How to START your BUSINESS? (a tutorial)

[smurky]

you can still have the best of both worlds... (being an employee and being an investor)

"the problem is where do i start?" - i hate to say this (and you might fry me for saying it) BUT you really have to know your passion and focus your energy on "that" passion (i mean after your work pwede nimo lihokon imong "extra" sideline. naa ra na sa time management. i must admit medyo lisod sa sugod juggling your time for work, family and business. theres no other way. no shortcuts.)

"i'm not much of a risk taker" - business is really for the bold ones. no matter how big or small the business is there's always an element of "risk".... theres no business nga walay kuyog nga "problema"...

"can i be a dormant investor and yet still be successful?" - yes you can. let me refresh my memory, are you the one who's earning 15% interest sa imong company coop? that's passive investment. re-invest your interest to that coop. Another way is becoming a "shareholder" sa usa ka profitable company like San Miguel Corp. or Ayala perhaps but you'll gonna need a staggering capital for that... it requires millions (thats why there's mutual fund for those who have very little bank accounts.)

on my end... i highly encourage people to take a risk.... (a calculable risk)... you can always start small... but THINK BIG...

smurks, i have so many passion and i also have a lot of ideas but those ideas are not really my passion...

the problem is where do i start?

i'm not much of a risk taker...in fact, i cant leave my job just to start a business...

can i be dormant investor and yet still be successful?

i think some in here are like me...want to have a business but still have the stable job...

You CAN CREATE a new PATTERN of Success (chapter 7 of "8 Secrets of the Truly Rich" book ni bo sanchez)

"man is not the creature of circumstances;
circumstances arethe creatures of men." - benjamin disraeli

Let me tell you a story.
When I was growing up, I felt I was the most ungifted kid in the entire world.
Honest! I had four things going on against me.

First, my grades were bad.
As early as grade 2, i failed in math and filipino - to subjects i abhorred like ampalaya juice concentrate or like an antibiotic capsule that accidentally breaks open on your tongue. yuck.

i felt i was dumb exponentially raised to the power of three. my academic goal in life was to reach the high grade of 75. one day, one of my subjects reached 82 and i almost collapsed in shock. i went to my teacher and asked if she made a mistake.

today, im guessing i probably have some form of mild dyslexia, but during my time they, just call it "bobo".

second, i was bad in sports.
some kids were dumb but at least they were good in sports.
but i was a bano (physically uncoordinated).
i dreaded P.E. it was pure social torture.
for example, the teacher would ask me to dribble the ball - and while everyone would watch - i'd lose the ball, chase after it, manage to step on it, slip and splatter myself on the floor. and everyone would burst out laughing for five minutes straight. yep, even the teacher would laugh. (do you notice my deep resentment coming out here?)

obviously, no team wanted me. i was left standing alone until the teacher forced one of the teams to get me. so i'd enter the game and make them lose 10 points in 10 seconds. (i did the impossible.) and they'd hate me to bits.

You CAN CREATE a new PATTERN of Success (chapter 7 part II)

third, i was POOR.
my allowance was 50 centavos a day when the prevailing rate was two pesos.
i remember going to the canteen clutching my 50 centavos in my hand. "coke please," i asked. the saleslady looked at my coin and said, "coke is 60." i looked at the other goodies and asked again, "Cheeze Curls please." she shook her head, "thats 60 too." i finally asked, "what can i buy with 50 centavos?" she looked around and fished out something tiny. "Marie (biscuit)," she said.
At the precise moment, my classmate stood beside me with a five-peso bill and said," cook, Cheeze Curls and hotdog sandwich please."
triple ouch.

Fourth, iwas ugly.
Yes, i was. (i know its hard to imagine that now...)
they called me a refugee and tipaklong.
let me say this again: i felt i was the most ungifted person god ever created.

but today, i write books, compose songs, publish magazines, produce concerts, lead organizations, speak on radio and tv, run small businesses.... just to name a few things i do today.

i didnt become Albert Einstein. but i literally changed my life.
speaking of albert einstein, did you know he was dumb in school?

here are the actual quotes from his school teachers...

" no matter what you do, you will never amount to anything." - albert einstein's first teacher.

"your mere presence spoils the respect of the class for me." - einstein's second teacher.

""it doesnt matter; he'll never make a success of anything." - the response of albert einstein's techer to his father's question on what profession einstein should pursue.

these teachers were almost right. because at age 16, albert einstein failed an entrance exam to a polytechnic university in Zurich.

what happened to the dumb kid? why did he come to be one of the greatest scientists of the world?

like einstein, you can CREATE a new patter of success.

Enlarge your Psychological Wallet (by Bo sanchez)

"There is a secret to money. most people dont know about it. thats why most people never become financially successful. A lack of money is not the problem; it is merely a symptom of whats going on inside you." - T Harv Eker

The first reason why people are poor is because they dont want to be rich.
As absurd as this may sound, it's true.
Because subconsciously, we dont think it fits us. we feel it's not who we are.
Here's what ive learned.
If you want to make a small incremental improvements in your life, change your behavior. but if you want to make dramatic, quantum leaps in your life, change your beliefs.

