I don’t know how long it will take me to read all of those books, yet the journey of a thousand reads begins with one page.

I was inspired to learn about their stories because of this Pinoy Dad Loses All His Savings… Then Figures Out How To Get It All Back, And More! Yes, his story gives nuggets of wisdom including a twist on the Law of Attraction (the missing ingredient).

If I go through one book a week, then that’s about 15 months.
