Mental Models that we can use

Be better than before, than yesterday...

This is discussed in 5th discipline by Peter Senge.  This video lists mental models we can use

1   Maps and reality dont match

2.  Focus on your circule of competence

3.  First principles  (eg believing that launching rocket is an expensive enterprise)  Find the first principle.   Eg. that costs of launching rocket is only 2% of total costs.

4,  Test your theory vs reality with experiment

5.  2nd order thinking

6.  Probalistic thinking  (degree of confidence)  vs results

7.  Inversion (what can be worse so that we can avoid mistakes)  What can be stupid?

8.   Occams razor.   The simplest explanation is usually right. 

9.  Hanlon razor -  things happen not because of malice but oversight

Being taken out of the picture motivated John Rockefeller to be a success

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Mr. John Rockefeller when he was young and studying was taken out of school picture at the request of the photographer for not being pleasant looking   It was degrading and demotivating to be excluded from class picture that he would be greatest man wealthiest man ever...This was contained in 38 letters to his son (which later became a book)

So a negative should be a demotivator.  It should be a motivator.

We should have a relentless self belief that we are the best

A smart sharp traveler from Cebu saved a hotelier in Makati

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Read from Mashabook.   

A businesswoman from Cebu stayed in a hotel overnight in Makati and was being charged P4,500 for the overnight stay.  She asked how come.   The receptionist said the price included  breakfast, use of gym and swimming pool  However she said she did not use the facilities and why would she be charged for this Also she was doing business advisory and consultancy for the hotel.  Because it is not being used she is not charging for it

The owner, boss of the hotel heard the commotion, asked what was happening and apologized for the misunderstanding.  He just said it is on the house.

The lady overhead though that it is the end of the month and they would not be able to pay the rent of the building.

Lady q -  How much is the rent?

Answer   P2,000, 000 per month

Q:    How many total rooms and how many are occupied

A:    80.   Only 35 are occupied

Lady:   Suggestion

   1.  Tie up with car wash repair shop to tie up with hotel at P1,500 per room.    If you have 10 car wash

        enrolling for 10 each that is P150,000 +   x 30  =  P4,500,000

  2.  Offer unli voucher for P20,000 for frequent travellers.  Aim for 1,000 subscribers.   Thats 20 m!

    Thats a lot of addition to revenues and cash flow that will solve your rental problems

Did the lady earn her P1,000 freebie?  What do you think of this unique ideas?  Innovative, amazing to solve both marketing and financial issues.  

Will you able to think of similar strategies/moves, bordering on tricks or scams.?   Or regulatory limits

Taking on brilliant, superb deal (albeit risky) THE BAR

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Some of the better businesses are in entertainment and what could be better than the bar where students, workers, and the elite gather at night to relax and be entertained.   But how do you acquire man

From Mashabooks:

A millionaire lost all his money and had P40,000 left.  But he has still an Armani suit with him.  He went into a bar and thought of how he can recover if he invests in a bar.  He toyed with the idea of investing in a bar.  He talked to the owner.      He said P80 million.

Ok he said P100,000,000 .  I will pay you P10M up front see if the business is good and pay you the balance in one year.   If not I will let you keep the P10 million

So on day 2, the new owner called the 5 managers for a meeting  Ok if you put up P3 million each, you will receive  8% share in the bar.   (or 40%)   He will return the money in 1 year.  To which they agreed   Thus he got P15 million, paid P10M to the owner, and has P5M as operating capital Then he announced to the manager of his marketing and investment blitz.   GC your contacts:

       He will have customer investor day, and food and drinks will be for the owner.

       He welcomes investor of P2M each who will receive P2M worth of gift check for food and drinks;

              He will return P2M at end of 1 year

                                        2.5 at end of  2 years

                                        3.0 at end of  3 years

                                        5.0 M at end of 5 years.

400 guests came to the bar and 200 signed up for the investor deal.   He grossed P400 m, he got the 90M to pay the owner, and 15M to pay back the manager.  Brilliant eh.  

The principal is lucky because it does not usually  happen that way. Maybe a fairy tale

This calls for:

1. Creativity,

2.  Frugality to come up with P500,000

3.  Salesmanship to convince the bar owner, 

4.  Integrity so that they will trust you

5.  Creativity and ingenuity to come up with the deal

6.  Audacity and courage to take on the risk

Reengineering reinventing yourself after 50

Be better than before, than yesterday.

