Happy Independence day! From one proud Filipino to another, I dream to see our country rise again and zoom to the top and play with the other economic powerhouses in the world. And I believe that as our economy grows, so should the financial literacy and the portfolios of all of our kababayans across the board.
I believe it will happen and it can be done in our generation! We are in the midst of a great economic turnaround that we have never seen before.
In line with that and to celebrate independence day, here are tips from #ICON2014 Speakers on how you can achieve financial Independence:
On getting rich quick:
“There are no shortcuts to wealth.”
– Randell Tiongson, Best Selling Author of No Non Sense Personal Finance
On why you should invest in real estate:
“Invest in rental property, and let cashflow from rent pay for your monthly expenses. It’s a long term strategy, but your older self will thank you for starting while young.”
– Carl Dy, ICON 2014 speaker and Real Estate Guru
On how you can map out your financial independence:
“One can be financially free by just giving it proper ATTENTION. Set your goals, create a plan of action and then implement it.”
– Marvin Fausto, ICON 2014 speaker and founding president of the Fund Managers Association of the Philippines
On how you treat debt and being broke:
“When I lost millions, and was millions in debt, I only considered myself broke, never poor. Because Poor is permanent, it is a state of being; while broke is temporary, it will one day pass.”
– Jayson Lo, Best Selling Author of the Book Younique
On how you can make your business grow bigger:
“Expand on surplus!”
– Paulo Tibig, Best selling author of Entrep Champ

“financial independence is a way of life where you view money not to buy things that you want but a way to ensure brighter future for your loved ones.”

On when is the time that can you say you are rich:
“Rich is a moving target, only content people know what it means to be rich for life”
– Dennis Sy, Best Selling Author of the Book Rich For Life
On the discipline of financial independence:
“Achieving Financial Independence is not rocket science, all you need to do is develop a strong discipline of savings and investing those savings for the long term. Of course do not forget to protect yourself too as you are the most important piece of the puzzle towards financial independence.”
– Jess Uy, ICON2014 Speaker and Global Investor
On your financial independence and purpose:
“Financial independence begins with changing the way you think about finances. Money and wealth is not something you pursue, it’s something that’s given to you as you pursue your purpose.”
– Leigh De Armas, ICON2014 Organiser and CEO of BrandSpeak Asia
On God’s provision towards Financial Independence:
“Set up clear goals and a path to achieve them, and give to God what is due Him and be a giver on the whole. Then, as you faithfully pursue these two, trust God for future provision!”

On how to be financially free and happy:
