Congratulations Sir for knowing your life's purpose and living your dream. I hope to meet you soon.
May you continue to bring inspiration to others. God bless always. :-)"

"Hi Mark, Wonderful article. I felt that it was as much as a personal reflection as it was a teaching article. it is sincere and clear. An especially good read for people who are facing self-doubts in life, for indeed no amount of planning could prepare you for life, for it will throw curveballs at you from any which angle it wants. You just need to know where you want to go and have the will to pursue it in order to weather the storm and conquer the challenges. Cheers!"

"You are absolutely right Mark! I started with nothing a year ago..I capitalize my skill and experience.
Thanks for sharing your business expertise online and for being an inspiration to those who wanted to start their own business.
Id like to join your Zero Capital Business Club."

"Hi Mark!
I really love reading self-help articles, self-help/investment books. I'm indeed thankful to have read your article. It is truly a mind-opener to employees and would-be entrepreneurs.
I've been working for multi-national companies for 7 years already, and I have always ingrained a "diligent" attitude. I feel that without it, I won't be that successful in anything I do. In some way, that's a good habit, however, in the long run it's exhaustive. It's exhaustive accomplishing everything from A-Z, whereinfact there is a much easier process in achieving a certain result.
I've been exercising to work smart. I know this will spell a great difference. I thank you for inspiring us. I do hope I could sttend one of your seminars. I keep on browsing your seminar schedules but I always fail to participate. This time, I need to commit to myself to enroll and to sttend. I know for sure that I will learn a lot. I know it will greatly help me in my employment life. Compensation from employment is not enough especially, now that I have a family and a baby. Moreover, I'm thinking to venture into entrepreneurship soon.
Thank you very much. Belated Happy Birthday to your wife. Hope to meet both of you in person. I am really very much interested to learn.
God bless you!"

"Hi!..
before anything else thank you for forwarding me your message. it was really inspiring :-)) ... i believe with what you just said here that.... when you become an entrepreneur it is results that put food on the table, not efforts. It is results that get you to the next level, not efforts. It is results that make you successful, not efforts....right?.... keep inspiring others ok?...ang belated to your wife ...:-)) god bless you and your biz!"
-Kris Hosena

"Thanks for your insights Mr. Mark. I had been a Juan Masipag for long time now, and started to apply the opposite. I hope I could apply both when I finally go home from my being an OFW to a business I am planning. Looking forward to meeting you in Manila soon. By the way, belated happy b-day to your better half."
-Rolando Go

"Hi sir mark!
i want you to know that I'm an avid reader of your articles in the manila bulletin.. it helped me quite a lot in understanding on how to do business. i always thought that i will never be a good businesswoman because well, I'm not like my co-workers who will always come early and leave late at work. For them I don't value my work because I am not "workaholic". I will never doubt again to myself if i can do business or not. I will not have to work hard. I just have to work smart. :)"
-Grace Saunar




"Hi Sir Mark,
I'm glad that there are generous people like you sharing precious knowledge which probably others would keep for themselves. I need this and I'm so happy I read your article. Thanks and I'm looking forward in seeing you again. more power to you and your family. God Bless!"
-David Aristorenas



"expanding your means and not living below your current means is a great financial advice....thank you for sharing these specific step by step approach.These articles should be part of a school's curriculum.Looking forward to learning a lot from you and your company...and expanding our means too.... :)"
-Patricia Adrueda



"Mark, I am both excited and "not sure if I can make it to the end" feeling on starting your lessons for the "How To Make Money Run After You".
But, i'll give it a try and hopefully finish it with your help and patience.
I am a full time government employee for twelve years now, a part-time Mom, a part-time blogger and a part-time businesswoman. But then still, both ends won't meet.
Thank you for sharing! God bless!"

