Success to Significance

I. What is The Difference?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Success may refer to:

• a level of social status
• achievement of a goal
• the opposite of failure

THIS IS SUCCESS!

Significance can refer to: with purpose and importance

In IMG I define Success as Getting Rich, while Significance is Getting Others Rich as well. Thus, Success is being Truly Rich while Significance is becoming a Truly Rich Maker.

Becoming Truly rich is a goal while turning into a Truly Rich Maker (TRM) is a Purpose.I felt so good when we achieve financial independence, but I tell you now,I felt more fulfilled when we are able to help people become truly rich as well.

THIS IS SIGNIFICANCE

Like climbing a mountain or running a marathon, getting to the summit or crossing the finish line is an exhilarating feeling of success, but being able to help others climb their own mountain, helping them climb up to where you have gone feels a lot  more better for me. I believe it is also true for all TRM... Right?

FACE YOUR FEARS

II. How Do we Move to Success

A. Remove Your Fears and Doubts:

I came from the corporate world and my mindset was solidly anchored on being an employee. Thus, in the beginning moving to success in this IMG business was tough for me. I had doubts, and fears, and lots of worry.

I fear that I am getting in a pyramiding scheme and might be the cause for many other people's woes.  I had worries that my income from IMG would not be enough and would not grow. So the first thing I did was to remove my fears and doubts. I ask you now to do same.  

BOMBARD YOURSELF WITH POSITIVES

B. Bombard Yourself With Positive:

But all these were eliminated by mind set change. I bombarded myself with the positive  by attending Bro Bo's Seminars and the every Sunday PICC Feast. We made sure that we attend every Training opportunity in our IMG Office. We got our Business Training from our coach Joen Delas Penas, Shirley San Miguel, Cathy Borja, Doc Dada Rosanes, Doc Jaime Lorenzo, and Noel Arrandilla.

Face our fears. Stay motivated, and be persistent in achieving your goal. Go to the meeting and persistently pursue your 4S. (Ask your MD about 4S Details)

C. Act on Your Goals And Do it with Love

We also made sure that we act on the goals we set. We focused or stick with it and put our plans into action. Then we review our goals and update it regularly.

We organize our activities and team to pursue our individual and team goals. We defined our 4S and pursued our goals relentlessly.

There were trials, struggles and discouragement in our pursuit of success. And we succeeded because we never quit. We made our trials and struggles strengthen us. More importantly  we made sure we anchor our activities in LOVE... (See Xuan's Experience on p326-329 System Builder Book)

IT's ALL ABOUT LOVE...

III. Move to Significance

A. Serve Your Purpose 

Focus on serving. Move people up. Help people achieve their goals and dreams.  Love People. Serve our purpose. The more people we serve, the more people we help, the more people we impact the more we move closer to making significance.

B. Focus on Changing  Others People Lives

Our business has a mission. And our mission is to 

make sure no family is left behind. That we continue to change other people's lives. Commissions will just follow. 

Build people. Coach people to be the best they can be. Do no do it alone. Duplicate yourself by having more people

C. Pray Unceasingly

In all things we do,offer it back to God.  After all, our journey from Success to Significance we need to be fueled with LOVE, driven with LOVE...

IV. Actions Required:

1. Check and Review your Dreams and Goals for 2013 with your family. Declare to your friends. Post in your Novena to God's Love, and Trainers Manual. Create your Vision Board.

2. Read p326-329. Then check where you are on your Success to Significance Journey.

3. Review your 4S with your MD.

4. Attend Weekly Meetings and Commit to attend the BIG Event (SMX Convention June 22-23, 2013)

Next Month our Series of Sharing will be "Graduation Time"...

A Business That Makes You Truly Rich Within Your Reach

Sound Funny...But it's true...

If you're looking for a business that will change people's lives all over the world, well you're in the right place and always at the right time.

Yes, that's International Marketing Group, simply as IMG. A company that gives a big impact that change my money mindset.

Let me tell you a story.

