Call To Purpose
I was 12 years old and about to graduate from elementary school when I became aware of the world around me and wanted to make a bigger impact in the world. Being the youngest in the family without responsibilities yet, up until then, everything was just child's play for me. The instant I learned that I was a medalist was the same moment I learned to take responsibility for my future - to own the outcome of my actions. That was a transformational moment for me. It came at the right time as I was about to enter high school the following year.
Challenges
Although I excelled in a Catholic girls' high school, it was painfully clear I was different from most girls. I've always known that I was gay - a transgender male. Yet, my upbringing, school, and religion said my homosexuality was wrong. This was always a source of tension and point of oppression for me. I suppressed my homosexuality and conformed to societal norms. Entrepreneurial since Grade 4, yet I became an employee at my parents' advice. While rising the corporate ladder, I was dabbling in real estate and side business. I settled for mediocrity and I felt I didn't fully belong.
Moment of Change
The game-changer for me happened in September 2014, after my third secret same-sex relationship ended and I went through my 46th birthday the previous month all alone. I felt so down, miserable, and utterly lonely for over a month, realizing that I was well into mid-life, yet, still living this big lie and the mediocrity that I settled for. I wanted to be free of the shackles and limiting beliefs I was trapped in so I can be the best I can possibly be. I only have one life to live and half of it is already gone. I vowed to live the rest of my life on my own terms and make it the best of my life!
...that will outlast and outlive me on this Planet Earth
Transformation
I first opened up to my niece about my homosexuality on the night I decided enough was enough. She was very accepting and my revelation felt so liberating! It led to more transformation - my hair cut, men's shoes, then formal wear - all unmistakably masculine. I gradually grew more comfortable shopping for clothes at the men's section, and to be confident about showing my real self to the world even during corporate events. I learned to live life not needing anybody's approval or to conform to what society finds acceptable. In June 2015, I opened up about my homosexuality to my closest friend at work, who was very accepting and encouraged me to be my real self always.
Gaining Skills
I focused on my personal development and attended trainings locally and abroad - Robert Kiyosaki Live in Manila in 2015, Peng Joon's Internet Income Intensive, T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive, and Paul O'Mahony's Online Business Mastery in 2016. I became a T. Harv Eker certified trainer and completed his Quantum Leap program in 2017. I learned new skills and reinvented myself. In July 2016, while still working in Metro Manila, I joined 3 business partners and opened up a bakery/cafe/resto in Bohol, where my family is deeply-rooted. I left my corporate cubicle in March 2017 and moved to Bohol.
Return To Purpose
In 2017, I became a Consultant for the Local Government Unit of Loon, Bohol. In 2018, I wrote the lyrics for its tourism jingle, co-founded 2 home-based startup t-shirt businesses, my tourism project went viral in social and mainstream media and got featured on TV twice! I guided our town to win multiple awards for its digital initiatives from 2017 to 2020. In 2018, I launched my eBook and website in January, my audiobook in February, was a speaker in the Cashflow 101 Workshop in March, certified for Digital Marketing in July, and launched Smart Money 101 in October. I became the Financial Literacy Trainer of the Bohol Provincial Police Office (BPPO) in February 2020.

3-STEP SIGNATURE SYSTEM
The journey to becoming Passive Income Builders can be encapsulated in what we call the 3-Step Signature System. There are three (3) elements in this system - Mindset, Mission, and Monetization.
MINDSET
The journey to lifestyle freedom starts with having the right mindset. Aspiring entrepreneurs were natural dreamers when they were children – with a belief system that would have led them to become successful entrepreneurs one day. But, growing up, the school system was programming them to become employees, not entrepreneurs. So their dreams were buried deep inside their employee blueprint all these years. Hence, the need to re-program their subconscious mind, along with this, is to enhance their financial literacy, so they can build passive income that fuels their entrepreneurial success.
When Mindset is not fully integrated into the picture, there will be no clarity of the Mission and the Monetization aspects.
MISSION
With the right entrepreneurial and investor mindset now in place, the next step for aspiring entrepreneurs in the journey to owning their lifestyle freedom, is to set their goals, create their vision for the future, discover their mission and purpose in life and to plan their actions moving forward in order to propel them to greater heights in their entrepreneurial success, and ultimately, to be able to contribute to a better world.
As they achieve the goals they originally set for themselves, they also continue to evolve as entrepreneurs and investors. This is an ongoing and continuous process which necessitates for them to align their mindset from time to time with this level of continuous growth they are experiencing over time.
When Mission is not fully embedded into the picture, there will be no meaning to the Mindset and Monetization components.
MONETIZATION
Monetization is key for entrepreneurial success and lifestyle freedom to happen – these are among the goals of aspiring entrepreneurs. As they enhance their financial literacy, aspiring entrepreneurs will learn to build passive income and nurture an investor mindset. They will learn to make money work for them by monetizing their ideas. This will help them reach for their dreams and achieve their goals in life.
When Monetization is not materialized, there is no business or financial success component in the picture. Hence, there is no financial or lifestyle freedom.
Interplay of the Elements
So Monetization loops back to Mindset and Mission, Mission also loops to Monetization and back to Mindset. And of course, Mindset loops to both Mission and Monetization.
All these three – Mindset, Mission, and Monetization - are separate elements in themselves but also work hand in hand and loop to each other. The interplay of these 3 elements makes for the 3-step Signature System.
This 3-Step Signature System leads to Clarity, Meaning, and Freedom in the aspiring entrepreneurs' journey towards achieving Lifestyle Freedom.
Tying It All Together
As aspiring entrepreneurs evolve themselves over time, they need to work on their mindset, revisit their mission, and continuously find ways to monetize their ideas in order to keep on growing as entrepreneurs and investors in their journey towards owning their lifestyle freedom and continually be able to contribute to a better world.
Everything that we do ties in with this 3-Step Signature System. Our products, programs, and courses - as well as the articles in our blog - give focus on Mindset, Mission, or Monetization or any combination of these elements and the interplay between them as we relentlessly pursue our mission to help aspiring entrepreneurs own their lifestyle freedom by building passive income and creating their own economy.
