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.

ANC On the Money TV Guesting, Sept. 4, 2012
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.
At a young age of 26, I realized my dream of becoming a millionaire after 4 years and 7 months of employment by living below my means and being frugal, investing in UITFs, and most importantly, 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.
On September 4, 2012, I had the chance to get interviewed at ANC’s personal finance TV show “On The Money”. You can watch the whole TV interview below:
Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho, March 10, 2013
The video is now available at Youtube and you can watch it below:
“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 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.
As part of my advocacy, I got my license from Insurance Commission to sell insurance policies to clients. In addition, I also look forward to creating a book version of Millionaire Acts so it can reach more people outside of internet, helping them to become more financially literate. Services offered are available 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!

Online Blogger Interviews:
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.
Giving Back

Thanks for dropping by to my blog. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. This blog is a collection of all my learnings in my quest to escape the rat race and to achieve financial freedom. I am not a financial guru but I can assure you that whatever I write here, I practice it on my own and “I can walk the talk”.

Why do we need financial freedom?
Watch the short story presentation below:

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.

Hi Tyrone,
I love your story and your blog. Would you accept a guest post from a fellow Filipino blogger?
Thanks!
Sure Joel! Write me an email at tyronesolee@gmail.com and propose the topic that you would like to contribute. I hope it’s really a good one though, something that is not ordinary.
Wow! it made me cry watching your short presentation about why do we need financial freedom.
keep those millions coming..the best to you!
Hi Tyrone,
You are quite familiar to me since we both frequently visit PMT but I decided to check you out just today when you mentioned in a blog post that it’s safer to invest in mutual funds than in singlehandedly investing in stocks on your own. I am currently contemplating about investing in stocks and you are right, it helps to start young. So I’d love to have your thoughts on stock market investing, like firsthand experiences and tips. Would appreciate them.
What caught my attention in your profile is this:
I’m an achiever and goal-oriented person.
Then you said you want to be rich “someday”
Being a goal oriented person myself, I dare you to put an exact year or age when you want to be really rich. I mean goals should be established so they could be reached and I am curious as to when do you see yourself to be really rich. I hope it will help increase your enthusiasm, drive, courage and chances of hitting your goal. Also, I think it would be best to talk with a friend about it or someone with similar interest as it will help you to be constantly reminded than merely writing or professing it to yourself.
Absolutely.
We should set goals that are time bounded.
Wow! If I didn’t research about Henry Sy, for our upcoming Phil. Quality and Productivity Movement-Visayas 13th Regional Congress, I won’t get to discover, read and learn a lot from this site. Thank you for the additional learning. Your site is an instrument for reviving the desires of my heart.
Let me share this also (sorry I didn’t get the author): “We are capable of achieving a lot of things, but whether we choose to do things or not, is entirely up to us.”
Gracias, Señorito Tyrone.

Hi,
Idol I’m currently reading some of your articles and I’m really amazed on how you came up with every great ideas written. Thanks for sharing those to readers online like us.
“Be a blessing to others.”
“Success is greater achieved when shared.”
Thanks Idol
I can assure you that the road to wealth is not an easy one. If it were, more people would be wealthy not poor. It is easy to write about but the gap between theory (what is written) and practice is tremendous. That is why most of the rich never write the how’s to get rich. When you are there, will you be there? The money goal is an endless staircase. When you got a million, you will want more more more… If you become wealthy, be sure you know when to stop…be happy…
Hi RodS, definitely the road to wealth is not easy. It takes courage, discipline, and will power to achieve it. Having the right set of friends will also be a big help.
Some of the rich don’t write the how to’s to get rich because they don’t want to disclose trade secrets. However, some share their stories to serve as an example and inspiration to others.
I agree that the money goal is an endless staircase. Contentment is the key and being happy is the ultimate goal.
Hi Tyrone,
Just dropping in to say you’re doing a great job on your blog. It’s reaching out and impacting a lot of lives. Keep it up and may you document more millionaire acts.
Live a Brilliant Life,
Ronald
Im wondering…how rich are you now? Are you an entrepreneur? what business are you in?
I can say congrats…and keep it up. This is an interesting blog.
nice bro
Hi Tyrone , great info you could make it big on just your looks