When I was kid, I really do have a business mindset. At early age 6, my mother Maria makes me a manager of our small business, selling kakanin in front of our house (as I told you a small one). A few years past, I used to buy a small Ice Box...Hhmmm I am now running my own mobile business, selling Ice Buko and Ice Candy to our near Barangays, and give some of what is left to my younger brother. Poverty makes my childhood life harder, but that won't stop me, as another years past, I started to learn how to ride a bicycle, for me to be able to drive our own sidecar to render transportation services. After the hard work, I still find some time to go to church to give some of what I have (more particular is tossing a coin after a short prayer). To make the story short, I am now running my own Internet Shop here in Dasmarinas Cavite, where I can apply most of my skills and talents of what I've learned from the past.

Business was smooth at first, but when bills come, I find myself struggling financially. As a business admin graduate is a shame of me, yes I earn but the problem is, I am lack of financial literacy, especially handling money. Then I realized that poverty is not lack of money, but mismanaged money. As I found myself hunger in financial literacy, a friend of mine Malvin Leano invites me to listen for a short talk with Kuya Benj Santiago. I said to myself, this is it, a turning point, a U turn sign, a time to change my financial direction, because if I will not change, me and my family will be in a bankruptcy situation.

Yes, that's IMG. It's been a long time, that I was looking for a business that helps individuals to achieve financial freedom. People say that it's the same as networking, that there's no difference just to recruit and to earn from recruits. But that's not what I saw in this company, yes we have the same concept of recruiting people...but the difference is we recruit and invite people for them to learn and they will earn from their own savings and investment, that they can be a millionaire even without recruiting or selling anything. In this company, the rich will become richer, and the weak, poor people becomes stronger and will wear a smile on their faces that there's still hope to become truly rich, only to learn the secrets of being truly rich.

What inspires me the most is one of my Spritual Mentor is with IMG, Brother Bo Sanchez. As our leader in IMG, we believe in him, and support with his mission for all families to achieve financial security, that financial security is one priority to achieve our dreams, otherwise we end up bankruptcy, with broken dreams and worst is broken families. Together with IMG and Brother Bo we build a solid financial foundation. and we learned that being truly rich is not measured on expensive things that we possess. Being Truly Rich is when you're surrounded by the people who loves you. Many of us think that being rich is having a lots of money, NO it's not. Having lots of money with someone loves and cares for you is unmeasurable wealth that everyone wants to possess. The most beautiful things in the world are cannot be seen or touched, it must be felt in our heart.

That's make IMG differ with others. This company wants you to prosper not just in money but as a whole. I would like to thank Malvin and Kuya Benj for making me part of their Truly Rich Makers Family. As I encounter more new member here in IMG, they always reminds me of one of Ogie Alcasid's popular song lyrics "Bakit Ngayon Ka Lang Dumating," Why I never met IMG 15 years before, if only I knew this company before, I will not be scammed or being blinded by promises of numerous fly by night companies with their quick rich schemes, and instant rich operandi. I only said, we're the same, I felt what you feel right now before, but there's always tomorrow, a light after dark, a rainbow after storm, a sunrise after sunset...in IMG, there's always hope, that all our dreams will come true, just believe, just believe and believe.


Here's how to start with IMG. But, before that, you should have established within yourself the biggest reason why you wanna join IMG?..IMG business is simple, clear, fast, doable but not easy with full of challenges. Being an IMG member is tied up with mission, not just a commission. Commission is just a reward from helping others to achieve financial freedom, we are focused for our guest, for them to learn and not earn more from them. We do this with love, not because of how much money we could earn.

To be able to become a member of IMG, just enroll yourself with wealth academy programs of IMG and execute what you learned. Start Saving and investing for your future. Why? Because IMG wants to assure that every member of IMG is doing what they preach.
Benefits of IMG member:
1. Lifetime Membership.
2. Acquired Position can be transferred to our love one.
3. Unlimited Attendance of Wealth Academy Series.
4. Company Trainings of Business Partners of IMG in (Protection, Investments, Real Estate and more).
5. Direct Access and Earn Unlimited Potential from Company Providers of IMG.
6. No Quota.
7. No Boss.
9. No Timecards.
10. Free consultation and advise on how to save and invest properly from professional financial mentors.
11. Earn direct commission from our financial needs.
12. No boundaries, we have offices all over the world.
13. An opportunity to travel around the world for free.

