A Story of A Filipino Millionaire at 21
Posted on November 14th, 2008
It could have been an inspiring article. But somehow, something seems to be lacking, as one comment describe it – like an “unfinished symphony†causing others to doubt the story and even the purpose of it being written
The story about Joey Magtibay, a Filipino entrepreneur who achieved financial freedom and became a millionaire at the age 21 could have inspired readers of Izah Morales. Unfortunately, the story lacks the details that are needed for the readers to emulate.
The blog, and the video embedded, only speaks of the importance of having financial literacy in order to achieve financial freedom, and that all it takes is just having the right mindset. That as the article rubs in the face of the readers that Magtibay is a millionaire and a successful entrepreneur at 21.
Yet, it really fails to tell the how. Aside from saying that Magtibay has a program that teaches those who want to learn financial literacy and achieve financial freedom, there is really nothing much that can stir the reader’s curiosity. That is why you can’t really blame some of the posts’ not-so-positive comments, doubting about the purpose and veracity of the story.
It could have stated who Magtibay when he was 18 years old, the year he said he started his journey towards financial literacy. Did he even experience a hand-to-mouth state of existence? Or was he after all born with silver in spoon in his mouth? That is why spending time learning financial literacy was easy for him he never really has to worry about providence.
Not everybody knows about Joey Magtibay. I don’t. So a little backgrounder might make readers like me more interested about him, and perhaps try to follow his tracks by enrolling in his programs, which I believe was really the main purpose of the story.
