So much riches, inconvertible into cash

I've got so much riches, inconvertible to cash. God gives me so much and Mama Mary, too. But in the end, it's still kinda hard to convert it into cash. I know it would have been easier in richer countries with richer economies but here in the Philippines, there's so much need for money. There's so much poor people around that so many could not afford the products no matter how available. An evidence could be the lack of opportunity for me as I have experienced in my job hunting adventures. It took me years and years to forever apply for a job not knowing why I keep on not being accepted in jobs. If I had been more tenacious in my younger years, I would have just started a company and not wasted all those years applying for a job. So much opportunity has gone by. Now, I am selling things even though there is still no income, no buyers at the moment. My business is still in the development stage. I know I have to capture the market and I will work on it. I am still getting used to the promotion side of things. And have to get used to always be upbeat in promoting, marketing and selling all my products. Waah, it's been pretty exciting. There's some truth to the saying that do not do it for money. Do it because you love it! I am gonna be a professional marketer. I will do my best, I promise. If sales should be the lifeblood of a company, I quote myself. Just came from a techie expo at a convention center in the metropolis. Good to learn about the technologies. As for the title of this blog. I know God is giving me so much. But they are just inconvertible to cash as of now. My comforts would say that I would just devote my time studying maybe for a short time, maybe for two years. But I wouldn't be able to afford it unless I work. So, with the little money that I get from my mom and relative, I will invest it in marketing activities for my future endeavor, a future company which I hopefully would be registering in the coming month. I hope to earn something maybe after two weeks to four weeks of marketing. If not, everything is charged to experience. All is done even without money. The question is raised whether you raise money or not. There are some people who are very good in money making. Me, I still need to train myself rigorously, try and try until I succeed, and do not stop until I bring home the bacon. I have so many contacts already but nobody takers. Only those without salaries are inviting me and not those with salaries. How come? Money again is the subject. I was figuring out why Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki entitled their book Why We Want You To Be Rich. I've realized it before. As I was thinking about economy in my early to late twenties. I know, personally the reason for me why I want other people to be rich also is because there would be somebody who will buy my products. It is a free market. If plenty of people have lots of money, then they will spend to purchase your products. It would be a richer economy. I really hope we reach that stage. It's hard to make money in the Philippines because, it's just hard, ha ha, that's it. You grew up from a stage where you are right now and you try to live a richer life by working hard. Each time I walk the streets of Metro Manila, it is like a hundred pesos for me or even more. Then, you have to satisfy yourself with let's say P300 everytime you go out. And it's only good for about 3 hours. So if your hourly rate is P100 then if you go out on the average about 12 hours a day, then you've got to have P1200 each day just for your lunch money. The rest of your other expenses need to be satisfied by working harder. I entrusted it to God already. I know it is Him who gives the sun and the rain for fruits to grow from your yard. It is the same with business. I know He's the one whose gonna give you money and blessings. May I be able to see them as blessings and not as work dressed in overalls. So with all the efforts I have done and still no money, what do I have to do? Well, keep on doing, keep on selling and marketing and keep on praying. Pray harder. That might do the trick. And sell more. And as a personal advice to myself, be committed, dedicated and focused.

Still in search for that moolah

Searching for money is an everyday job. You work some, you eat some, you spend some. My ideas are always to look for a job. Which to my misfortune, doesn't always work. Except maybe if I apply in a call center. I used to have offers before in the call center industry and accounting practice. In sales, I really minimally sold stuff to relatives. I wasn't the saturate the market type of a salesperson. I think big and therefore the details are not thought of by me anymore which I think should be necessary in sales. I have to find somebody whose gonna pay me while I am doing sales. It's just so hard striving to sell something especially walking down the streets when you know that your money is limited. I have the option, the idea to do accounting practice which for sure is gonna have clients but to my detriment, I dislike doing accounting. It wasn't a course for me. Honestly, I am feeling a sense of competition as my nephew is studying the same course in the same school as I studied. Well, it wasn't my choice. And it wasn't his choice either. It was my grandma's and family's choice and my nephew's parents' choice. I somehow think how he is gonna pay later. Well, as for me, I paid for 12 years now. This unemployment thing is something that I couldn't figure out. In the sense that how come all throughout these years nobody wanted to hire me. I guess, it was all about a matter of competition especially for the new grads or the more experienced one. I met once a fellow accounting job aspirant/applicant. She's got many experiences, even took hold of higher positions in accounting but she isn't a CPA. Me, I am a CPA and still nobody would hire me. How's that for a competition. You just couldn't/wouldn't understand things. I have repeatedly applied with this BPO Company which always declined me. And they are always advertising openings, even lots of it in the ads. How come they wouldn't hire me well in fact I know I am capable. It surely is because they were looking at how your resume looks and not how you are qualified or is capable of doing the job. It isn't a question of being able to do the job anymore. It is a question of a well-written, well composed, great content resume. Well, I can say that all through out these years when nobody gave me a chance, I was working hard. I was studying by watching tv and reading books and attending seminars to learn all that I could. I had the blessing to do all those stuffs. What I didn't do is the chance to work or go out to sell because I don't have the allowance to do something for which I don't know if something is gonna return. Sales is something that I haven't yet discovered how it really, really works. All I knew is that I like to buy, I like stuff and that people buy things because they are consumers. I just can't get it when I have to think about sales and then, I just imagine it or myself walking along the dirty, hot, smoky streets of the metropolis, just to do sales. I want to discover how the thought processes of the successful salespeople really go! I wanted to do sales. I wanted to be a marketing professional, all my life. I wanted to commit to this. To be dedicated to this because for me, somebody who knows how to sell wouldn't go hungry, wouldn't be poor, wouldn't be a beggar in the streets. I know I have the talent for it. I just wanted to have all the money I need and want right now before I do some selling on the streets or on the office buildings of my clients/customers. I don't have capital for a business. My family is not entirely rich. To avail of loans, you need a 3 year FS. How can you go first in to a business without money? That's the very reason why you are applying for that loan. Coz you need the money? I hope somebody grants loans because they are just starting a business and no need for a requirement to have collateral or riches under your name in order to avail of that loan. That's ironic. I think it is very difficult. And when nobody trusts in you or had given you a chance, they wouldn't know that you were hungry. My body aches for Millions of Cash. My efforts are exhausting like a Million Pesos. And I get tired at the end of the day, after my day out, and it's worth Million Pesos worth or tiredness...How come others create money as effortlessly like maybe when I read about Bo Sanchez. He's just too cool! Maybe, I am not as inspired as a child anymore. I experience the trouble of living in this life. It is very hard. And somewhere I read that nobody said it would be easy. I know I am all grown up and should be capable of earning the money that I want which is a Gazillion pesos...I hope that God gives me the ideas to be able to make that much of a money. And hope that God answers my prayers to refresh me each time when I feel the tiredness after toiling for work. My efforts for applying for a job is almost exhausted. And I am about to give up! Maybe I have made a mistake, a youthful mistake, that's what I would call it, when I turned down 4 job offers and some informal job offers or business opportunities out there. I know I should be able to change the way I think about these things. But what really matters. We all grow up. We pass through this life and we make mistakes. And we learn from them. God teaches us lessons. Sometimes, I think I have failed God when it comes to Simplicity and Humility and Pride. I know for taking for granted all those opportunities, I have overseen the blessings that God is trying to give me. I am sorry that I wasn't able to give to my family financial support, the mission that I felt God was giving me when I was just starting, a fresh grad. I felt that I have chosen some things that I like, hoping that it would be given to me in this world but apparently, in our country, based on my experience, you don't always get to your dreams. You don't always get a dream job. You have to settle for what's there. What's available to you. What is given to you by God. If I would be doing something that I love to do, I have to pay for it big time. I have to work for it. So hard. So stubbornly. So dedicatedly. I can do alot of things but my money could not afford it. Even this blog wouldn't be possible if not for my sister who is more employable than me, who gave me this laptop or my Uncle who convinced me, invited me to write blogs on the net. Thanks to them. And thanks to my realistic writings on Facebook, I have garnered 3 detractors, how 'bout that? Peace to you, my friends, my worthy opponents. I do not wish to have some enemies in this world. I like a life of Peace. And good relationships until the end of my life. One thing though, I think I am quite of a writer. How come nobody wanted to get me as a freelance writer. Maybe, it's not about talent. It's about tenacity. It's about fulfillment. It's about achievement. I am happy with what I have. But I need money. How about P500000 for a month. I guess, when I have that I'll be contented. Until then, I would have to struggle. So, that is my GOAL now! Ha ha! Goodluck to me.

