“The mind maketh good or evil, wretch or happy, rich or poor.” –Edmund Spenser

You may be wondering what in the world “Religious Beliefs” are doing here in a subject about money.

Answer: Your religious beliefs determine your wealth more than you think.

Let me say it again. One of the biggest monsters that keep us poor is that we really don’t want to be rich. And we don’t want to be rich because we’ve got crazy, insane religious beliefs about money.

Religious beliefs are so deep, so wedged to your core identity, you follow them even if you’re not aware that you’re following them.

In this article, I’m NOT in any way insinuating that all people should try to be rich, yada, yada, yada. Or that we’re defined by how much we earn. Mother Teresa had zero income but she’s one of the greatest persons this century has ever had.

But because of her work for the poorest of the poor, she spent $40 million a year. Her ministry was blessed by very rich people helping her. How could she have done her incredible work if there were no generous people around her?

Friends, I’m against the idea that people who do not want to become rich are automatically judged as spiritual immature and in need of deliverance from the evil spirits.

It is all a matter of purpose.

Read carefully…

Money is not the most important thing in the world. But money affects every important thing in the world.

It affects your family life.

It affects your physical life.

It affects your intellectual life.

It affects your spiritual life.

It affects your ability to help others.

We need money. And money, if used properly, can bless the world.

Therefore, get rid of crazy religious beliefs about Money!

The secret to my success is that I bit off more than I could chew and chewed as fast as I could. -Paul Hogan

There are over 7.5 millionaires in America today. Around 20 percent of those millionaires are high school grads only.

There are 222 billionaires in America, and a full 10 percent are college dropouts.

Why mention these facts?

Because I hear a lot of people say, “I’ll never make it in life. I don’t have a college degree.” Go tell that to Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. Because he never college, too.

I’m not saying education is not important. It’s very important. But if you want to succeed in life (in any area of life actually) - education isn’t enough. You need something else…
I call it the Power of Hustle.

Hustle can mean something bad. In today’s jargon, “He’s a hustler,” means he’s a cheat. I’m not using that definition here. I’m using that word the way they use it in basketball.

When the coach shouts, “Hustle boys!” he’s telling them to run fast, think on their feet, be aggressive and defend like a maniac. To Hustle means to believe that there’s a solution to almost every problem - and to take it upon yourself to find it!

I’ve seen the Power of Hustle in the most successful human beings in the world. They know what they want. They take responsibility. They keep on moving. And they never take “no” for an answer.

Mother Teresa had it. Sam Walton had it. Steve Jobs has it. Bill Gates has it.

Nanay Coring has it.

I had a great pleasure of meeting Nanay Coring or Socorro Ramos, founder of National Bookstore. At 83 years old, you’d think she was 50. I felt her sense of wonder, her vibrancy and love for life.

To me, Nanay Coring embodied the power of hustle, a never-say-die attitude in life.

On a busy sidewalk, she propped a tiny table, piled some books on top, and called it National Bookstore. What do you call that? I call that HUSTLE.

War broke out and the Japanese censored all books sold, effectively prohibiting her from selling books. Did she give up? No. She hustled. She looked for what people needed - and discovered that the Japanese soldiers wore boots the whole day. Would they need slippers? In time, she sold thousands of rubber slippers to them at her “bookstore.”

One day, one of these Japanese officials asked if she was selling bond paper. When she asked how many he needed, he shocked her by saying, “3,000 reams”. (She later learned that he was in charge of printing Japanese money.) At that point, she didn’t have a single piece of bond paper with her. But with courage, she said, “I’ll deliver 3,000 reams to you.”

She looked far and near, buying bond paper with her Kalesa (carabao cart), delivering it to them on time. That’s HUSTLE !

By that time, her house was filled with piles of Japanese money - soon to be worthless if the Americans won. And listening to short-wave radio at home, she knew this was going to happen soon. That was when a Japanese sold her a whole warehouse of whisky. She bargained and bargained, giving him all her Japanese money. When the Americans won the war, she displayed the whisky on the sidewalk - and the American soldiers bought them with US dollars.

When the war ended, things were looking up. She expanded and made good profit. And then a storm blew away their roof, and the rain drenched all their books. In one night, everthing she earned the past years was all wiped out.

