6 Tips for Making It Work as a Part-Time Entrepreneur


6 Tips for Making It Work as a Part-Time Entrepreneur

You know you want to start a business, but you can’t shake those financial pressures — rent or a mortgage, a car payment and maybe you have kids. Even young people have responsibilities after all. But tack on the fact your business idea will surely take time to catch on, and starting up can seem even further out of reach.
You are a perfect candidate to become a part-time entrepreneur.
While not ideal for every young trep — jumping head first into the start-up pool can be a preferred route — getting the business up and running before letting go of a regular paycheck may be the best course. Here are six ways to make the transition into entrepreneurship a smooth one:
  • 1. Find balance. Of course, this is what being a part-time entrepreneur is all about. Can you start up and maintain your commitment to your full-time responsibilities? If you get caught up in your business to the point that your full-time job suffers, people will notice and it will cost you opportunities and, potentially, the job itself.
  • 2. Be patient. As a part-time entrepreneur, you simply can’t move forward with your new business at the same pace as those who can work on theirs full-time. And even full-time entrepreneurs never have enough hours in the day. Find the right pace for you so you can see progress without completely wearing yourself out. Be patient; you may not be moving as fast as you would like, but forward is good.
  • 3. Bank your profits. At some point, you will want to walk away from your job and be a full-time entrepreneur. The money you save now will enable you to take that step sooner. If you don’t need it to grow the business, then save it for your future, but be prepared to put it back into your new business as needed.
  • 4. Set flexible goals. As you build your business, you may find your day job getting in the way of your entrepreneurial goals. That’s OK. It’s what being a part-time entrepreneur is about. Watch out for a tendency to beat yourself up for spending too much time on your job at the expense of your business. Your energies will need to shift from one to the other as time goes on, and that’s OK.
  • 5. Take yourself seriously. While you’re taking baby steps with your business, you and others may discount your plans because your progress is slow. Don’t let timing affect your long-term commitment. Find ways to remind yourself of what you’re working to accomplish. Don’t let others dismiss your goals. Remember that you can make this happen, it will just take longer.
  • 6. Have an escape plan, if you want one. Do you want to be a part-time entrepreneur forever? That’s actually alright. Operating as a part-time entrepreneur may not have been your original plan, but if your business can succeed in your off hours and you enjoy your full-time job, why not?
  • However, if your entrepreneurial plans include running your dream business full time, you need to define milestones and set goals that include walking away from your day job. What needs to be in place in terms of infrastructure, sales, product development or other criteria before you will be ready to quit?

Being Productive even on a lazy and rainy Tuesday

Being  Productive even
on a lazy and rainy Tuesday .................... Making a Video!



 
Its the second day that its been raining here and just imagine if i was still an employee how challenging it would be to go to work or even just get out of the bed due to the cold and very comfortable "Bed Weather"

Great thing is, i don't really need to go anywhere!, That's one of the advantages when your managing your business or investments at home and specifically online. So rather than sleep the whole day i decided to do something productive while doing my morning routine of drinking coffee and catching the morning breeze. I decided, to make a short video of how "Great" it is to stay at home during this times, how advantageous the internet has  been to me and share a very successful event last Saturday that i consider a first and one of the turning points in my career (truly i made the right choice)

To my surprise, when i powered on my laptop and just decided to check my skype and facebook, a chat box in skype already greeted me with curiosity coming from Singapore and another one from Bacolod, Philippines. Both were asking what i do for a living online =) So video stardom aside, i talked to the guys for a few hours and showed them some short video clips of what im doing and there really into it. Just Imagine, they will be one of many business associates that im working with that i met and actively make money online even if its one different country or island province to mine. Hundreds even thousand of miles apart but the web can really make things very convenient!

So after that, i already decided to work on the video and asked my wife to help out since i do need someone to work the camera =) after editing and a few sounds, here's the 6 minute video. I wont talk about it anymore since you can just watch it. Enjoy!

