I am Grace Tianchon Flores, born and raise as a champion is General Santos City. I am a Micro Entrepreneur, Financial Educator and an Investor. I am the second in the family but at an early age, I carried the responsibility of our eldest.
Growing up, I already knew the value of money. My dad was a bus driver while my mom used to manage our small sari sari store and carenderia.
During my high school days, my dad lost his job and later, also lost the sari- sari store and carenderia.
That downfall in our lives didn’t stop me from pursuing my dreams. I went to college through a scholarship program while doing a part time job as a Jollibee service crew.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accountancy and soon landed a job as a Management Trainee for Jollibee Foods Corporations. I passed my training with flying colors and
stayed with JFC for 5 years. Later in my corporate career, I worked with different companies handling both operations and sales department.
There’s a saying that “ a rolling stone gathers more snow”. Indeed, I gathered enough idea for me to put up my own businesses. As of the moment, I am the owner and CEO of a Grasam Laundry Shop in Makati with three (3) branches. I am one of the stockholder and CEO of a Pizza Food chain with five (5) branches in General Santos City and Davao. I'm doing this while still investing in mutual fund, stock market and real estate. Since 2014. I am one of DTI-PTTC consultant doing lectures on Money Management and Investment Strategies
I learned about International Marketing Group (IMG) thru an old friend whom I haven't seen for a long time and we happen to meet in a jeepney.
We chatted and ended at her office. She let me sit in one of the lectures which happened to be about Mutual Fund.
While listening, I realized how bad my decisions were with some of my previous investments. It's the consequence of investing without studing first.
After attending the lecture , I immediately signed up for the memebrship. I was so thirsty for knowledge and attended evey financial seminars which are free since im now an IMG Member.
After sometime, I joined the trainer’s group even though I didn’t have any experience in doing lectures but amazingly, I discovered that I have the talent for it and I can touch lives through my lectures.
It then opened more doors for me to conduct lectures in a small group, big groups, in company’s financial wellness program and even on DTI’s Caravan for Small and Medium Entrepreneurs.
This made me even more eager to invest and I made sure to build a strong financial foundation starting with my Kaiser Long-term Healthcare Plan which
gave me even peace of mind while investing.
They said your family will be your first critics and YES they are. I, too experience the same. But if we don’t give up on our family, they will eventually see your purpose. Take little steps. Pause if you’re tired but don’t give up!
