Last Tuesday, September 20, we are gathered in a Career Talk hosted by GMA news TV. The event started at 8am but we went there at around 12nn which was already session 3 of 4. The host was Ms. Regine Tolentino and there were celebrities like Mikael Daez and Benj Alves who shared their college life, and guest speakers like Mr. Kirk Damasco - a Young Entrepreneur and Brand Developer of Get Blued, Worship Generation and many more, and Ms. Mica Tan - Youngest Millionaire/Millennial Millionaire and President & CEO of MFT Group of Companies.

I was very pleased and honored to meet this woman. I haven’t got any selfies with her, tho. Anyway, when Ms. Regine introduced her, I found myself speechless. I was just smiling throughout her talk!
At the age of 13, she began trading stocks. Her journey started when she visit the Philippine Stock Exchange office to look for people who would be willing to teach her how to trade. Where unfortunately, most people turned her down.
“Luckily, there’s this one lady from Regina Capital, a brokerage firm, who took me seriously and walked me through the process of trading,”
It was then she was able to get access to the trading floor. And by the time she turned 20, she built her own company and called it MFT Group of Companies. She was named the ‘Youngest Millionaire’, since at the age of 23, she is already earning Millions. And now 24 years old turning 25.

She entitled her talk ‘Heart Broken and Broke’. As she shared that she was heart broken twice by then and was broke knowing she is disappointing her parents. But all of that made her who she is today.
I saw myself in her story. The way she thinks to make money at the very young age, how she tries to engage in different businesses in her teenage life and how her family discouraged her. “Did she just copy my story there? I’m seeing myself in this woman in front of me!”
I wanna be just like Mica Tan. Not to be awarded the 2nd Youngest millionaire, but to be a Mica Tan. A young woman of vision and courage - that’s what I saw in her that I lack. And from then, I know from the bottom of my hypothalamus that I just want to be like Mica Tan. And someday, I know I will be just like her.
“To my fellow entrepreneurs and to those who aspire to be one, I encourage you to take risks. I do things I’m afraid to do. Find your own niche and get better. Surround yourself with people better than you because you’ll learn a lot from them.”