16 Reasons Why It's So Important To Follow Your Dreams


The 16 Reasons Why It It's So Important To Follow Your Dreams


1. The secret of living is giving, if you follow your dreams then you will have something worth sharing with others, hope, inspiration and a meaning to live, and that to me, is a great contribution.
2. Chasing your dreams will develop your courage. Courage is your fuel to achieve amazing success in life, follow your dreams and exercise courage. In sure enough time you will be unstoppable.
3. There is a reason why as kids we loved magic and dreams. Stop chasing your dreams and you will forget how it feels to live hopeful and young.
4. Great dreamers grow to be independent, learning that they can make a difference all by themselves.
5. Dreams can distract you from the negative events in life. You will weigh up what is more important, your dreams or the drama. Drama seems obsolete when you are passionate about following your dreams.
6. It gives you something to share and inspire your kids with, you have led by example that anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
7. Through accomplishing your dreams you will come to appreciate the experience of failure and know that failure is just part of success and that it wasn’t really all that bad as it was all worth it in the end.
8. Regret is a terrible thing, and a dream is powerful enough to bring you regret if you don’t take the chance to at least follow it.
9. Because you are never too old to dream. Age means nothing when we know what we want.
10. You become an interesting person, you show others you have meaning, direction and purpose.
11. The unknown of following your dreams may spark a little fear, this is okay though because a little fear is known to make you feel more alive.
12. It is fun proving the world wrong, so why would you follow the status quo?
13. The more you chase and accomplish your dreams the more the lines of the boundaries that the world puts in front of us fade, as we learn that any and everything is possible.
14. When you accomplish your dream, you are the first to see it happen. You can share your accomplishments with the rest of the world but you where there in the front row on a single chair to experience the magic that unfolded.
15. Your dreams have no limits, you are the creator of your dreams, big or small. When this is understood, you are able to design a way to favour you plan and accomplish your end goal.
16. A dream is strong enough to define you, once accomplished you prove to others they have no say in who you can and can’t be.

Cheers!

5 Myths About Being An Entrepreneur


5 Myths About 
Being An

If you’re looking for a feel good post about why you should quit your secure 9 to 5 job and become an entrepreneur, this is not the post for you. Being an entrepreneur is great and I wouldn’t trade it for a desk job, but there are some things aspiring (or existing) entrepreneurs should know.
#1 You’re going to be insanely successful. You are not the next Mark Zuckerberg. Sorry, you’re not and I’m not. If you have the idea that you’re going to sit down and create the next Facebook and be worth billions of dollars in seven to 10 years, it’s not going to happen. Am I saying it’s not good to dream big? No. I’m saying there is only one Facebook and only one Mark Zuckerberg in this world.
#2 Entrepreneurs have a very flexible work schedule. They can work three to four hours a day and have plenty of time to goof off. I know I’m not alone when I say that entrepreneurs don’t have the luxury of ending our workday abruptly at 5pm. When you own your own company or work for someone who does, you have to put in the extra hours and the extra effort to make things happen. If you aren’t ready to work some pretty long days, you probably aren’t cut out for being an entrepreneur.
#3 Entrepreneurs can take off when they want — after all, you’re the boss, right? Remember all those times you used to be able to party on random nights of the week or just take off for a weekend with your friends? Not if you want to keep your business afloat the first year (or two, three, four, etc). Now I’m not saying you won’t ever get time off, but most entrepreneurs live, eat and breathe their businesses and a lot of times partying gets pushed to the wayside. What’s more important: Doing keg stands with college buddies or generating income so you can pay bills the next couple months?
#4 Working from home means you’ll have more time for your relationship, your pets, taking care of your home, etc. Wrong. Because you work from home, it’s like you live in this constant state of never finishing anything. You start cleaning the dishes and then think of a great idea or feature for your company. Instead of taking your significant other out to a nice meal, you ask to get drive thru so you can get back to work quicker. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked over at my dog and it looks like he’s crossing his legs because he needs to go outside (and I love my dog to death!).
#5 Everyone wants to have your job. I’m guessing it’s because people genuinely don’t love their jobs, but they think you have this perfect setup where you get to work and play all day long. I always hear things like “At least you don’t have to deal with a commute” or “I have so many worthless meetings and calls, you’re lucky”. Do you want to trade the last three days I worked 18 hours and had to go above and beyond to appease clients? No, no you don’t.
For all the starving entrepreneurs out there, keep fighting the good fight. We’re all doing things we love and enjoy, and that’s what matters. I may not be building the next Facebook, but I am excited about controlling my own destiny and knowing the harder I work, the more results I see.