Ang Pera Na Di Bitin Book Review

I came from the Manila International Book Fair 2010 at the SMX Convention, MOA. I was browsing through all the bookshops and publishers there. Then, I chanced upon OMF Lit. I was looking for some books and then they announced over the audio that they have this book called Ang Pera na Di Bitin which only costs P50. I suddenly became interested in it and came looking for it. I came to the counter and there I found a number of copies of the book. I immediately grabbed one for I am so interested to find out its contents. This was it. This was the book that I was looking for. Small. Handy. Cheap, at an affordable price. Very much worth it. Affordable for someone like me who has gone through different business books and yet never quite earned a buck or two from it because it is just too complex to read. But this book is short. Short enough to make you interested the whole time you are reading it. Plus, it's Tagalog and English and so easily understood by any average Filipino.

I liked all the parts of it. But most especially the one talking about having a business having said Magnegosyo Ka. I am on the lookout for motivation to do business here in our country coz it is a known fact that sometimes salaries cannot be stretched enough to meet all our pressing obligations. So, what do you do? You find an extra income. Something to do at your spare time and makes you earn something. And that was found in the book. The book is very much helpful and inspirational. It is written in Tagalog so it is very much easily understood. And it's motivational in the sense that it urges you to become an entrepreneur in your own right and like everybody is welcome to be an entrepreneur, anybody can be a student of business or entrepreneurship. I bought the book coz I want to learn more about money and business and it is Bible-based and so being a woman of faith, I sort of adhere to the lessons written on the book as I believe very much about the lessons of money in the Bible.

I liked particularly Maging Enterprising at Matutong Magbenta. Coz I want to go into selling stuffs to different people. That way I can earn so much for myself. That way I need not go hungry for money anymore. With the right selling skills, you cannot go hungry. For me, selling is basic. You eat first sometimes before you are an actor/actress or writer or any other job. So selling something is very basic to earn something for food, for your needs in this world. The world is material and it is inevitable that we should sell. We sell ourselves one way or the other and so we need not be shy about selling stuffs especially if your baby or your family is about to go hungry for the day. Give us this day our daily bread.

It is inspirational that it teaches the common Filipino about how to handle money, how to have an attitude towards money. And it even is exciting to read because it has drawings which are kinda funny and makes you more interested to read the texts of the book.

The book tells about business, investments, savings, debt management and so on. It teaches the readers about money and the lessons of money from the Bible. What God has to say about money. Hope this book teaches to people what God wanted to teach His people about money.

I also particularly like the personal stories of Mr. Eduardo O. Roberto, Jr., his struggles about money and how he put God first and just let the problems go by and just letting God take care of all his woes and how God answered him. To trust God is really the solution to our problems.

Having read the book, we wouln't go Bitin anymore with our money and it would definitely teach us how to have Ang Pera na Hindi Bitin.

The writer of this blog, Ella Untalan, does business consulting and life coaching and does business start-ups, a CPA, she has read the book and has quite learned the secret to having money written in a short compact and easy-to-understand book by Eduardo O.

When sickness calls

As of now, I am having some stomach pains again. But it kinda eases my pain when I write or do something with my laptop while I have some sickness in my body because I know I am doing something that would help other people. I know in some ways my writing could reach out to a lot of people. I hope I am able to help them. I prayed together with the priest on tv, even touching my tummy and raising my other hand to pray to God to heal me of my stomach pain. Unfortunately, I think I overate again last night. Something that I couldn't watch out for when I am eating only to feel it when the pain is already there and I am already suffering from indigestion. I felt again that feeling of total abandonment to the Lord when you are sick. I felt I was a child again of the Lord. I felt He was taking care of me. I promised before not to eat too much. Well , sometimes, I forget especially if my tummy is not aching. Please help me Lord to remember in the future. Please help me Lord to remember always and to do this as a sacrifice to the people who are hungry. I offer all this pain and sickness for the healing of the world from hurts, pains, sickness and all kinds of evils. I know this sickness call is God's call and He is claiming me once again and teaching me some lessons and taking good care of me.

Jabez Appointments

Read the book The Prayer of Jabez for Teens. I bought it at Booksale and it was justP45. It was semi-old and had an inscription in its frontpage. It a very helpful book. There was a mention about Jabez appointments. According to the book, Jabez appointments are like God-orchestrated meetings or phone calls between two people where God made these two people meet so that they might help each other out. I had one such as that that maybe I could call a Jabez Appointment. I was reading some GoNegosyo Books at the National Bookstore at Shangri-la. Then all of a sudden there was this Chinese woman who talked to me and asked me if the book on the shelf was the latest edition of the Go Negosyo series. I said I think so. And we talked about business, we talked about me, about me having or not having work for so long, that I am a CPA and that she is involved in some business. She was very friendly and I know could be trustworthy. I was kinda shy I must admit and don't know what to say. Finally, it ended up she offering me a job and we exchanging phone numbers. That was I think a Jabez moment, appointment. Anyway, I am planning to text her. Unfortunately, I was so shy to answer her before and my phone was busted so I wasn't able to answer her when she was calling. This happened in May. I felt it was kind of those destiny meetings. I wish to be her friend. I know what to do! I'd just call her up. Who knows what could happen to our relationship?

Now is the time!

Now is the time to prove myself. For my family, for my mom, for myself, my friends, my God. I have to make this happen. All my plans, they are God given, they are God's grace. Thank you, Lord for everything that you have given to me. All these wonderful ideas with your guidance, Lord, they will come true. They will be realized. Just grab those opportunities. Just make them wonderful. Just make it beautiful. Just make it rich. God so bless me, and the whole world.

I've got work

I've got work. But it seems that I can't juggle all of them. For me, they are a winner's list. But the problem is how to sell all of them. What would be my strategy. Sometimes, it is overwhelming. But that's the way it would have been also if I were employed. At least, when you're on your own, you apply your creative juices to your own work. Own benefit. Own money. You are your own boss.

It's a champion's list because they are wonderful products. They can be a potentially beautiful and successful company. There just need to be some funding support from my mom, hehe! But I have to be independent in all my dealings. It's just about time.

Working is a way of expressing myself. I love to work. I've been doing it all my time only in some other endeavors and not on paper employment. I just need to work on it and commit to it and dedicate myself to it. The question is not whether you work hard for it, but on how to start it and keep on going, keeping in mind that you need to take income from all your business activities.

Life is wonderful. The aim should be to help others aside from just making money. Of course, I want to get rich so it's also my aim to make money and that's the challenge of it. When you think about it, it's quite easy to perceive but quite hard to do. I should be able to overcome this.

I come from a long time of always aiming for it and yet not getting it. I have been applying to jobs, but jobs didn't want me. If I really was given the chance, I would have worked ever since 17 and never stopped. But you see, I value my education so much that I preferred studying and finishing it than pursuing a career very early on. Maybe, I should have chosen the other path. It would have been more adventurous and exciting.

I love work. So much. Because it is so beautiful. I am putting up a business and in terms in Tagalog, Bahala Na. In other words, Ready, Fire, Aim. I gotta stop just thinking about it. I gotta start it now. Finished or not finished pass your papers. And then, just trust on the Lord on what's gonna happen.

Just as an example. I attend the Buy and Sell business fair at the Megamall sometime in April. And the Go Negosyo Women's Summit on March. But it's the end of September already and I haven't started on sales, haven't made a sale, because my efforts were like unsure yet and not committed to it because I would always think if I have transpo allowance and lunch money to do it. I have to ask my mom to support me. I have been studying sales ever since. But the lack of confidence, makes it a bit challenging. The challenge really is how to sustain cashflow. Plus, it's quite hard for me to think of myself doing direct selling coz it's not a definite plan. It's just quite hard to imagine it. So I think the secret to it is just to do it! Don't think much about it. Just do it!

There's such a thing as analysis paralysis. But businessmen has to act when there are opportunities. Or else the potential income will be all gone or missed. I hope I have that. I hope I can jump on opportunities as a rabbit knows how to jump. Anyway, that's my Chinese zodiac. They say Rabbits in the Chinese zodiac are good in business and money. I hope I can emulate that. Hehe! Anyway, the challenge for me is to prove that. I know I have the skill it's just that all throughout these years, with all the baggage of rejection, I am already quite tired to try anymore. Sometimes, it is quite hard. I don't wanna pass up opportunities anymore.

Anyways, things should be clear and I am praying for a perfect mind and the ability to adapt and act on seemingly imperfect situations in business, as they say business is dirty or dirty your hands in business and get the prize of money, glory, fame and most importantly for me accomplishment. Goodluck to the Rabbit, hehe! May I now learn how to jump on opportunities.

Everybody else is working, so should I. I've got to share in the pie. The person who doesn't work in the vineyard should not eat. I don't want to eat just the crumbs that fall from the rich man's table.

