Do you know the 90/10 Secret??

Do you know the 90/10 Secret??



The 90/10 secret is incredible! Very few know and apply this secret. The result? Millions of people are suffering undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening. Theirs is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be discouraged. You can be different!. Understand and apply the 90/10 secret. It will change your life! 


What is this secret?




10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how you react!

Let's use an example. You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. 

You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been to busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 (traffic fine) away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started badly. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to going home. When you arrive home you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. 

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say "It's OK honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a clean shirt and your briefcase. You come back down in time look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on what a good day you are having.

Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction. 

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 secret.

If someone says something negative about you, do not be sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do not have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out, etc. 

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the blue car ruin your drive.

Remember the 90-10 principle, and do not worry about it! 

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get irritated? It will work out. Use your "worrying" energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger, etc. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

You now know the 90/10 secret. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results.

The 15 Success Principles You’ll Never Want To Forget


The 15 Success Principles You’ll Never Want To Forget



You can’t assure success, but you can increase the chances of it happening. After all, opportunity favors the prepared. With the following 15 success principles, you can dramatically increase the chances of success in your life.

 That being said, the picture above was taken during one of our awarding and recognition rally's, As i was reading this article i cant help but  agree to the principles as it was the same principle that we uphold and practice to achieve our goals. From new bloods in this journey to achievers and living testimonies that once you put your mind into something, anything is possible!

So as it has inspired me and thousands of people in GFI let me share these principles with you =) 



1 – Prepare

The first success principle is preparation. It’s the foundation of success. With preparation you create your own opportunities. Once you have all the different elements lined up, it only takes a small opening to realize your goal. At the same time, taking advantage of big opportunities without enough preparation means risking your success, as you’re building without a well-laid foundation.

2 – Do something you love

You have to work very hard whatever it is you choose to do. Your work or your project will dominate much of your time and your life. Therefore, find something that you enjoy doing and do that.

3 – Get started

You have to start somewhere. Today is as good a day as any to start. Get into action today and start moving in the direction you want. Putting it off can only lead to failure, whereas if you start and see an early setback, at least you conquered that setback early on.

4 – Move in the right direction

Keep everything moving in the direction you want. It doesn’t matter if things go slowly initially. As long as the overall direction is favorable, you’ll get where you want to go eventually.

5 – Use the power of dreams and your imagination

What you dream and visualize today will become true tomorrow. You just have to work on turning it into reality. Just as your dreams can only influence your life if you let them, the cities you build in your imagination can only become real if you build them.

6 – Think big

If you set your aim a bit too high you might fall short. If you set your aim too low you might achieve your goal… and miss out on the other opportunities. By thinking bigger, the only limit is what is possible. You’re no longer limited by what you think is possible.

7 – Focus on growth

Seemingly impossible challenges are just cleverly disguised opportunities for growth. If you take those challenges and, in solving them, improve yourself, you’ll find yourself continually moving in the right direction.

8 – Maintain your determination

With enough determination, you can succeed through almost any odds. Enough determination means you’ll find a way no matter the situation.

9 – Set a clear vision

Think through where you’ll want to go. Develop a clear sense of what your final goal is, and keep this with you. By knowing the destination you want to reach, you can continually look at your current path and decide if it’s a route that will help you get where you want to go.

10 – Set goals along the way

A final goal isn’t enough. You need intermediate goals that set the path. These goals should be specific, measurable, realistic, attainable, and timely. These intermediate goals define the steps that you need to take to get to the final one.

11 - Work out plans of action for your work

For each goal, it helps to have plans to reach them. Your plan describes how you can reach each step from where you are, or where you will be. Keep in mind that the future is never certain. Things rarely work out exactly how you plan. Therefore, see these plans as showing one or more possible routes, not necessarily the route you’ll end up taking.
Still, knowing the plan means you can avoid long detours that might compromise your chances of reaching a goal on time — or at all.

