I joined Greatway because I used to work four to five jobs before and didn't have a day off or time for my family, which affected my health and relationships. I don't want to sacrifice my health and relationships to earn a living. My goal is to provide a better life for my family and extended family back home in the Philippines. I also want to be a blessing to many.
Helping secure Canadians since July 2016.
When I was 12 years old, I started to work on the farm together with my father. Then, I was a vendor and construction worker. Our life back then was tough, and we were very poor. I started to dream when I was in high school of becoming a doctor. It was impossible back then because of our situation.
I decided to work at McDonald's Philippines while attending college. I did not continue my studies because of many struggles in life, so I decided to focus on my job for 16 and half years, which became my comfort zone
I worked in Middle East McDonald's as the store manager and brought my family there too with my wife and three kids. Our life was good. However, we cannot become permanent residents, so my wife and I decided to apply to Canada. Unfortunately, she got denied, so I made a hard decision to be separated again.
After coming to Canada in 2014, I did four to five jobs. 7 am to 8:30 am as a janitor, 9 am to 2 pm as a kitchen helper, and 4 pm to 12 midnight as McDonald's manager. After my shift, I picked up empty bottles and cans, and I used to clean houses and offices during my days off.
I discovered Greatway in 2015. At first, I said no, but it was good. I said yes the second time and was excited to do the business. However, I got frustrated because the insurance council told me I could not get my license. After all, I was not a permanent resident yet.
I got my permanent resident status to march 2016, and my family came in July 2016. A few months later, I realized I didn't have time for my family because of my jobs. I talked to my wife and told her that I studied finance and got my license. All I need is to finish my training, so I did.
I decided to do Greatway as my part-time job from July 2016 to May 2018. I was surprised after the year 2017 because, at McDonald's, my income for the whole year is $40,000. Still, in Greatway, as my part-time job doing once a week and sometimes 3 to 4 times a month, I was able to earn $52,000 part-time.
My breakthrough started after I attended the convention in Vancouver. After three months, I left McDonald's to focus on this business because I believe it will help us live the life we deserve and be a blessing to many.
I sacrificed a lot, and yes, the pain is there but what I see are the gains. I drove 10 to 12 hours, flew from different provinces in Canada to share what we do, and true enough, God is fantastic because he answered my prayer. I am licensed in 9 provinces and have a team in 8 across Canada.
Indeed, Greatway changed our lives for the better. We got many awards yearly, from 100k in 2019 to 500k in 2022 (Ring Earner), Personal Production Champion, free travels, Agency builder Champion in year 2022, and being promoted to Senior Vice Presidents on December 30, 2020.
At this moment, my wife and I enjoyed spending time with our children. We have more options in life when we have more money. With more resources, we can give more and become more. I believe that this is the essence of financial freedom.
I am forever grateful to our generous CEO and Lead Mentor, Marlon Antonio, for bringing Greatway into our life. I am also thankful and blessed to have a supportive wife and children. They are always on my side and understand the sacrifices needed for us to become successful.
From being a farmer, construction worker, vendor, and McDonald's employee (as a burger engineer), juggling four to five jobs. From not having days off and not time for my family, my dream was to become a doctor. Now I can proudly say that I am the best version of myself, and I am now a doctor, a Money Doctor.
