Sometimes, equipping yourself with the right set of skills and having a good set of values can just be
your key to greatness.

Let these bigwigs’ journey towards where they are now serve as inspiration and guide for anyone who
dares to dream big.

“There is no such thing as overnight success or easy money. If you fail, do not be discouraged; try again.”

Henry Sy, the man who built the SM empire from the ground up, is living proof that success can only be
achieved through perseverance.

Nowadays, his legacy can be seen and experienced through his large-scale shopping malls all over the
country

Tony came from humble beginnings before he rose up to the top.

“Hard work, perseverance and foresight, plus having the right people working with me to develop and
sustain the business are key elements to my success.”

Alfredo Yao started the Zest-O Corporation through sheer determination. He’s a self-made businessman
who lived an impoverished life

ATTITUDE IS KEY. Success is never about your abilities but what you do with your abilities.

They also have goals, fears. They have succeeded in getting their businesses to the top but they are not
impervious to failures. In fact, most of them have really built their businesses from the ground up,
overcoming challenges and working day in and day out to get to where they are now.

What I noticed though is they have this singular attitude that really helped propel these Top 10 Forbes’
Richest Filipino Billionaires of 2018 to success. And if we want to be like them or at least be able to
achieve a quarter, half or more than they have achieved, I suggest we work on developing the same kind
of attitude.

The “rags-to-riches” SM retail chain and BDO Universal Bank founder Henry Sy, Sr. has strong work ethic,
exemplifying the adage: “There is no substitute for hard work.” Even at his stature, he would work late
at night and there is no holiday for him. His daily exercise? Walking around the mall so he can also check
things out. He has inculcated the same value to his children.

All this won’t happen if not for his vision to go global and his sheer gumption to get at it.

The founder of Jollibee is as humble as a bee in his business dealings and life. Tony Tan Caktiong down-
to-earth attitude allowed him to see and feel the pulse of the masses. Franchisees also like and trust
him, perhaps because he was also a franchisee himself. Jollibee actually started out as a franchise of an
ice cream parlor but noticing what the market needs, he slowly added products like burgers. Thus,
Jollibee was born.

Thus ended the most amazing saga of entrepreneurship in one of Asia’s most dynamic economies, the
Philippines, home to the world’s 12th largest consumer market.

“I held on to my convictions,” he explained his ability to succeed in the face of seemingly


insurmountable odds. “By nature, I am curious and adventurous. I like the excitement of change and
new and better ideas.”

Bold with dreams and vision

“While I am not big with words,” he said, “I am big and bold with my dreams and vision.”

Henry paid attention to the comfort of his customers who, in turn, were thrilled and shopped amid the
modern amenities.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