Hi Tyrone,
I first bumped into your name while reading the Good Housekeeping magazine April 2011. Like you, I have been spending wisely and saving for God knows how long. Although after doing this habit for roughly 7 years now, I realized my money isn’t going anywhere at all. Your article, Fund Facts, inspired me to invest and diversify my funds. However, I’m still lost as to which company to invest on. Can you suggest a company? My friend suggested I try Citibank.
from now on,u’ll be one of my mentors
very few people honestly share their knowledge to others… thank you for sharing! good luck and more power to you!
Just keeping in touch. Musta Mr. Millionare!
Hi Tyrone! What’s the difference of being rich from being wealthy? Seeing you in person gave me the impression that you are very simple. But seeing your blog made me realize that there is more in Tyrone that meets the eye… it’s the wealth of knowledge and experience that you have and your passion and willingness to share these to others. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Atty. Yna
The main difference between being rich and being wealthy is knowledge. Wealthy people know how to make money while rich people only have money.
Wealthy people can build sustainable wealth that can last for years through asset investments producing multiple streams of income.
Rich people, on the other hand, can get it in an instant and lose all at the same time because of lack of proper mindset and poor money management skills. These are people commonly known as ‘one day millionaires’ winning jackpot prizes in lotto and losing all in a span of few years.
Wealthy people are financially free while rich people are not. You can find a lot of ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes but not ‘get-wealthy-quick’ schemes because generally wealth is built over time.
haha! i was supposed to be attygorgeous. but thanks anyway. you’ve answered thoroughly. actually, i wanted to comment on Johna’s dare to you. but i cannot. i realized it was made about three years ago. but if you believe in John Calub, i remember him say that you should not set the exact time for that. i forgot the reason but it has something to do with “in God’s time.” if you know, kindly remind me.
Hello Mr Tyrone I got inspired with all your story in this page. No doubt that it will help me in my studies as a Business student specially my major Financial Management. More power! I hope someday that I will have my own blog to share coming experiences and lessons learned to inspire people that we are all capable to achieve our dreams if we diligently pursue them.
Thanks a lot MsNicomi. I hope you get an ‘A’ for your Financial Management subject.
hi tyrone, your blog is so interesting. i happened to discover your blog while i was searching the rags to riches story of mr. henry sy. the inputs that you have shared in your blog sure are enlightening. i am currently out of the country working hard for my family but in a few weeks time i will be going home already and am planning to stay there for good because it’s so hard and depressing to be so far away from the people i love so dearly. i am thinking of investing into a business but with just the meager salary i have it just equates to a little savings, so investing in the right business i will have to be frugal about it as i have only so much to invest. i am interested though on the mutual fund thing, could you please enlighten us, your readers, more on the how and the do’s and don’ts when getting into such investments. hope you could share some tips and which of the so many potential companies out there we should put our money into.
thanks also for sharing the video “THE SECRET” it sure fired up some nerves on my brain which were just waiting to lit up.
more power to you.
Hi Dan, thanks for the kind words.
I have some articles in my blog which discuss about mutual funds:
Please see below:
How to Invest in Mutual Funds – http://www.millionaireacts.com/1209/how-to-invest-in-mutual-funds.html
Do’s and Dont’s When Investing in Mutual Funds – http://www.millionaireacts.com/2008/dos-and-donts-when-investing-in-mutual-funds.html
Funny, i was searching greenwoods pasig ondoy, and i got to this blog
i was stuck and read articles and comments… I think its great that your advocacy is financial freedom. Being in a financial institution myself, its nice that there is more of us spreading the word of financially literacy! Kudos!
Really nice. Just tuned in at ANC. Ive learned a LOT. Thanks. Godspeed.
hello sir this is steelpulse from fb. uhm can i ask u sumthing out of curiosity. .
what is your motivation? i mean what drives you to do all this things what keeps you waking up early in the morning? thanks! ^_^
very interesting tyrone…i am searching for tips for financial abundance, from bo sanchez to larry gamboa and robert kayosaki until i reach your blog.
can you give me an advice if it is good to invest in the stock market? thanks…
I just came across of your blog while doing some research on how to escape from the rat race. I am fascinated of your profile and admire young people of your caliber talking maturely on how to manage our finances.
I’ve been struggling to look for an opportunity to work online after I left so many different jobs for over 30 years in employment. Now that I am about to receive my SSS pension, come September 2013, I just realized that I spent so many years in working as an employee and saved a meager amount of money that I now invest in running a grocery store.
When I read your blog, I decided to contact you hoping you can help learn the basics of working online the way you are doing right now and earn real money from it.
I have been receiving so many emails inviting me to buy their e-books so that I could copy their system and earn from it. Though I am skeptical about it, I tried once only to be duped and lost almost P9,000.00 without earning a penny.
Since then, I never read any of those emails which until now came in thousand, perhaps, since 2009 and until now I already received over 20,000 of those.
As I’ve said earlier, I am skeptical and never tried it again.
But now, after knowing you here, I wanted to seek your help and hope you will communicate with me through emails.
Thank you n advance and kudos to your helpful blogs.
Hope to hear from you soon. GOD BLESS….
Good day, Tyrone!
I am the Public Relations Officer of a new site launched just recently. There are already great and inspiring true to life stories on it. Our writers have interviewed interesting people and have put their stories in there.
I’ve seen your blog ratified and I was thinking if you would like to read some articles that were written in our website and to give some feedback, reactions or comments. You can choose even at least one story, two stories, or anything that you want to read. It would be so grateful if you could share your own stories on it.
Our site address is: http://preacquaint.com/
Thank you very much for your kind consideration.
I’m looking forward to your response. I’m only just one click away.
Sincerely,

