Over my 10-year stint in the corporate world, I have had the great opportunity to experience quite a number of seminars all over the country. While some were just fair, a lot were excellent - at least to my standards of a) content, b) impact, and c) VFE (venue, food, etc.).
I have 3 rankings, by the way:
Bad : below expectations / unimpressive
Good : within expectations / enough to impress me
Excellent : beyond expectations / very impressive
It was via review blogs (and Brother Bo Sanchez' website) early this year via the internet that I first stumbled upon Jomar Hilario’s wealth breakthrough 2011 seminar schedule. After weeks pondering about it, I finally signed up some 2 weeks before the Mar 19, 2011 seminar date. Note: signing up means going to BDO, paying the seminar fee of P2,750, and emailing Jomar re confirmation, to which he himself replied a few hours after. After that, I received 2 other reminder emails from his VA re further instructions.
Below is the rest of my story.
First up, my commute to and from the province:
The commute from my province to Taguig went surprisingly smooth. Bus to Manila; MRT to Guadalupe: Jeepney to Palar, ; Then a final tricycle ride to Rosewood Pointe, the venue. All in all, the commute to the venue took me 3 hrs. Or a little longer as I needed a breakfast stop at Jolibee Edsa.
The commute back was longer as already, traffic became part of the picture.
Rosewood Pointe (the venue):
Am I allowed to say OMG? Bagay ba? Coz I feel too old for these stuff. I’m nearing 40s, har! Anyway, my promdi nature made me stare in awe at the very nice residential area which was Rosewood and its amenities. How awed was i? Almost immediately, I called up my wife to tell her “pang-mayaman pala dito”. So promdi talaga, right?
Let me also mention how the guards at the front gate treated me well and with a lot of courtesy. They deserve a space in my blog too!
Jomar’s staff were also accommodating. A quick check of my ID and presto! A red ribbon mamon and drinking water were handed to me. Like they read my mind. By now, the other participants were starting to arrive. I was led to a waiting area near the pool, where I was joined by a fellow early bird, Tito.
After a few minutes chatting with my new friend, I had my first glimpse of Jomar. In the flesh: In blue polo, and in smiles. Soon we were called to the room. It was 8:55am.
The sessions:
Introductions, introductions, then off we went to this internet marketing world Jomar wanted us to discover. I really cannot disclose everything he said. But I can mention his style and my thoughts on the entire seminar:
Jomar did impress me. He was cool and unassuming and believable all at the same time. He was funny, spoke in Tag-lish all throughout the session, and made sure the participants were involved. To me, he was this bigger than life hotshot with an honest mission. He wanted us to “get it”. Get the whole picture, and start from there. His guest speakers, Jay Castillo and Sha Castillo were remarkable as well.
The verdict
Over-all, it was “Excellent”. I can forgive the mosquitoes inside the venue as the content, delivery and impact to me were beyond expectations. Definitely worth every cent I paid for. I didn’t even mind the fact that we extended for about an hour, hence my breaking of the curfew time set on me by the wifey (joke, of course).
Enough talk. Yep, definitely, I shall tell my friends about Jomar’s seminar.
PS.
If you happen to read this, Jomar, hats off to you. And a million thanks to you and my man, brother Bo Sanchez. I am inspired.
