A Learner Who Applies

What He Learns:
Franklin Vios’ TRC Story
By Sha Nacino
Franklin Vios is a man who loves to learn and who loves to share what he learns. Based in Leyte, he traveled all the
way to Manila to attend Bo Sanchez’s Wealth Summit 2015. Realizing the value of learning from mentors, especially from
Bro. Bo Sanchez, he joined the TrulyRichClub on March 6, 2015.
He admits that before he joined TRC, he was nervous when it comes to investing in the stock market plus he had a
limited time to study the stock market since he has a fulltime job and he
spends most of his spare time writing.
“I was afraid of investing in the stock market. I thought I had no
business getting into it because I didn’t know anything about it. For me it
was an alien world. I read a few books about it but I became even more
afraid. Until I met the book My Maid Invests in the Stock Market. Then,
I learned about SAM. The SAM advice is very helpful for me. Compared
to pre-TRC membership, my stock market gain has more than doubled.”
Aside from investing, his favorite part of being a member of the
TrulyRichClub is the consistent reminder in the holistic sense. He said he
looks forward to reading “God Whispers” every day.
He also shared that his principle towards money — that money is
not everything but it magnifies our desire and attitude — has improved
because of TRC.
Asked what the top three lessons he learned in TRC were, he said,
• That there is great power in the little things that we do
consistently. Setting aside little money to invest in the stock
market on a regular basis can give a big impact in the future. A
consistent turtle wins the race;
• That I am in control most of the things happening to me: my
health, finances, relationship, career satisfaction, my whole
well-being;
• That scarcity is all in the mind. Life is actually abundant. You just have to train your mind to see it.
Indeed, Franklin is a learner who applies what he learns. Through the guidance from the TrulyRichClub, he has
been consistently investing in the stock market. And here’s the best part: “In fact, I used some of my gains for my
wedding. My presumptive wife is also a stock market investor and she also diligently follows the TRC advice.”
Some fun facts about Franklin. He is an active member of Toastmasters International, a public speaking organisation.
Recently, Franklin also launched his first book How to Survive Mondays at Meralco mini-theater last June 11, 2016, together
with his classmates at The 90-Day Book Writing Challenge.

4 Recommended Books
for Business-minded People
By Tina Santiago Rodriguez
Anyone who’s ever started a business or considered doing so will probably agree with this statement by American
inventor and innovator Alexander Graham Bell: “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.”
Part of the preparation for wannabe and newbie entrepreneurs is gathering tips and gaining knowledge about how
to run a business – and how to succeed at it, too. One way to do this? Read books, of course!
Now, while there are hundreds – maybe even thousands – of business-related books out there, we certainly can’t list
all of them here. So think of this as “the tip of the iceberg,” and feel free to add your own favorites to this list.
1. How to Turn Your Passion into Profit by Bo Sanchez and Dean Pax Lapid
This book by our very own TrulyRichClub founder Bo Sanchez and TrulyRichClub mentor
Dean Pax Lapid is first on our list for a reason – well, many good reasons actually, but you will
have to read it to find out why.
The book is a highly practical guide for people who want to build their own businesses. It
teaches you the importance of the “hardware” and “software” of starting a business – the
“mind” and the “heart.” It also has practical exercises that can help you on your journey to
becoming a “Truly Rich Entrepreneur.”
2. The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferris
In this book, Timothy Ferris shares how he went from earning $40,000 per year, working 80
hours per week to earning $40,000 a month, working only four hours per week. It is a step-
by-step guide to designing one’s lifestyle, and helps readers live more and work less.
The new, expanded edition of the book even includes practical tips and case studies from
different people who have doubled their income and changed their lives using Ferris’s original
book. So whether you are a newbie or a veteran entrepreneur, we’re sure this will be an
enlightening read.
3. The Lean Startup: How Today’s Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically
Successful Businesses by Eric Ries
Eric Ries gives a unique twist to the definition of “startup” in his book: it is “an organization
dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty.” According to
Ries, while most startups fail, many of their failures can be prevented.
Thus, his book promotes a new approach which encourages entrepreneurs to test their
vision continuously, and to adapt and adjust it accordingly. He offers a scientific approach to
building and managing successful startups, focusing on the importance of innovation.

Issue Number 215 • October 2016 Page 4
4. Will It Fly?: How to Know If Your New Business Idea Has Wings… Before You Take the Leap
by Thomas K. McKnight
This book is a great read especially if you’re looking to start a business but are unsure
if your business idea will “fly.” Drawing from his rich business experiences, McKnight has a
44-item checklist to help you assess your new business ideas. He also helps guide you as you
take the leap into entrepreneurship, by leading you to evaluate your personal attitudes plus
coming up with your business exit strategy.
The aforementioned titles are certainly not the only books you should have in your
“arsenal” as you begin or maintain your business. Try browsing through different booklists
online too – and don’t forget to consult “living books” as well, i.e. experienced businesspeople who can mentor
you along the way.

