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. Roberto, Jr. It becomes easy to understand the sometimes complex world or money but all of us has to learn this in order to go through our everyday transactions in life.

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.