So many people are trying to change their "behavior".
They try to save.
They study how to invest.
They start a tiny business.
But its not enough unless they rewire their thinking process. Otherwise the old thinking will sabotage their new behavior.
Let me repeat what i said on the first part: your money problems are mind problems.
And the first mind problem "is your core beliefs about yourself."

UNLESS you change the picture of yourself in your mind, it will almost be impossible to become rich. even if you have all the skills and connections in the word. even if you earn huge amount of money, you'll lose it again - if you dont enlarge your psychological wallet.

Tony Meloto, fouder of Gawas Kalinga - an amazing movement that buils homes and rebuilds lives of the poorest of the poor - says,
"ive realized that poverty isnt the lack of jobs or the lack of money. its the lack of dignity. the poor have lost their ability to dream. thats why we build very colorful GK homes. when the new owner of the GK house wakes up each morning and sees the bright colors of his home, he realizes that he can dream again."

ENLARGE your psychological wallet.

INCREASE your MONEY COmfort ZOne (by: bo sanchez)

"you are the way you are because thats the way you want to be.
if you really wanted to be any different, you wold be in the process of changing right now." - fred smith

I had to enlarge my psychological wallet.
Some call it our money comfort zone.
Can you imagine yourself with a million?
Some cant even picture this scene. some can picture it but they immediately feel uncomfortable. as though theres something wrong with the picture.
For example, some have P10,000 psychological wallet.
They see themselves earning P10,000 a month - nothing less, nothing more.
If, for example, they get a bonus of P20,000, they'll be happy on the outside but subconsciously, theyre panicking on the inside.
And so they'll force themselves to lose it all (usually by spending it) so that they can go back to their comfortable P10,000 identity.
They'll but the dress, the shoes, the cellphone.
Anything just to get rid of the money.
Just so that they can get back to their financial bondage.

A study was made involving lotto winners who've won million of dollars. a huge percentage of these winners lose it all after a few years. in five year's time, they find themselves in the exact same financila condition they were in before they won.
Why?
Because the millions couldnt fit their psychological wallet. something in them rebelled. so they "got rid" of it.
Some have a P30,000 psychological wallet.
Some have a P50,000, a P100,000 and a P500,000 a month psychological wallet.
Whats yours?
How much money are you comfortable with?
If you want to get rich, the first thing you need is to ENLARGE your psychological wallet.

Increase your money comfort zone.

Unless you SEE it in your MIND, it Won't become REALITY (by: bo sanchez)

"its time to start living the life you've imagined. " - Henry James

Deep within you, youve programmed your life to operate on a particular level of income and total net worth. because this is your psychological wallet or money-comfort zone, you cant see yourself earning twice as much or becoming a millionaire. you simply cant. something within you says, "are you nuts? me? earn twice as much? become a millionaire? hah! i might as well imagine im Donald Duck."

so you stay in your money comfort zone for the rest of your life.
it affects your love life too.
More likely, you'll subconsciously get attracted to marry someone who also has the same size as your psychological wallet. so both of you can comfortably live in that zone happily ever after.
Well, ive got news for you.
Do you know who set the dial of your inner financial thermostat?
You DID.

So anytime you like, you too can enlarge your psychological wallet to any size you want. you can raise your money comfort zone.
How? start with your imagination.
"imagine" yourself earning double of what you're earning now by next year - through wise investing and some side business.
That's right. double.
Get comfortable with that.
See yourself not spending it, but actually saving it, learning how to invest and seeing your money grow.
See yourself with the business on the side, aside from your fulltime job.
See yourself as an investor.
See yourself giving generously - writing large checks - addressed to Bo sanchez for his projects for the poor and his media ministry. (as you can see this book has ulterior motives)
youve got to see it in your mind.

Each week, Bro. Mike Velarde preaches to 300,000 people in the El Shaddai prayer meeting. that figure boggles my mind. during their anniversary, a million people congregated at the Luneta Grandstand. it was the late jaime cardinal sin who asked him, "bro. mike, what do you have that i dont have? why do these people come wen you call them to come?"
one day, i had a three-hour chat with Bro. mike velarde to ask him why.
"the grace of god," he said over and over again.
I believed him. Last christmas, he invited me to preach to his massive audience - and i saw it before his eyes. three hundred thousand people receiving grace!
"And bro. mike does it by giving them hope." thats why they keep coming back.

bro. mike asks them to raise their wallet for financial blessings - and 300,000 wallets go up.
He asks those who wants to migrate to other countries to raise their passports - and thousands of green booklets are up in the air.
HE makes them "imagine" their answered prayer. that they are healed. that they are debt free. that they are working abroad.
In a very simple way, he makes them set goals. and aim for them by the power of their imagination, by the power of their faith.

Unless you see it in your mind, it wont become reality.
