Create Abundance 2020 really did create abundance in me

I am a robot. A living machine destined to do work till the day end in my routine life.

Life is not going smoothly for me. My personal life is at its roughest. I need change, badly.

The event that change my life was triggered by the decision of attending my first Cashflow game. The energy in the venue can be felt. Its warm, inviting and loud. Just what I need.

I have no idea to what a Cashflow 101 game is. What I know is this is for business minded people. People who are into investing, taking risk and handling huge amount of money.

As we play the game, I let myself to get fully engage. It was so much fun and so much learning. I am a BS Computer Science graduate and I have so little knowledge about business and investing. All I know is I want change, now.

The game continues and I was able to get out of the rat race. The first one among the player that is. And it felt good. Getting out the paycheck world and to the universe of the rich people, the Fast Track. It was almost time before the launch is served when I have the chance of doing the last roll of the dice. A decision I have to make. To take the risk of rolling the dice for a chance of attaining my financial freedom. I took the risk and I was declared winner at the end of the game.

This is the starting point of the change I am looking for in my life. I need the environment that can create change. I need to surround myself with people that embraces change to their advantage. Create Abundance 2020 is the change I am looking for.

Distance, travel expense, stress, natural calamities ( Ondoy and Pepeng) are just some road blocks that I tried to endure to attain change in me. I took the challenge to be unstoppable and unreasonable. Indeed, the road to change is never easy. And I am willing to pay the price to make the 360 in my life.

I want to be a Core Team member. This is the challenge I took to myself after discovering the community of abundance I want to be part with. I arrange my schedule at work as well as took some leaves.

I finish the three modules required to ready my mindset. Indeed, mindset plays a big role in the money game. And it comes from the choice to win it.

Action. The fourth module. This is the module that made my mind open the doors I never knew exist in me. The doors of fear I never knew I had, network and opportunities.

After the time the task for module 4 was discussed, I know in myself that I am in the verge of being among the 9 over 10 people who quits the final task. Loser as it may sound but I really felt like a failure at that moment. I may look normal outside but a shock man reigns inside me. I am like a zombie going home.

I am not the type of person that let a give up attitude be squashed in my face. And here where the power of network kicks in. The network of people that appended the almost fading dream of change I have long looked for to become a reality. Because of my strong network, which I never knew I have all this time I was given a chance to live the life I want. A free man.

Opportunities behind opportunities. This is so true inside the community. The modules required to be taken really are a prerequisite because they will prepare the person to see opportunities that a preconditioned mind will not even glimpse.

Personal development is inevitable once been part of the Core Team. I can personally attest to that. My relationship with my family massively changed. The way I deal with people substantially showed my confidence. An immense turn around of vantage point on life took place the day I got out my comfort zone.

Money follows growth so they say. With the community I have now my part time business. And as I continue to know more about the business, I know my employment days are numbered. It will not be an easy transition but with my coaches around to guide and advise, I know I can make it. I have some of the best mentors the business world have.

Create Abundance 2020 really did create abundance in me. More than the business that it gave me, it is the personality that it chiseled and continuously polished in me that makes me commit to this relationship.

PS. What do you know, I am not a robot after all, but a free man in the making.

I found gold in a board game

Its been more than a month now since I found the gold that I have long looked for in my life. My ticket that liberated me on my false beliefs and mendacious preconditioned teaching towards wealth.

I found gold in a board game. The CASHFLOW® 101 Board Game created by Robert Kiyosaki. Playing this game gave one of the biggest turning point in my life.

I am a BS Computer Science graduate and I do not know much about finance, business and investing. I have read some books and blogs before but I never really was able to digest much due to the technicallity of the subject and the way it was presented.

The CASHFLOW® 101 Board Game eradicated all the walls and road blocks that hinders me in knowing the basics of investing and business. It gave me the avenue to experiment my investing and negotiation skills without loosing my real money. I played full-out and was able to get out the rat race! It was so fulfilling to run through the "FastTrack" where they said the rich people fulfill their dreams.