I've got to do this for my family. I've got to do this for myself as well. And I've got to do this for others. And do this for God. May God bless my endeavors. May I be ordained by Him as a businessman.

A list of things I like

1. To write a book.
2. To have millions of friends.
3. To be a champion negotiator. A creator of deals.
4. To be an expert. To be a business consultant and life coach.
5. To study writing, filmmaking and photography.
6. To have a radio show.
7. To write columns.

A blank page

I like a blank page and create a text that I could write on the blank page. I was just sick. For two weeks now. It was sort of painful. I don't want to get sick again so I promised to eat more veggies and fruits and take Vitamin C. Live a more healthy lifestyle. I wish to continue with the things that I have started like writing for websites and my blogs. Selling and marketing of different products and actually making sales and profits. Doing all of my dreams. Serving others. Earning money. Getting famous maybe. Getting rich. Helping others. This 35th year, I would like to be productive, from now on until I am older. God be so willing. Got to learn how to live in this world. Time to be independent and yet interdependent with others. Let love flow into my life. Make more friends. Reach out to others. The Prayer of Jabez states to increase my territory that I might serve You, Lord. This is one of my favorite prayers. Use me O Lord. Give me my responsibilities, my purpose in life. And let me share that with others. Love the riches. Love the blessings. Love the wealth. Love the well being. I value the relationship I have with God. And this year, may it flourish as ever. Make it great and be shared with others.

It is also a year of Change. I especially ask this from God. Hopefully, I find it. Hopefully, God grants it.

What one thing Different can I do?

I'll be looking for the answers. God, make my life full. And so be with the rest of us all. If only it could be a world full of love!

A full day

I am having impatcho right now. But somehow, when I write, the pain somehow goes away alittle bit thinking that I am working or helping other people by writing, the pain goes away. That is the right attitude. I don't feel so well when there are mistakes for I am tired and I just want the right things to happen. I promise not to eat too much anymore. I would instead give my extra food to the hungry. Promise. I hope the pain goes away already coz I am suffering. What more can I do? I am writing this as I feel pain. But when I think that I am helping somebody by writing about it, the pain goes away. Please God, help me. Please help me to think about other persons in this world. I have to give away and be generous enough for other people. May I balance everything that I receive from the Lord. I know I commit mistakes at times, some miscalculations, but I am trying my best to give to those who are in need. I should be more generous and giving. I know that the give is to receive. Oh well, it was another day. God help me keep my promises. I wouldn't eat too much again. I hope.

Some birthday wishes

I just watched a some videos of my friend's child and somehow I am teary eyed because I realized that turning my age on my birthday I still don't have a family of my own. It is one of my wishes to happen to me in I hope the very near future or far future as long as it happens. Iwas sort of lonely and yet expectant that somehow I felt that I deserve also that kind of life. But I am not saying that I am not happy with the way things go for me as of now. I just wish maybe it would be more complete if I have a family of my own anyway I am already at just the right age to have one. Dear Lord, make it happen for me for my heart yearns for it. Show me the way to a fulfilling life. I don't know what it is that you want for me but please make it happen for me the way You see it and the way I also acknowledge it. The problem of money may still be there, but the only difference is right now you have a different, far better approach of handling it and hopefully solving that economic problem you are experiencing. The problems in life are still there but you open up yourself to the things that God wants to happen in your life, too.

I wish i were more religious and attend to more religious activities and befriend some people from the faith to tell me more what to do with my present life and my future, sort of a guide and source of direction. I always wish the having lack of money won't hinder me from the kind of life that I wanted to live. I know there are always solutions to a problem but sometimes I am just tired of doing the same approach to the same problems for maybe the uummppht time and it's just tiresome. You just wish the something different would happen to you this time. You just don't know when it will end or where the change will come. All I know is that everyday is a new day for God and so you have to renew yourself altogether with God as He renews each day for you.

I hope I improve in the way I live. I want to take leadership. I want to take responsibility. I want to grow up more and be more independent and interdependent with people. I want others to trust me especially my mom who is my forever companion in my life. If only God had granted me a job and I willingly accept it would my mom trust me to be on my own and live my life willfully with maybe a partner in life and some kids. I am just gonna let things happen according to how God plans it for me even if it's plan Z for Him.

Shopping for business

I have a lot of businesses to start. I keep on adding and adding to my grocery cart and sometimes I don't know what to do with these businesses. They are my interests and I like all of them individually. There is something in doing business that is very pleasing and pleasurable and fulfilling also. I hope I can become a great businessperson. I hope I can make big money out of my businesses. I just pray to God that He doesn't make me run out of ideas. I gotta learn about business too as if I was on a business school. It is actually the University of Life. Being street smart. That's my goal. I have to do things out of passion and necessity. I have to take responsibility. To pay the bills. To work for food. To feed myself, my family and the hungry. To have a roof above my head. To have clothing to protect me from the weather. To answer for all my needs. For my education. For my insurance. I have a lot to spend on. So the money needs to keep coming. Your needs should be met. While at the same time you help other people. You do your mission in life. You do your passions. You serve a purpose.

I need to learn about business and my goal is to make money. I am hungry for money. I need to survive. If others find it easy to make money, for me it's quite hard. Coz my natural inclinations would be to write and do business and yet I don't know the right way to go yet. I am in the starting, initial phase. For some time, I have been in lack. Not working. And so something's got to open up. Somebody must give me something. I think it has a lot to do with receiving and giving. There should be a free flow of blessings in my life. I need to channel my energies and efforts on the right path in order for me to benefit from this. Please God guide me. Thank you very much.

To learn how to market these products is also a challenge. There should be creative solutions to business problems. I need to find the way. It should work. With God beside me, I know I will do the right thing. God bless us all.

Just a breeze of fresh air

I have just read from a blog from a friend that when you don't follow your heart, the heart grows weaker. Is it ever true? Then, I just realized, accounting was never my heart's desire that is why I am frustrated all this time. I have always postponed becoming a reporter or a writer or an actress or an athlete. Maybe, it's high time I stand up for my likes, for my desires and just follow my heart. Another coaching expert says that maybe you are not courageous to follow what you want. I believed that maybe I wasn't. You know. It's time to take responsibility. It's time to make money out of what I want. It's time to pursue what I want. But to judge fairly, I have been doing what I want although I don't make money from it yet. The only question lies in making a business out of it. If I watch a lot of tv and movies, then maybe I can collect money from it like maybe writing and publishing a review of media that I watch. If I like photography, I would apprentice with a professional photographer until the time that I earn enough money to buy my own camera and enough experience, too. If I want money, I can ask for it from other sources. Somebody has got to give it to me. The question is what do I really want? Then maybe what I really want is to be independent when it comes to having money that I don't want to ask for it just like that from anybody, then I should earn for it. I should like working for my dreams. The challenge is when what you don't want happens. Or maybe what you want doesn't happen. Like when you wanted a job and it isn't given to you. You run out of ideas and still you fail to have money. For that reason, I guess, it is always to try harder and try smarter. I like solving problems for other people so to be a business consultant and life coach is a great idea and my blog would be a great vehicle for starting this path I would like to tread. Writing articles is one of my gifts. I hope I can make money out of it. I can suggest it to newspapers or magazines. I could set aside time each day to start writing for a book. And then, publish it later on so that I could have royalties for my published book. And by doing so, I get to have readers and followers, too. I guess, what is missing in me is the responsibility to stand in the storms, to claim my place in this world. It is about time. It is. But also at the same time, follow your heart. What is your heart silently telling you? Or is it yelling out to you and you consciously or unconciously ignore it. Your heart may be needing a check up. Is your heart still strong or is it already weak because of unfulfilled desires. What do you desire. Set up a weekend retreat for this. And find out, what your heart really wants. Listen and you just might be surprised.

Some business concerns

What is this I am feeling? I am on the planning stage and the pre-execution stage. All I have to do and the next step for this is to actually go on selling. But there are just main concerns about what I am about to do. First and foremost, do I have the means to support my sales activities or would I rather find an employment. If I go on to the second strategy of finding employment, I would have to wait for some days and even months before I get a job. It would have been another passage of time and some wasted opportunities. But maybe no comparison to waiting in vain for sales since I don't know if I have the means to support my sales activities. There is no point in pondering upon this because all I have to do and to wait for is for me to act. Just start selling! JUST DO IT! I guess, now I answered my problem. No amount of reading or preparation would be equal to the first few steps that I would take to sell something. It rather has a different feeling than just picturing it from afar or from my mind. I hope everything materializes and make things happen for me. There should not be any room for defeat, for disbelief. As I read from a book The Power of Positive Thinking. I engage and engage all the more to more groups and they make me grow. But each time I see if it fits my schedule my bucket. Do I have the capacity for this? Maybe so. I hope. So see you in the marketplace in the future. As I make my future for my family. And myself, too.