Cheers!

10 Worst People In MLM

           10 Worst People In MLM

I read this article from one of my Facebook Groups recently and i cant help but share it to others in hopes to enlighten some people if not shake and wake them up to the importance of work ethics and proper attitude towards MLM.

First of all, these names 
names used here are fictional in nature and are not tied to any specific person. So…if I use a name here and it happens to be your first name and the badness applies to you, then it’s simply coincidental in nature.

Also, this people do not reflect any specific company, rather it reflects specific work ethics and/or attitudes of individuals that are detrimental to any industry. 

As a disclaimer that i read in the original article: This post is sure to piss someone off. If it does, then a good idea would be to look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Why does this make me so mad?” 


You ready? This is gonna be fun. 


#10 Wayne the Whiner: This poor fella is so focused on what’s wrong that he spends more time with tissues than in training. He’s so busy wiping his nose that he just missed out on the person in front of him that said they wanted to join. He’s one of those guys that eventually become a “red button” person on your cell phone. If you don’t get that, look at your cell phone and imagine him calling you. You can push one of two buttons, red or green. 

#9 Erin the Exaggerator: Erin makes some money, but far less than she tells everyone. She walks around bragging about how big her volume is and how large her check, only to get caught one day when she forgot to log out of her genealogy report and a friend got a chance to see what she was REALLY making. That friend took a screen shot of her report and posted it up on Facebook for everyone to see. The sad thing is that she actually had a pretty decent check, one that a lot of people would be thrilled to have, so there was no need to exaggerate. Ooops! There went the reputation…and it didn’t even have to go that way. 

#8 Dick: This particular person doesn’t need to be called by any other name. He needs no first or last name, it speaks for itself. He is one of those guys that treats his downline like trash, failing to realize that this is actually a volunteer sport that people do because they want to, not because they are forced to. Dick goes on every day pointing his finger at people telling them what to do, while all the while he does nothing. Dick isn’t very nice. And…Dick’s team is dwindling. Dick is experiencing team shrinkage. If Dick would simply smile more and be more kind, he’d realize that people would stay. 

#7 Crossline Chrissy: Poor girl thinks she is God’s greatest gift to network marketing and that her company is the only game in town. She goes around writing letters to people in different companies offering them a “spot” and a unique opportunity to take part in the greatest thing that has ever lived, putting all others down. She spends most of her time recruiting people from other companies rather than actually growing our profession, showing her true weakness. Instead of “lifting up” our space, she degrades it. The thing is, her company is actually pretty decent and she’d likely make a more positive and lasting impact on the world if she just focused on talking to people that NEED or WANT an opportunity, rather than stealing from someone else. 

#6: Johnny the Jumper: Johnny is well-liked by most…at least for a while. He has a really great personality, but no patience. He’s actually pretty decent at recruiting, mostly because he’s fairly charming. Unfortunately, his fatal flaw is the inability to stick to something for more than a couple of months. After about 15 deals, Johnny’s friends no longer follow him. The last time I saw Johnny, he was making sandwiches in a Deli down in Orlando. 

#5: The King of Whales: This dude talks all the time about “how all the whales are coming in”. He’s one of those guys that you NEVER ever hear from until he’s onto the next deal. Then…when he calls you, it’s like you are his greatest pal ever. You’re the BEST of friends, even though the last time you talked was nine months ago when he was pitching you something else. You’ve heard this so many times before that you can literally lip it…wait, here it comes, “Todd…all the whales are coming in.” I chuckle every time he calls. 

#4: Blaming Billy: This guy is always talking about how his sponsor wasn’t good enough, or how the system sucked. All the while, every company he has ever been in, people are making money. It’s always somebody else’s fault and never his. Poor Billy goes through life pointing fingers and assessing blame. The best thing for him to do what be to go to the carnival and enter the House of Mirrors ride. There…yes, there is where he will find his answer. 

#3: I’m going to make you…Rich: I’ve met Rich a whole bunch of times. Rich talks a lot…until he’s gone. Rich comes in and never listens because he knows it all, even though he’s never made a dime in this profession. He talks about all the volume he is going to create and how you’ll never have to work again a day in your life now that you have him in your downline. Rich was done the moment he opened his mouth. He’s cursed. I’ve met many Rich’s in my day and NONE have ever done anything. 

