Let's Promote Tourism! I love Baguio!

I firmly believe that one of the factors that will make our country become successful is through tourism. And I'd like to invite everyone to be open-minded to what I have to say here. I'd like to start with my beloved Baguio.

Recently, we just had our business bootcamp in Baguio. When me and my coach were observing one of the views in the place, we noticed something. "Sagwa tingnan ng mga bahay sa malayo," my personal business coach said. Yes, the site looks like smokey mountain from afar. In other countries, they strictly have one color and pattern for a certain zone, he continued to explain. I concluded, yes, it would be perfect if most of the sites have the same color. Then I imagined how it would be if the houses were in shades of green, some brown, some red. It might be more delightful to see.

No offense to the people residing in the areas of our proud Baguio. I also personally love Baguio especially for its cold climate. I love it because I'm dreaming of building a University there with coats as uniforms. It would be perfect since the place has cold climate unlike in the metro to which the students would be drenched with sweat if they have this kind of uniform. But it would really be great if we can greatly improve our one of the best visited places in our country. Thus, I promised to myself, I will be more successful in my current business, teach it to more people so they can become my future investors so they can help me when I pursue tourism projects!

This is one of the things that drives me to be successful today and in the future. I hope I sparked even a bit of inspiration to you on how you can contribute more to our beloved country.

Great day!

A 6 Year Old Boy Knows It's OK To Fail

Most people are scared of failing. And that's the main reason only a few consider going into business. More importantly, if some go into business, most never consider going into big business.

In our recent boot camp training, one of my favorite mentor gave a talk about succeeding by maintaining high energy. What amazed me so much is his little child. "Christian, is it ok to fail?" he asked. And the 6 year old child replied in his nice little voice with,"Yes." "What would you do if you fail?" he gave another question. "Practice more,"was the reply.

Just imagine where this child would be in the future with a very strong mental foundation with regards to failing and success. No wonder rich people become richer for they pass on to their children the mindset of a successful person. And one of their mindset is it's OK to fail.

Are you scared of failing? How catastrophic can you handle today? Business takes risk. Are you willing to take risks?

One of my favorite lessons in Rich Dad Books is we need to learn how to manage risk. Before, I never consider using the leverage OPM or Other People's Money. I've always used to use my own money to invest in business. But today, with the guidance of mentors and successful businessmen, I'm fine with using OPM. One way of reducing risk in order to make it manageable is having mentors that will guide you through who have experience. And that's one of my advantages that's my business is doing great.

Going into business needs strong mental attitude towards failure and success. You also would need guidance from experienced businessmen who are really doing business on their own. Like what my mentor would sometimes ask,"If you would want to be the best accountant, would you ask an engineer?" The answer is obvious and, thus, if ever you want to be the best in business, you need to ask someone who is successful in business. Be careful to whom you get your advises and to whom you are always with. Being successful means being a great blessing to others. And we need more people who are successful to lead our country forward to prosperity.

Cheers!

Who is the Leader of the Filipinos?


When I was still in College, I remember thinking about who will replace President Erap when he was about to be impeached. I thought what changes will happen when President Gloria will be in place. I've always asked myself at that time, who can really lead the Filipinos to prosperity.

I guess that's the time I promised that if ever I will have my own family, I would raise my children to become great leaders and as they pass on this passion of mine, at least maybe my great grandson would become a great president and will lift our country to great heights!

Who is the leader of the Filipinos? Who is our leader? How can we lead our generation? Do we have the ability to lead our countrymen? What can I do? These questions left me thinking what can I do for my country.

And as I reflect more, I grew curious what it takes to be a leader. What if I have what it takes? What if I can grow myself and be a great leader? And so, the journey began.

I pursued leadership and I ended up a businessman. I love being a businessman and a great leader at the same time. I've seen the great power of leadership. I never thought I could gain loyalty from very strong and powerful people. Now, I believe the Filipinos will rise to victory against poverty once again. For I myself witnessed that a Filipino have the ability to be a great leader. I witnessed it in myself, I pure-blooded Filipino.

As we strive against poverty and challenges, let us not forget we are destined not just to be good but great. Long live Filipinos!
