When looking at success stories it’s easy to spot certain patterns and variables.

Everybody is different. Each person no matter how similar, differs on what circumstances life has brought them. But for those who paved their road through the obstacles and persevered through the barriers to achieve success, there were common actions and mindsets that set them apart, each step of the way.

Exertus Financial Partners & Insurance Agency’s CEO, Eric Antonio, came from a humble background in the Philippines. When you meet Eric and you hear about his story, or you see him successfully mentor his team of financial partners who call him “Kuya” (which means big brother in the Philippines), two clear factors come to mind: Self-Discipline and Perseverance.

Eric, as a young child growing up and witnessing the hardships that life presents, made a decision. A decision that no one made for him, a promise to himself that nothing could compromise: He decided he was going to be successful.

From that moment on Eric taught himself the importance of self-discipline in order to achieve his goals, and, as he achieved them, he became another example of what he preaches: Success is not determined by external factors. It’s entirely dependent on you, your mindset, your attitude, your discipline and your dedication to achieving your dreams.

Eric Antonio is now the CEO of Exertus Financial Partners & Insurance Agency, where he leads a team of mentors to help other people pave their road to success and financial freedom.
