Surprises

Life is always full of surprises.
You never know when or where it came.
But one thing you know about it
It will change you from within.

Surprises make you smile.
Surprises make you think.
Surprises make you feel unusual.
Surprises make you different.

So what does surprises really brings?
Are they good or bad?
Maybe, it depends on the news that surprises bring.
Maybe, it depends on the people suprises were brought to.

But one thing I know.
Suprises may come instantly.
Response to this should not be.
Take time for the surprises that came to you.

Seven Alternative Sources of Capital for Setting up a Business

Borrowing from banks is every small entrepreneur's nightmare. One gets turned down for bank loans for a variety of reasons, including lack of assets, collateral and business experience. Don't despair, however. There are several common types of alternative sources of capital for setting up a business available to young companies.

Savings and Investments
The first source you should consider is your own savings and investments. One disadvantage though of self-financing is that if things did not turn out the way you want them to be it will be your money that goes down with the ship.

Angel Investors
Angel investors are affluent individuals who provide capital for a business start-up, usually in exchange for ownership equity. These individuals are looking for a higher rate of return than would be given by more traditional investments (typically 25% or more). Angel investors are an excellent source of early stage financing and high-growth start-ups. They are often willing to tread where there is too much risk for banks and not enough profit potential for venture capitalists. And since angel investors are often retired business owners and executives, they can also provide valuable management advice and important contacts.

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow UP?

            We used to ask this question to children and the usual reply is: I want to be a doctor, a policeman, a teacher, an engineer, go abroad and become a domestic helper or factory worker, a bank employee, a small business owning a place in a supermarket, to be a businessman but usually managing the business themselves, and many more. This was also the kind of question and answer I used to have as child. It was already a big success if you graduated in college and found a good job in Metro Manila. This is because the people in the barrios had a hard time tilling the land, working in small groceries, have a backyard piggery, and those who are tambays most often playing cards (tong-its) and other kinds of small time gambling.

The Power of David's Leverage

One of the meanings of this word leverage is this; doing more and more with less and less. I have experienced this thing not as a business owner but as an employee. I am a computer programmer and one of usual task is to process as many records as we can in a small amount of time. This means that it is better that we can process 1 million records in 1 hour than 50 thousand records in 2 hours. Or we used to process this manually; I think we can process only 10-20 records in 2 hours. This is the power of leverage and I know it is more rewarding for me if I can apply same thing for my own business right? :)

Dreaming Again...

I am always dreaming of helping people and dreamt of building an orphanage when I retired. I donated from time to time to some of the orphanages such as Lakbay Diwa in Quezon City and Bahay ni San Jose (http://www.bnsjorphanage.org/) in San Antonio Nueva Ecija. I am not happy seeing the children there but I was always inspired seeing them fighting for a good life. Never before did I think that it is possible to live my dream now and not have to wait until I retired.

Is it the money that motivates you to become rich?

I always heard bad things about networking in the news and have attended few talks about it. I always heard people talked about money, that I can earn a lot of money on this business if I want to. That may also be the reason why I didn’t entertain this for a long period of time until I’ve read some Robert Kiyosaki’s Books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, Own Your Own Corporation, The ABCs of Building A Business Team That Wins, The Business School and many more.