I am encouraging you all to listen and be inspired of the free financial education seminar scheduled nearest you, that won't cost you  a single cent, absolutely free of charge. and you will be very thankful that you've learned the secrets of wealthy people.

Ooops..I forgot, there's a minimum fee for the speaker...a single clap of appreciation.

Key Measures: What Blew My Mind...

Why People Fail? (p304)

In our Business, and in any other business, people fail because they start with FEAR. And we cannot blame them. I had fears as well. I feared that I may loose all our investments. I also fear that my previous experience as an engineer is a hindrance and a laughing matter if I choose to pursue a career in IMG.

What Are The Common Fears We Have?

1. Fear of what people say.

2. Fear of rejection

3. Fear of not knowing enough

4. Fear of failure

5. Fear of speaking in public

6. Fear of the word "Recruit"

7. Fear of Networking Stigma

8. What else can you add?..A lot more....

When I joined the company, I even fear telling people I am with IMG. I cannot even say the three letter words our company has IMG. Why? Because I fear that people will laugh at me. I fear that people will mock me and put me down for I cannot find a job that suits my background.  "Nakakahiya na nakakaiyak pa (shameful and can even make you cry) is what I felt inside me. 

How To Turn Fear to Good Use (p305)… How Did I?

With fear at the forefront of starting up business who do you think can succeed.  In our System Builder Book p304, Xuan outline the " FEAR FACTOR". He said that "many people let fear control them, hold them back, and slow them down."

But our Fear can also be turned to positive. Such as: Fear of losing that fired you up in sports competition. Fear of disappointing your parents that helped you excel in class and get good grades."

Do not Fear anymore. There is a Big hope. Because "fear is a luxury of your mind that you cannot afford." And as Xuan say too... "Fear is not necessarily bad. Actually it can be a great asset.

Remember all the good fears that you had? I used fear of not being able to get college education to motivate me to study hard and get scholarship. I used my fear of not being able to survive our retirement years to pursue full time and big time our IMG Business. I used fear of not being able to provide for the needs of my family and my big responsibility for my children's college education to build our team across the globe!

I also counteracted FEAR with LOVE... I learned from Bro Bo that LOVE conquers all including fear. SO when I go for BPMs/BMPs in any place, I go there out of love. To serve those who are hungry for financial literacy. To provide light to those who are in darkness of debts. This eliminated my fear of being rejected for I did not come for my own benefit but out of LOVE for others in need. And it feels really good! 

I would like to receive your feedback on this at this point. Anyone who would like to share their experience of combating fears? Send it as a comment on this page or email it to me NOW at richbenj.santiago@gmail.com

Begin With the End in Mind (Stephen Covey)

So how do we properly start up anything? Moreso a Business? Or any endeavor. I believe it pays to think ahead of what you want to accomplish. Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" tells us that we must begin with the end in mind. T Harv Ecker on the other-hand say, "what the mind can conceive will materialize" in his book entitled "Millionaires Mind" . Bro Bo in his book "8 Secrets of the Truly Rich" say, to be truly rich starts with a change in Mind Set. All three great inspirational writers emphasize the importance of the mind. Add to this Rhonda Byrnes "Power of Attraction", and Bro Bo's "How to Turn Thoughts into Things". Need I say more? We simply need to change our beliefs. We must believe in ourselves, our business and define with confidence what we want to achieve.

Find Out Where You Are? ... 

To plot out our journey to our destination, the first thing you need to know is where do you start? You got to know where you are. Some corporate planners call this "Perspective". You got to know your vantage point. Let us do a simple exercise. Pls stand up, close your eyes, do some turns, then try to determine what is the right direction towards the toilet with closed eyes. You can't really get to your destination without knowing where you are. Am I right?

Same thing with your business plans. You got to know what is your current situation so you can see how far are you from your desired level of business.

It is also a must that you do our own "financial check up" so you know your current cash flow and net worth.

Define Your Measurements of Success...Keep on Checking.. Keep on Upgrading... Finally  Something Really Blew My Mind (USA WSB Convention-2012)...