Are you now a millionaire?
Do you now live on investments, making money with your money, instead of earning from an employment or doing a business where you sell merchandise or your service?
When you started you did not yet have 1 million pesos at your command any time to withdraw it at least a part of from an atm machine?
Do you now command cash worth more than 1 million pesos?
Why am I asking you?
Because in that way from your own testimony about your financial success in doing investments with money already in your command, I will also be encouraged to do likewise, instead of holding a job or selling things and/or my service.
Please read carefully the profile that I’ve written about me and watch my TV guest interview at ANC “On The Money” to answer your question.
I started with nothing. The only advantage that I got is that I am still living under my parent’s roof and still single. Time will come I will start my own family and that’s where the expenses will come. I am still employed.I am more into multiple sources of income rather than depending on a single source of income alone.
I look forward to having Millionaire Acts be written into a book someday given the opportunity to find willing publishers
Apply the basics of what you have learned on building multiple income streams. I have implemented what I have learned and believed regarding wealth building. It takes time and effort to build wealth. I have been an employee for over 20 years now. I started building other income streams since had my first job and that was a long time ago.
Now I have 2 businesses that have to be managed day-to-day, some investments in stocks and bonds, have built 3 houses that I have rented out (to foreigners), and am building my new project – a 6-door townhouse complex. I still enjoy my job so much. But, I am certain that I will have to quit my job in the future. My other streams of income has kept me off the anxiety of losing a job and afforded me the confidence that if I have to leave my job, my other streams of income will afford me the safe lifestyle that I have become used to.
To those who are starting to build there own, keep it up, persevere and do not let those curve balls dampen your zeal.
Congratulations to your success! Care to share the path that you take? What jobs did you have? What your business is all about? Also started with nothing and build your way up? I always salute self-made people!
Hi Sir Tyrone,

Hi, thanks for your very informative blog. I am just curious, what is your faith? I mean, your religion. I read your article on king solomon.
Thanks and more power! You gave me inspiration to teach my children to save up and spend wisely even if they are still young.
Hi Lily,
I’m Catholic. Thanks also for the compliment. I hope my blog will reach more and more people to help them become financially educated.
I have sent you a request before to send me information to my email on how to earn real money online but I have not received any reply from you. Hope I can get one asap.
I agree with Adrian..Tama! Walang halong ka-intsikan… If I did not research yesterday about the biogrraphy of John Gokongwei, I would not have bumped into this blogsite. Since Yesterday I was hooked up really hooked up. Like I just want to read them all and save them in my mobile.