12 - Commit to taking action

Once you start going, keep going. Never, never, never give up. If you find an obstacle in your way, chip away at it or go around it. The only way to really fail is to give up. If you keep going you’ll succeed. If you hit the limits of what’s possible, you can regroup and find another way.

13 - Use affirmations

Affirmations are just short, positive, and above all direct phrases in present tense. Things like “I’m getting more and more successful.” The idea is that they reinforce a positive world view. With affirmations, you are defining your own reality. By transmitting a positive world view to your mind, it adopts this view. As your mind adopts this view, it helps shape the world around you to fit it, which means it helps make the world around you one that reflects a reality of you getting more successful every day.

14 - Get rid of negative influences

Avoid harmful influences around you that might shake you from your goal. Keep people and ideas around you that support your success and your belief in yourself.

15 - Be grateful and appreciate what you have

The final success principle is to appreciate what you have already. Realize that — by sheer virtue of the fact that you can be reasonably certain you’ll live from one day to the next — you already have enough. Enjoy it! Appreciate what you’ve achieved so far, and see that what you want, where you’re going, is not what you need or what you must do. Rather, these are things and actions that will make your situation even better.

“Pare, Can I Borrow Money? I Need It for My Son’s Birthday”


I have an acquaintance who has been a hard working employee, achiever and career oriented in a sense. Indeed he was making a lot of money from his work at the call center industry.  
But there is one problem. Whenever he gets paid thousands, he spends them all on things that are on his wishlists. Daily, Weekly and Monthly wishlists.

Recently, Mr. Acquaintance started to lose his edge in his work. For reasons like "nobody is getting any younger" and call center work is a competitive, number driven industry. If Mr. Acquaintance, cannot produce then his job is on the line. There are health reasons as well, internal politics and such. He could not earn as much as what he was earning a year or so ago. The items that are on his monthly wishlists have started to just remain as wishes.

I advised him to learn to save some for an emergency fund and then invest some more in other financial ventures like business for his long-term needs. Even at that point when he has little left on his hand, he said he’s okay and can still pull it off.

“Pare, Can I Borrow Money for My Son’s Birthday?


One day, Mr. Acquaintance approached me and wanted to borrow money for his son’s upcoming birthday. He wanted to celebrate it in one of the famous fastfood chains for children in the Philippines. 

That will be Php25,000, please?
That being said, I gently declined his request and told him that I just have enough for daily needs. I did not mention anymore about saving and investing.

Here are the problems with Mr. Acquaintance:

1. He did not have any long-term financial goals.

2. He believed that he can rely solely on his work for his family’s living expenses. He did not diversify his money.

3. He did not save money

4. He did not cut his bad spending habits and borrowing. He would even borrow money just to satisfy their wants and lavishness.

5. He continuously refuses to learn how to invest for his and his family’s future through various financial instruments even if the opportunities are already presenting itself.
 
If you were in my position, would you lend him money? What would be your advice to Mr. Acquaintance? You may list them down on the comment section below.

May you all practice smart financial decisions and be fruitful living this 2013!
P.S1 I used to be from the BPO as well, from CSA-Quality-Training to Operations, from one center to another for almost 8 years. Like most, i used to live pay check to pay check with minimal savings and kept "WORKING HARD", refusing to look at financial opportunities until one turning point that made me realized that i dont want to "just" survive then grow old and broke.

Now i choose to "WORK SMART"!

Discover what helped me fixed my finances and provide for my family for the past 2 years and is & will be one of the best made decisions in my life and career!

So why choose to start a career with Multi Level Marketing?
There are so many valid and business wise reasons why people should start considering MLM or Multi Level Marketing as a alternate career or source of income in this generation and current economic standing. The word "option" even as part time or home base can be really lucrative and amazing with the proper tools and market.

In the on going success of the MLM industry over the years, it would be wise to listen to the successful (Yes! There are unsuccessful people & companies like most business in the market. Famous branches of clothing, food, groceries even food carts from small to BIG all have success and unsuccessful stories, the point is since its business why listen and focus in the unsuccessful when WE WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL?!)
