People skills, EI is important

It is about getting better...

Somebody is selling his/her book online regarding People Skills.   People with technical skills can not hope to improve climb up the organization unless their people skills improve.   Related to Michael  Gerber book on same topic.

Thus common examples:

     1.   You will have nice parking spot if you buy the parking attendant coffee;

     2.   The waiter in an event will give you best choices if you tip him/her generously up front (not after

            having a meal.

    3.    If you treat a food server badly, or say stewardess, she/he may spit on your drink or coffee

Success is people.  Deal with them well.  Thus "How to Win Frineds and Influence People"   is a good book

This post eleced to invest in real estate rather than educ plan for children's education

It is about getting better...

This post opted for investment in real estate rather than educ plan and did not regret this, for children's education.   At that time CAP was the in thing and many were selling me educ plan.   The most popular was headed by a batchmate in college -  Sobrepena.

It was more convenient and safer for me to manage my own assets.  My RE could appreciate, and I had option to sell or borrow from banks when the time comes  I was right in my decision.

Tuition and other school fees shot through the roof during Cory's time and many plans folded up.  (Just look at the OIC list -  they have only 8 surviving plan company out of hundreds at that time)

Did I make the right decision?  Can we right all the time?

We all live to uplift others; in the service of humanity

It is about getting better...

It was reported that there was a reunion sponsored by the eldest of my now deceased brother.  I was univited and thus did not attend.

The sponsor threw some bad unpalatable words to this quarter and does not deserve my respect.   As it usually happens in a clan where communication can get distorted.    However I tried my best to uplift the family economically and unfortunately this effort was not recognized. Without that effort, no such reunions are not feasible.  

God bless.  We all live in the service in the upliftment of others

Being steadfast and strong in the midst of uncertainity

It is about getting better...

Certain instability can persist in the minds of many airsing from:

     1.  2025 elections and its related violence

     2.  SD impeachment

     3.  Arrest of DU30

     4.  Abroad Ukraine and Gaza Israel conflict

Many will worry, overthink and spill their career and their ambition to the streets.  Its time to be steradfast and strong and prove that what is within is stronger what lies outside us:   the economy, the society and external forces

Staff preferred to go on vacation rather than tackle the deal of hundreds of thousands of pesos of rewards

It is about getting better...

There was a supposed meeting for the presentation of marketing plans yesterday.   It was postponed because:   many did not prepare, one was not present she was on leave.  So I joined a group that went to their SBUs to determeine if they liked the deal or they know the proposed deal.

The question to the subordiantes were:

1.  Do they know the deal?

2.  Which is more valuable;   the vacation leave, or the huge reward.  They said they prefer the latter.

      They could not determine what is on the mind of the more senior officer regarding her value system

It beats me too...?!

Why is their life still the same? Can their attitude still be changed

It is about getting better...

I have a relative who is not very well off and all ready a widow.  She keeps on trying to sell me properties which I do not need nor do I see opportunities

I promised to make her life better by being part of a deal.  

However:

1. She failed to deliver on her commitment/assignment - ie provide the funds.

2   She has difficulty in understanding.  She calls for a meeting, and her points are pointless if not exaggerated;   She talks while I talk and so with others.   Does not understand ethics in meeting

3.  Blatant dispaly of selfishness, entitlement, despite having no contributions to the team.

Now I am not wondering any more shy she is poor and why teams would not like them/her to be part of the group.

Do you think she can still improve, be better

To be a success, you must upgrade your attitude, behavior, commitment and passion

It is about getting better...

God favors and blesses those who have the abilities and passion to pursue an opportunity that Gods present to them.

Many mistake that it is about money, its about winning a lotto ticket, a windfall.   (To eventually lose it)

Being success means:

    1.   Good habits

    2.  Being refined, respectful and desciplined

    3.  Keeping your word

    4   A person of integrity

    5.  Deep awareness of the consequence of wrong action or inaction

This post observed the behvior of the member of the team and how irritating their behavior and are blocks to the progress of the team:

    1   Twice they failed to deliver the promised financing for  the deal.  They said to look for a contractor as they have a 7 hectare property for JP and ready finacning for  P10 to 20m   None came

         They promised another tranche of much smaller amount P200,000.  Again zero and they never

bothered to inform that they failed in their promised  action.  And were not a bit bothered.

