3 Signs of having a poor mindset
FIRST SIGN: BLAMING!
Notice a lot of people who plays the “blame game” do not succeed. These are actually the people who point out their fingers to how many people without ever looking at themselves.
These people usually blame everyone or everything with what’s happening in their lives. They blame the government, the economy, their companies, their employer, the sales person, the policemen, their partners, friends and family members and also they blame God. For them, it should be always someone else’s or something else’s fault to blame beside from them when something goes wrong.
SECOND SIGN: JUSTIFYING!
If they don’t blame, “poor mindset” people justify or rationalize the given situation. Like for an example you heard a husband/wife saying this: “As long as there is love, you will have a happy family and you don’t need to have a lot of money.”
True. We need love in order to be happy and money is not just the only source of happiness but like love it gives you happiness. Let me ask you these: Do you have plans for your family? Do you want to enroll your children in the best schools? Do you want all of them to be healthy? Do you dream for the best life for them? If your answer is yes, then definitely love is not just the answer! Get it? What do you need to fulfill all these? I’m not saying, money is more important than love or any other needs instead, both of them should co-exist! Love should always be present as well as money. It’s like, your right eye is not more important than the left eye or vice-versa.
THIRD SIGN: COMPLAINING!
Look at the sentence “What you focus on expands.” This is a universal law. When you complain you are more focused on what’s wrong with your life and based on the law, you will keep getting more of what’s wrong!
Another universal law states that “like attracts like”. The law of Attraction. It only means that you become a living, breathing “crap magnet” when you always complain. People who are fond of complaining usually have a tough life because everything that could go wrong does go wrong for them. These people are also infectious because they carry negative energies that can get into you too!
Do you think you have the signs?! Do you like to live in these for the rest of your life? Everyone has a choice and all of us can create what life we want to have. It’s up to you if you will be blinded and be broke having this kind of mindset or you can start educating yourself to increase financial IQ, get a wealthy and abundant mindset!

Overtime Takers
Mandatory OT, Rest day OT, Holiday OT, Regular OT!
Say it anyway you want, it is still taking your time to spend to more important things.
A lot of people are working so hard to have better pay and most of us, render overtime to have a higher paycheck and who spend their time for another 5-6 hrs after their regular shifts. What do you hear them say about rendering OT?
“I will render OT to pay for my bills so that I can save my basic pay.”
“I am rendering OT because I want to buy this gadget!”
“..to include in our daily budget.”
“..to add in my children’s tuition fees.”
“..to pay for my rental fees for 2 mos.”
We have all our reasons and these are just few examples of what I normally hear from people who like to undergo overtime. Yes, we are getting higher pay-out every cut-off but what are we getting in return aside from a higher pay? Less time for our families, less time for ourselves, less time to enjoy life. These are some of what we are sacrificing when we render OT. I don’t blame these people because there are times that they are in a situation that they don’t have any other means to generate income, probably some of them don’t know how to manage their money well, they are the bread-winners of their families or sometimes incentives will just get you into rendering OT even in our rest days!
I, too, was an OT addict before. But when I looked closely on my salary and my life, I’m not getting a better output for my future. You will never know what will happen tomorrow.You are building the foundation of your future today. What you’ve done today will reflect on your future. Aside from that, I got higher taxes! There are times taxes just offset the 2/3 of my OT pay with which you will just be left with a small amount. I’m getting over worked and over stressed! I found myself staring at the mirror with bulging eye bags and asked myself, “Am I going to do this for the next 10 years?”
That’s how I started looking for answers that I will not going to give up my rest days just to be stressed out and do something better that can contribute to my growth as a person instead. And then I saw the community that is just right around my corner waiting for me to knock on their door. This community has opened up my mind and eyes to see the opportunities in front of me. It first changed my thoughts then gave me positive results. I was able to properly manage my money that I don’t need to spend my time to render OT. I have something better to do which I enjoy and I am able to release my stress. I’ve learned a lot. Now I’m practicing what I’ve learned from the community by sharing it to others.
Now I want you to look into your life and check what your future will be if you will always use your time to render OT. Would this be the life that you want for the next 10 years? Isn’t it nice to see yourself at that time spending your life with your family and not missing any important day of your lives? Or seeing yourself going to different places with your loved ones?
Anything is possible if we will start changing ourselves and taking actions.
I will leave you a question to ponder: When do you see yourself enjoying all your dreams? Think of it.

