It is common during early education to answer the question "What do you want to be when you grow up?”. You may tell me I’m wrong if you were never questioned about it from any of your teachers in any way oral or written. With the innocence of a young child, we easily thought of anything we wanted to be.

In a classroom setting, pupils would say they wanted to be a doctor, a nurse, a teacher, a lawyer, a priest, an engineer, a fireman, even to be the president of the Philippines and so many others young minds could imagine. We never had the idea what it takes to be one, we never cared though, as long as that was what we wanted.

Let’s fast-forward from the childhood to the persons as who we are now. Days and years went by and so many have changed. It is true for some of us are not the persons we wanted to be when we were young. The outside world has so much to do about it. Every now and then, the events, the state of our societies, the places we live, and the people within in our radius influence us. The demands of certain professions differ from time to time. In conclusion, I say circumstances change our beliefs and outlook in life. We, then, learn to make choices out of the situation we are in.

To illustrate: Way back before I entered college, I wanted to study in a prestigious university in Cebu. I planned to take up Accountancy but it was unfortunate of me not to pass the required IQ for the degree. (Also, my parents were having some troubles on their finances.) They offered me Management Accounting instead. Perhaps I did better, I could have proceeded in Accountancy. I felt I was rejected. I asked myself, why would I pursue that dream if they don’t trust me in the first place? Then, I chose to have an Engineering course in the same school where I had my secondary education. I took up Chemical Engineering in same school not only because it is well-known for its Engineering courses but I loved the Chemistry subject in high school. Far from my perception, it is more than about Chemistry. Due to its broadness and degree of difficulty, a life of a Chemical Engineering student is tough that one needs a huge determination. I could vividly remember, there were many sleepless nights to study the lessons and to finish the research in higher design courses. Because of that determination, I finished BS Chemical Engineering. Therefore, you’ve got to always do your best effort to achieve what you really want in life. 

If not for the choice I made, I couldn’t be working now in the engineering firm which gave me the chance to be here in Japan for a duration of more than a year now. The day when I stood on the land of the rising sun marked the beginning of a journey to make my childhood dream come true. In the couple of months I worked here, I was able to buy things I couldn’t afford then such as a good pair of branded shoes, a laptop, and a camera. I was able to visit the heart of Tokyo and be amazed on the Japanese way of life, its distinct, enormous architectures, and the nature Japan has in its four seasons. The highlight of it all is that I came to visit Walt Disney’s magic kingdom, the Disneyland. Here in Tokyo, they call it Tokyo Disney Resort comprising the Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. When you are inside the magical kingdoms, you are like in a different dimension where your fantasies become real. Happiness and fun is everywhere.

Making choices is a life-long process. Who we are today is the results of the decision we have yesterday. As Eleanor Roosevelt quotes: 

“I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday.” 

Furthermore, what we choose to have/do today will yield a life we will live tomorrow. 

In contrary to all the good things happened to me and the family, we have been tested of our faith to the Almighty Father. Because of the hospitalization bills of my eldest daughter, we are paying a significant amount of debt. Though we are still coping with the financial challenges, I’m still thankful that she is saved. In this trial, we still have people dear to us who is providing the support we need. This shows that we are never forsaken by Him. Indeed, blessings come in different forms. You just have to make your choice and do something about it. 

At some point, I was thinking of what's a kind of business to start for us to exceed our increasing expenses. Not to brag about, the salary that I earn now would be more than enough if not for the monthly debt payment that takes a larger portion of it. As a sort of blessing, one day a friend on Facebook posted regarding a business opportunity to earn extra income while at home. This is how it appeared,

It urged me to seek for more details. After a series of business education, I understood and found the opportunity to be great. I was so interested to join. Within a week, I looked for ways to generate the money to join the Supreme Wealth Alliance Ultimate (SWA). I made a choice and now I'm part of the Team Unstoppable Internet Entrepreneurs.  In the Facebook group page, you will see the trainings you need in the business to be successful. Every thing is already in order, it’s like your being spoon-fed.

Hey! I ‘m glad for the rapt that you have on the topic, you are still reading this post until here. If I could go to the place where you are reading this blog now, I would have pat you on the back and say “Thank You!”. 

If you are in the mood of learning from my experience, keep reading. If you have no interest at all, ignore this blog and close your browser/tab or hit the back button. I value your time and I don't want to waste it.

I’m going to share now the experience I went through the days after I knew and join SWA.

There’s a chance that the things I did at start (the traditional and wrong approach for the modern-day networking) that you could commit too if you join us. In fact, if you decide to join and show me more interest, I can give you a copy of an eBook written by the top earner of SWA, Pinoy MLM Exposé by Eduard Reformina. Meanwhile, I can sight atleast three, but you are going to know more when you have the access to the official group page. 

