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.
