A Unusual Success Story | How Did This Filipino Get Successful

June 27, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

About 7 years ago in 2011 a Filipino named Christopher left Manila to try his luck overseas. His country of choice was Singapore about 3 hours flight from his home country.

His parents funded his trip across the sea and he left his pharmaceutical job to seek his fortune. He was lucky to have generous parents who could afford his expensive ambitions.

For those of you who have never been to Singapore its a beautiful country of high rise buildings, exotic food and terrific shopping. As a tourist you only get a month VISA to enter and then one has to exit the country.

A Story of Persistence That Pays Off

Christopher did not have a job nor a job VISA. He went as a tourist hoping to secure a job on entering the country. His parents gave him enough money to get by until he finds a job. Sadly this was not going to be that easy as he had imagined. Month after month he tried to no success.

After 30 days he had to leave the country, the only way to come back on a new visa. He went off to Malaysia and a day or so later reentered on a new VISA. He kept doing this for 7 long months hoping to get a job. Thank GOD he had very generous parents that supported him.

In Singapore he stayed in hostels where other Filipinos lived, and food and board was affordable.

On his 7th exit out of Singapore into Malaysia he met his wife. Now about that time the girl friend Ashley had caught up with an old school friend via Facebook. She learned that the old friend was on a family holiday in Bali and she got curious what was he doing. He looked very successful, was happy and his lifestyle got the better of her. She wanted to know what he was doing.

A few weeks later they met in Manila and she was impressed with what she saw. She realised that after 7 years of hard work she was no closer to her dreams as when she first started right after college. While her friend was enjoying life, working part time and earning about 10 times she earned a month. The friend had never finished college die to family financial limitations as most Filipinos face. Yet here he was highly successful while she was not.

This is where Christopher comes into the picture. The next day after Ashley met her old friend, she introduced Chris to him too. Chris saw the opportunity that Usana presented and decided to partner up with Mentor Nath.

To cut a long story short I met this couple about a month ago when they spoke at a team event here in makati. Today this couple have gone on to be very very successful. I felt they had a great story worth sharing. Hence took the time to pen this down.

I am impressed about the consistent effort Christopher made to create this successful life he now has. How many of us will try 7 times to get a job in a foreign country. When I read his story I thought it was well worth a mention on my blog.

This is one of countless stories I hear and as I capture them I try sharing to motivate myself as well as others like you to take action. Its never too late to try.

I hope I have inspired you today.

If I have do like this post or even share it.

Learning From A Guard Turned Millionaire

June 13, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

Yesterday I was fortunate in attending the USANA Business Summit here in Manila. The event was held at the MOA Arena Stadium and there were 6000 delegates in attendance.

THE GUARD THAT STOOD OUT!

One speaker stood out from all the countless attendees and he comes from Samar in the south of the Philippines.

Lets call him Geo the guard as his career previously was as a security guard in a mall in Singapore. Jokingly he said he went to Singapore to find a wife. As thats where he met his wife.

HOW DID HE FIND USANA?

In Singapore he worked hard as any OFW and saved his hard earned salary to send home to his family. While he was in Singapore his mother feel sick and the family was asked to look at USANA products to help with the mum’s health condition. As most of the talk was in tagalog and I could not get everything said I believe he eventually saw that there was a way to make extra income through USANA.

HE SET FIRM GOALS!

When he did join up in 2012 his main aim was

  1. to become a USANA Director or earn just $600 USD a week within the first year of joining.
  2. He also set his second year goal to be a USANA Gold Director. Gold Directors earn $1000 USD plus bonuses if they are Executive GD. Those were his first two year goals.

Now how many of us have such concrete goals? In fact any goals of any sort to begin with. Not many of us can say so. Not this man.

HOW HE PAWNED HIS CAMERA!

Now in his first year working as a guard as well as USANA member he was asked to go to Manila to attend a USANA Training. He needed to buy his airfare as well as training ticket. He had no money to do that. All he had was a 1800 SING Dollar Camera that he had purchased with hard earned money saved from working as a guard. He sold that to a Pawn shop for $500 SD and went to the Philippines for USANA Business training.

This was the sacrifice he was prepared to pay in order to get what he wanted.

  • How many of us will do that? How many of us complain just to travel from even Pasay to go to NOA for a Business Event? Many of us do. Not this man.

HE DISAPPOINTS HIMSELF!

Interestingly he did not become a Gold Director after two years but a Diamond Director in USANA. Over the next 3 years he went on to become a 3 Star Diamond Director. Today he does not walk around Malls to guard them but travels the world with his wife living the life of a millionaire.

PAYING THE PRICE!

He managed to do all things because he was willing to pay a higher price for a reward which was many more times than that what he was earning as a guard.

WHAT YOU SHOULD TAKE AWAY TODAY?

If you are reading this ask yourself

  • if there was an opportunity out there that could give you the dream life you truly wanted, what would you be willing to give up to get that?
  • Are you willing to give up everything short term to get what you want long term?

If you are and if you are not yet in USANA msg me and I like to have a chat with you.

I hope I have added value to your day today.