#2: Paralyzed Paula: Poor girl is scared of her own shadow. Wants to make money for sure, but can’t seem to get out of her own way for even a second. Paula keeps looking for all the answers even though she’s already been given access to all of them. Paula keeps calling you asking for help, even though you’ve given it to her time and time again, and even offered to make calls with her. She starts calling around to others on the team asking for help, insinuating that you’re not willing to assist. Interesting girl. Have you met her?

#1 Reinventing Rhonda: She saved up her money for almost two years to join YOUR team. She’s so excited to “finally” be working with you and to follow your lead. Bummer though. She won’t listen to jack. She knows you’re a leader in the business and that you have a long and proven track record of success, but she’s going to do it “her” way, all the while “saying” she is teachable. Then…she gets mad at you two months into the deal because you have stopped returning her calls. She hasn’t done ONE thing you suggested. She didn’t go to the training site, hasn’t attended an event, isn’t going to conference, and hasn’t event talked to one person in her warm market. Now…in her mind, it’s your fault. Crazy how things work, huh?

So…those are 10. There are more, but since I talked about 10 in this post, I will keep it there. Do you know any of these people?? Ever had the pleasure of working with them?

Can you earn BIG money and get RICH in employment?


First of all, before you continue reading this article, let me already advise that this may hit "some nerve" for some people. As they say, "the truth hurts but it will set you free". Now if you are not open to others ideas and creative criticisms then, please don’t read any further but if you are open to others ideas and feel that this is an article meant to help you then, enjoy.







I have been catching on my readings, as well as some bonding moments with my peers and I realized I’m always being bombarded by stories about how hard it is being an employee specifically on the financial aspect. So I made some research online, gathered some experiences and stories and this is what I got.


Honestly, this is a crucial everyday topic already that I am well accompanied to as well, so I used to share the same sentiments and as it looks, not much has changed.

I don't want to say that nobody gets rich in employment, period, since I have read some items that are an exception that does make sense. Here are the exceptions:

1) Employees invest their hard earned money (retirement pay more or less). This is no trivial task since some have taken years to even save in the first place to actually invest it. I know a lot that was only able to invest upon retirement or near that age.

         a) Some would invest in traditional business like water refilling stations (I know a family friend who did this, father retires then invested in the province)
         b) A few will invest in bonds, shares and mutual funds. As much as this is  a enticing and could be lucrative, these are no items for beginners and a lot lose big money from the start due to lack of information and experience.  I suggest you equip yourself first with all the information you can get and an experience mentor/adviser before even attempting this one.
         c) And of course there is the MLM opportunity. Low capital, minimal risk and high returns. Now I will not focus on this for now since I am an active part of the industry and I’m not here to up sell myself.


But in reality while you’re tied in your employee career for the next few decades and have not saved that sum of money, these are what most people are doing.

1) Have you seen and met colleagues selling all sorts of knick knacks and homemade delights? Yes, this is what most are doing part time to make ends meet. Now there is nothing wrong with this, it is an honest source of income and hard work as well. In my Manager career, I was even a loyal buyer from some staff and sometimes a promoter (Christmas cookies or cakes anyone? hers are delicious) so next time, somebody tells you " i don’t like to sell anything" one point of your life you actually sold something from small knick knacks to an idea. Promoting is still selling.

2) Need insurance? Oh yeah, there are a lot of them as well =) insurance is not a bad investment, in fact one of my mentor is worth 20 million in insurance alone. He even said that insurance is a great investment for your money once you have a money generating machine other than your work because if this comes from your pay slip alone, it’s still an expense that could be challenging to maintain.

3) Are you looking for a house or maybe a condo? Honestly, if any of them offered me a place within my choice of locality I could have gotten one then but laguna, taytay and montalban was too far for me back them. Again, another good source but this is more of one time big time for me. No sale no allowance, it’s like selling cars.

4) Pautang (lending money)....too risky for me. Especially in the BPO industry I know a lot of very notorious people and horror stories about this. Again, if your good at harassing people to pay up (just kidding, not always the scenario) then 3%-5% interest are high returns ( Kapit sa patalim people, I know a lot of them. Sadly, some could have avoid this with a little good choices and decisions)

5)  And of course there is the MLM opportunity. Low capital, minimal risk and high returns. 