         They weakly suggested on the way to the venue:  why not PDC and to which this post replied

it is not as simple as that

   2.  Even though they had this failure:

       1.  They did the ordering without informing the finqncier

       2.   Had at the end of the transaction sign in fron of us a packging fee despite the fact that they

             failed on their deliverables

       3.  The docs of of the deal  TCT, Tax Dec, RPT Barangay resolution were not delivered prior to the

            signing payment of the consideration

With this observation, I conclude that these people who are my relatives can not succeed, unless they change their attitudes, habits and behavior.  

Wealth, richness is in the person.  Not money in the bank, mansion car.  It is what you do to yourself to improve and increase your value

What do you think?

   

Writing 16 word sales letter that works by Evaldo Albuquerque

It is about getting better...

We should have known this earlier.  But this has been written lately by Evaldo Albuquerque who works at Agora Financial and sold over $80 million financiala products.

Maybe this is similar ot the AIDA ads designed for FB.  Since most prospects are in a hurry and always scrolls their cp, they have no time nor patience to read long write ups.

The most important part of this letter writing is:

1.  Know and align with the mission.  Without the mission, you could not wirte a good copy;

2.  Before and after

3.  What prevented you from having this solution

4.  What is the pain/gain offered by the product

I hope this works for you.

A CV of employee from CBDs does not guarantee skills and competence

It is about getting better...

This post has an opportunity to work with a graduate of  Makati CBD job mill.  However as this post observe his technical and executive skills, I found them to be lacking.  Especially executive skills,  When I ask him for making a choice and recommending the best one, he could not.

I requested for a ____ plan which he submitted fast.  But devoid of research and on the ground data.   How could  that be a passable  ____ plan.  A plan has to be based on solid data and facts  Evidence based decision making   Just winging it?

So HR ladies and gentlemen, from whence an employee come from does not indicate excellence.  Probe, interview some more

There is a lot of egging on and lectures which I hope can push him to move up.  Of the 3 or 4 projects deal assigned to him, his score was 0.  And he was a graduate of a top PHL university

What is your purpose in life?

It is about getting better...

Myron Golden, a preacher, businessman, motivator, sales trainer says that it is the intersection of your passion and competence.

As is indicated in the scriptures and other religious books, our purpose in life is to find our gifts and use that gift in the service of others.   We live to GIVE.

Our purpose in life is to serve others;  to make others wealthy and rich first.   When we do that we can eventually be rich.

The law of the tide.  When the tide raises other boats, our boats too rise.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and everything will come unto you.

You are the wealth, the riches on this earth: not the money in the bank, the cars, the houses and condos

It is about getting better...

True wealth is not the money in the bank, condos, cars, houses and jewelry.

You are the true wealth:   your character (integrity, people's trust in you)  your skills and competence.

That is what you should cultivate and pass on to your sons and daughters.

Money vanish and precious metals rust and disappear.  Fires can eat and destroy houses.  But your personaliity:   no one can takek them from you.  Develop this, nurture this.  Improve every day.

This very special unique day has been created by the Lord for you.

It is about getting better...

This is in the scripture;  this is recited especially on Easter.  It is in the scriptures.  Truly this day is special for you and created like no other.

It is time for you: 

1.   To be truly you;

2.   To be happy;

3.   To have a new start and retake whatever losses you 

4.   To be a better you, to be better than before

5.    To heal your ache and sorrow

6.   To learn from your mistakes and lessons yesterday.

Its time to be blessed today and receive the gifts

Some basic principles on self development and becoming rich/wealthy

It is about getting better...

You really cant stop improving reading:  These are principles learned that should help me better, and lift me up at being 73 years old:

1.  Wealth is not equal to money.  Money rots and can be robbed or taken away.  The real wealth is in you. Investments should primarily be made in yourself:  books, seminars, conference, travel.