Pay Yourself First: A Must

By Anna Santos
“I live paycheck to paycheck.”

This line is something we commonly hear among those in the workforce, who for the most part struggle to make it
until the next payday. More often than not, those who usually complain would have little to no savings at all. This becomes
the customary pattern, simply because there are financial priorities set before paychecks come: consumer goods, utility
bills, rental payments, house amortizations and loans, entertainment, etc. In addition, there is confusion between wants
and needs, thus failing to allocate funds appropriately. It is almost always justified that because many live paycheck to
paycheck, it is impossible to leave a portion for savings.
Now the question is, “Why do people struggle to save money in the first place?”
I was 19 years old when I received my first salary from my first job. I felt ecstatically happy to have realized that I
really had the ability to make money. The first thing I did was spend 80 percent of it and the remaining 20 percent was for
my expenses until the next salary. I felt that life was that simple and
easy. Earn and spend, spend and earn. This had become my practice
for a period of time. I thought that because it was my own money, I
could do whatever I wanted and choose where to put it—until there
came a point when I was in desperate need of funds but had no
savings to draw money from.
When I would hear the word “savings,” what comes to my mind
was “extra or leftover cash.” I primarily thought that savings are only
for those who have huge income. I also thought that putting away
money to save is an apparent means to deprive oneself.
In one of my short walks in the mall, I happened to bump into
an old neighbor who was then working in a factory for several years.
We had a very nice chat. I asked her what she was up to. She said
that she needed to go to the bank to deposit some cash. I assumed it was for her loved ones in the province, but it was
actually not. She said that because she was being paid weekly, she usually would deposit small amounts to her savings
account after each pay.
I felt embarrassed and jealous at that time. I said to myself, “I bet she was not earning that much compared to what
I was earning, but how could she do that?”
As I walked away, I felt suddenly awakened. I realized that it was not how much one earns but how much one keeps.
I came to my senses as I was feeling ashamed of myself—I should have set aside a portion of my previous income and
treated myself as a “bill” before having to spend or pay whatever obligations I have for the month.
That incident made me change. It was not easy at first, and it required a significant discipline to develop this habit—a
good habit indeed.
So why pay ourselves first?
Three things: Our very self is our biggest asset and essentially should be our first priority. Second, if we don’t pay
ourselves first, who else will? Third, it feels good.
Because life is full of uncertainties, we should always be prepared … just in case.

Be Your Best Doctor! An Interview

with Dr. Romy Paredes
by Sha Nacino
One day, I opened my email and saw Bro. Bo’s invitation to join a Healing Retreat in Tagaytay. When I saw the
word retreat, I told myself, “Wow! Retreat! I need that! I need to relax.”
I read the sales page and I saw that most of the speakers in the retreat were my friends. I imagined being out-of-town
with wonderful people, immersing myself in an environment where I can rest, relax, and recharge.
When I got to Tagaytay, I went straight to the seminar room. I scanned the participants and I realized most of the
participants were there because they were diagnosed with serious illnesses. They joined the Healing Retreat because they
wanted to be healed.
It made me wonder, “Am I in the right room?” I joined the retreat simply because I wanted to take a break from the
daily grind.
I thanked God for the inspiration to attend the retreat because I got to pray for my fellow participants.
At the same time, the retreat also reminded me that
acquiring good health is not an overnight thing in the same way
that getting sick doesn’t happen overnight. It means if we want
to be healthy, we need to acquire healthy eating, thinking, and
doing habits on a daily basis.
One of the speakers during the retreat was Dr. Romy
Paredes. I was drawn to his talk because he was not the typical
doctor that would prescribe medicines. Plus, he was funny,
witty, and sensible.
Doc. Romy finished B.S. Chemistry from the top university
in the Philippines, University of the Philippines - Diliman. Okay,
I’m a little biased in saying that it’s the top university. Then
he took up his degree in Medicine at the University of the
Philippines Manila.
After breakfast one morning, I saw Doc. Romy walking barefoot on the grass. I took off my shoes and joined him.
Then I asked him if he could share some of his healthy habits which we can share at the TrulyRichClub newsletter.
Imagine us walking barefoot while having this conversation. From time to time, we would also smell the flowers in
that tiny garden we were in.
SHA: Hi, Doc. Romy! Tell us more about yourself and what you do.
DOC. ROMY: Okay, Sha.
I’m a medical doctor. My mission in life is to empower people to take control of their health. I wake people up to
their true nature. That we are beyond what we think we are. We are spiritual beings just immersing in human experience.
I have my private work at the Wellnessland Institute, a company I founded that is based in Cebu. We conduct health
programs that are designed to empower individuals to be their own doctors. We teach them how to prepare their food,
we give retreats. We still see a lot of patients but we go beyond the natural treatment, not only treatment of the body but
also the alignment of the body, mind, and soul.
I also lead another non-profit organization called Self-Help Empowerment Movement (SHEM) and our goal is to
reach out to the underprivileged and to other communities. We give talks, seminars, training, or education. We go to the
urban poor and the urban rich.
We receive donations but we also have internal programs to raise funds. For example, my latest books were published
by SHEM and proceeds of my books go to SHEM.
SHA: Why are you so passionate about empowering people to take care of their health?

