 8)

Last Monday, I just remembered the word Culture... what does culture do to your success? This... Early afternoon, we and our Radical Millionaire friends went out to chill in Starbucks. Almost all of the radical millionaires were there. A few minutes after, Jan said, "Benson were's your key necklace?"(radical millionaires have this signature necklace we always wear to hype ourselves to be the very best everywhwere we go as a group member). "Oopsss. I forgot it, sorry". Joel and Jan said, "halaaa, your ejected in the group. Joke!". "It's okay but just remember, that key is a symbolism that you are a key to peoples success so wear them". So again, with a smile... We went through the day and I even closed a deal in Vmobile because I was thingking I am there key to success... Late in the afternoon I simply realize how simple culture does to a persons mind. :)

Plant Your Seeds (day 5)

Friday morning... I stretched my long tired arms, woke up, shouted my affirmations and smiled. "It's gonna be a good day". Made my daily routines and "puff it became COCO crunch"! Joke... I ate Coco as my breakfast. After the milky and chocolaty meal, I started to read my Assignment book given by my mentor. On the heading the chapter wrote... "Plant Your Seeds"!!! Just love this book, my Idol wrote this... Bro. Bo Sanchez. I just so admire his passion for writing. Hope I could become like him one day. Oooppss!! Sorry for the disconnection... Now back to the topic, plant your seeds. One of the biggest lesson of the wealthy... This is the crucial part of success, the planting time. Most people does not give much time in planting because they focus on the harvest. Let me say "people want to be rich. But what do they do?? watch TV for 4 hours and sit on the couch" sometimes even more. So are you going to have something? Maybe a memory of the greatest TV shows you've watch. No!!! I mean... If you want to be rich or successful in life do something for a start. Like you want to be a good speaker, join Toastsmasters... Want to be a successful investor, read books about Warren Buffet. I mean do something that makes your way to success... After realizing this whole statement... I stood up talked to a friend on a phone and invited him for a Business Opportunity Meeting in VMobile Technologies. later that night... After the seminar. he called me... "Ber, I want to sign up this monday". Wew... Just planted a seed!!! Grew like a fast wind. So plant your seeds... Don't mind about the consequences or results... "Just Do it!" -Nike

Feel Good : Success gets Larger (day 4)

Yesterday, we went to Jog early morning at Beverly Hills and shouted our affirmations for the day. We felt so high that we were like "adiks" smiling at everyone we see. We started the day with a great feeling. After the jog, went to my crib and ate breakfast and then watch some TV for like about 20 - 30 minutes. It was not normal for us watching TV this long because part of the training is keeping away from irrelevant matters. but... The show was not irrelevant, it was spontaneous. Wanna know the show?? It's SpongeBob Squarepants. We laughed hard watching the show. Early in the morning like almost 7 am.. we were having fun. "if everyone in this world were like spongebob, this world would be a better place" - Robin Sharma. After the show finished they went Home. Later in the afternoon met again with the gang... I noticed something, everyone were smiling. Everyone were having good vibes in the group. So yeah.. It was a fun day the result was Tito closed a very big deal... I mean two Big deals... and for the three of us students for the challenge of having the 30% of the million finished at November 20... and lastly... My Kuya txted me last nyt, he also closed a Big deal. 3 lessons learned:

1. Be with the persons who makes your heart jump right out... and your day will turn out more than enough happiness.
2. Always feel good so that Good vibes flow resulting to good opportunities and stuffs.
3. Be with those people who influenced you to do your best.

Giftedness + Godliness = Wealthinest (day 3)

"Put G0d first then everything will follow" -Benson Bere. Wednesday, Tito brought me together with his family to Simala. A place here in Sibonga, Cebu were people pray and asks to blessed Virgin Mary to give Her intercessory prayers to the fulfillment of there dreams and answers to there problems. As Young boy, I've always been happy and contented at my religious life... But one phenomenon that had been a virus to my life is the thought of money being the root of all evil. But now it change... "The lack of Money is the root of all evil" Robert Kiyosaki. Poor people want to give to charity... but how can you give to charity if you yourself is charity. This statements had been embedded in my mind. How come do Rich people like my Mentor became Rich and also at the same time a very Religious person? One concrete example is Bro. Bo Sanchez. It is because of Giftedness and Godliness. This two words are the Power and Key to becoming a Wealthy person. Giftedness are the potentiality of each person to harness the power of the gifts given by GOD to make them your abilities and skills. But giftedness alone does not work, it pairs alone with the Godliness. Godliness is the ability to give service to the people around you and respect them as creation of God. When you have the love of Servicing people and you combine it with your passion and gift. You will ultimately become successful. One very good and concrete example is also my hero Manny Pacquiao . It may be in studies, job, and business... Master this point and you'll become successful. Miss this point and you'll end regreting your life.

