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.

Jeff Bezos on being distinctive - in his address as he leaves his CEO post,; distinctive as a business strategy.

It is about getting better...

Rizal Philippines
4.20.2021





Jeff Bezos, probably the world's richest man (he alternates with Elon Musk depending of the price of their stocks) mentioned distinctiveness as he stepped down as CEO of Amazon


The world wants to make you ordinary:  the public the competitors, every one wants to level you down and  make you ordinary.  Especially at death, you are reduced to your elements to be become ordianary.

But Bezos says we must fight that tendency and be distinctive  (not different)  Most businesses are copy cats, me too products, one that follows the leader.   A true entrepreneurial business is unique, is different - by being set aside from the competitors and one that truly meets the needs and wants of the company.

This is a sound business strategy.  Most business schools in their case study method, encourages you to look at example of every one.   And be like one.

One of the teachings in the Breakthrough Thinking by Hibino is  uniqueness.  Each market, business environment is UNIQUE and what was successful in other companies cant be correct nor applicable to a unique business situation

This is being discussed in The "Purple Cow"by Seith Godin a marketing guru"   How to transform your business by being remarkable.     See also 







So do not fall into the trap of finding out what business are trending, because when you enter into the trending business, in most probability that business is overcrowded, because just like you many have joined the herd.

You wont make it if you are in the habit of benchmarking (well operationally you must do that)   Musk advocates starting from basic principles and proceed from there

There are many ways to be distinctive:

      1.   The biggest
      2.   The smallest
      3.    The fastest
      4.   The tastiest
      5.   The best process
      6.   Sturdiest

Steve Jobs has a word for it -  "make a dent in the universe"