Never Give Up Was The Message 6 Days Age at Usana Training

June 10, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

About 7 days ago I attended a special training by a USANA Diamond here in Manila. He is Mentor Mel, fondly referred to as Mentor of All Mentors. Mel got this title because he gave his time, energy and knowledge to everyone and anyone eager to learn. He well deserves this great reference as mentor.

Finding A Purpose!

Whie everyone was getting started in USANA in Philippines in 2009 he saw people badly needed mentoring. He was not so good back then but took up the challenge to learn and then share what he learned. Gradually everyone started to listen to him and he got a huge following which today is in the 1000’s. This is a story from humble beginnings to greatness. Mel had found his purpose which helped him to greatness as the years went on.

Usana home based business
Learn how to start a home based business in manila Philippines and never quit.

Now he opened up to us his journey last Monday in MLM, more so in USANA. Back in 2009 when he first got started he struggled to get his business off the ground for the entire first 12 months. Rarely earning a check for weeks or months at a time.

Most people would find this a good enough reason to quit and find something else to do. Why?

Many of his team were earning. Some were earning over 200K a month. Not him.What was hard for him was he was one of the very first few that started in USANA Philippines in January 2009. Its sure was very disheartening.

HE THOUGHT ABOUT QUITTING!

There was a time after the first big Usana event in Makati Sport Stadium in 2009 in September/October he said he was so tempted to throw in the towel and quit. How many of us would have done that or thought of doing that. However, he says thank God he did not let his reasoning get the better of him. He stayed on. Today he has been able to provide more for his family because of that one decision not to quit.

We can do what ever we want however we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. So chose what we do wisely is his advise.

Because a few short months after he wanted to quit his business started to grow or show signs of growing. From that point onwards he grew not so fast at first but grow he did. Though some of his downline team grew quickly but grow he did. Today he is more respected for his contribution to others than his title.

HE HAS SUCCEEDED

Fast forward to 2018 he now is a Diamond and earns a Very attractive monthly income. He has so many successful people in his organization today and all of them love and respect him so much.

He says what if he did quit back then he would never have enjoyed the life he is living today.

WHY DO I SHARE THIS WITH YOU?

I am sharing this unique story which is like many stories of people who BELIEVED in what they were doing and kept DOING what they envisioned their lives to be. Today they HAVE what many people dont have. It all starts because of BELIEF.

Most people quit too early. They seldom have visions strong or clear enough to help them preserve  and stay the course.

YOUR TAKE HOME LESSON IS …

If you are doing something do it as if you already have the title and income and just do the job well. Don’t wait for the title and then do the job. It never happens that way.

If you like this article do comment as i will keep sharing more each week.

What Mitchie shared with us at the USANA office last night

June 9, 2018 by Claude Fullinfaw Leave a Comment

Last evening I sat in a room of excited and enthusiastic men and women at the Enterprise Center listening to the Business Opportunity presented by Dan the first speaker. He is someone who currently is earning a multiple 6 figure income per month in pesos and is very successful.

Dan shared how just a few years ago his first payslip after taxes was under 5000 pesos a fortnight. He said he is surprised how he managed financially in Manila on such a small salary. But as most people around him learned to managed he too adjusted his belt and coped in survival mode.

Usana Distributors Manila
Learn from USANA Members in Manila

After Dan spoke we had another speaker speak. Her name is Mitchie and she used to work for a top accounting firm as a CPA in Manila. At age 25 she managed 5 companies under her supervision. Being competitive she learned to do her job well and never once thought she would ever do MLM 🙂

About 8 years ago she was first asked to see USANA. At that time she was working on the 20th floor of the same building, The Enterprise Center in Ayala. With a little persuasion her friend managed to get her to visit the office of Usana. It was there she met my mentor Nath Sunio who was at that time earning a multiple 6 figure income a month. I shall share about Nath in another post soon.

The message from Mitchie last night is …

  • Ask yourself what is inspiring you?
  • Is it your seniors at work that one day you hope to be like?
  • Is their lifestyle something you envy or is it just the status they have?
  • Is it their income you want one day?
  • Do they have flexibility of hours of work?

Or is their life super busy, super stressed and not something being envious about.

FAST FORWARD YOUR LIFE!

Now she asked us to think 5 or 10 years out. Can you see your life being any different to those ahead of you right now in your field? If you are not so sure as yourself that question again and again until you are dead sure.

Because one thing she said is sure, its this. You will get older and you will have lost all that time you have right now. What if you can save precious time and also enjoy life and enjoy life at the same time.

WHY SHE IS GRATEFUL?

Today she is grateful she was not subborn back then to reject USANA totally. She now has a family. She is able to give her young family a life totally undreamed of by most Filipinos. She earns very near a 7 figure a month now. She has been able to take her parents all over the world. Something unimaginable in her job as a CPA back in mid 2000.

HER MESSEAGE TO US ALL IS …

She mentioned that not being in the company you dont stand any chance to change your life. However if you do sign up you stand a 50-50 Chance of possibly changing your life. Why not be a part of USANA. Give it all you have and maybe life can be different. That’s her message.

If you feel these lines above do make sense contact me and lets talk soon.