Creating biz

Creating business is such a fulfilling but tiring activity. You can spend so many hours just to create the business and so you need to find out the results for you to feel you have done something. Sometimes it is tiring coz it seems like chasing after the money and it doesn't come that easy. And the need to spend on something comes first than the chance to make money, the receiving before the giving of money, accepting and spending on something. According to your needs. Sometimes it becomes tiring because you are already tired with your efforts on making money and money doesn't come yet. But what if you already discovered how to receive money. Then you can do so much more to earn so much more money. What if you already set up the system that will make you more money for yourself? Then the money flows in freely now. Like for example learning to cut hair. Once you become good in it, you just keep on getting customers to cut hair and you're on to making great money. You have food to eat. I just wish I would learn from this simple lesson. Sometimes, they just pop in your mind like a eureka moment for scientists when they discover or invent something, a solution to a math or science problem which I believe are ideas that come from God. I hope in return I don't have to spend something if only to expect something in return. I hope I don't need to spend money to buy something which would generate income for me. I want it to come free. So, what is it? I have yet to discover. I think it will always come in the form of service that I can provide since I don't have money to buy something to sell in return. Still, I would be happy searching for it. Only, I would go hungry in the middle of my search and eat again before I can go on with my searching and see the results hopefully. In the meantime, I have my mom to support my activities. Hey, I do it for her, too! God bless everyone and may there be prosperity among the peoples of the world.

So biz busy

I have been thinking of several products to sell. i haven't done any selling yet, and yet I feel so tired just organizing them in my head. I would ask questions on whether I can truly do all of them. And I know I can it's just I am waiting for it to actually happen. I want to do all these things, not only for money but also for self-actualization. I know I will grow and benefit much if I do all these things. As of now, I want to do money-making, teaching and writing. If I could do all these three things then I would say to myself that I am fulfilled in the endeavors that I chose to take. The three fields or industry that I wish to be involved with are business, communications and sports. I will do my very best to serve these three industries. I hope I will overcome this feeling of tiredness or dizziness if you could call it that from organizing it on my mind. I hope to find the solutions. I haven't started the business yet and yet I am already experiencing some organizational problems. I wish to practice also the profession to which I belong, accountancy. Even if I dislike it. I guess, by doing so I would be reconciling with what the world has given me in my life and therefore that is a positive start for me and a positive cash inflow too.

As to sales, I like accounting software, cars, stocks, real estate, food, car accessories and shampoo, fashion, mutual funds, credit cards, health cards, house construction among others, are my choices to sell. I hope to learn the real sales process and be very good in it. I want to be a successful salesperson. I would like to be a businessman. I want to earn much money too. That isn't too bad!

I would like to be a business adviser too. And a writer too. I hope I can help much and earn much in the process. I read in a book somewhere that you need to make the most out of yourself. You owe that to yourself. You need to use your talents and be very satisfied and fulfilled with what you are doing.

I like to become a filmmaker too. i would like to study filmmaking and other communication arts subjects.

I like to become a billiards player too. And compete.

I hope all my dreams would come true.

Most especially, to be able to do something good for me and for my family and others too.

I envision myself speaking before a crowd of people my innermost desires to help out and my innermost values in my life and be able to share them with others so that they could learn something from me.

All of these, I pray to God Almighty for Him to bring into fruition.

God be so willing.

Me, I'll be smiling when these happen.

To find fullness in life

I have just recently heard and watched the video of the Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Ekre and I have certainly learned a lot and am definitely gonna use these insights in my everyday living. Like if you want to be rich, you have to think it and you have to act inspite of fear and being uncomfortable. You need to celebrate yourself in order for you to live a complete life. You need to do, and I say again need, to do the things that you want in your life, you owe that to yourself. You have to be bigger than your problems and promise yourself that you can solve any problems in your life. Such a growth statement. It really makes you grow and be stronger and a better person. In the process of getting you rich, you promise yourself to reach out and help 10 times more people in order to get rich. You need to get what you want and you that to yourself.

I liked the book and now I watched the video. It is really helpful. He also said that learners inherit the earth. We should be eternal students. We should be learners. We should treat each opportunity to learn something and learn from it good so that we may become and become better persons.

One step towards success is more than a 100 years of just thinking about it. Just one step. Just take that step! So that you will have a big impact in your life.

You need to change your Money blueprint, health blueprint, love blueprint, relationship blueprint in order to get rich and successful and be happy.

Choose your friends

I've got only a few friends in facebook. Sad to say some are really not close to you. And sometimes you wouldn't know what kind of consequence you would have if you accept each invitation. As the crowded, busy streets of downtown anywhere in the world, you would certainly meet dirty, disrespectful, unclean call it what you want content or persons who adhere to bad content and you just don't know what to do with them because you have made them your friends. I guess that's alesson to be learned. Choose your friends. Be choosy if you may. Just as long you do not violate your values in choosing friends. I wish I never answered some of them. Now, I don't know what to do. Maybe, I would remove them from my friends list. Sometimes, you really don't know what you're getting into. That's a hard learned lesson for me. I wish I never entertained them. I am very protective of myself with regards to this and so any mistake for me is such a big thing. I hope some people would respect the decency of some other people that they interact with. Such unclean behavior. It is very upsetting.

The reason that I write this is because sometimes, you need to be friendly, you forget that you also need to choose your friends wisely. If it violates my trust, my beliefs, my values then it has got to stop. If you are gonna be friends with somebody be sure that the friendship is fruitful not harmful. This is really a lesson for me. Such a mistake, a mistake not to be forgotten, but to learn a lesson from. God bless everyone.

Things I plan to do with my life right now

Hi! Just read an article of Bo. And it is about the diseases that manifest in your physical body and that most of it are because of emotions. I wonder what I need to do in order for me to do away with the share of sicknesses that I have. Here are some of the things that I need to do in order for me to have health of body.

1. Work - St. Joseph, father of Jesus was a carpenter. Although they were poor, he worked as a carpenter and lived a poor life with his family Jesus and Mary. I wish to have work too and pattern my work style to St. Joseph for he was able to provide for his family.

2. Pray - I feel a nudge wanting me to go to church and spend some time more in Mass and also in a community where I can share my self and my love of God and love for neighbor. I think also that it is a good avenue to start sharing my life by giving out a talk and start practicing this activity so that I will have future talks and hope lots of them in the future.

3. Spend more time with people- this I am starting to do, i want to spend more time with people, with new people, with old friends or acquaintances, with family and relatives. By working, by going out everyday, by treating my mom although she pays ( haha). Share an activity. Widen my thoughts and horizons. Giving gifts to other people. Helping the needy, the beggars on the street. Talking and sharing stories. Talking responsibility and authority with my life. Talk to people. Solve my problems. Face whatever I encounter. Be a master of my destiny.

4. Spend time with myself - to enjoy more, to spend a little bit more on myself, to splurge a little bit. To buy some important things for myself. To just enjoy things. To take care of myself. To be more happy. Even without much cash. To enjoy the things which are priceless.

With these things in mind, I know I will do away with my sicknesses. I know I can have emotional and physical healing. God is the Healer. And with His permission, He can heal me and all the rest of humanity. May this day and everyday bring forth the yearnings of our heart. God bless everyone. God bless our dreams. To have God's will in our lives. May we be happy!

A half-hearted entrepreneur

I have longed to be called an entrepreneur. I know I am somehow feeling sorry that I didn't start entrepreneurship at a much younger age. I could have been a giant now in the field of entrepreneurship if I did just that. But thanks to the hope of a new tomorrow, I am in this at this very moment and I am glad I have the chance to prove to the world whether I am gonna be great in entrepreneurship or not. As I have said, I don't know what these feelings are like being half-hearted about going into business because I am starting to experience the hardships in marketing a certain product. I lack the idea plus I lack the funds and I don't know which will run out first and so I am being careful and budgeting what little I have to be able to achieve my own goals in running a business. Just like in starting any endeavor, there are two ways to go, either you fail or you succeed. I hope to succeed. But I need all the support that I need. My mom, thankfully will be here to give me support, emotional and financial. I really hope I start producing money any time soon, because time is ticking. Just imagine all the people who make money everyday. Wouldn't you do the same? I just wish I know what to do? Anyway, just a reminder, always do what you love, never sacrifice that. Even if accounting keeps knocking on my doors. I wonder whether it was truly a mistake that I finished Accounting as a college course. What if God ordained me to be an Accountant? Di ba nakakahiya sa Kanya? If I keep on pushing it away from me. Anyway, I hope I can be a good steward of His gifts. I hope I already find the light at the end of the dark tunnel as to where I am headed with this career. So many years had passed wondering whether to take accounting or not. Maybe in the end, who knows, it's still accounting which is gonna provide food for our family's table, at least me and my Mom's. And my future family. Who know I might have kids in the next two or three years. God be so willing. Everyday is a stone yet to be turned and fate that is up to us and God, of course. God bless everyone!