1. Don’t be so excited. Right after I was added on the Official Team Unstoppable Internet Entrepreneurs Group page, I browse for the files and see for myself what are those that I can use for the business. Because I was so hyped, I told some of my friends instantly without even reading the eBooks and watching the online videos. Do you know what happened? They just rejected my offer. They didn’t see the benefits I saw on the video (18-minute video all about SWA). They had objections I can’t handle. I even tried to argue and was being defensive. So, it didn’t worked.

2. Never lose heart and keep going. After being rejected, again and again, I told myself, “This is one of the things I expected, to encounter rejections”. I almost gave up. However, I was still determined to continue not because of the 2,500 pesos I invested, but I see that there’s a good future awaits me on this business. I endeavored to educate and to improve myself through reading. I’m telling you, the files we have is something that any one can comprehend, it’s written in Tagalog-English (Taglish). You may be wondering why I wrote this in English, right? I love to. Haven't I told you that I want to improve myself? Yes, being able to write using the English language is a sort of inspiration for me. Perhaps you decided to join, you can write your own blogs in whatever language you are comfortable doing it. Going back to the topic, I earned ample knowledge and I was more confident to respond to others' inquiries.

3. Sort and qualify the people around you. Yes, I was being confident for some point, yet I didn’t have enough skill to close the deal. It’s like I was being maneuvered by my prospect. At first, he had that noticeable interest but it vanish as his focused on the goal was declining. He had so many negative notions and excuses that I kept on waiting for him when to have the time to watch the video and the rest of the information instead me who have the opportunity. I had to do so many follow ups exhausting the enthusiasm in me in the long run. From there, I stopped and thought what I did wrong again. I continue to further read more articles in the Facebook group page we have. I sought for more ideas. Soon, after I read the book I’m reading now, I can go to the Supreme Wealth Library (SWL) any time and download another eBook. What exactly went wrong? It seems that I was so desperate to let him buy the eBooks and join, notwithstanding that it is not my lost if he’d never become a member. The lesson I learned, I should have been talking much of the opportunity only to people who has already the interest.

Recently, I’ve got a commission from SWA worth $20.

Who in the world would give you $20 dollars for using Facebook or  the internet? Rather, you could have been paying the internet bills, renting in an internet café or even spending some loads on your cellphone. When we speak about dollars, it’s hard to reckon the value since we are used to our currency which is Philippine peso. So, let’s convert it to the dollar exchange rate as of January 13, 2014.

$20 is equal to 892.2 pesos. If you are worried about the investment of 2,500 pesos to start the business, think of any business that needs no capital to launch first. Do you have it on mind? There's none, right? To take away that worries, I have searched on Facebook the total of Filipino users within the current location of Philippines. Do you want to know the number? The potential reach according to Facebook is 36,000,000 people. I narrowed down the search to people in Cebu City since I’m from Cebu. It’s 1,600,000 people.            

Can you imagine how many people are using Facebook in Cebu City alone? Speaking of the 2500 pesos investment again, you only need to sell the set of eBooks to at least 3 people to get it back. 3 times 892.2 pesos equals 2,676.6 pesos. 3 people out of 1,600,000 people is only 0.0001875 percent. If you think of this small percentage, it can be considered negligible. Why should you worry of not getting it back if you have still 99.9998125 chance out of the 1,600,000 people? Given that a number have already joined the SWA Team, there are a few who are satisfied of the income they earn, there are who are not even interested of doing networking, then come to think of the number of your friends on Facebook. A study (Anatomy of Facebook by Lars Backstrom) shows that 50% of active Facebook users on the year 2011 have more than a 100 people on their friends list. Since it is hard for me to guess your number of friends on Facebook, let me assume that you have 100 friends utmost. Again, you only need 3 people to get your investment back. 3 out of 100 means 3 percent. You only have to work on 3 percent of your friends. Why should you be so afraid to start a business that you knew you could earn? Isn’t it a good thing to try and take the risk? By the way, since we are following the 2 pay plans implemented by SWA there's going to be a slight alteration on my assumption. To see the pay plans SWA has, please ask me for the link.

I’m not asking you to join in this opportunity to be successful. I’m just giving you an option to choose from the rest. If ever you join, I cannot guarantee you success because this is just a business opportunity not a business guarantee. The success that you’ll have in this business depends on the effort and how well you manage your business. Just remember, the team and I will be guiding you through in the process. This team is a group of people helping people.

Being able to create this blog is an achievement, and I learned this through the SWA training and discovering the features of blogging. To end this lengthy blog I enjoyed writing, allow me to end this with what Toni Gonzaga said as Teddie in Star Cinema’s “Four Sisters and A Wedding” movie. (Obviously, I’m a fan of Star Cinema and Filipino Artists). “Pwes, bigyan ng maraming options. Options! Options! Options!” Teddie exclaimed. The idea I want to suggest is different from that of Teddie's. You can probably understand what I mean if you have watched the movie. It’s all up to you as to what option you choose among the many options in life to aim that success that you have been dreaming of. You’ve faced so many options and I’m just presenting you one. 

Go ahead and make a CHOICE!

I’m wishing you more success in life and may God bless us all.
