Perspective from an outsider…

Let me ask you a question, what was your best memory of July 4th?

For me, there’s one that stands out — my first.

You see, I move from the Philippines to the U.S. in the 2000s for graduate school…

My first July 4th was probably the best….

That’s because of the fireworks and food… .

When the fireworks lit up the sky, my first thought was “wow, that’s expensive….”.

Pardon my perspective on things, that’s because I came from a third world country….

But I was right about fireworks are expensive, because during the recession, our county cancelled fireworks….for 3 straight years…

No budget….

It was during the recession too that I lost my job….

It was scary….

How can I take care of my family? Where I can get my next paycheck?…..

I worked “odd” jobs…..I worked as Chemistry lecturer at the nearby community college…

Then I canceled Netflix, Amazon and gym membership….

Years later, I told myself I need to get into business…..

I got scared of lay-offs…(3 lay-offs in my belt)

So, I started a business, and another, and another…

I tried Forex and Options trading but without luck…

It was Amazon Private Labeling that I lost a ton of money….

tons…

Then a friend emailed me to read a book…

I was skeptical at first but he said, “Get it for FREE…”

So I did….

Wanna get the book here? It’s FREE….
