Day 54 - What Will I Do Now? Please Help....

Now I'm Confused Source : Flickr

I'm back in my prison cell again - working in my job. (With a long sigh.....)

When I have already decided that I am moving to the entreprenuiral path, working at my job has become harder and harder as the days go by.

To add insult to injury, management just decided to add more reports that have to be submitted on a weekly basis. I "sarcastically" answered my boss whether we should be called salespeople or corporate secretaries. He directly diverted the topic.

That day, I told myself a simple affirmation, "all things will  work for the good". Honestly, I didn't understand why that affirmation came into my mind. Maybe God is teaching me patience again. Or maybe someday, learning all this reports will be useful for my future business.

Again, I know I should be seeing the bigger picture. Like what I used to say, "there's always an ROI". Like what Brother Bo said, all of our experiences will be used for God's purpose once we serve Him.

So I'm keeping my patience, and will do my best to keep an open mind. Learn all I can from the corporate world and hopefully, be able to apply what I've learned.

A confusing news :

The highlight of my day was in the evening. I attented my distributor's birthday party. Sir Larry is one of my first real-life business mentor, and I was very happy to celebrate with him his 56th birthday.

We enjoyed talking about business and health as well, but there was a really confusing news that became our topic.

Sir Gerry (brother of Sir Larry, who is the president of SMC properties) told me that the entire food group is being sold, and there is a possibility of us being paid for an early retirement.

I could not help but ask him again, since I was in disbelief. But his answer was the same.

Oh no, what will I do?

All throughout that night I was really confused. If I will submit my resignation now, I could lose the opportunity to get paid for a substantial amount of money. But if I will wait for another month, I will keep my business partners waiting in Cebu.

Honestly, I do not know what to do. I'm waiting on God, on where should I base my decision.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Only God knows, so I'll ask Him. Please pray for me, that I will make a brave decision.

I will be seeing you at the finish line, to a Million in 90 days.


Dedicated to you success,

Day 54 - What Will I Do Now? Please Help....

Day 53 - Celebrating A Sunday, Planning For Kerygma Conference 2010

It's a great day to celebrate God's love today. After a week of stress from the hospital and the successful operation of my wife, it was now time to praise and glorify our Lord.

We attended the Cebu Kerygma Feast, together with the entire team of Business Incubators.

The feeling of worshiping our Lord was a great feeling of revival. Again and again, He was saying, "come to Me all who labor/burden and I will give you rest". After a tiring week, God assured me again that no matter how heavy my feelings are, He will carry me in His arms and heal me.

The worship was followed by an inspiring talk by brother Oscar - "Get Rid of Your Past Guilt's". It was a continuation on the series of talks which was about changing our belief system.

That day, many people were blessed with God's promise of abundance and we all prayed for our dreams and said "My Biggest Dreams Will Come True This Year".

Also the highlight of the activity is that, after the worship and hearing God's word through brother Oscar, we were divided into small groups to do some sharing. Again, I felt that we were all healed and inspired during our sharing. God is truly amazing for bringing us to this community.

After that, we had lunch with Tito Tony, Janmck, and Tita Glo. We then headed home for a much awaited rest.

Meeting with Kerygma Conference Marketing 2010.

The Upcoming Kerygma Conference 2010 in Cebu

At 9PM that day, we again met with the entire marketing team for Kerygma Conference this coming December 4, 2010.

We had a new addition to the group, who is also a member of the Business Incubators. Again as a marketing consultant, we discussed the many important aspects of the upcoming Kerygma Conference.

In addition, we were given more chances to serve at the Feast since now we are also the Marketing and Creative consultants for the Feast as well. Wow! God truly wants to use us all the way.=)

Another great day towards earning my first million. I will be seeing you at the finish line, to a Million in 90 days.

Day 51 - An Eye Opener, More Opportunities, Real Estate

I'm so happy today that my wife was finally discharged from the hospital. She has undergone an "ovarian cystectomy". A surgery needed to get the Cyst from her left ovary.

Although everything was very successful, I couldn't help but think of the financial implication that it has done to my savings. Since, I am on the verge of quiting my job, it seems that God is really testing me. Or the more approriate word to use would be "making me stronger". I really do not understand why Our Father does this but, I've learned to say yes to His call in spite my confusion.

But I now know how to see the other side of the road. That no matter how bad the situation is, there is always something good about it. I sometimes call this "the magic in disasters", or in Bo sanchez's words, "unearthed treasures".

Here's what I learned.

A job with a Multi-national company cannot fully take care of you. There's no such thing as security in a job anymore. As an employee of San Miguel Corporation, I always thought that we don't need to worry about being hospitalized - "we have good healthcare benefits". Just today, I spent almost 20k for my wife's hospital bills, my food, and other expenses.

The key is to transfer to the entrepreneurial path and take charge of our life. We become the captain of our own "life ships". We should create multiple sources of income. A first income source, a second income source, a third income source, a fourth income source, and so on until we reached our life mission and dreams.

The old idea of having a well-paid job with good benefits is just a thinking of the past. So for us Filipinos to move forward, we have to learn to take responsibility of our own lives. Not only in our income but in our health, our relationships, and our personal growth as well.

I moved forward.

After realizing my learning, I moved forward. I know my first million is still out there, waiting for me to grab it. So I sent Tito Tony an SMS and asked him what is our business agenda for today.

As we met, my eyes were again blown away by the "diamonds in the mud". Again our Father reminded me, "Child there are too many opportunities waiting for you outside your job".

What is that diamond? REAL ESTATE! So that afternoon, I saw the enormous money making cows waiting for me to milk it. Partnered with Jan, Tito Tony, and a person who owns worth 700 Million of properties, we have a great amazing cash cow. The challenge is to look for many prospects and sell all those properties.

Furthermore, I have a close friend who is a start-up real estate broker, who is also dreaming of becoming a millionaire through real estate.

We have now formed a strong marketing group, ready to take on the challenge of selling the 700 Million worth of properties. Our team consists of :

"The Marketing Brain" - Tito Tony
"The Internet Marketing Guru of Cebu" - Janmck
"The Nerd Hunk" - Hanz
"The Real Estate Broker" - Germaine

"The Choy Super Salesperson" - Yours Truly

Now we're ready to take on a new challenge on the business world.

The finish line is just around the corner, to A Million in 90 days.
