Only The Real Matters
₱ 300.00
"Here are stories of loyalty. Stories of friendship. Stories of persistence. Stories of attempts and endeavors, failure and success. Real stories of real people--their businesses, their treasures, their wealth, their heroes. People who, after putting a lid on their careers in order to define who they are, have discovered a deeper meaning to their lifework--work that has been transformed from an obsessive bondage to a source of tremendous fulfillment and joy."
Three Little Words

Being The Best
₱ 300.00

Early Bird
₱ 300.00
"The early bird gets the worm..." but has it ever occurred to you that the early worm gets eaten. In line with this thinking, being the first may not necessarily be good, because the first mouse gets trapped, but the second one gets the cheese. What I'm trying to say is that life is a matter of perspective. It's not what happens to you; it's how you look at it and how you take it."
All that Matters
₱ 350.00
"There are many things that matter--the big things as well as the small things. But what matters most should matter now, and the big things we dream about would one day happen, but only when we sweat the small things and improve on it now."
52 Week Journal
₱ 450.00
"52 weeks of lesson reminders, stories, and personal reflections that we hope will help you write down the start of your milestones for your leadership process."

Wealth Is Not Enough

Action not just words
Love needs action. Trust needs proof. “Sorry” needs change. Sincerity is not proven by words alone. It shows up in behavior. Words can express intention, but behavior proves sincerity. Because love that never acts, trust that never proves, and apologies that never change will eventually become empty noises and not evidence. Affection must be seen, […]

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be […]
