What happened this October?! Well…I stayed home and did not travel at all for once.

Did I love it?

YES.

Why?

Because I was able to have time to reflect about my life, my businesses, and what I could do differently. 

So..I enrolled into not 1…but 2 coaching programs.
 

The first one is about creating content on social media to build your community. One of the main reasons I signed up for a content creator course was because when I went on my last trip to Punta Cana where I was with a bunch of other travel advisors, I met an advisor that told me MAJORITY of her clients were from social media. Right now, the majority of my clients are from my network, referrals, and repeat clients which I’m super grateful for – but to have the internet world as potential clients, that would definitely be a game changer. 
 

SO…in my head, I thought if she can do it, then I can do it! I’m happy to announce that I just finished the Creator College VIP program which is a 5 week intensive schedule where I learned SO MUCH about social media with actual strategies and processes to build my community. 
 

Let’s just say I view social media much differently now and am happy about the investment I put into learning how I can use social media more effectively… so if you haven’t already – give me a follow, a like, and a share with anyone you think would enjoy my content. I appreciate it so much!

The second program I enrolled in is around building my financial independence. One of the main reasons I signed up for this was because I was inspired by the financial coach’s story. She is Filipino, she and her husband retired at 40 (she’s 41 right now) and all they have been doing this year is traveling and seeing BTS concerts. MY DREAM. She also has written a book, has a podcast, does speaking engagements – basically everything I admire! 

So at this time, I’ve finished about one-third of the boot camp program and again…my mind is blown with how much I’ve been learning about finances (I thought I knew a lot) and what we could be doing better to move towards financial freedom. 

My goal is to also retire early with my hubby (by 50?!…I’ll take 55 too haha) so we are currently figuring out how we can incorporate these new methodologies into our lives. I’m excited about the possibility of retiring early and to know someone that has done it…especially someone that I can identify with as a Filipino-American. I truly believe that anything is possible if you put your mind to it! 

So October has been a busy month with learning and improving myself, my businesses, and life. Next month…I will be traveling to Europe and doing the Christmas Markets along the Rhine River, so stay tuned!! 

Thanks for following along on my journey! 🙂
