About Me
I'm Jan Mckingley Hilado but most of my online buddies call me "Janmck" (pronounced as Jan-Mack). I'm 19 Years young from the beautiful city of Cebu, Philippines, and a 2nd year Nursing Student in Cebu Normal University last March 2008. BUT then.. I chose to chart my own destiny... I QUIT SCHOOL...

A Brief History
Even when I was just in my Elementary and Highschool Days, my Father and Life Mentor, Tony Hilado had already brought me to many Business Conferences and Seminars and lots of Business Opportunity Meeting from different Network Marketing Companies. My photo above was even taken on a Business Opportunity Meeting of a certain company :) Not only that, my Father also let me read all of his Self-Help, Personal Development, and Business books.Also, I was already selling to other people at a young age. And because of this, managing and owning a Business became one of my Passions in life next to Traveling (see my travel blog, Best Places In The World).
When I got to college, it was the time that the BS Nursing course became a craze! So instead of taking up Business courses, I decided to take up Nursing course and just thought that I will just create a Business out of my course. Then..
Sometime In June 2008...
Through the Truly Rich Workshop by Bo Sanchez, my Spiritual Mentor, I was able attend an Internet Marketing Workshop in Manila by Jomar Hilario, my newly found Mentor in Internet Marketing. My dad was supposed to attend the workshop but since he's not a "techie" guy, he let me attend the workshop.
And since I was already selling physical stuffs on the internet through the use of ebay, I was motivated to attend the workshop to get more ideas. By the end of the workshop, I was amazed at the possibility of how much you can earn and succeed through Internet Marketing, not just by selling Physical stuffs, but also selling, inexhaustible products called, Information Products or by offering Advertisement Spaces on your website. Not only that, I was also astounded at the possibility of how we can market our Physical Business and services to the virtual world.
And because of that, My mind was converted to formulating new ideas for my Internet Marketing business instead of focusing on "treating a patient". And since I was able to get my Return Of Investment from the workshop in less than 5 months, and make the same amount monthly, passively, I was more motivated to concentrate on this Business. So I told Jomar Hilario that we'll also organize the same workshop in Cebu with him as the speaker, so other Cebuanos could also join the workshop without having to travel to Manila. And he agreed. Then...
On December 2008...
My Dad told me that on my 18th Birthday on January, he will ask me the BIGGEST DECISION I have to make in my entire 18 years. On..
January 2009...
He asked me If I should continue my Nursing course or Shift to a new course that would fit my skills and personality. And.. I.. was mute..
Then on..
April 2009..
My Dad and I decided to take a vacation to Vietnam and Cambodia as something to "Clear my mind". After 2 weeks of Fun, Exciting, and "Mind Clearing" vacation in Vietnam and Cambodia, I decided...
TO STOP PURSUING MY NURSING COURSE and maybe shift to another course or worse (better), stop my Formal Education for the moment. :) So..
Sometime In April 2009 again,
My Dad, Jomar Hilario, and I decided to bring the same Internet Marketing workshop in Cebu and organize it on June 12-13 2009.
June 12-13, 2009, 1st Cebu Internet Marketing Workshop
I was able to organize my first event, the Cebu Internet Marketing Workshop. We had "full-house" that time that we even declined some "Walk-In Participants". It was a great success that we decided to have a take 2!
That 1st event I have organized made way for me to dramatically increase my network. Many people have started contacting me for Joint Ventures Businesses and other stuffs. That's when I fully decided I stop my formal education for the moment and focus on my Business first. :)
September 3-4, 2009, 1st Cagayan De Oro Internet Marketing Workshop
I was able to organize my 2nd Internet Marketing Workshop Event, but now, it's in Cagayan De Oro. It was also a success and even Jomar Hilario said that it was the Best, and smoothest workshop he had done so far.
October 3, 2009, Butuan City Franchise Seminar
I was able to organize a franchise seminar too in Butuan City, with speaker, and my Business Franchise Mentor, Rudolf Kotik.
December 12-13, 2009, 2nd Cebu Internet Marketing Workshop
The responses from our 1st Cebu Internet Marketing Workshop was great that we decided to organize for the 2nd time in Cebu, the workshop. This workshop was filled by people all around the Philippines including Manila, Aklan, and Davao! Another successful workshop and the participants had a great time networking with each other and some of them are doing business together right now. :)
And soon to come...
April 10, 2010, The "How To Correctly Start An Internet Marketing Business" Workshop
P.S.
If you're wondering if I still have plans to go back to school, then lets just see this coming school year what will happen... :D