Dream Big : Success gets Bigger. (day 2)

Early Evening, Joel and I went to meet Tito and his family at SM northwing. We were sharing stories and events on how we came up with our dreams. I love this people, often times I speak with people in school of my dreams, but they don't understand it... Others laugh!!! I hate it.. They think that its to cheap to dream big. When all the people who came big started with a dream. Let me give concrete examples; Steve Jobs, my Hero... Made his first computer while dreaming and made it on his garage. Mother Theresa, my religious Idol, who dremt of a world to be a better place... today made countless changes by building Charity's. Often times, people forget how Dreams make a Big Impact on our lives... Before as a child, we have high dreams... but as we grow old, we tend forget them because the world was to harsh and mean. Anyhow, "Dreams are made to come True" - Benson Bere. With happiness and smiles sharing our dreams... Tito then suddenly ask a serious question to me. "Son, what if a special doctor finds out you have a severe cancer (God Forbid it) and He said that you have practically 1 month to Live, what would you do?". I remember that I cringed hearing the words that came from my Mentors mouth. My was answer silent, "...." I was shocked. Then again, Tito asks... "Oh! The findings was wrong, you are going to live a day. What would you do?". I stopped again in silence and said, "I still can't answer your question Tito. How about you Tito?" and he simply answered. "I will be here, in front of you... Sharing my knowledge and time with you guys." Then I realized... It was Titos Impersonal dream.

Now I can answer... My individual dream before dying is to be with my family. I have 4 brothers, 1 mother, 1 father. When the day comes I want to Smile with them, talk to them, and say I Love You to them. Growing up as the youngest and had a large age gap. I hardly have time with my family. Mom went to teach everyday, dad goes to other places to maybe work, my two kuyas had a job and my other kuyas were studying. I hardly had time to talk to them, share them how life was... Inspiring everyone... Recently there was an improvement though, but there's still something missing. Anyhow, my impersonal dream is to influence people to get the best of there lives... Inspire them to dream and make them realize how lucky they are to be born in this world. In short, I would write a story of me on a book and give it to my faithful friends to publish the book and inspire people. So that I would be remembered as one of the persons who made this world a better place. DREAM ON!!!!

Greatness Comes to People who Failed the Most (day 1)

"Fail your way to Success"- Bro. Bo Sanchez my idol... The words that were tattooed on my mind on day 1. This very morning, we went to jog with Joel and Jan. Meeting up at 5:30 am at JY Square Mall to finish the line at The Tops!!! We started to stretch, talk, and walk. After few stretches, we started running. Wew!!! The obstacles were really hard. We went to a short cut that would make us sweat our entire body. After about 1hr of jog... maybe 1\3 of the way to the Tops. We started to joke around to stop this business becuase we were really tired. But still... we continued... Nearing "chatteu de Busay". We started to look at ourselves, we were merely running for 2 hours and we sweat like a faucet and the biggest problem was we did not have our breakfast's. When it all hit us... we came up with a decision to stop for a moment to talk and rest.. After a little talk and chit-chat, we decided to stop. Not because we want to quit but because our stomach was aching for that crispy delightful taste of breakfast. Remember, we were running for 2 hours... But still I questioned myself. I know I could still run but I would collapse because there was no food to be digested by gastronomical intestines. So we went down to "plaza's carrenderia and filled our hungry tummy's with Fish Tinowa.

