Education is Continuous...
I. Back To School!
June is the first month of a new school year here in the Philippines. It is also the month where most couples get married. This June we will have our Annual Convention Of Champions at SMX..The BPMs and BMP are the basic education, GT and Weekly Meetings as intermediate and the Big Events such as this coming Convention in June is the University education in IMG Business.
Convention is where the Big Builders (The Masters) in the IMG Business share their experiences. Great builders from USA and Canada come together with the WSB Chairman Xuan Nguyen and coach us how to succeed in our IMG Business and Mission. We move people's mind set from event to event. Each event is unique and creates an impact different from the last. And the learning and education never stop.

III. GUESTS Testimonies- By Christy and Randy Canete
Ever since I was a child, it's always been my dream to work in an executive building, interact with people and travel to different places. That is why I took HRM and hoping to make all these into a reality. But when I met my husband Randy, who is a Seafarer, and became a mother to two wonderful children, my life turned to a different path. More so, when my eldest son was diagnosed with Autism, I focused all my attention to his special needs and to my growing family. I gave up my personal dream and embrace the role of a full time housewife. Putting up my own business did crossed my mind. But due to my sons' condition, his tantrums were horrendous, it seems very impossible. I just can't let other people to look after him.

For years, I became very complacent. I didn't worry about our finances since I married a good provider Seafarer husband. I failed to save and invest long-term because I felt financially secured or should I say, financially ignorant. All we know is how to save in the bank. Mutual Funds? Never heard before.
Until one day, our family faced a lot of challenges. In 2009, I had to underwent a surgery due to a Metastatic Ovarian Cyst. Blessed enough, it was not cancerous. My husband's company offered an Internship program and was greatly affecting all the crew. He didn't receive a contract as often as before. As a result, he was jobless for almost a year. I have two children to send to school, mortgage, bills and loans to pay. Our expenses were growing tremendously, also because of our lifestyle. And worst, our marriage was also tested. When a couple invited us to join this Marriage Encounter in 2010, we accepted it wholeheartedly.
The outcome of this Marriage Encounter was more than what we've expected. It didn't just strengthen our marriage and faith to our Creator and be involved to this fantastic Spiritual Community. We we're introduced to this company International Marketing Group or IMG that brought financial awareness and provided our family a lifetime business under the mentorship of Engr. Benjie and Fely Santiago.
At first, I was so hesitant to actively participate with the team. For more than 13 years, I was a prisoner of my own house. I only interact with my children. I don't have any social engagements that would build my confidence. I felt like fainting every time I'm asked to stand up and talk in front of a crowd. I always run out of words especially when I'm conversing to someone who have achieved a lot in the society. I pity myself. I'm ashamed of myself.

But these insecurities didn't stopped me. With the help and support of my family, mentors and teammates, I was able to get out of my comfort zone. I was like a student eager to learn everything. I tried all means to boost my self-esteem, like discussing the concepts with my children even if they don't know a word about what I'm saying; record my voice while internalizing every details of the presentation; attend seminars and be inspired by the speaker; tried not to miss any team meetings and a lot more.
My journey in IMG was not easy. I shed a lot of tears and faced lots of rejections and disappointment. It is also inevitable to meet people who will doubted and belittled me. But, I know what I want in life and how to achieve it through IMG. And with faith and trust in God we surpassed all the challenges. We were able to achieve success! Now, after two years in IMG, I have an office in one of the prestigious buildings in Makati, conduct seminars in schools and corporate agencies and traveled to different countries like Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Taiwan and Singapore.
I will always be grateful to my mentors, who didn't stop believing in me, the encouragement from my teammates, and to my family who inspires me to achieve more and be the best person I can possibly be. And to IMG for paving a way to achieve financial independence, secure my family and help thousands of people to do the same, and making my dreams to come true.

Wow!!! The story of ate Christy is sooo inspiring! Way to go ate Christy! I definitely learned something from this post. This is it: "Just show up!" It's that simple. Just show up and the fears that stop you slowly but surely melt away. I can relate this with the other post about "Building Builders Mindset: From Event to Event." If ate Christy can do it, then I definitely can do it too!! God bless you you ate Christy and tito Benj!
