I attended a Financial Literacy Seminar on May 23, 2014 (Friday) which serves as a refresher for my part. I know I already attended countless of seminars pertaining to investment, money, and savings to name a few but never got the chance to get serious about Financial Freedom. Until one day on the last quarter of 2013, I was invited by a friend to become a Financial Advisor primarily because of my connections or contacts and I speak the language of “Sales and Marketing”. Not only that, I joined and registered to become one because I need to educate myself too and inspire other people.
Since it’s my day-off I need to visit the office to meet fellow Financial Advisors and at the same time to catch up with everybody of how they are doing with their lives lately.
In My Pursuit For Additional Income
Recently, I come into my own senses that I need to replace my active income (my salary with my day time job) with that of my passive or active business. So below are the lists:
1) Rental Property
I’m fortunate that I was able to negotiate with the landowner to sub-lease the whole building for rental. Least to say, I have commission per month at P6,000. Since I have a partner who also helps me manage the building while I’m at work, so we have 50/50 cut for the commission. Not bad for P3,000 each right? This helps me save my rental fee.
Skills Required:
- Negotiation Skills
- Effective Communication
Tools Used:
- Internet for Online Marketing
2) Training Organizer
Way back in college I was elected as the Chairman for Ways & Means. My role that time was how to generate funds for our school organization. What came into my mind was to organize school seminars because we have “Seminars and Tours” as our subject in college. That alone, I used that as a way for our school org to generate funds by organizing seminars for the students with a minimal registration fee of P200 to cover snacks, hand-outs, certificates and token for our guest speaker. For consecutive years, our school org was always the number one (1) organization. Sad to say, that same school organization died a natural death years after I left my alma mater.
Fast forward. That same idea and strategy I used in college is what I duplicated outside the campus. This time at a bigger scale because my participants are professionals ranging from Managers, Supervisors, Frontliners to name a few. Would you believe that I was able to invite a 117, 255 and 107 paid number of participants?
My commission varies depending on the type of topics and the number of participants who will be joining.
On May 28, 2014, I have another public seminar and I got more than 20 participants. My commission alone for that one (1) day seminar is P14, 500. Eventually it will grow because some participants prefer to pay at the venue. It’s already a good sum of money because I wanted to buy one computer set for a piso2x internet and have it placed at my friend’s café. Budget is P18,000 or P19,000 to buy a new i3 computer, 1TB of HDD, 4G of RAM, 18” monitor inclusive of other materials for piso2x net. Sooner or later, I’ll buy a second unit and soon once I have a good budget to purchase another set of computers.
By July 2014, I’ll expand my training services to Manila, Dumaguete and Davao. With that in mind, it requires a lot of time management, dedication and motivation to keep me going.
Skills Required:

3) Sales Team
I’m molding a “Sales Team”. I’ll update you once I have good story to tell about item #3.
4) Food Business
I will save this section for 2015. I’m waiting when that spot near Ayala Business Cebu will be vacated. Potential gross income per day is P30,000
5) Software As Service (SaS)
I believe this is 90% done with my business partner who is a programmer. I’ll save this section and update it once we have paying clients. Expected to launch to the market before end of August 2014.
While the greater majority aspires wealth, I believe that many would want to know the secrets towards a financially stable life. Your story is yet to be written. Start now and prepare for your future.
