Colayco Foundation Financial and Investing Literacy Program

I attended a Pera Palaguin webinar conducted by Mr Francisco Colayco and Armand Bengco of the Colayco Foundation for Education, Inc. The webinar was very informative and insightful. It was a good learning experience with Mr Colayco and Mr Bengco who selflessly shared their knowledge and expertise about investing and the different ways where to invest our money in and how to make our money grow fast. But while I enjoyed everything about the webinar, there are a number of key principles Mr Colayco mentioned that really stuck in my mind and I would like to share with you.

According to Mr Colayco, we must feel the need for urgency to create wealth and to empower ourselves to  build our wealth. If we don't feel the urgency of our need, more likely we will never act and do something.  Wealth accumulation is not achieved overnight, but over time. And to build our wealth overtime, he said we need to have self-discipline, determination and decisiveness. Qualities that are always key ingredients for success in any endeavors in life and also in our financial life.

Mr Colayco also emphasized the need to increase our financial and investing intelligence. We all need  to increase our financial IQ, and also to learn the basics of investing. Many people make investing issue appear complicated, but it is easy and we should not be intimidated by it. We just have to learn the basic and gradually increase our understanding of it. If we have high financial and investing IQ and know when and how to invest in the right instruments, we can take advantage of different investment opportunities available. That way we can build and accumulate wealth much faster.

To know more opportunities how you could increase your financial and investing intelligence, you can turn  to the Colayco Foundation for Education, Inc.
