Millionaire Acts

Advertisements

Hi, I’m Tyrone Solee, the author of this blog. I am a Mathematics degree holder from Ateneo de Manila University, one of the top universities here in the Philippines.

A lot of us are dreamers. We all want to have a comfortable life, to become a millionaire, and to ultimately achieve financial freedom. This is what this blog is all about – to help you achieve your goals, to escape the rat race and to become successful in life.

I started this blog on Nov. 24, 2008 when I was 25 years old. The domain name “Millionaire Acts” originated when I watched the film “The Secret” which talks about the powerful Law of Attraction. Back then, I wanted to become a millionaire. I wanted to know how a ‘millionaire acts’ so I can be one of them. If you want to watch the film that started all my journey, you can watch it here.

As they say, ‘the early bird catches the worm’. In my early quest to financial freedom, I started the habit of saving at the age of 21 when I had my first job after graduation. At the age of 22, I already educated myself about financial literacy and started my first investment in a bond fund.

Four years later, at age 26, I became a millionaire through employment by employing frugality, investing, and paying myself first by using the equation INCOME – SAVINGS = EXPENSES each time I get salary income. This is the right way to save your salary wisely. As Warren Buffet said:

“Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.” ‎

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.”

On that same year, two months after the Typhoon Ondoy flooded our home, the biggest blessing came when I was able to meet successful bloggers online and eventually ventured into make money online business.

Past is experience, present is experiment. Future is expectation. So better use your experience in your experiment to meet your expectation.

Corporate-wise, my background is both involved in investments and research. I spent the longest (3 years) in an asset management company handling the distressed asset investments of a former global investment banking firm.

Bulk of my career was spent as an underwriter, an analyst where I performed due diligence on several distressed debts and assets composed of non-performing loans and foreclosed idle assets of banks.

The rest of my career was spent as Research Analyst for Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in North America, and currently as a Senior Research Analyst doing competitive intelligence for a client in the IT industry. If you’re interested to view my professional profile, I made one in Linked In here.

I’m an achiever and a goal-oriented person. Let me share my most favorite quote:

I WILL do today what other people WON’T so that I CAN have tomorrow what other people CAN’T.

The quote above shows the comparison and contrast between will – won’t and can – can’t. In order to become successful, you need to be different and you must stand out from the rest. You need to do the extraordinary and excel from it.

“The man who has made up his mind to win will never say impossible.”

Blogging so far has been the best and greatest thing that happened to me. Millionaire Acts has opened a lot opportunities for me. I met a lot of fellow bloggers. I was invited to become a speaker in a blogging seminar. I conducted my own financial planning seminar. I became a contributor to Good House Keeping Magazine. I was featured in Manila Bulletin and I got invited to attend the first Rich Dad Asia event here in the Philippines. Most of all, I learned how to make money online!

Modeling

Aside from my current interests on entrepreneurship, money management, finance, and investments, I also had some interests on acting and modeling for some diversion before.

I enrolled myself in a runway modeling workshop conducted by one of the modeling agencies to improve confidence and boost self-esteem. I was able to join two fashion shows back then. I even joined several acting workshops to hone my skills when it comes to acting. Below is one of my photos back then.

You can view some of my previous modeling pictures, modeling projects, modeling set cards, and a fashion show where I was included here.

As Robert Kiyosaki says:

The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learn nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money but never learn to have money work for them.
