About Joan Veronica Trojillo
Thank you for visiting my site.
I am Joan Veronica Trojillo. I am a wife and a mother to two beautiful daughters.
It was in 2013 when I got tired of living paycheck to paycheck, and decided to get a financial overhaul. Not knowing where to start, God led me to Bo Sanchez's Truly Rich Club. I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, saw an invitation about his How to Heal Yourself Naturally seminar, I registered my mother, my aunt and myself (because I will be driving for them), he mentioned about Truly Rich Club which has a mission of helping good people become truly rich, and he also invited the attendees to The Feast, a spiritual community.
As soon as I got home, I signed up for Truly Rich Club. And the Sunday after that, I was attending the 8am session of The Feast in PICC, driving all the way from Tarlac. The rest was history.
I learned to change my whole mindset about money. I gained mentors, read financial books, recognized opportunities as side hustles for additional income, attended seminars, shifted from being a spender to a saver and now an investor, and most importantly, I immediately applied everything I was learning. This journey brought about the birth of this blog, Financial Planning for Pinoys.
As for side hustles, I was an affiliate marketer, I sold clothes varying from brand new to ukay ukay, I distributed organic liniments, I organized agricultural tours, and I became a Licensed Financial Professional. My goal was then was to be able to quit my job before I turn 40, and take care of my young kids full time.
Five years later, with a lot of long hours working (I meet with my clients and go on agricultural tours during weekends), learning and investing, I was able to quit my job in May of 2018, before my 36th Birthday! I have ticked off my ultimate goal! And it was very fulfilling as I spend each day and each night with my kids. Not only do I see them grow over the years, but I am happy to be growing with them, too.
Raising them would be my greatest achievement.
But four years later, in 2022, I realized that life that does not end when we have fulfilled our dreams. But this is only the beginning of dreaming again, this time something bigger than myself. I am on a mission of journeying towards financial freedom with fellow Filipinos worldwide, one content at a time.
And this fuels me to wake up early every morning, thanking God for another day to be closer to that goal. And every part of that journey is shared in this blog.