A thing called new business

What's the matter with me? I have these plans to put up a business, but now that I started working on it I have these qualms about having a business because I have limited ideas on how I will market them. You see, I am not a natural born seller unlike maybe the others. I have not much training in sales. I want to work on my businesses and make money out of it without bringing in much cost. I hope to put it up sometime in September after two months of trials. I have chosen some products to sell all of them are invitations to sell from different sources. I think they are pretty interesting and I really hope to get something out of it either in terms of experience or profit. There is a saying that business pays in two coins. One in experience and the other in profit. Take the experience first and profit will follow later. I got that from Bo Sanchez's books. It would really be interesting how I work on my businesses. Hope to get up early in the morning and fish and work hard and find oil. That's another business saying or lesson I got from Go Negosyo book Tagumpay Mula sa Kahirapan. There's really something to it when you read a lot of good business entrepreneurship books. You get to learn a lot. But as I said, I would be spending a lot of time in the real world of business, talking to customers, talking to allies and other business persons, to create my business. My motto: If others can do it, so can I. That's how simple and competitive my motto nowadays. Unlike in my highschool annual I wrote there which I got from a poster hanging in our home, Be somebody. God doesn't make nobodies. Whaaa! That's how funny I got my highschool motto. Hehe! Now, I will start this new business and I have to try it out now. Maybe I just have to be happy and do things. According to one book from Bo, when you finally do something that you want that's the time that you make more money because that's your anointing. You get to do your anointing. There is a flow of gifts, of talents. That is why i write, because I believe I can write a lot of things. I can easily right about anything where my mind is. I love communication. i love to talk to people. Anything about people. I like watching tv and learn about people. That's what I am. That's who I am. And I am gonna embark on it. I'm gonna invest on it. I like delivering good messages to a lot of people. I like teaching good lessons to a lot of people. I like doing all of these things for others. Not only for myself. I really love communications. I hope to make something out of it. I am willing to do it for free. But sometimes, in reality, I want to get paid too. So as a promise, I will write something, a book or books and promise to find speaking engagements just to be able to do it and learn from it and make others learn too. I gotta be a paid writer and speaker. I want to have a following. I want to market my skills. I want to learn all that I can. This I will promise. I am gonna write and speak. I am gonna look for speaking engagements. And I am gonna be a paid writer. I will write a book or books. I hope this happens soon. As to my business, I will give it my all efforts to make it grow, to market different interesting products, to have employees to take care of and become allies with. i am so excited with my decisions. May my decisions in life bring forth fulfillment in me. Looking forward to the day when I can readily make money because I already know how. Thanks a lot, God.

New books

I am thinking of some books to write. Maybe I'd write a book Living a Life of Grace, or maybe The Untold Success Secrets, or maybe My Favorite Toy as a Kid. Those are just titles that came out of my mind. I'm not sure if I would definitely write them but I want to write and inspirational business book of some sort because that is my language, my thoughts. I hope I can share something about it. I hope to be able to devote some time into thinking about the book I am gonna write. I have this pressure to amount to something, to achieve something as time passes me by and not just do nothing or seem to do nothing when I do alot for my family especially about emotional and physical support. I may not be able to give financial support for I don't have work that is not an excuse for me not to try. Every person in this world has work except me, haha, and I do it rather well. I take care of my family. And I think that is a big plus. In my country, I think it is common to have young people who don't have work or who fight for work I mean fight for one position because jobs here have plenty of applicants and only one survivor. What a pity! I believe jobs should be easy to find because that's their source of living. No one should go hungry. If other people get their toys, other people don't even have money for their daily sustainance. i hope God will solve these problems. I think God has given to man the opportunity and the power to be able to solve these problems but the problem is some people are selfish and so there is not enough. If only people will learn to share. No one will go hungry. No one will be poor. No one will need help. Maybe we should stop being hypocrites. and start sharing with one another. There are people who have so much for themselves. While others live in cartons, spaceless, airless, dirty homes. i pray for them. May God solve all these problems. God please give us the solution to these problems as a means of helping them. We are sorry for we cannot do it all. Please give them the courage to stand on their own, not being ashamed of themselves and do something for themselves for I believe they have talents and gifts that You yourself have given to them for them to be rich in every aspect that You want them to be rich. Sometimes, when you think about it life is just a game. Those people on the top are not necessarily the most intelligent ones or the most deserving ones. But they are there because they have triumphed over their adversities. Please tell them that they have the responsibility to reach out to those who are needy. Let us stop materialism, selfish motives. Bring back sharing and respect for other human beings. It would have been a better world if we only learn to help other people. May God be with us.

New businesses

I have searched the internet and have found some interesting businesses to start with. I hope i can go back to my old pace, I would rather be comfortable than sacrifice what i already have to being busy with the hopes of making big bucks. I would like to engage in real estate and house construction, car accessories, trainings, accounting software, food, mutual funds. Of course, these are just options for I still have to talk with concerned people about these accounts for my business. I hope to learn all I can about these businesses and to market them. I hope to make some money. There is a secret I know in making money and I think that is in connecting with people. And so to be able to be good in business you have to be good with people, with relationships, with being friends with somebody. It's like life only spent with numbers. For money is an important aspect of life. You cannot live without it. So wish me luck. I also hope to find the words for my book/s to write. I am looking forward to these wonderful things to happen to me. I will be doing it for my mom and my future family. God bless me and the rest of the world.

Some business aspects

The good thing about having your own business is that you get to have a job on your own without having to go to employment. The problem is if you don't have much cash in your pocket, where will you get your funds to fund your projects? There are also uncertainties in the business. Sometimes, you will need to work out certain agreements, but sometimes, an account does not push through because of certain circumstances like maybe they don't want to communicate with you anymore, or that the business is not on going anymore. Sometimes, you just wanted things to push through but as in life, it is through God's fate for you that everything will materialize. I failed to go to a business orientation about fire and security systems yesterday. But in the evening, I scanned entrepreneur.com.ph and found out several businesses which interests me. Now, I have about 4 new business ideas to include in my list of accounts to include in the business that I plan to start doing sometime in September. I hope it will be a breakthrough. I hope to make money from it. And most specially, I hope to learn about business from doing it. God gives everything to His children and so I hope He will answer my prayers for it. One is about real estate, the other about house construction, then another a car alarm system and then cookies. I hope to get to market it. I hope to make money out of it. Thanks a lot to those who support me. Without them, my life would not have been complete. And most especially, thank God for all the opportunities that come my way. It would be an interesting project, my business. But you know looking at myself and the great potential that I think I have, I am somehow in sorrow that people do not look at me the second time to choose me for a job like a university professor. My personality is like I do a lot of work only it becomes uncounted because I don't make money. Sayang! It would have been wasted talent. Well, God knows everything. Bahala na Siya! As for me, I'd like to do it my way, my game, my rules, my audience. I wish to just achieve creating money for myself and doing something worthwhile like teaching, in my own right, in my own way, even if nobody pays me a paycheck. How could I afford to do that? Maybe, I'd do it in church, maybe I'd do it for free, maybe I'd ask to be paid to give a talk on my own without others encouraging me. I had a dream before to give a talk about accounting and teach it to regular people without accounting degrees or college degrees. Somehow, I don't make my dreams come true. Coz I've been stuck. To applying for a job. In the process, I do nothing. So maybe, like this blog, I could start something, with little or no money and share my talents with the community, with the neighborhood. And become really who I am. I will start this. And I will start now. I hope to get many followers. Hope this would be a good avenue for me to do my life's purpose. From this time on, I will not consider money or the lack of it, as a hindrance to what I want to do in life. God bless me. Love always.

What are you in it for?

"I want the experience you know.. I don't want to do it alone, I want to do it with other people."
As I have said about business. Selling trainings, accounting software, travel agent, mutual funds and real estate would leave me with my mom, or with colleagues, fellow sales people, or with clients, mentors, bosses and executives, business owners, partners. But I don't want much of my time alone. I want to be with others. That I have to consider in making business. I want the experience! What's my primary motivation, to be with others, to earn some big money that will provide for me and my mom and my family. To have relationships. To have the experience of life, of living. Of being happy. Of being fulfilled. To have some fun. To have some fulfillment. To be there for an obligation. To be committed. To be dedicated. To love. To take care of the people you love. It is not only for money, but for love.