Two decades ago, Nonong Pedero (of Celeste Legaspi fame) posted this in newspaper columna dn called this reinventing

Today Elon Musk calls this recreate, restart, (reboot?(

We cant call ourselves retired, or done when we are 50.  The next 50 will be as productive or better depending on how you reset.   Make it better.   Stop defending what you have started because you will just get stuck up on where you were:

1.  What do you deeply care about?  What is your purpose?

2.  What does not make you sleepless at night?

3.  Where do you encounter most friction (or makes you most afraid)

If it does not fall under any of these categories, you are not reengineering yourself much

I think I will pursue other fields not finance or real estate anymore but in agriforestry or real estate (farm lots with agri forestry) or high value food production.   Or even food processing.  Then we go to the bottom of food security, and what ails the nation.  There is still much to be done

That means I have to work harder.   I need to make myself stronger and healthier.  Talk about dim and foggy eyes and HBP.  I will overcome this

Elon Musk failed 1000 times, and there were 3 times he cried

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Elon Musk who is now at odds with Pres Donald Trump (the latter threatening to deport him) heads X, Space X,  Neuralink, and Tesla and now the richest man on the planet.  Though he failed 1000 times, there were 3 events where he said he cried.

Nothing to be ashamed of because this is a reset  A reboot.  When there is all ready plenty of noise and the leader has lost clarity. This 3  events (SIP for Andrew Grove?) made all things clear later on:

1.  When he was kicked out of X com which later on became Paypal

2.  When both Tesla and space x nearly became bankrupt;

3.  After Dragon had a third successful launch

The reset and clarity that came in:

1.  For Xcom, choose your partner well and watch out signs for future coup de tat, and protect yourself

     From the $150 million he got from the X com acquisition by Ebay, he invested in space X and Tesla

     He discovered that business is not just about coding and software, there were other businesses as well

2.  He became more conservative and worked harder at Tesla and Space X when they nearly went bankfrupt.  He had to devote himself to just 3 things a day, and not micromanage the noise around

3.  The third was more frightening for him.  Because the successful launch was just the beginning and mean more challenges for Space X.  The challenge of Martian community is 1,000 times more challenging and difficult than the simple orbit launches they made.   Bigger challenges lay ahead  

For Elon, failures are challelnges and learning and they should make you better and stronger.  

Multiplying yourself; how to scale up

Be better than before, than yesterday...

"Go forth and multiply"

If you are a businessman, (ie earning for yourself, not employed) you cant scale up.  You must scale up, and neither can you scale up yourself and/your time because they are finite.  The only way is to multiply yourself via other people (OPL other peoples labor)

Always the key to mastery of business is mastery of self, ie, self improvement

Once a businessman rode a taxi from airport to his hotel.  And asked him how much he makes in an ordinary day.  The later answered about $800.00.

"What routes would be most profitable and why?"

Ans:   " Trips like this to the airport which takes in about $1,000.00. "

Why dont you take in more airport passengers to and from the hotel.   

Ans;   " I dont know how"

Businessman:   "This is what you can do.   Talk to hotel or airport staff and give your phone number.  Say that for every referral to you airport to hotel and vice versa passenger, you give him/her 5% commission.  Within the day."

"That is great But what if there are all ready other engagements and conflicts."

Ans:   "  Build a network of other taxi drivers.   You can split revenues say 70 -30 with them.   After the 5% to the referror, you still gain 25%.  For 10 pax, you still get $2,500 which can net you, on top of your $800.00 per day. say  26 days in a month,   $65,000 a month or  $780,000 and you can be a millionaire in 2 years.

Brilliant eh.

LESSONS:

1.  Great ideas abound, you only have to think and be creative

2.   Dont be afraid to be mentored or ask those who are more experienced;

3.   Creative and smart thinking beat hard work.

4.  Others stay poor because they are stuck to routine, and or fail to think

5.  Only creative, people,, entrepreneurs will.

Saving a failed bankrupt billionaire

Be better than before, than yesterday...

A bankrupt failed billionaire was about to jump off a bridge amidst bankruptcy and failed businesses.   The only way out was suicide.

So his friend, another billionaire offered help.  He offered a mountain side + $1B to be able to recover.

So he asked, "  How will you turn around and recover?"

The failed billionaire:   " Have a livestock farm"

Assisting billionaire:   "  Not even $2 billion rescue fund will be enough"

Here is my idea:

1.  Build a temple at the mountain top, build roads and infrastructure

2.  Invite scholars to go to the temple and conduct a contest and offer huge prizes so that the soc media will take note

3.  Collect $100 as entrance fee

4.  If there a 100,000 visitors, you will generate $10,000,000

5.  Better still, partner with a transportation company to transport visitors from further down the mountain for a partnership:  50 - 50 or 60 - 40

LESSONS:

1. Suicide running away from a problem is not a solution

2.  Be different in approaching problems or starting a busness enterprise

3.  Be audacious and restart with energy

Saw somewhere at a social media: story how a failing resto was turned around by a fertile mindset

Be better than before, than yesterday...

