After applying the principles he learned from Jack’s book and his live seminar, John went on to becoming a sought after sales consultant to top corporations in his country and immediately rose from being broke to becoming a multi-millionaire in less than one year.     Today, John Calub, is recognized by the biggest media companies in his country as the Philippines’ number one success coach and persuasion guru.  He is the founder of John Calub Training International, an academy for personal development.  His workshops have already produced thousands of success stories and multi-millionaires in Asia.  He is the founder of Success Community, the fastest growing online mastermind group in the world with membership growing at an exponential rate.  He has been quoted in publications like Forbes Magazine, Entrepreneur, et al.  His amazing life story has been featured in two New York Times best-selling books of Jack Canfield namely the Success Prinicples (10th Anniversary Edition) and Living The Success Priniciples.