To establish one's biz

I would really like to establish my company and call it RSU Enterprises. That's a clue to my name. Anyway, I long to have my company so that I could organize each transaction in an orderly fashion. I like to gain knowledge in finance and business and would like to learn everything and at the same time achieve success in making money. If there is any hope in making money, it is in the selling of needs, primary needs, such as siomai or dimsum or rtws. I have to have funds for these. Even if I start small, eventually it will grow. I just need to earn the first few bucks. I have to make a decision on these. I have to learn how to engage in business and make it profitable and make it grow so that you could serve the customer's needs. I sort of made a statement in my fb, that I would engage in food, garments and car shampoo business. I hope to earn great money in these products. So much can only be said, the rest is yet to be done. I hope to meet friends along the way. And keep them forever and ever. The most important thing is to be able to provide for myself and my family in a generous way. I have to establish a target. How much do I want to earn, honestly, millions. So I should start now. And make money making a natural hobby or habit. I think what I need the most is to have lots of friends to earn lots of money. A million friends will leave you not hungry and find you a job and businesses according to your choice. God bless me and you.

Having a business

I have been blessed on the 24th day of June, the feast of Saint John Baptiste de La Salle, our university's patron saint, to have my first selling business. I am going to sell trainings. Corporate, individuals, careers, skills. I am going to practice my selling skills. I will learn all I can in sales to be successful in it. I am currently also working on other businesses such as selling of mutual funds, accounting software, travel agent and real estate. I will balance my time in all these endeavors. I hope to become successful. I would pass up the chance to read on books particularly about business because I would be spending sometime in the real world of business and business making to learn the ropes of business. I will learn practically. It is like attending an MBA class, only it is actual practical experience and hope to learn a lot by doing fieldwork and practical assignments. I just hope I don't run out of funds before I make my first sale. What is the secret to sales success? I guess relationship building. It's all about people. And integrity and value are of utmost importance in this field of work. God wish me luck.

Where to get the next bread?

I am sort of tired everyday I have to figure out, think up of ways how to earn that money. It seems harder and harder. Even if you go to job fairs or business fairs, you still don't seem to achieve your goals. What I am after is to get the money now, tomorrow, the next day even if it seems little at first. I just want to get working. But really have a hard time doing so. The only thing that I want to start already is to write for money and real estate. Those are the only two things. The rest are just distractions or istorbo. I could think up of a million ideas but you don't know which will hit the jackpot. i am looking for people to work with, to be with, to be friends with and this is like a long term relationship of sorts, a forever relationship. I wish I could do such a thing. I keep on studying and studying is a good thing. You just can manage your time well. You thought with the new things coming your way that you cannot manage your time anymore but you will discover that things adjust and everything is just laid down to you to serve you. I just want to keep on writing, to learn, to express, to experience, to get a book written, for others to read it, to be shared, to let others know. To make yourself known. I think I could be a writer of books. I got to practice. I gotta know. I gotta learn. And then there's the business side of things and so I want to become an agent. I want to become a real estate agent. I just want something to be done without asking permission from somebody else if they are gonna let me work or not like in applying for a job. I am tired already. I want to take this turn or I'll be left out. I know this is the time for me to enter into business that is why I for the first time in my life and I think the last I have promised to myself that I will not experience financial difficulties anymore. Not anymore. This is my turn to do something in business. i gotta earn money. I am 34 turning 35 and I feel that I am in this middle age of discovering myself in business. I am not as young as those who are in their teens or twenties. I am sort of in the middle that's why I called it the middle age but still under the youth group. I gotta work. I am 34. No day has got to pass without me working. I got to stand for my right to work. No ifs, no buts. i just got to work. No day wasted. I am ready to face now my future. Whatever happens. i know it'll be good. God has prepared me hard for this future. And I can feel it. God will give me this wonderful future that He has created for me. I am looking forward to it.

Life is what you make of it

I came across an article that says that life is what you make of it. How true? It all depends on you on how your attitude in life is going to be. What if you are an undergraduate and you cannot go to school anymore. Finish school by working. There are unlisted jobs out there like being a vendor in the market which will earn you something for you to be able to use for your education. I believe if you are really determined you can achieve anything. What stops or hinders one from getting the success that they wish to have is the blocks in their minds and they keep on not creating solutions for those problems. On my part, I have also been stuck in my situation of not earning money for 10 to 12 years now because I have solely depended on employment alone and not on business to earn something for my keep so that I can answer for my needs and do what it is that I want. Anyway, there is always today and tomorrow to fulfill your dreams and no matter what age you are in, it is never ever too late to reach out for that dream of yours to accomplish even if you have been trying to accomplish that particular dream for the longest time. There are just some matters to be taken into consideration like growing old when you can have deteriorated health and it might be harder on your part to achieve something. The grace of the Lord is always with us and sometimes to be blessed with contentment is more than enough to answer for all our yearnings. A peaceful and a healthy body and mind is an investment worth keeping and acknowledging. Sometimes, we just have to be thankful for all that we have, for all that God has given us and not to compare with what others have. Sometimes to be content is more than enough prize. Life is what you make of it. Me, I am still struggling to be the entrepreneur that I dream to be while my other colleagues may have started already in it or in the middle of it, me , I am still aspiring for chances have not come that often for me and I know God has blessed me in numerous ways than the ones I have made full attention to. I know I have yet to do the things that sometimes I dream of, but I am not losing hope and dreams will be forever in me and with me as I lay on my pillow at night and as I wake up fresh in the morning. Even if I don't have much, I will accomplish much with the opportunities that come my way. Opportunities to connect with and to help other people. Finally, in my case, if I am only not afraid to explore other avenues I haven't yet discovered will then I truly discover the blessings that has long awaited me. God blesses His children according to their needs. I believe that poverty is not really given by God as in to differentiate people but in that poor people should always find ways to provide for themselves and this is a call too to rich people to share whatever they have plenty. Today is a new day as in tomorrow. We shouldn't waste one single day. If we cannot find the answers yet, just keep on searching, just keep on learning, everyday, do not stop. Until you reach the dreams you are dreaming of. Remember, life is what you make of it. It is really a responsibility of ours to live life as we should.

Do what you have to do

In this life, you have to do what you have to do. Time flies fast and all of a sudden you don't know problems arise before you and you don't know what to do because you are caught unaware. Some people will take advantage of you and there is nothing you can do if you are unprepared. In this life, there are no guarantees. You seem to cannot get everything that you really wanted. You just need to hold on to somebody strong so that you could still stand up in the middle of the storm. You just got to do what you have to do, in order to succeed in life, in order to answer the call of life. You need to be responsible for your own well being. You got to be responsible for yourself. Trust in God. Because your life depends on Him. That is the safest answer you can get. Trust in God. Even though He leads you to wary paths. Trust in God even if there is no food in the dessert only manna. Trust in Him when there is nobody else. Sometime, after the storm is over somebody is gonna come to give you a helping hand. Approach him and let him help you. Be humble enough to accept the help being offered. All of your problems are gonna be solved by God and so you should trust Him. Trust God that He will help you. Sometimes, in my journey, I am longing for success to find me, but it still doesn't come and so I think God leads me through the dessert and just gives me manna in the dessert. I am joyful for all the blessings that He gives to me eventhough they seem to be just enough, but no, I know they are more than enough for I cannot count them, even if I stay poor and He hasn't made me rich like the others, I still feel blessed and blessed abundantly. What if you are already doing the thing that makes your heart beat but it is still unfinished. You still aim for something better for it hasn't been given to you yet. Success is not yet at arms length. You still aren't famous or rich. Where do you go? What do you do? I could only imagine that if success is hard to achieve it makes it all harder to be poor and you are aiming for success, than to be rich and aiming for success. Would you already give up in the middle of the fight? No. You should go on. Not stopping. You should continue the journey. And I think what God is trying to teach you is not to constantly look for success and be satisfied when it comes but to find success in just doing it and imagine the number, hundreds, thousands of people that can be helped as you do your thing. Be courageous. Do what you have to do. If only to gain back some self respect, some authority, some leadership. And get away from people who disrespect you. They cannot even afford a good deed for themselves. Do what you have to do and don't be afraid. Even without money. The more that you should do it if you do it for family support. For your loved ones. For your friends. For yourself. Trust in God wherever He leads you. And definitely you will find your way.