At the table, we chat again. "are we going back down after this?' I said. And Joel answered back. "yes we do" then Jan inserted "don't worry... we'll still be back for tomorrow and will go further." Wow!!!!! another lesson!!! It all comes down to this Statement to relate it to the business world and life... "I wish getting rich was easy, but it was not" famous words of my Idol and Hero Mr. Robert T. Kiyosaki. This quote represents and connect the first quote I wrote. Yeah... In the world of business we do not win all the time, in fact we loss much the time... but after the lossing streak. We willl win in a constant bases because we already know how to cope with our failures just like the Jog, I know I failed reaching the top. But it didn't bother me at all. It do made feel like a bit much excited to finish it next time... and that's life!!! Life teaches us to fail... "Fail Everyday so you win every Minute" -Benson Bere

Thank You Jesus: Lucky am I... Day 0

On this day I wrote: "when I'm ready, everything else comes to me easily"... Oh yeah I enrolled in the 90 day challenge to a million yesterday together with 2 students, Ashlee and Joel. Went Tito Tony's Home and started the day with them. It was easy for me to go anywhere at this juncture because its our Semestral Break... Eventually, when I went there... first word that came from Tito's mouth was, "are you enrolling today?" and I said "maybe". With quite Silence Tito was thinking.. and then said to his Son, Jan Mckingley Hilado, a mentor and a friend of mine. "Jan, take this.". Tito handed out an envelope full of money. Tito then said "for your first assignment: You need to do Public Service". The first assignment was already here and I was not completely ready to be enrolled.. But then, my intuition acts... So I decided to take it. Tito then instructed Jan and then to us that to deliver this blessing in a form of money to a child suffering from an illness called Lupus. Eventually we went there and met the here older sister. The sister said that we can't meet her because she can be infected and we don't have mask's. With a short chat, Oh! I mean long chat by the way... We felt like crying as the conversation started and ended. Here we are hearing from this 20 year old girl how much she loves her younger sister and worries nothing but only her. She said "my sister was playfull, beautiful, active, and intelligent girl and most of all was kind and good. But here she is... lying in a bed that she can't even move or remember anything". My heart..... Crashed... then it hit me. I tried to distract myself by starring at other places........ Then as the conversation was coming to an end, we gave a prayer booklet for her to write her dreams and prayer that was blessed. She then said, My only dream is to see her happy again.

Just this day I've realized how lucky I am to have this life. Most of people are complaining about their lives, their work, there money, an there time. Little do they know that even how simple things are; it works as a blessing to them. The lesson taught here by Tito Tony to us was many people are so abusive of their lives. They abuse because they don't have this, they have that but never knowing a person may even not have a Life that she can't live. So live your lives to the fullest. Thank God for everything you have and what you don't have.

The Jump of point

This post is a continuation of my life from the Turn of Events. This post is all about were I started my way into transformation of Me; today... It started all when my "Kuya" suddenly quitted his Great Job and join a group of persons which was dedicated of fulfilling their dreams as business persons. I was astonished with what he did.... "with great power comes with great responsibilities" -spiderman. This quote was the reason of kuya for quitting his job which he derived from spider mans quote, "loosing something Big, is having something Bigger" -Jake Bere. and yeah... It happen.. He is now a successful person and I'm proud of him. So as my eagerness graves for knowing the persons who also Turned Their Lives.. I decided to follow them and my kuya... They call themselve's The Business Incubators!!! The very people who started the Group together with my Kuya. Knowing them was easy but following them was not.. "hahaha". and with that, I became close to them.. following their ways of living. and yeah! it was a great start. But there's still something missing. "Why am I different from them?" I asked at my mind. So I decided to talk and tell them why am i different from you guys? The answer was short and fast. "Because your not trained yet". Hearing what they said my eagerness grew more.. what training? I said.. The 90 day challenge to a million, they said.. I was shocked!!! "million?? In 90 days??" that's crazy.. I murmured. Then the person who formulated this group which is my respected and loved Mentor I call by the name Tito gradually said. "don't worry Benson, you'll experience the same craziness we did." It's your time to shine. Just tell me when your ready.

The complete Turn of Events

Hi! I'm Benson A. Bere, I was born here in the Philippines and is currently studying at the University of San Carlos - Main Campus. I am 19 years of age, and is a current Bachelor of Science in Management Accounting. I've always been good at my studies... But then... I've always wondered, how come the most Intelligent students I've known is not Wealthy or let me say: Rich... My dad is a complete example of this. Graduated with a High college degree and was even awarded as one of the top students in his time. But.. the truth is... He was "poor". So I pledged myself never to become like him. So I decided to research about the "Rich". Then found myself in a complete TURN OF EVENTS!!! Why?? find out on the next post...
