Business Tips for the Young At Heart

Go into business. This is a famous adage. Don't just be employees. I know. God is prompting me to become an entrepreneur, a businessperson because all this time employment options are not readily available for me when my tummy would feel hunger and I need to feed myself. Or that I would go thirsty every hour and need to drink some juice or carbonated water for my own sake.

Go into business. It may probably be as easy as selling. The challenge is are you willing to take the challenge. As I am probably famous for it by now for saying it. Use your talents. What is it that you have that you can offer up to the Lord and say hey this is my talent and I want to do this for others, to serve others, to serve God. We are gifted when we were born into this world. We were born rich as Bob Proctor would say. But I personally believe so also. If you have a gift, celebrate yourself and make a brand name for yourself like what I am currently doing and hope to be successful in it and just be who you are and who you ought to be. Going into business is the most practical thing you can ever do because it is your own, it is your own ownership. It is yours. It is like a gift of God to you which has your name on it, wrapped in a beautiful wrapper and personally delivered by God to you. This is your business. The challenge is to make it grow. God never gave a whole bunch of riches ready for you for the taking. He wants you to grow what He has given to you. He's got given to you your talents for you to use to your heart's desires in what so ever ways, just be creative and there you have your accomplishments. It's not like just counting 1,2,3 or saying A,B,C but it's non-linear, it could be complex. So, go ahead and start your business. Go ahead start that venture.

I went to the Wealth Summit on Jan 29 and couldn't quite forget this one fact that I learned from there. You gotta dip your hands. Dipping your hands into actual dirty work so that you will have success in the business or work you have chosen. Do not worry that you'll get your hands dirty. Just dip it! Never ever let anyone stop you. Coz it's yours. Y.O.U.R.S.

Enjoy the work, Enjoy the dipping of your hands. And Network too. Networking could be a very interesting game. You meet a lot of people. Introduce yourself. What you do. What you like to do. Your plans. Business plans. Dreams. And see if you have any business propositions or partnerships arising from your networking activities. The major goal is to work with, to interact, to foster friendships, to create, to build, to master, to use God's gifts to you in every possible way. Just do it! Remember, Just Do It!

Having Money or No Money is the big challenge. What stops you from realizing your dreams? What stops you from gaining your ground in this world? What stops you from doing what you wanna do right now? Work for it! Don't stop dreaming. Don't settle. Don't compromise. Me, I compromised a lot in the past. Until the time came when, I feel so frustrated. Of course, I'm a happy go lucky kinda gal so it's just fine. I learn my education on the streets, call it Street Life. But of course, it hits you sometimes. Hey, God is nudging you do this. He calls on softly to your heart be a movie star or a film director or movie writer. Study this so that you will learn and I will promote you and lift you up into the Success that I wanted for you. All we have to do is say YES to HIM.

God is a loving Father. He will never, ever abandon us. God loves us so much as to leave us empty handed on the streets. We just need to embrace ourselves and say to ourselves hey I'm not gonna let this happen to me. I can fight my battles and in the end win the war. According to the Art of War, the battle is won before it is even fought. So hold on, you are in the middle of the battleground, for those generals or high ranking officials out there or the ordinary soldiers wishing good for them in this game of life, you have your choice, to fight or to surrender. Sometimes, surrendering is the wise choice, especially if you are already tired of the battle and you seem you cannot go on. So you surrender. Surrender to God's Love. And let Him take care of you. It really works. As in really works.

I have this favorite saying which I got from my China Business mag, Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps, we must step up the stairs by Vaclav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic. Nice note, isn't it?

Frankly, I am also guilty of this. Sometimes, I keep on planning. And years pass without any result or action from me due to lack of money. Well, I am not gonna do that anymore and start right now, this year to start something on my own, to be active as I was before when I was a kid and winning awards left and right at school or when I was a kid joining radio contests winning left and right. Who knows I might win again. There is nothing like winning. And so, Goodluck to all the people out there, my fellow guerillas. Let us be victorious soldiers of Christ. In the battle game of life, let us win the war!

New Year's Promise

Haven't written since last year! I have had some great adventures in the past month meaning January. Like on my first week. I was very eager to work. I promised to be fashionable this year so dressed in my pink Abercrombie and Fitch shirt and pink polo and jeans and slippers I went to the mall at Festival and did some shopping. I bought Magnegosyo magazine where I learned about the Fern-C business and am now very eager to become part of their network. But of course there is a membership fee to pay. But it's a very viable business. I want to be part of that business as much as I want to be part of the Vmobile network too. But of course there's also a membership fee. I really hope to do good in sales this year. A month has already passed and you could see that time is ticking in favor of me supposed to be. Well, shouldn't waste time anymore because time is precious, time is gold.

I also bought myself a CD Jeans dealership which up to now am not selling yet door to door. I am keen about selling thru fieldwork. It isn't just comfortable for me to sell door to door, doing fieldwork, and walking on the streets with limited money and you have to pay for you water and food coz you're gonna go hungry while you walk the streets and before you know your P200 is not enough for that one sales outing. Just couldn't solve the puzzle. At least not yet.:)

I also bought a Feng Shui magazine the local and red one where there was a picture of a bunny. I like to read my horoscope and learn something about feng shui. I like feng shui and actually looking for a feng shui training school or something in this part of the world to become a feng shui consultant in the future. But I guess, I haven't found any so needless to say I should just look for schools which are readily available for me at an affordable price with a diploma or certificate to show as my accomplishment in life. Or why not just buy those books, pick out the ideas in the books and learn so much from them and use those knowledge in my dealings in life. What a way to start the day, right?

As of this writing, moolahs still need to come in. If you have any ideas just to add to my sometimes boring mind because I seem to have all those sorts of ideas about business but it isn't fun enough because I still don't have a company to start. It's much fun if you do it with others. Hope you comment. Thanks. And networking is the key.

Hope to make a million friends this year and some love life too. Not to mention a million or millions or moolahs. He he. God bless!

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.
