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.