6) 
I don’t even want to tackle the shady deals but YES, there are a lot of them. Back then I even know people who would take coupons and make up liquidation reports just to kick some extra. Not recommendable by my standards.


But this has nothing to do with your work directly, what can you do with your work that can give you the chance to earn big? Just one way and that is through “Promotion”

Have you heard of the 80%-20% rule? 80% of the money and compensation only goes to the 20% population. That 20% is such a small percentage to move into especially since that 20% is limited to a number of allocations only. What am I talking about? That 20% is your corporate leaders and managerial positions and trust me they’re not going to give those positions easily because they themselves got it through hook or crook (just an expression)


If i may quote this line from a article from Phil daily inquirer
"
It is evident that long years of dedicated service are not the key to making big money out of employment.
This is bad news for employees who have been programmed to believe that as long as they continue to make the businessman rich, they too will get rich when they retire. When successful businessmen retire, they wallow in luxury. When an average Joe retires, he either invests his hard earned retirement money
wrongly, loses medical benefits for sicknesses he contracted as an employee, or simply squanders his big money that he wasn't used to have all his life. Ces't la vie."


Yes, the only option to technically earn big in your work or employee career is be promoted and keep being promoted. Note that I said "technically" not "ethically", you know what I mean.

So what do you need to prepare yourself for the corporate “Rat Race”

Its smart to start in a good company, Why? Promotion requires time and a lot of effort and the last thing you want is to invest those in the wrong company or career path.  Always work with your options, don’t just jump on the first ship that will offer you a ride. Be smart and do your home work about the company and your possible growth path but again this is no easy feat. Everybody has the same idea as you and some may even have the better school and credentials. be ready to fight for that position if you don’t want to be just a average joe at the office.

Your talents and skills. This is your value to the company. The more you have this, the more valuable you are.

Always learn and keep learning. It adds to your value. 

Always have the edge compared to your peers and competition (friendly of course) Always remember, at the end of the day you are still a number to the company and a number away from the next replacement. Number can pertain to stats, deliveries, sales or success rates/projects.

Yes, Attitude is still important. For me at least, when I screen new candidates for positions I take in greater consideration over talent or skill is the person’s attitude and interpersonal skills. Anything can be learned and taught but attitude can make and break everything not to mention you don’t learn this overnight. 

Experience is always the first requirement that all people ask for so be prepared to burn a lot of time to acquire experience. Yes, you can say some get lucky but as a standard, experience is the first thing to check.

Most importantly, be well informed. Office politics anyone? If you’re not aware of your own place politics well, let’s just say it’s an advantage to be in the know. By the way this can make or break you, even if you’re the best in the game, be warned it’s not a fair ball out there.

Hopefully, I didn’t forget anything. Give or take that is what they or you will have to look for if you want to climb that ladder and run that race. As for me, I’ve been there, it was an experience and I would say people can go through the same experience so they can get their own experience and learn the same values because at the end of the day even the big guys in my old companies were always on the lookout for the next opportunity to earn more. I’ll be honest, resources can do a lot in life that’s why admit it or not everybody is looking for chance to earn. There is nothing wrong with money especially if it will make the life of your love ones more comfortable.

As i was always advised, there is no such thing as easy money or easy way. There are always challenges but nobody said that we cant be smarter and handle it better.

The only question I leave you is this, given the chance would you prefer to earn 100,000 thousand after years of hard work when you can earn the same amount in half of that time or even months? Nothing is impossible, there is a lot of ways to earn and some may even know something that’s not included in this article but the point is opportunities are just a waste when you don’t give it a chance.


Rather start young, since you’re going to do business when you’re old anyway.

Top 5 reason why you should consider Multi Level Marketing this 2012


Top 5 reason why you should consider Multi Level Marketing this 2012

What and why are the most common questions that you will always encounter when people hear the word “Multi Level Marketing” or “Networking”. 

But believe it or not, even if people say “I know that already” the underlying factor that binds all potential clients is they don’t really know much about it in the first place. Some may have an idea but bottom-line is this people don’t have the correct and valued information about the industry and how it can help them, that’s why they don’t see its potential or value.

