Leadership That Matters
₱ 350.00
"And as a professional speaker and trainer, I carry the awesome responsibility of sharing critical ideas that are both relevant and effective in equipping leaders with the knowledge to do better and become better."
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
₱ 350.00
"Allow me to use the fascinating world and words of the English language in bringing you effective principles for work, business and living. For purposes of easy recall each principle will be presented with the titles of three words."
Being The Best
₱ 300.00
"This book is an easy read but a lot of hard work. Being the Best You Can Ever Be could be read through in one sitting, but to succeed in life and be the best you can ever be will require a predetermined will and a lot of back-breaking work."
DUH
₱ 400.00
"This is a book that deals with "DUHism's of Life." I shall assign a meaning to the word duh by using the following acronym:
Developing Unhealthy Habits
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."

DEBT IS NOT A BUDGET
Don’t spend money you haven’t earned to buy things you don’t need to impress people you don’t even like. Look around your house. Half of what you own, you bought to be seen with, not to use. Debt is not a budget. It is a hostage situation and you are paying the ransom with interest […]

Leadership Begins With You
Leadership begins with you. But it is never about you. The moment it becomes about you, it stops being leadership and becomes vanity with a budget. Ego is the cancer of every promising leader. The best leaders I know spend less time trying to look great and more time making other people great. The applause […]

Motion before Motivation
Monday blues and finding it hard to get started? Remember: you do not need motivation first. You need momentum. Start with one small action. Open the file. Send the message. Make the call. Write the first line. Motivation often shows up after movement begins. Action is the cure for the hesitation you keep while waiting […]

Laugh With OThers
Have you ever met people who make it a habit to laugh at others, as if they themselves were perfect?That is not wisdom. That is not grace. The wisest people I know laugh at themselves first. It is a form of humility you cannot fake. Self-deprecation, when done with sincerity, is not insecurity. It is […]

The greatest gift parents can give their children is not a life without problems, but a life filled with love, truth, discipline, and example. We cannot shield our children from every difficulty, disappointment, or failure. Perhaps we should not. Problems can shape character when children are guided with wisdom, courage, and faith. What matters is […]

Age and Maturity
Have you ever noticed some people, no longer young, still throwing tantrums like like they are auditioning for a teen drama? Here is the truth nobody warns us about. Age happens to everyone. Maturity does not. One arrives by calendar. The other arrives only by character. Maturity is responsibility. Consistency. Seriousness about life. And the […]

PAY ATTENTION
The most expensive thing you own is your attention. Stop giving it away for free. What are some things stealing your attention without giving anything back? Doomscrolling. You sit down for “just five minutes” and surface forty-five minutes later exhausted, irritated, and somehow more uninformed than before. The algorithm got fed. You did not. Watching […]