I got these from a book, which was recommended by my mentors to be successful. Now here are the 7 Keys that I want to share with you:
• Back to zero
It is best to always start from scratch. In this, we will experience new things, new people and new knowledge to be learned. All we have to do is be COACHABLE. In our past, we've learned a lot of things like for an example you are a medical doctor, you've studied for 8 or more years to have your specialization, took the board then will be a resident doctor. But you will not be able to know more how to do things if you will not listen to the doctors who are already there, because books can just tell you enough unlike real people who are already successful in that profession can teach you more. Also in business, you will be successful if you will listen to those people who became successful in the business as well. Because they already knew and experienced a lot in terms of dealing with the business.
• Don't reinvent the wheel
We just have to adopt, follow and adjust to the working system and to the things that were already proven. This is how we can simplify things. Simplicity is learning from one's own, as well as from other's mistakes. Keep on leveraging on the people who know more that’s why we have mentors, coaches and tycoons who already mastered the process. In a game, we can't change the rules. All we need to do is plan and strategize what will be our move to win the game!
• Delayed gratification
Just be PATIENT! No SHORTCUTS! In order for us to be successful and master one field is to embrace all the knowledge and learnings. If you fail, then learn from it and keep moving forward. We need to be patient while we are still building our foundation. It is best to have a good foundation in building our dreams and see better results ahead rather than do everything in shortcuts and you will see that you dreams are just a wind blow away and you'll not enjoy what you've got in the long run.
• Be responsible as your own BOSS!
In life, we are the only one accountable for ourselves same as with career and business because you are the one who is making the difference not other people. You are not expected to be an expert immediately because you will still undergo a special process to be the best in your chosen field.
• Be aware of rejection
We should welcome rejection because this is one way or improving ourselves. And the more you are being rejected, the more you can be clear on the things you want to be accomplished because these rejections can lessen srepeating the same mistakes.
• Write and declare goals
PLAN, DECLARE, EXECUTE! Those are the words that I always hear from my mentors. We have a lot of new ideas and thoughts that come into our mind every day. Most of the times, some ideas are being forgotten because we can’t remember them. Having a successful life is being organized first. Clearly state your goals, write them down in a notebook, and then go to someone who will listen to your declaration. Just go to people who will empower you to achieve all those declarations. We don’t live with dream stealers, we need dream achievers.
• Never give up
In any kind of situation, we will always hear those words: NEVER GIVE UP in exams, interviews, business, careers, life’s obstacles, relationships, and in school. This attitude is very essential to achieve success. As they say quitter never wins. Just never lose hope, never give up and focus on your goal. You will never win a race if you will not run. Same as with life, your dreams will stay as a dream if you will not take risks and just easily give up.
One essential factor in achieving success is having the correct ATTITUDE. These are just basic 7 keys to build a correct attitude towards success. Your results will not depend on what happens in your life but on the kind of reaction you show to what happens.

LEADERS vs MANAGERS
"Failing organizations are usually over-managed and under-led"- Warren G. Bennis
How to spot LEADERS from MANAGERS:
1. Leaders deal with change while managers deal with status quo.
2. Leaders work on the system while managers work with the system
3. Leaders create and seek opportunities while managers control risks and react on what's happening
4. Leaders change organizational rules while managers enforce organizational rules
5. Leaders are visionaries and got different strategies while managers just seek and then follow directions
6. Leaders motivate people by achieving their goals while managers control people by pushing them in the right direction
7. Leaders coach followers, create self-leaders,and empower them while managers just provide instructions to people.
Leaders have the freedom to lead while managers are being restricted to follow rules . Both are effective to different kinds of people. Some prefer to be a leader and some prefer to be managers.There are people who chose to be led and some chose to be managed. All you need to do is just to decide whether you want to be a leader or be led, or, you want to be a manager or be managed.
In our community,CA2020, we create and look for leaders and future leaders to achieve First World Philippines.

LOSING IS..
I checked out my blog awhile ago and I saw the “Trump quote of the Day.”
"Losing is (series of naughty words)."
For me, let me enumerate what does losing means: ( I don’t know if these are naughty..=) )
-Losing is being sacred to face challenges.
-Losing is quitting.
-Losing is being close minded.
-Losing is just thinking of one’s self.
-Losing is being bitter.
-Losing is being greedy.
-Losing is a loser.
-Losing is not letting you grow.
-Losing is not winning.
What’s yours?
I didn’t write these definitions because I want to lose or I am a loser but because I want to share what are the possible things that can make us a loser. You can write as many as you want. Now we are aware of the” losing factors” and you’ve given your reasons too, do you think you still have larger probability to lose than to win?

