Plan to get 1 Million USD

I set a goal to have a net worth of 1 Million USD in 10 years’ time. Join me on the journey!

To make it easier I broke the amounts to achieve per year and make increments of 30% yearly more or less.

The purpose of writing and publishing it here is to visualize it, to be accountable to you, to inspire, and to show progress.

Yearly increments proposed…

  1. 50k by year 2019. DONE by June 2019.
  2. 70k by year 2020. DONE by August 2020.
  3. 100k by year 2021. DONE by April 2021.
  4. 150k by year 2022. DONE by February 2022.
  5. 200k by year 2023. DONE by July 2022.
  6. 250k by year 2024. 95.2% progress
  7. 350k by year 2025.
  8. 500k by year 2026.
  9. 700k by year 2027.
  10. 1 Million by year 2028.

Actions towards glory

  • Bought 2 apartments and a commercial space lot in 2002 and rented them out to pay for the mortgage. Loans of 120%, zero down. Results, lots of headaches, and break-even cash flow. The good side is the mortgage is being paid and contributing to the net worth every month.
  • Work as an actor and singer since 1998.
  • Work in many other tasks since 1998: waiter, farm boy, writer, social media manager, webmaster, software programmer, tour guide, language interpreter, language teacher, anything under the sun…
  • Operator for Uber / Grabcar in the Philippines. CLOSED DUE TO LOCKDOWN
  • Created and ran a coffee shop in the Philippines called iChill Theater Cafe. Since the pLandemic hit, we transferred into an online shop. BOOMING
  • Investor at Marzfuel gas stations in the Philippines. CLOSED FOR TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT

Progress and plans

  • We are ahead of target. Will create a mix of a passive steady income and concrete one-time only actions. Optimize also the ones we already have…
  • Reduce debt ahead of time so the income from real estate will give more profit each month and save tons in mortgage interest.
  • Claim pending amounts from different businesses that we are entitled to.
  • Sell feature film Changing Direction online.
  • Distribute films of other creators.
  • Accept new jobs be it performing or office work.
  • iChill online shop is growing very fast thanks to the lockdown.


Hope this helps clarify, see it and pursue it more clearly. Do you have any tips or comments, reach me out through PM in any social media channel, I am omnipresent and check the PMs personally. Thank you for joining me in this adventure!

On GREEN the things I achieved and not HIGHLIGHTED are the tasks I didn’t do. Now I realize I can post here all my pendings or it will never end. Actually I gotta fit in my agenda all the pendings so they are scheduled in realistic time frames.

I also realize how I spen time doing NOT URGENT & NOT IMPORTANT tasks when I should have done those pending tasks…

Why do I do those little things when I’m supposed to do the most important ones? Why do I get lazy about certain tasks and procrastinate forever? Why do I auto-sabotage myself very frequently?

But hey, I got to do a lot of immportant things. Specially the money part today.