A rich expanding mindset, employing reverse thinking can turn around a failing business and make money for the owners.  After all, capital is not money.  It is from capito - head that makes money.  A thinking fertile mind know how to source money and create more.  

There was story and this was gleaned from Mashabook Success Strategies that tells of the boss and his assistant who just got from a seminar in BGC.  The boss asks the assistant what her desire were:  to get a LV bag worth P300,000 and a car.  The boss said he would nt do that.  May be he will give her a business.  

So they stopped by a Korean restaurant that does not have much traffic.  So the boss asks the owner how much would he sell the failing Korean restaurant.  The latter said P1.8 million    So the boss proposed a deal;    How about giving you an option money for P300,000 (the money for the LV bag)  and we try the business for one month    If it is good we continue and fulfill the P1.8 million purchase price;   if not we forfeit the P300,000 and consider it a rent .  The Korean resto owner agreed it being seemingly a perfect risk free deal.    

The boss said to the assistant.  Now you own the resto.    But follow what I say.  The assistant panicked:  how will I able to pay the remaining P1,500,000?

1.  Tomorrow, place this ad announcement:   "  Free soju that you can carry with one hand."  

2.  Free soju some more for those who will publish this on tiktok instagram  or FB;   they can bring their friends.

3.  Soon the resto was buzzing with activity with those availing of free soju promo

The next problem:  what if the prospects just availed of the free soju?

Why some people will never hope to be wealthy; poor habits get them down

Be better than before, than yesterday...

Last Sunday, a neighbor passing by in front of our house saw me while I was sweeping leaves on the road in front of the house.   She mentioned of another neighbor who needs 6 numbers in loan.  This post chided her for always taking up business on the street not much different from a taho vendor.   I said I will relate this to the people who know that aspect of the business.   And so I did.

It was a day before the estate tax amnesty deadline so we had to move fast.  I tried to have the parties update me on the said transaction.   The other neighbor who needed the loan:    1.  Did not present the documents   2.  Did not show up    3.  Said they were willing to pay up to 5% per month.  We would charge 2% at most per month

It was reported that the proponent had a pares business at 3rd floor of a building (and therefore incurred huge losses) and was paying sky high rent.   The loan proceeds would just be used to pay off another loan (bad).  The ownership of the property being used as security is not theirs being adopted  (the parents are childless and they were two adopted  -  trouble ahead)    The property is intestate and would probably pay huge penalties

Some people will remain poor:

1.  For lacking etiquette in doing business;

2.   Some people lack clarity and would like to go on transaction that are unclear and would result in

      misunderstanding in the future.

3.   Greed and selfishness persist

4.   People make poor choices that is why they will remain poor

Politicians not interested in livelihood or generating revenues?

It is about getting better..

This post attended a meeting with my relatives and an in law who is just elected legislator.   the idea being to get him intested in a livelihood program for his constituents.

One of the objectives is to get the properties of my uncle overtaken by squatters to be made productive through some of the govt programs:    forest farming, or the timber or bamboo farming. 

But the lawyer, lawmaker doesnt have the spark in my view to go into business.  He just wants to go by the trajectory of legal - to be a judge.  He has deep roots in the brotherhood of FRRD .

He said he would study the various programs, and this post hopes he does.

Encouragement of livelihood vs ayudas

It is about getting better...

Is the Philippines going to the path of socialist state.  There is no shortage of projects that aim to make people work less and be dependent on dole outs:    AKAP, AICS, 4ps, the seniors universal pension.  Less and less of initiative, industry and determination if being asked from citizens.  Thus we are danger of losing supporters of the nation due to decreasing number of taxypayers (remember the tax exemption of factory workers, low wage earner is P200,000.  So what do we resort to:

     1.  Increasing burden of taxpayers - they paying more

     2.  Borrowing

And for the latter we complain that our future generations are all ready drowning in debt even before they are born  We are, our government is asking for this situation    Wise fiscal management and governance have escaped the heads of our honorable statesman  

The govt is supposed to lead the country, provide stable policies, peace and order, but not a super ordinte ATM   Wherever they get the idea for the latter.

Business taxpayer bear the burden for development.    We need investments, factories, productive enteprises, not ayudas.   etc.

Let us bring this back

Secrets for making money (its all about habits and mindsets)

It is about getting better...

Having more money is the result of your mindset, attitude about money.  

If your are generous, you will be generous with money.  