The BIG CHEESE TRAP!
Job fairs attract people.
Yes they do! Whenever I see a big crowd at the activity center of Glorietta, I can only think of 3 things:
1. There is an ongoing SALE!
2. There is a concert, mall tour, program (whatever you want to call it), or
3. There is a JOB FAIR!
I was once got struck at the middle of a crowd in a job fair not looking for a job but looking at these “hopefuls” submitting their best resumes to all the companies that they are qualified for. They all sell themselves for a higher pay. The well –known companies are the ones getting a lot of applications. Some of them use their creativity in order for you to apply like signing bonuses, referral incentives, their benefits and retirement package, insurances or even a free phone just to attract job seekers! These are very attractive and catchy to people who desperately wanted to get hired and start earning. As I’ve mentioned it is catchy. So what’s the catch? You will be bought (which is your salary) by these companies but you will be imprisoned for long years (to work for them and wait for your retirement benefits!) I see employment as a BIG CHEESE TRAP waiting for the RATS to have a taste of its delicious cheese then slowly trapping them inside. Employment trains you how to become the best EMPLOYEE but it will never teach you how to become the BOSS! You will work for them and get paid for the amount they bought you.
I, myself has been trapped for 2 years now. I work hard, render overtime and I can be the BEST EMPLOYEE that I can be for the company. I am still an EMPLOYEE or a rat being trapped in their CHEESE game. I dreamed to become in a higher position like a manager or a senior manager before. But then I realized, I will STILL be an EMPLOYEE. Title will change but occupation and work will just be the same! I will still stay in the office for more than 8hrs to finish my work and I will still have less time for myself and my family. I am not growing! I suddenly realized this is not what I want and this is not how my life and my family’s life should going to be. I have bigger dreams and working all my life is not part of it. So I deserve better than that. And being a part of a big company doesn’t mean job security. You are never sure on what will happen. I will not have any control if I will just stand still. I don’t want to be trapped in this game for the rest of my life. I want to have control of the things I want for me and my family. I can only achieve this security for my future by being in control not being under control of then success and freedom will follow.
I saw a lot of opportunities other than employment and it was showed to me by Create Abundance 2020. I will be successful because I choose to. I want to make and be a part of the big difference that CA2020 would like to happen. I choose to be a leader and an apprentice as well. This community didn’t show me just the bigger opportunities but also they showed me my purpose in life. I owe it to CA2020 in making me aware and feel the urgency for me to achieve my goals and dreams. Soon, I will be out of the rat race. Very soon! And I know being in partnership with CA2020 will help me grow to what I want for myself and for this country to become.
Now think of your life for the next 3-5 years. Do you see yourself still playing inside the RAT RACE? Do you see how your future will gonna be? Would it still be having less time with your children? Still delaying your dreams? And when do you want to start?
Think of it then think again.
“Give yourself a little freedom to develop into something you’d actually like to be.”

RAT RACE restricts freedom...
I don't know why the upper rat racers can't understand when you choose to be free..we have the freedom to choose but why I can't excercise that freedom of choice right now?If RAT RACERS really care for their people,they should understand what you need and why do you really need it..They always say that RAT RACE promotes GROWTH!
GROWTH?! In what sense?I don't think you will grow when you are in the RAT RACE..why? because people will just going to work hard for the benefit of the RAT RACE not for their benefit! Probably somehow,you will benefit if you are working hard..but until when?..Do you think you will be able to retire for the next five years?! I don't think so..where can you go with a 5 digit retirement benefit?! will you be able to start a family?!send your children to the best school?! will you be able to buy your dream house?! your dream car?! your dream to travel?! NO! Definitely NOT! RAT RACE will just be for the MEANTIME...you can't be sure if it can help you in the future or worst thing that may happen,you will stay broke!!! This just all started with the FREEDOM that I asked that was not given to me..The FREEDOM that I want for the next 2-3 years..The FREEDOM that I want for the rest of my life..
I already know where I can get that FREEDOM..I just need to wait for couple of years of uncomfortability to achieve the FREEDOM that can give me comfortability..
I know what I want.I choose to be free.I am unstoppable.
I live.I love.I laugh.
