Its all about personal mastery - the drive to establish new business is about yourself

It is about getting better...

I recalled a story about JG (John Gokongwei) who said that the struggle to put up and continue the business is not about making more money and being more successful  I can now fully comprehend what he meant.  It is about you and personal mastery.

As you grow older, you become older, you become more sensitive and you become more keenly aware of the detractor and restraining force.  Must you give up and stop?

Is it worth the trouble if your detractors are your family members, trusted employees,  your business partner.  Must you give up if they are swinging on the side of the wrong.

Must you stop pursuing your dreams.?





I  for instance want to consolidate the business of memorialization under one roof.  So I am buying a memorial plan company.  However, despite paying the premium the seller does not seem to allow me to touch the company.  So I have a solution,  but it involves complete take over of the company.

I am also pursuing the cremation. I have DP for two crematorium.   A supplier on the other hand has 14 crematorium on JV with others.  That is the future or memorialization.  However along the way, obstacles and hindrances litter the way.  

Everybody does not seem to understand or have difficulty in understanding.  You must continue explaining and pursuing your dreams.

The missive of Abraham LIncoln rings true:  "If every time a dog barks, you stop you never reach your destination"

And that of late EVP of United Lab:  Ernie Salazar "  Your obligation to yourself is about getting better.  You must improve everyday"