In IMG Business, I applied Corporate Planning Strategies since 2010 January. Fely and I sat down in our dining table and draw up our business strategy. We made sure we have commitments and measurements. Key Measurements we initially have are:

1.) How Many Join and Own for Each Week. 

2.) How Much Income for Each Week. 

Fely and I moved with more confidence and did the IMG Business as "Real Business" run like "Corporate Style". We were able to promote 2 MDs in that year. That was Nancy/Manny couple and Matin/Malvin couple. By the following year we upgraded our business monitoring to include: 3.) MD's Promoted, 4.) Our Target Promotion to EVC. We also upgraded our Presentation Materials and the way we do the presentations. We moved as a cohesive team and captured the Top Awards for 2011. We thought we were already the "Best" in the whole business till Fely and I were able to get to attend the USA WSB San Jose Convention February 2012.

It literally blew my mind! I felt I was number one in the Philippines and would be BIG time too in USA. But I was flatly mistaken. I felt that what we have accomplished is just the dirt in the little finger of the lowest performer in USA. My gosh, they are earning 6 figures per month in Dollars. Fhedy Mehrian ( I hope I got his name correctly); a young guy who is barely in his 30's with about a little over 10 years of doing the business (he started at age 18) runs his own office in Los Angeles California. A huge office that I never had previously included in my "mind plan" of my IMG Business. It practically blasted into pieces what I initially envisioned as our office. What I had in mind before I saw Fhedy's office is just the size of the toilet in his building (sorry for the comparison). His Business operation is so huge and he has really built it big across the USA. From his humble beginning   of not even having his own cabinet for his dresses, he now owns Mansions (take note its plural, mansions...) That experience made me to revise and upgrade my Business Goals and Plans BIG time. I also upgraded my personal Investment Target to about 5 Times more than my initial Target. If there is one BIG thing that happened to me that year, it was my realization that IMG is indeed a huge business if we treat it as it is. It really pays to attend conventions. I thank IMG for giving us that FREE (All expense paid) Convention with leisure trip to USA which we totally enjoyed and more importantly enlarged my vision! 

Xuan’s Story (p334-341) 

Let me borrow a comparison used by Bro Bo: I am but a small bacteria in the toe nail of the ant compared to our Head Coach Xuan. If I inspire you with what Fely and I had accomplished in 5 years, wait till you read and re-read Xuan's story. 

Everyone can accomplish what he has demonstrated for he has put it into a system that we can simply follow. We are so lucky that in 2001 the System Flow had been introduced and that the System Builder  Book in 2002 had been published to document our Proven System.

In closing I would like to use the closing paragraph of Xuan's Story: Let us read aloud together "We are truly building a new distribution system that will change the industry and contribute to the people around us. The build up of the generation of system builders has already begun. I believe the future builder will be much bigger than many builders in the past, and that's the way it should be."- Xuan Nguyen

Action Required:

1. List Up Your Fears.

2. Define Your Action Plans vs Fears. Consult with your Trainers for those you cannot address

3. Review and "Upgrade" your Goals and Plans

4. Monitor and Declare Your Achievement vs Goals to your MDs

III. GUESTS Testimonies

NMD Matin in Lake Tahoe

Here's our story ---

We are High School Graduates and never finished college. Our family is poor, and we know the hardship of being poor. We do not want our children to have limited education like us. We want them to finish college. We want them to have a better life. And we are so happy we learned how to manage our finances through Bro Benj and Sis Fely. It really works. We invest now in Mutual Funds and we earn passive income from our own business by simply sharing and helping other people how to properly save and invest”

We joined IMG in March 2010 and since then our lives have changed tremendously. IMG taught us to dream BIG dreams. Before our dream was only to travel to Baguio but IMG brought us to many places. We've been to Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and now to US. 

We never imagined that after Intel where we came from we would achieve the same amount of salaries, bonuses and other incentives. IMG gave us opportunity to become business owners.  And today as National Marketing Director with 6 Marketing Directors and soon 1 SMD, we even surpassed our income as employees four-fold and achieved 6-figure monthly income. Thank you IMG. Thank you for giving us hope for a very bright future ahead of us. Indeed financial freedom can be achieved and we can be Truly Rich!

Thank's & God Bless!