How to succeed in life

To succeed in life, you have to do what you want to do. Even if you don't have money. For me, making money is one of the things that I want to do in life. I want to be a businessman. I am inspired by success stories of people who became businesspersons even from poverty. I want to emulate them. How does a poor person become a taipan in business and build his business empire. I think it is a gift. A gift from God. And so I believe that God gives so much to His children here on earth. You just need not have a scarcity mentality. You need to believe that there are bountiful of blessings being given by God in this world. You need to believe that God provides for all His children. One of the things that you may opt for is recognition. It is a sense of achievement. To be a writer or journalist. To write books. To have a website. To write reports. Anything that you can create. Anything that you can give out to this world. Anything that you can share. Any talent or skill or creation that you can give to this world. Whatever it is you want to do in this world, just do it! There's got to be nothing that stops you. Even being poor. Even not having money. Even if it seems impossible. You just gotta do it. To fulfill your destiny. Becoming a speaker is one of my dreams too. Talk before people. Talk about life, business, God, love. Anything from which people can learn. More importantly is to connect with people, try to help people, in their problems, in their lives, give to them what is needed, what is wanted, to make this world go round. Achieve dreams, reach out for goals, surpass yourself once in a while. Go for your dreams! And attract wealth. Attract positivity. You can be the person you want to be. You can achieve anything you want to achieve. With God's providence and grace. With God's permission. With God's will. Believe in yourself. There's no other like you. You're the best person you can ever be. There's only one you in this world so you gotta be proud of yourself. You gotta promote yourself. You gotta market yourself. Be positive. And achieve things. Anything you put your mind to you can achieve. Do what it is that is close to your spirit. Fulfill your mission. Create your destiny. You are the master of your universe. You are the captain of your soul. You are an individual. You are a child of God. You are the child of the Most High, the boss, God, our Father, our Provider, our Savior. God in all His goodness would give everything that we want if we deserve it and if we work hard for it. You just got to use your talents. Bring out the goodness that God has put in you, your gifts, and give it to the world. That's the road to success.

My options

To summarize my options:

First, I got to be a STOCKBROKER.

Then, I got to be an Accountant first.

Then, I would go into Real estate, Banking and merchandising.

My projects:

Writing

Business

Helping out the needy

Such is a wonderful, wonderful strategy that I hope I can fully do with the available resources that I have. I have a goal of achieving so much in my life for the world. I love helping others and just to be able to do things that I want to do for others is already a big accomplishment. God be so willing, I can do all the things that I set my mind and my heart into. I hope to do God's work and so we will be working together to achieve the things that He gives unto me.

I know having discovered the How to be a Stockbroker seminar is God's will. I know it was a chance but a chance that God did for me. I love stocks and have long wondered how I could get into it. I hope to learn everything I can learn about stocks until I become an expert, an authority. I would like to devote the rest of my life to this mission. God be so willing. May He prosper me in this as in other things that I propose to have. I know it's just a matter of time before I fully discover the new things to be discovered in becoming rich. If I could just do under His guidance. He is our Father and the source of all blessings in life. He is the Provider. He wants us in the bible to be good financial managers and so I would be taking up this call and start becoming responsible in this aspect of our lives. I would deliver well. I would study well. I know I have lots to learn. And I continue on learning, as I have studied for so long like maybe 10 or 12 years in the making. I know I have something in me that wants to start something for myself. I know I can be a leader in my endeavors and enterprises to start with. I know that I have lots of potential for God made me to have talents and skills. I know I can use them for others' good. Please help me God in all the things that I want to do in this world and for all the people in the world. May I bless others in the process. Making money is so much fun when you know you do what you want and you know you are helping other people in their needs.

Doing what you want.

The interest in Art.

I love fashion and so maybe I could study about art. Maybe I could study about fashion designing and dressmaking.

Photography

Filmmaking

Culinary

Painting

Interior Design

Multimedia

Music

There is really a world of opportunities out there. So just grab 'em.

But of course, you need money.

And so you need to learn the art of making money.

Is there a formula?

What if your same old formula doesn't work anymore for you?

You gotta think of new things to do.

And I am in that process.

Life's gotta be more than just about money.

You gotta like what you're doing.

And that's a must.

Life is not for free.

It comes with a price.

A hefty price.

A strategy to earn money

I have a major plan that is to become a STOCKBROKER. I am doing this right now. But I want it to succeed. I want it to be my mission. I want it to be my lifetime career. But in the meantime, to fund the projects I would like to do, I think I am gonna practice accountancy. Maybe I could get a few thousand pesos from it just to have lunch money and some fundings for my projects. Just so until I learn how to become a salesperson. I needed to learn about sales. Aside from stocks, I would go into real estate, banking and merchandise. I just need to learn about sales. I got to learn how to deal with customers. I got to relate. I got to be of service to them. I need to be customer-oriented. I need to devote my time for them. And most of all, I got to enjoy doing all these things. I just need to do the things necessary for me to become a good salesperson for me and for others. So that I could earn good money.

Your mission in life

What do you think is your mission in life? Is it all just about earning money? Then living a life here on earth would just be all about earning money and that is just very basic and not be profound in any way. But if you put your job as your mission, then that would mean something else. Can you consider your job as your mission on earth? For me, it is very important that your job is your mission. Life is so short to waste it away on things that you don't want to do. As for me, I love writing and so I am writing right now on this blog even if I don't earn something out from it. But I am hoping to. I believe that part of my mission too is to earn something for myself and my family, to be rich, to involve myself in various big enterprises. So, I should be working on that too and I just go too even if the odds go against me. I just got to be strong. Thirdly, I want to help out the needy, feed the hungry children, send them to schools, take care of them, inculcate values in them, give them support as in family. For these endeavors, I need to have money for them. Seriously. And so I busy myself with figuring out how to fund my projects. First, writing. Second, business. Third, helping the needy. I just got to do what my heart desires. Or I would be incomplete. I would be unfulfilled. God help me to do these things for others.

To make a more fulfilling life

I was wondering what I can do to have a more fulfilling life. I haven't really solved my financial problems yet but i am most determined to do that. Without the help of my mom, I wouldn't be able to do the things that I am able to do such as going out to fairs and seminars just to learn what I can do for myself and my family to earn a decent living. To make something crucial out of it as in affect by life in a big way. Feed me, feed my family, to have a meaningful life like taking trips abroad, owning a beautiful piece of land, sending me to school, having a car or cars. I was wondering how i am different from those who have already succeeded in their careers. Were they more courageous? More disciplined? More open? More positive? Were they winners? Were they leaders? Do they talk more than me? Do they welcome each person that comes into their lives? How are they able to make more money? Are they more blessed by God than me? Are they kinder? Or we are the same but it's just that they chanced upon what they do best and they deliver it. I wanted so much to happen in my life. I am happy in my life but there are things missing that I look for in my life to become more fulfilling. I dare ask for help from others, to connect, to relate, to know and let know what is happening in my life. I discovered that in each move you make you should have money and so I start to categorize myself to those who have money problems like those who look for food for the next day. I wish to have their tenacity. I wish to make a difference in my life, to fulfill my destiny. To make use of my talents in a great way. To engage in activities which makes me alive. To help out other people in need.
To feed myself, to feed my family. That is what's important for me. Could you see me? Do you know where I'm coming from? I'm in a position of need. Could you help me? Could we help each other out? Can we become courageous and be bold enough to do the things that we want to do in our lives without being afraid of anything? Be not afraid for I am with you wherever you go. Trust in the Lord. Do not be lonely. Reach out to others? Others exert effort too just to meet their daily needs. We are all the same. We are one and the same in the eyes of God. I wish heaven could be on earth. I wish everybody could have a warm roof above them on a cold, cold night. I wish everybody love. Love. It's the only thing that can save us. God. God is love.

What to do?

What are you supposed to do when no body wants to hire you anymore. I haven't worked for the past 10 or so years and nobody has accepted me during those times. My resume now has a big gap in its face and I don't know what to do anymore to make my paper more attractive to would be employers. So, what am I supposed to be doing now? What I can only think of is add some qualifications like having an MBA to my name. But that would still be in two years time. I need the money now. It has become so hard for me to earn money. Nobody wants to hire me. My only recourse is to take and pursue this path I am taking now to becoming a stockholder. Last Saturday, I attended a seminar about stocks which is quite expensive for me since I really don't have money. It also discussed how to become a stockbroker. I learned that you have to undergo a 5-day workshop that costs P5000 and an exam which I don't know the cost of if there is any or if it is already included in the P5000 that you pay for the workshop. You have to be an employee first of a stockbrokerage firm before you can get the exam for Certified Securities Representative. Luckily, I would be getting help from the speaker of the seminar to endorse me to a firm and so maybe I can now become an employee of a stockbrokerage firm. I have to learn the ropes and so I am working hard on this. May God bless me in this venture. So that finally in 2010 I could stay I have started one earning potential, even one, to add to my qualifications. You know working has become a source of respect for myself as I feel that I am only wasting my time spending time at home, waiting for someone to call me or positively, hire me. If I could work on this plus my marketability then I would have embarked successfully on a career in stockbroking. All the hopes for me. I wanted so much to use my talents. I know I can be great. I have been reading inspirationals and so I wanted to fulfill my destiny not only for myself but for others, something that I can be trully proud of. May God bless me in my endeavors!