"This is a good article. I used to have 2 columns only when doing budgeting: money in, and money out (ie, expenses). I had always thought expense is just money going out. Now I know, there is such a thing as good expense. This article also interesting in that budgeting is likened to dieting- I don't have to deprive myself of things I want, but I just have to find a more sensible expense to substitue for the bad expense. I am applying this now in my monthly budgeting. More power!"
-Jacqueline Lipardo

"its very basic... right?! 🙂 many of filipino's new it already but the problem is mind setting... You know what sir... I will share this knowledge to my bro. and sisters and relatives... Iam praying that God will give you more strength and more wisdom and good health as well... Thank you sir! thank you!"

"Hi Mr. Mark So,
I am a retired seaman and my wife has stopped working since we got married 23 years ago.. I am now thinking of how I can manage my hard earned money before it gets depleted before I reach the age of 60. It's nice to know that there are blogs like these to help people be financially independent. I think my wife & I have to really sit down, talk & apply these methods in our daily lives.
Thanks &; Have a good day!! More power !!!"
-Noriel Sielo

"I believe what you've written is a hundred percent accurate. When you are on your own and are making a good chuck of change, you tend to use it on a lot of useless things. Money management is so crucial for the future for yourself and the people that depend on you. It is great that your wife has been there by your side to get you out of the debt situation and am quite happy that you are successful. I took your class a few years ago and still follow what you've said"
-Ritesh Nandwani

"Sir mark,
for quite sometime, i just kept your blog recorded in my cellphone hoping to visit it one day until i finally opened it now. the initial presentation was indeed simple but it was very practical and truly enlightening. I am a retired military serviceman hoping to receive my pension arrears in substantial amount soon and I wish to invest part of it in a business or maybe in stocks. problem is i don't have much knowledge about how this stocks operate aside from what i hear from people, also i haven't thought much of having a business as again, i don't know where to start except an invitation from a networking company selling variety of products? maybe i should or must learn more from your articles. many thanks sir. you help a lot of people particularly those who want to be successful financially. God bless you."

"hi Mark,

"Hi Mark,
Reading your article on 5 super tips on business releases a very exhilarating feeling.

"Hi Sir,
The 5 questions on how to choose a business is absolutely right, here in our province of Bohol we are more on farming and fishing, that's why our business here are related of what we have. That idea belongs to Question # 2 to look for the Customers. Everyday i visit your site I become more knowledgeable. Thank for your kindness on sharing of ideas. GOD SPEED and MORE POWER."
-Jayson

"Reading what you have gone through reminded me of the struggle i had starting the business myself back in 1997. like what you said strong determination to succeed, managing the funds properply being involved in the business and be employee number 1 is some of the key requirements to make any business work.
We are already 13 years old and would say much better now but everyday is a challenge and a learning experience and i think that's what business more interesting and challenging.
Thanks for the very inspiring story which certaily be able to help me improve my way of handling other areas in managing the business. Wishing you more success and God bless."
-Geraldine

"Very true Sir Mark. Your business advice had truly been an inspiration to me as I move towards my career as an entrepreneur. I really value the last part that "we should keep investing in ourselves" because that is really one of the secrets in breakthrough entrepreneurship. I also would like to add that it is equally important to have mentors and to surround yourself with like minded people. May you continue to inspire more aspiring entrepreneurs. More powers and GOD bless."

"Hi Mark! It's amazing how I chanced upon your blog. This is a gold mine of information! I'm fresh out of college and currently working but my real passion is business. But I really don't know how to go about building a business since I'm in the allied medical field. Thank you for your great articles. It feels like I have a mentor:)
It was also great meeting you in person last Money Summit and Wealth Expo. More power!"
-Ella Lao

"Hi Mark,
Nice article. I like your concept. Making a business in a bite-size and more manegeable scale. How I wish I can arrange one day to go for your seminar. By the way I'm an OFW and currently working here in UAE. Being separated from my pecious family is quite an ordeal as I work here in abroad. I really need to do something to have a reasonable and concrete source of cashflow in the Philippines to end my abroad job.
As I started receiving email from your group, a spark of idea of doing a business in food catering or a small restaurant have been ringing in my mind since then. As I was saying, I'm thingking of ending my career as an OFW. I want do this food business and be with my family. As an OFW, my wife & I managed to save some significant amount of money and we're really want to do the venture the moment my contract here in UAE expires (that's almost 2 years from now).
I know that I need to invest first in acquiring relevant informations how to make this "small business" sustainable and make it progressive as the operations goes on. I do hope that your group can enlighten me further about this endeavor. I'll be having my next annual vacation soon. I really want to have a seat in your 7-Point Formula Course/Seminar."