2. Money is a tool;   money is not an end in itself.  Money isi used to:   build project, hire people, improve yourself, help others who are in need.

3.  Plant seeds of prosperity.  You sow what you reap.  If you did not invest you do not get anything.

4.  We are in charge of the earth and universe.  The universe was created for you. The asteroids comets fell on the earth to deliver water and oxygen to make the earth livable for man.  The universe willl grant to you more than what the genie can give you 3 wishes only.   

5.  God gave you power and dominion on earth.  Thus men can really do things what his mind aspire for.

6.  Mind is powerful and all things that improved on this earth came from the mind.  Thus mind must be nurtured and developed to be more powerful.  To absorb and remember things, to do logical and critical thinking, to imagine and create.

7.  We are created to be of service to others; to make this world a better place

8.  We can prosper if we make others prosper;  We can only get rich if we make others rich.

9.  By default everything has been done for you.  All you need is to be ready for the opportunities and have your abilities ready for it.

10.  Opportunities favor the prepared (those who trained for it)

11.  Find your purpose.   It is the intersection of passion and abilties.

12.  It is easier to pursue jobs and tasks that are in accordance with above two.

13.  Some business principles:

     Ikea effect.   There are not rejects in Ikea product because the customer contributed his labor.   Many projects will prosper if the team is involved and contributes.

     Workshops, table discussions work in seminars.  

14.  Reframing

        in negative way;

        in a manner that is understandble to the receiver 

        Work.

15.  Story telling works

16.  Mimemtic works   We copy what others are doing.  Treding.  If we could trend or post something viral

17.  Clarity.  Strive for clarity in ads, communication, and purpose

18.  Law of tide  =  When tide rises, the rest of the boat rises.  If we lift others, we lift ourselves. 

19.  Selling business is not merely for us.  It is for others.  Without remembering this, we never build a big business

20.  You can not scale time.  Earn money so that you can build time

21   Your income is comensurate to value of time you designate.  Thus if if you devote more time to sales, rather than messengerial work, then you can be wealthy.

22.  What you value as priority is seen in your:   bank account and calendar.

23.  We listen to words but what we see better are actions and results.

24.  Study how to ask the proper question before you get the right answer

25/  Be resourceful

26.  Have bigger and more intesnse ownership.

27.  Be extremely dissatisfied.

28.  Be scared to fail.

29.  There is no place to go except to succeed

30.  Learning or blessing.   (A bad event, a failure)

31   Thinkin in systems.    Causes of problems are not linear are not simple but ares in interaction of inputs, throgrough puts, human aid, catalyst, environment, purpose and outputs.

Cure to equalize leg length of polio victim - what the story means to us

It is about getting better...

Myron Golden tells of story about how at an early age he contracted polio.  Naturally he could not walk well because of this difficulty in his anatomy.  He was offered a procedure to equalize the length of his leg.

The procedure consist of :  cutting the tibia in the middle, the fibula at distal end (two cuts),  attaching screw, and having extender screws outside the lenth to pull the bones outward.

The procedure would take 30 days, by adjusting the screw to pull the bone pieces outward 1/2 turn EVERY DAY.

It was painful.

What this story means to us:

1.  To change is painful.

2.  To get from here to there, especially if your outcomes are dismal, you need a different kind of process, or cure.   To do the same thing again expecting different result in INSANE (Albert Einstein)

3.  In order ot change, it takes thirty days.

4.  You need to do it DAILY

5.  Small increments count (1/2 turn every day

Wealth is not equal to money (PHP) wealth is in you. You are the wealth: not the check, the houses or cars.

It is about getting better...

People have mistaken that money, cars, belongings are the wealth and riches.

But the real riches and wealth are in you or are in you.

It is our duty and destiny to contribute to the wealth of this world,  It is wrong to only get ayuda and blessings from this earth, without contributing anything.  

Our contribution to society depend on what we use in our jobs.