I want to be a politician

I want to run in elections, at least even once in my life. Maybe, I could start from being a councilor, then congressman, then senator. Right now, if I am really serious into doing this, I should be active in the city's activities and the party I am joining so that in three years, I would have gained the much needed experience I need to run for office. Let's see where this will end?

How do you sell?

I have only one question to make. How do you sell? If I am about to embark on this new role, job, mission, I must really learn how to sell? My goals are to help my family, to have respect for myself, for others to have respect on me and my job and to be financially stable. I hope by doing freelance work in sales, I get to learn the ropes of selling and at the same time achieve my goals. I have financial goals and I do expect to get them. Talk about great expectations! The important thing is I learn my lessons as I get into these kinds of roles. Sure do hope to have a fulfilled life living the dream of becoming a salesman.

Collecting friends

Collecting friends is a happy habit. Just like in facebook, the more friends you have, the merrier. Sharing friendships is a good thing. It makes life worthwhile. You can do lots of fun activities when you have lots of friends. Delight yourselves in the company of your good friends. Be in company with your friends so that you wouldn't be lonely. Go out once in a while to connect with friends. Share with them your experiences. Do things that are fun doing together. And most of all, share some of your secrets and problems and share the best times you have with your friends. After all, that's what makes life fun, having friends.

Give us this day our daily bread

Work is fun. It is a means of God to feed us, to give us our daily bread, to find money, to earn our keep, to nourish us and keep our bodies healthy and for us to share with one another His blessings. I believe the world is full of blessings, it's not just properly appropriated. What if you're caught in the middle of life and you suddenly need money, where will you get your money? This is where good financial management comes in. This is what I aim for in my life entirely. That not even once in my life would I have a great dire need for money or resources to sustain me or my family. Opportunities really come our way, it is just a matter of praying a lot, totally depending on God, and exerting effort, totally relying on ourselves too. How can we say that we are finally nourished, once the blessings come trickling in. I go day by day, by God's providence. I believe I will make sales transactions in my future. I have to believe it or it may not happen. I know God will provide. The funny thing is, my imagination doesn't allow me to imagine these business thoughts unlike in writing, I can readily conceptualize it in my mind, so that makes it hard and tricky for me. But I believe that God has His ways of providing us and what we just have to do is not to lose hope but forever raising our hands and catching whatever blessings He may shower upon us. In the sermons I have heard this week and the last week, I have heard about loneliness and trust in God. God is in control. We shouldn't worry. We shouldn't even care so much as in to distrust His guidance and providence. God in His infinite goodness wants to shower us with blessings and give us whatever we need in our lives. All He wants is for us to change and be good sons and daughters of Him. We should be good to our neighbors especially when there seems to be nothing for us. That's the time we learn the need of others. So that when our time of abundance comes we will be able to share whatever we have with those who are in need. Then, it is our turn to help others. For those who have two coats, may they give the other one to those who have none. If this is the attitude of every human being, then there would be no one in want, no one in need, no one to go hungry. There would be a balance of resources in the world and everybody will be happy, every need would be met. There wouldn't be beggars and scavengers to be pitied. It would also add meaning to life because we share. We do something good for others, for God. And we will be at peace! May each one do his share to share a coat, a plate of food, a glass of water to those who need it. May God bless the world, with so much love in return.

The desire to be rich

I desire to be rich. I guess I am hungry for some money. I need to be employed or have a business. I look forward to the blessings that will come my way. I need to put in mind the needs of my family and myself and so I have to practice seeing myself as a worker for money, for God's providence. I hope God will answer my prayers soon.

Doing God's will

What is God's will for you? How do you find out if it is God's will? If your heart beats for it, then it is God's will. If your mind thinks about it, it is God's will. If your spirit agrees with it, with all its goodness, then, it is God's will. For me, it is easy to find out what is God's will. I love my family and so it is God's will that I love my family and that I serve them. Plus, I have this desire in my heart to provide for them financially which I know the grace of our Lord is gonna provide soon. I also support them spiritually with prayers, and emotionally with my company. All the rest, I spend time with my friends even though it is only online. The simple life is so much better. I have some desires in my heart which I look forward to doing in the future but in the moment I am patiently waiting for them to come true. Like having all the things that I want and helping other people who may have a greater need than I am.

Get away with the bumps

Life is sometimes full of troubles. Sometimes, you can not get life perfectly. It had to have some problems. And so, if these problems are unavoidable then you just have to do with them and learn how to manage your tasks with the problems at hand. Problems are there to challenge you and make you grow. They are there to help you grow into an improved personality that you can be. They are there to help you reach your full potential. You cannot have life and not have any problems at all. All you need to do is to have the habit of managing yourself with all these problems present and just solve them to make you a stronger person. You cannot have your day sometimes without a problem arising and so you must adjust, you must solve, you must adapt. Problems are opportunities for growth. Once there is a problem, there is a hidden opportunity for you to learn something out of it. God gives us these problems so that we may grow to be the person that God wants us to be. He is perfecting us by the problems that we face. As gold is tested by fire, so does the heart of man tested by God. Let us be happy that God molds us into the perfect persons that we ought to be in His sight, someday when it is time for us to go back to Him.

Laugh out loud

Happiness comes from doing the most important thing for you. It may be helping a person in need. Feeding a hungry child on the streets.

Spending time with your loved ones.

Finding new friends, like soulmates.

Watching a sitcom that gives you 30 minutes of laughter.

Watching an engaging television show.

Reading a good book.

Talking to interesting people.

Working

It doesn't really take a lot to be happy. Just sometimes, you just think of what your life is all about and you say that you're just good. Life is good. As God is.

What do you do when you have no job?

What do you do when you have no job? You just make things work out. I help out my mom. Help out my family. Go to church. Greet the neighbors. Connect with friends. Find new friends. Read the paper. Watch tv. These are all the things which can keep you busy, to make things matter. You have all the time in the world to do all the stuff that you wanted. You have valuable time in your hands and you can say that not everything that matters in life is a job. You just don't have money but you enjoy the time that you have with the people that matters to you. Life is an adventure.

God's will

I live with my mom. My life revolves in doing stuff for myself and taking care of my mom, spending time with relatives from time to time and doing surfing on the net with some friends. I think it is God's will that I spend my time with my mom for almost 12 years now, since my father died some 8 years ago. I am the moral support of my mom, through thick and thin. I think this is my divine mission. To be with my mom for almost all the time. For some reason, God didn't give me work, at least ones which I wanted so that I can spend time with my mom and support her all the way. There are times too when all the person I can reach for a day is only my mom or some neighbor or a few relatives of ours and that's it. No social life for that entails money allowance for gimmicks and outings. Just a few fellow churchgoers and that's it. I guess that's what you really call God's will. Other people reach out to a lot of people because of their families or their work. It's called God's will. Me, I sort of spend it with my mom alone and that's it. But there will come a time when I have to find somebody to be with, what if my mom dies or leaves me alone? I will have nobody and I don't want to be alone in this world. God give me a mission, please. And change me for the better. For all my misgivings in the past may He give me a new mission and a better self. I would always want to spend time with other people mostly with family and friends. At this time in my life, what I do now are things that matter to me until I am old. I am looking for forever friends. With this new mission from God, I will certainly have a new life, new relationships, new friendships.

Material things in this world

You shop and you shop and what will you do with all these stuff in your closet or in your house when you're gone. It cannot be used anymore by you for you cannot bring them to heaven. Everything is just temporary even if you accumulate all these stuff on this earth. They are all nothing. I guess what is important are the things that you have learned all your life, your contributions to other people, the friendships you have fostered, the conversations, the life you had.

When you receive money what do you do? Do you go straight to the store and purchase things? Me, when I receive money, it goes directly to food, magazines and books and clothes, very minimal and much just goes to my needs. It is just merely enough for my needs and a few things more. I do not buy expensive items anymore. I feel it is just a waste of money.

Finding work is kinda tough because I didn't want accounting. Whenever I apply somewhere, I hope, but unfortunately, it passes out on me. I keep on changing my ideas, my plans because you keep on hoping for the job to be yours but you always fail to get it. It's been 10-12 years and I am tired. God please let the HR and the would be employers explain to me what they have been doing to my resume. And so you see, I have not much option or not much money to splurge.

But I am happy.

I found out that material things are not the most important things in this world.

That what's more important are the things unseen, the treasures that God is giving to you.

I have learned to budget and handle my finances well because I now know that every peso counts.

And I have learned to spend on valuable things alone and not wasteful things.

I have learned to finish my food everytime.

And enjoy myself even with the little that I've got.

I keep on looking for employment but it doesn't come. I am not much into selling. And I don't know how to have a business yet. But I am working towards it. Everyday. And as you can see I can say that my life is a blast.