So what do people know? Most of the time, people speak  out of the context from what other people told them and sadly most of this second or 3rd hand information are already subjective rather than objective. Some even talk about the industry yet they haven’t tried it or succeed in it, so that’s not a reliable source of information. As I was advice by my mentor early in my career, pay your respects to other people’s opinions yet at the end of the day, if it will not help you get your goals or targets, disregard it. It does make sense; simply put it, if you wanted to be a successful business man, entrepreneur, dancer or what even tickles your fancy, you listen to those who succeeded in their career not to those who failed.

So why would you consider Network Marketing as an alternate career or source of income? There are technically 3 ways to earning money:

 1st is you working for another someone else or what we a being an employee.  This is a good idea, if you want to retire at the age of 60, depend of Social security and start building your dreams from here coming from your retirement pay. Statically speaking this was and sadly still the trend for some people.  But there are some people who are able to make it from these demographics but sadly it’s too low and how? They invest their savings so bottom line they still don’t just focus on being an “employee”
Question is, if you can earn and starts early then retire younger would that sounds like a better plan?

2nd Become a Professional like a Doctor or Engineer. Though, this requires a lot of time in studies, masteral’s and trainings not to mention that you’re paying huge sums of money as tuition or fees. Are you even aware that some Nurse undergoing OJT are required to pay a fee just to do their required OJT? That was not the case before. Of course, this is a good investment and plan as well some even calls this passion and that’s great but I have met a lot of people who struggle financially doing their passion.

3rd Is to have your own business or become an Entrepreneur. This could have the highest potential return and key to that Freedom may it be financial and/or time. But remember, in traditional business or any business there are always risk involved as well as large amounts of money to start up your own.

So let’s look into an alternative that you can do while juggling your career that won’t eat a lot of your time and jeopardize what remains of your social life, if not we can improve it.

So you’re asking me “WHY NETWORK MARKETING again?” Let cite Top 5 reasons why you should consider the industry like myself and make a better 2012 compared to your yearly routine. By the way, these are proven and well known facts that we encounter every day.

1.       Recession or Unemployment – This is a proven crisis even in the US and is here to stay. Downsizing, redundancy issues and retrenchment to save resources and limit cost. Some are even moving into technology to increase productivity and unfortunately reduce labor cost.

Here in the Philippines, from my previous industry, these are common practices in the BPO industry. Yes, you may say there are a lot of other companies but were looking at stability of income and long term goals; nobody wants a short term day in day out life anyway.

When you consider a Networking career, yes, you will still start from scratch or basics moving up but the advantage is seen in the principle of Leverage and Exponential growth (I’ll discuss this on a separate article) and as the topic relates, there is no lay off in Networking. The more you work here, the more it gives back. How? A proven effective system and support structure that is not talent or metrics base like your old job.

2.       Network Marketing is the only wealth generating business that does not require you to give up your life savings but still generate large sums of money – Like as mentioned above, this boils down to a proven and effective system. To make it easier to understand, lets cite the example of franchising a successful establishment. Let’s say McDonalds, it’s very popular and guaranteed working because of the System that you need to follow.  In a day, (I forgot the projected earnings that I read before in an article) let’s say it earns 100k, that’s a huge amount but what most people don’t know is the 100k is not your net income since there are the overhead expenses and don’t forget the royalty fee’s your paying for the brand name. NOT TO MENTION! If you have 5 million and more to invest in MCdo in the 1st place. For the average “Pinoy” or employee, that’s impossible.

But in Network Marketing your 8,900 pesos, will give you the same capability like those businesses to earn. It gives you the proven & effective systems to earn twice that amount even as much as 360,000 minus overhead expenses. How? Because you’re leveraging on the System not your talents or skills and at the same time leveraging on a mutual and beneficial partnership between you and your business partners. Not to mention, at this age of social media , you have the power of social online networking at the tips of your fingers.

3.       There will always be Inflation – why bother with circumstances that you can’t control rather let’s focus on what is within your reach of influence or action, your financial capability.

-          Reduce your expenses – learn necessity from luxury, even the rich will tell you “ it doesn’t mean you can buy it, you should”
-          Raise your Financial capability – Don’t just rely on your job, at the end of the day your just a number better than the last person. There is no stability in your boss