DOC ROMY: I’ll share with you one of my turning points.

I was still in Philippine General Hospital (PGH) for training in conventional medicine. At that time, I was already
exposed to the sick, the dying, and the suffering of the people.
One time, I was in the hospital, we were doing some treatments to a 5-year-old leukemia patient. That little boy
shouted “monsters!” It hit my core because that incident opened my heart and made me surrender the arrogance of my
mind.
During that incident, my question to myself was, “Why were we trained to do things like this that hurt other people?”
But because of the knowledge that we’ve accumulated through the years, we considered it as civilized knowledge,
yet I felt that the 5-year-old patient was not feeling civilized. He was emanating a message of devastation and frustration.
I’ve treated more than 35,000 patients since 1999 and these patients have shown me the way to the truth, that the
truth is beyond knowledge. Because we learned a lot of stuff in medical school that is industry-driven for the benefit of
the industry.
There are more diseases and more expenditure today than ever before and people continue to be fragmented,
frustrated, and people spend a lot of money.
I’ve heard a lot of stories of my patients’ suffering and pain. So I told myself, I want to be on the side of the truth, I
want to search the truth, and nothing but the truth.
SHA: If you were to summarize five of the healthy habits that you do on a daily basis that you could share with us,
what are they?
DOC ROMY: Yes, I have several healthy habits which I also share to my patients. I don’t recommend anything to my
patients that I don’t do myself.
First, when I wake up, I drink my 30 pieces of freshly
squeezed calamansi.
Second, then I do my own meditation. Sometime ago, I
didn’t know how to meditate. I only knew how to think. I think
and think and think and I experienced burnout several times. I
have learned to meditate several years ago and I do that every
day. It’s slowing down your mind.
I have this daily prayer. I raise my hand and say, “I am the
full expression of God’s love. Just as God is love, so am I. I feel
love. I feel God. I am not this body. I am only in this body.”
It reminds me every day of our mortality. I realized that
the more we come into terms with dying, the more we become
fully alive every single day. The more we run away from it, the
more we develop fear about it, the more we don’t live. Because we will be living in fear, not in love, not in joy, not in trust.
Third, another healthy habit is I do the fruit breakfast. Sometimes I juice it, sometimes I eat as is.
Fourth, I exercise. I walk or jog a little bit. Mostly walking. It’s more for the health.
Fifth, I do smell the flowers.
When I was so busy thinking and pursuing so many goals in life, coming from my mind and no longer from my heart,
I didn’t notice the flowers and the birds. Now I do notice them.
Every time I smell the flowers or I listen to the chirping of birds, it reminds me of the two types of reality —
Psychological reality which is a reality that is running in our heads; and Experiential reality which is experiencing the
wholeness of creation, not just focusing on our own petty creations.
It is so liberating to experience the wholeness of creation and not just my psychological reality of focusing on my
own petty creations.
Okay, let me share with you another one.
Sixth, I walk on the grass or Earth barefoot. I’ve been doing this for several years especially when I feel tired or
stressed or busy.
I go back to nature. I connect to nature because a big part of our body is the element called Earth. Because when
we die, we go back to the Earth and one simple way of explaining the benefit of earthing or grounding is we absorb the
electromagnetic energy of the earth and it can greatly influence our body chemistry.
Walking barefoot and connecting with nature is one way of creating Chemistry of Blissfulness, similar to when you
are smelling a flower or gazing at the sunlight or just listening to the sound of nature.

These are the things that we don’t realize or feel when we are always in our head because we think that everything
comes from our head. Actually not, the mind is a very beautiful aspect of our lives, but it has a limited perspective. Not
unless our experience of reality goes beyond the mind, then we will not fully experience the wholeness of creation.
SHA: Thank you so much for sharing your insights and healthy habits, Doc. Romy!
DOC ROMY: You’re most welcome, Sha!
Doc. Romy shared that he used to be a “drug prescriber.”
Today, he is now a Wholeness Educator.
Instead of writing litany of medicines in his prescription
pad like any other doctor, he writes words of strategies on how
to take charge of your health. Here are a few examples:
• Walk barefoot
• Hug trees
• Relax more
• Shift to plant-based diet
• Attend a health empowering program
• Let go
• Love more
• Allow
• Surrender
He advocates a revolution that will lead to the new health care system…an empowering love-based health care
system that brings back the glory of the divine design for human beings to heal by themselves.
Doc. Romy wrote several empowering health books that include Your Own Best Doctor Is You, Sacred Simplicity,
Awaken the Doctor in You, and Health Made Incredibly Simple, among others.

Conclusion: Rituals of Trust
In the past, I shared with you some of my Rituals of

I believe that if I didn’t trust God, and declare my