Because of the insights, fun in learning and meeting business minded people I decided to pursue my search for financial literacy. And I need not to go far because the people who conducted my first Cashflow 101 game was the community that I decided to take part with, The Create Abundance 2020 Business Community.

Being a Core Team member now, I am excited to see people play the game that made a big impact in my life. I hope they will enjoy and learn as much as I did which gave me the start up leap in filling up my financial illiteracy before.

PS. On my first blog in the community my projection of completing the wealth courses is within this year. I was able to finish the wealth course and become a Core Team member in one month.

PS2 Thank you to the people who help me achieve this. Coach Jelly, Thy, Coach Benjie, Coach Mark, Coach Raquel, Coach Rovel and Coach Marsel

...'pag gusto maraming paraan.

Today Pepeng was expected to hit us even though we are still striving to rebuild ourselves from the havoc created by Ondoy.

All the way from Pampanga, I chose to roll the dice and negotiate with my Small Deal opportunity along with my fellow cashflow gamers instead of slacking in my bed. I chose to buy stocks offered even at a 20% buy back interest at sale instead of planting online on Facebook. I choose to listen to other's experience and strategy on the game instead of watching movies eating pop corn.

Today Pepeng was expected to hit us even though we are still striving to rebuild ourselves from the havoc created by Ondoy.

Why did I choose to risk myself going to Manila when it was forecast we'll receive a super rain today? Because I believe that it is much riskier to slack on my bed, play online games and watch movies with a null results knowing I still lack financial literacy within myself.

"Our work and our mission is truly difficult. When it is difficult it is more valuable when it is valuable then we add value to people lives." I attest to this statement of Coach Rovel which I saw on the public online chat window of www.ca2020 site.

I have proven today that when you really want something and the normal way is blurry, become foolish and make the way yourself .Results over reasons...'pag ayaw maraming dahilan.

PS. I have bought Rich Dad Poor Dad today.

D + A

With a few errands currently going in my life, I decided to make a move last week. To attend my first Cashflow 101 game. Being in Pampanga, it would not be an easy decision to make. Long travel, early wake up call, travel expense and its my off (meaning rest from work and time to relax) are just some road blocks that hinders me from making the decision to attend this game that I have no idea about.

So what made me say YES in attending the said event? I would like to thank Coach Ryan V's post entitled "Answers to some of the common questions the Core Team members are asked" This post cleared the clog in my head from making the switch from a "Next time, soon I'll attend" thinking to a simple, "Yes, I must go." attitude.

I did really felt like I am the one asking on his post and me containing all the skepticism and negativity add to that the sarcastic approach I may have been if I am really the one shooting all those questions to him. And he, just sitting in front of me answering all the questions in smile and coolness. An eye opener.

I would also like to extend my gratitude as well to mySurvivor, Jelly Lampa. Thank you. The unwaivering persistence, understanding and positivity you give to me is more than enough to start a day right. You are a good manifestation on what the community can offer to those who are willing to open new doors in their life.

Having attended my first Cashflow 101 game gave me a lot of insights about the vast potential I could become. Inputs from sir JP and fellow game players like Mr. Rommel and Mr. Joseph are of so much value and I was able to digest all their stories, FYI's and divination because they were talking base on experiences. I must say that there is really a big difference in having knowledge over wisdom.

Decision add Action spells a Start. I decided to attend the Cashflow game, I acted on it by moving out the comfort zone and attend it. The output? A start of widening my horizon and decoding opportunities.

A planning staff. That was my first job in my first company. From hereon, I am drafting to attend and conquer Cashflow 101 and 202 together with the wealth courses. My timeline to complete the task...before the year ends.

PS. On our game, I was the first to go out off the Rat race. Eventually winning the game on a risk.

Note: Thank you Thy (Kathyren), you know why :) and to all the coaches whom I was able to meet. Thank you for the warm welcome. And of course Benjie. Thank you man!