"hi!

-Dan Onod

"Sir Mark,
Last year wass not that good for me. We're flooded by ondoy, my nephew had an accident, my first business failed and my mother died. It was very bad year for me. But i am not losing hope.Its been a while since i've attended your seminar and it's nice to read your article especially now that my friends and i are planning a small business. It is a very nice article and this will help alot. As of now my and my friends are thinking of business ideas. We are planning to put up"
-Jason Baluncio

"hello sir! it's been awhile since i attended your class (7 point) 2 years ago. 😀 since then, i started a small retail business up till now. so far so good. 😀 and your blogs help me a lot. 😀 thanks a lot for keeping in touch. 😀 i am thinking of taking another class from u but i am still managing my schedule. as u can see, i still have my day job, taking my doctoral degree at night and managing my business. 😀 i am looking forward for more blogs! more power and God bless u always 😀 thank you :D"
-Bea Cruz

"I agree with you Mark when you said that everyone starts at zero and experience is the best teacher of all. I have met people who consider themselves guru in money matters and gives free advices even if they do not have the experience and knowledge to back it up. When I decided to go into forex, some people advised against it saying its too risky, ill lose money, stocks are better and so forth even if they don't even have the basic background how forex trading really works. Now that I'm into forex I have learned that gaining experience can sometimes be painful since you will most likely learn from your mistakes and you really have to rise from your failure and try again. I still consider myself work in progress in regards of my forex trading however I would prefer it to be this way than to just say forex is risky and you will lose money and pretend that I know what I am talking about.
Anyway, loving and enjoying your articles 🙂 More power!"
-Aileen Esparago


"hi mark... this is real-life marketing principle..the "must haves" are practical...
i have attended one of the seminars you offer, and as i read your article i was trying to compare it with the kind of approach (teachings and learnings) of the seminar i attended, indeed yours is believable because you CARE for your students...errr, clients as well..thanks for educating people including me and i hope to avail some more of your seminars....ciao!"

"Hi Mark,
A lot of people have been blessed in having the opportunity to come across with this information including me. Being an automotive service consultant here in North America is so challenging & honestly I've been looking up to my fellow consultants who by nature are I would say Yangs. Our upsell results never goes far in volume comparatively even though they do a lot of talking more than I do.
Thank you so much. This piece of information has again reassured my confidence in my personal conviction that truly you can earn a customer's trust by going through the Yin's way. I am sure a lot of people are interested including me to attend your seminar but I am proximity challenged right now being here in North America. It would be awesome if you can come up with Webinars on similar topics in the future. Webinar is the trend here in North America & it's really effective & flexible. I strongly recommend you give it a shot sometime.
Again, congratulations to all my fellow Yins & I'm equally hats off to all them Yangs including you Mark! ;- )"
-Dax

"Hi Mark,
I love your love advice...I find it very sweet! You and your wife make a good team...inseperable like YinYang. Another question though, is this part (Part 2) already out on Manila Bulletin? If not, when would it be out? You see, I have a cut-out of the 1st one and posted in on my workstation for good vibes. I'm saving room for Part 2 & 3 as well. Thanks again!;p"
-Martha Gonzales

"WOW! I've been waiting for the Part 2 before I comment. This is such an eye-opener! Thanks...your article is very insightful. I am into sales and would share this to my colleagues. I am a Yin too and is desiring to be a Yang because I thought then that that's what it would take to succeed in this profession. I'd love to attend your seminar not just this month as I have commitment already. Next month most likely and I'll bring my co-workers with me. Thanks again and continue sharing your learning.
PS: Could this be applicable to love also? Just a thought...;p"
