Okay, let me be more accurate. Bo's maid is now half-a-millionaire. =)
Currently, Bro Bo updated that his first maid—the first one who started her investment program under his guidance—now has P518,844 in her stock market portfolio! Great job! And she’s only 30 years old.
Bo added that if she keeps investing, she’ll have P15 Million by the time she hits 50. Note: A maid! (Though she's been promoted as a bookkeeper).
I was lucky to see her personally during the Wealth Summit 2013 last March 1.
Her name is Gina, and all I can say is she's a very humble lady.
You wouldn't even think that there are hundreds of thousands at the back of her meek aura.
When she was called by Bo up on the stage and asked her how much is her current investment, I felt how happy Gina was while answering it teary-eyed. Moments like that are precious memories where you see people with changed lives.
Sometimes I start to think if I can be a good maid, give up my career and serve Brother Bo while absorbing and learning from him. Wachathink?
So why am I sharing you this update?
Two reasons.
First, because I know for a fact that many people were inspired from this story (I for one!) so I thought that updates like this can continue the fire inside these people. You know, many times we need to be reminded often to continue the action we had started. So this one is to set that fire burning again!
Second, because I also use their stocks portfolio performance as one of my baselines when checking the performance of my own portfolio. Since we follow the same strategy of the club, any difference in our performance means I might have done something different. I'm sometimes intrigued how they exactly do it.
To give you a historical update, below are some of their previous "records":
As of Oct 26, 2012, this first maid had P363,658 in her Stock Market account!
His other maid, let’s call her Maid 2, then had 210,847 in her account!
In another update sent last June 28, Maid 1 had P308,388 while Maid 2 had P176,465.
So in a span of four months, Maid 1 had an increase in its investment amounting to 55,270 while Maid 2 had an investment increase of 34,382.
So putting the numbers we have now, the investment of Gina have increased by P155,186 in a span of almost five months!
Quite a nice reward!
And I could only think of two reasons behind all this good news: (1) the discipline Gina has in saving and keeping her investment; and (2) the favorable bull market we're having now.
It’s very true when Brother Bo said that his maids are now richer than many managers!
Hope this update pushes you more for your own dreams.
And I hope that we all catch the discipline and the bull market harvest too!
Have fun investing (keeping the dream within)!