If you think money is bad, source of all evil, then you will sabotage money making

1  Money is tool, is a means to achieve things.  Not an enemy, or a problem   Money should be your ally.

2.  Time is worth more than money   You can recover money, but not time (So that you must use money to buy time)  Make more money by using less time.     We only have 24 hours a day.    We must know how to use time wisely.  

3.  Invest in yourself:   education, training, skills.  Not in cars house, luxury.     Never stop learning, improving.  If you improve, more php comes as a result.  

Start changing your mindset.

1.  Be thankful

2.  Invest time in self improvement.   Even if it is little

Leadership and being a self starter, less or 0 follow up

It is about getting better...

I am very senior now and my expectation in business is that I am done after long years of mentorship, with follow up and getting fired up and kicking ass.  This post expect the junior, now turning to seniors to exercise and practice leadership

I expect my subordinates to:

1.  Make recommendations for sound judgement and have weighed options all ready for decision;

2.   At their initiatives, fdollow up their timelines and contractors, without need for me to do the follow up

3.   Me not repeating many times procedures that need to be followed.

4.   Having the discipline for clarity and goals.

That is not happening yet.... Many lack determination and discipline

Health is wealth; why keeeping fit as an executive and/or entrepreneur is very important

It is about getting better...

Yesterday, this post scheduled a regular updating meeting at 4 pm.   One of the participants came in a bit later and he was limping.    About 2 weeks ago, we met with a business partner in Antipolo and after that he fell ill and afterwards, this seemed to have triggered a gout flare up and he was not well.  This post scheduled a meeting last Thursday, which he said he could not attend and had to reschedule this today.

Really health is wealth.  You need healthy mind and body to run a business. You cant think well, function well iif you are ill.

Invesst in good food exercise, relaxation, good night rest.    Be well.

Stay healthy and strong

Is it Ok to be selfish of your business knowledge?

It is about getting better...

We have an officer who shares his pressmatt being sent to me to the other party in a business deal.  I told him to be wary of such sharing.  When they learn of the numbers, they would be more prepared for counter attack and/or leave us at the table.

Is all right to keep certain things secret in a nego or give all.  Information knowledge is a resource and it can t just be shared.  

This guy a former businessmen, changed ways after he worked in the govt

It is about getting better...

A relative was ranting about his former business colleague whose ways changed after he worked in a free port.   It seems that his MO now is to get big people get on a deal, and get his fees up front.  An investment banker, or an influencer who always goes CIA. (Cash in Advance)

He now does not want to deal with the guy.

He is now out of the govt and back as private citizen.  Would you do business with this guy?

Would you do the same and be a traitor to your country

It is about getting better...

My uncle and I were discussing a citizen who has plenty of money.  He was reported to have sold 3 mountain sites to foreigners, who excavated the soil to be made into artificial islands  near his province.  They were built to be military installations, and firmed their claims on these islands.  

If you had such lands would you do the same?

Would you commit such treachery?  (On the other hand you are very very richhhhh!

China erects new structure in WPS

Huling2 ang katiwaldas: when the cat is away, the rats will play

It is about getting better...

We probably surprised the caretaker of the families 33 hectares estate:   there were being loaded probably 50 to 100 kaing of mangoes ripe for distribution, to be loaded in 3 jeepneys.   According to my companion, the caretaker has 7 tricycles and other assets.

Probably not being closely supervised.   Or simply we have plenty of people who are not Christians and who are not trustworthy.   Obviously not simply burying the treasures of the master.  But stealing and destroying them. 

While we try to take care of assets so that they will benefit the most.

Not everybody can be business leaders and entrepreneurs

It is about getting better...

As a senior, one of my missions is to mentor progenies and understudy to become successors.  But I forgot that leaders are products of being born, trained, or by serendepity.  And not everybody can be an entrepreneur, or a business leader.  Only a select true.

I found this out the hard way,  Despite yest and cordial meetings, the trainees when met by hard stuff, falter and crack up.   And end up worse than they were before.      So back to square one.  Start all over gain and or select a new crop

Effective communication - communication that really works

It is about getting better...

A son who just graduated from a prestigious grad school of business, was assigned by his father to lead and manage his construction company.    Months later the construction company was in shambles:    costs overrun, projects delayed.  The father investigated and found out that the cause was poor communications.  As a MBA grad and prestigious school grad, he practiced the civil and respectful communications.   However as I discovered early on  (we worked closely with contractors for road development and house counstruction) , communications with  construction workers is nearly just like a shouting match always.  A civil communication would not work. They would not listen   Communications with them has to be intense and forceful.

What do you think?

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.

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.