Did Nanay Coring give up? No. She hustled.

She started from zero and built NBS one book at a time, one customer at a time. She calls herself a simple saleslady. And she will always be the best saleslady on the floor.

Today, National Bookstore or NBS is the widest bookstore chain in the Philippines with 85 branches scattered all over the country. Aside from NBS, Nanay Coring now also owns other huge companies.

Luck?
No.

HUSTLE !

The bolder the action, the greater the genius, magic, and power that is likely to flow from it. – Robert Ringer

Robert Ringer wrote a book entitled ACTION and I love it. It’s a great kick-in-the-butt for those who like to endlessly plan, dream and do nothing.

If you want to succeed in life, there’s no other path: You’ve got to take bold, massive action.

No timid, tepid, tentative steps.

No half-baked, half-hearted actions.

Use all your guns and pull all triggers and unload all your bullets.

Fire all cylinders.

Floor the gas pedal.

Give it all you’ve got.

When I look back at my life, all I see are a long line of bold, massive actions that failed. But I didn’t stop. I just keep taking more bold, massive actions until I succeeded.

The first magazine I published folded up in one year. Crashed. Fizzled. Went up in smoke and vanished forever in the cemetery of extinct publications.

But after that failre, I launched Kerygma. After 17 years, it still the widest read inspirational magazine in the country.

My first book was a failure too. We printed 6,000 copies and forgot all about it. My grammar was so bad, I cringe when I read it today. Back then, if you wanted me to hide my head under the ground like an ostrich, read a portion of that book to me.

For 10 years, I forgot about book writing for a long time.

But finally, I wrote my second book and it became a bestseller.

I’ve written eight books so far, and every single one of them has become a national bestseller.

When I began Anawim, our work for the poorest of the poor, our first three years were three years of chaos. No, that’s not quite right. They were three years of total chaos. We simply didn’t know what we were doing.

In my desire to help the poor, I accepted everyone – orphans, abandoned elderly, deranged, drug addicts, alcoholics, street kids, ex-convicts, kidney dialysis patients… Can you imagine the nightmare we went through during our early years? The drug addicts were teaching the orphans to take drugs, the deranged becomes violent, and tuberculosis patients were mingling and infecting everyone else.

But after 10 years in operations, spending PhP400,000 a month for food, medicines and housing (God provides each month), we learned the ropes little by little and run a tight ship today.

I hear visitors tell me that Anawim is the most peaceful and calm home for the aged they’ve ever seen.

And since we began, we’ve already served one million meals.

Recently, I’m taking bold, massive action towards another goal: of having a TV station that will broadcast God’s love through six daily inspirational TV shows.

Will it be expensive to run our own TV channel?

You bet. Probably close to PhP100 million.

Do I have the money? Nope.

But will God provide?

If it’s His plan, He always does.

Take bold massive action!

“When we give ourselves permission to fail, we at the same time give ourselves permission to excel.” – Eloise Ristad

Do you know the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful person?

Easy: Count the number of times each person has failed. I bet you, the successful person has failed 10 times more than the unsuccessful person.

Michael Jordan is also known as the greatest basketball player in the world. In the Guiness Book of World Records, Michael is on the list of players who have made the most basket in the NBA.

Yet many people don’t know that he’s also in the Guiness list of players who’ve made the most misses. Because he simply made the most attempts.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty six times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan

Another story I like to share is Soichiro’s story.

He began making piston rings. He tried selling it to Toyota but they rejected him. Business was so bad, he pawned his wife’s jewelry to keep his business afloat. After building his factory, it got burned to the ground.

What did Soichiro’s do? He built it again.

That was when it burned down a second time.

He built it up again.

Not long after that, an earthquake tore his factory.

He built up a third time.

Because of the war, gas was expensive. So to go around, Soichiro used his bicycle. But he attached a little engine to it so that he didn’t have to pedal. When everyone saw it wanted one, he knew he had a winner in his hands.

His full name is Soichiro Honda. He became the first mass producer of motorcycles. He says…

“Success can be achieved only through repeated failure. My success represents the one percent of the work that resulted from the 99 percent that was called failure.” –Soichiro Honda
